WHAT TO EXPECT

This is a large luxury home in the countryside, built in 1987 and renovated in 2022. We maintain it lovingly, but it's not a brand-new hotel.

WHAT THAT MEANS:

• This is a vintage luxury estate, not a modern McMansion—expect character, not perfection
• Pool heat: 75°F is standard (many guests love this). Warmer temps require advance planning + fees
• Rural living: You'll see occasional bugs (earwigs, ants), wildlife (coyotes, gophers). We have regular pest service
• Weather: Fallbrook is mild year-round (60s-80s). Winter pool at 75°F is perfect for many—plan ahead if you need warmer
• Events: We love weddings and celebrations, but limit to 60 guests / 12 cars due to parking and fire safety
• Noise monitoring: We have outdoor sensors to protect neighbors. Loud parties or outdoor music without permission will result in removal

WHO THIS IS FOR:

+ Intimate weddings & vow renewals (up to 60 guests)
+ Bachelorette parties & wine country getaways
+ Families with teens or older kids
+ Quinceañeras & milestone celebrations
+ Multigenerational family reunions
+ SD/OC/LA escapes seeking rural peace + space
+ Military reunions & retreats
+ Groups who value architecture, privacy, and authenticity

WHO THIS ISN'T FOR:

- Families expecting an 85°F pool without advance planning
- Large ragers (60 guests max, noise monitoring in place)
- Guests who need modern perfection (this is a 1987 estate, renovated 2022)
- Anyone uncomfortable with rural living (bugs, wildlife, occasional maintenance issues)
- Groups expecting hotel-level service (no daily housekeeping, no front desk)
