    Amazing rooms with the best view of the vineyards and hot air balloons in the morning.

    the bed was a bit too firm for me. That is my only complaint and the other rooms did not have a mattress too firm.

    I love the large size rooms with patio doors that open to a fabulous view of vineyards and hot air balloons.

    The Murphy Bed felt more like a sofa bed. The mattress was not comfortable. I wish it had a high quality bed mattress.

    Carter Estate is a beautiful and perfect resort for a peaceful and restful getaway. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Being an RN I was very pleased that they also offer discounts for First Responders and AAA members. I booked this vacation through Booking.com. The price would've been the same booking it through Carter Estate. We stayed Thursday - Saturday. Upon arrival we were greeted and received a complimentary bottle of South Coast’s Founder’s Reserve red wine. The room and bathroom were very spacious, and clean. It had a king Murphy bed but the mattress was not as comfortable it felt more like a sofa bed mattress. The fireplace was electric and the patio had a private sitting area. The bathroom had marble and granite bath with over-sized soaking tub and separate shower with no door. The room had a small, round dining table with two chairs, an armchair, mini refrigerator, Keurig, coffee pods, water bottles, and a flat screen TV. Our outdoor private patio overlooked the stunning vineyards of the Estate with beautiful views of Temecula Valley. To our surprise on Saturday morning, from our private patio we were able to see hot air balloons drifting over wine country. It was magical! The site is very quiet and serene. The pool area was nice and the water was warm. We were not able to visit the winery tasting room since it was not opened at 12 pm as the time noted on their door. We will have to visit again soon!

    Breakfast was very limited, meaning that there was only sweet stuff to choose. We could have paid for additional choices, but this was then like a ‚full meal‘ (far too much). Little bread/toast and butter would have been really appreciated.

    Wonderful Estate. We had a great stay.

    We didn’t feel the same quality as we did November 2022. The breakfast is brought out differently- more of a to go order instead of the presentation looking elegant. The breakfast was also limited to only choosing one thing from the menu. This time we were not given a complimentary wine bottle. The worse part this time is that out room had a shared hallway with the adjoining room. The hallway echoes a lot and our neighbors were super loud. They left at 4 am in the morning and kept taking so loudly. In addition, the room next to us had about 8 people staying in room. I’m not sure how they allowed this? My husband and I wanted a peaceful night, but the neighbors had a gathering/ party outside and were super loud. We couldn’t even go outside to enjoy the sunset because they were partying next door. The noise kept going on through the night and since they left early, we could not have a good sleep. I would recommend that the hotel do something about this

    We absolutely love the location! We have stayed here two years ago and wanted to come back since it overlooks the vineyard and the valley. We loved it so much we wanted to return.

    As the resort is quite a long way from any nearby shops or restaurants it would of been nice if there was a better selection of food & drink available at the resort, especially in the evenings.

    The room & the view from it was great, the breakfast was ok & arrived at the requested time every day. All the staff we met were both friendly & helpful

    Even though we booked two rooms on the same reservation, we were split up into two separate buildings. The people we were next to came in late and because there was a shared entrance door that slammed shut, they woke us up multiple nights in a row. It would have been much better if they put us together/ had doors that didn't slam. The breakfast room service was lovely but they didn't pick up the trash after. They explained that they only clean rooms if you are staying more than two nights. but picking up left over breakfast trash should still happen everyday. We even put it outside the room to make pick up easier.

    The rooms were really big, with an outdoor and indoor seating area- the perfect place to drink wine and bubbles that can be purchased on site for a very reasonable price. The location was very convenient for getting around Temecuala. The view from the room overlooking the vines and getting to watch the sunset was lovely, as was the ability to walk through the vines.

    There was a guest next to us who had a large Labrador Retriever that he let run amok. The dog ran through the open patio door and inside our room on two occasions. The same guest kept going in and out of his room constantly for at least an hour. The guy clearly had issues. This was the only damper on our stay.

    The patio was nice as it faced the vineyard.

    The staff missed to leave bed sheets for my sleeper sofa but brought them round when requested.

    I liked that the property was a good distance from old town, in a place surrounded by vineyards, felt quite private. Loved the heated pool! And the access to a patio from the room. Bathroom was enormous with shower and big bath!
