Guest Reviews
- Reels (9/5): It’s was a wonderful getaway front the city. - The patio over looking the vineyards.
- Luke (10/5): -
- June (9/5): A little Pricey, but very lovely property - Room was well appointed, view of vineyard was lovely, and staff was helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the pool & spa. Seemed a little pricey. Wished the Tasting Room stayed open later than 5 pm. Huge Spiderweb on patio, spiders in the room.
- Janet (7/5): -
- Bertha (3/5): Not a value for the cost . - I liked location The rooms have pull out couches for beds. Mattresses is not comfortable and mattress are short. Also the WiFi is spotty , unable to watch a movie on the tv.
- Barbara (10/5): Very close to all there is to see and do! - Quiet, clean, hot air balloons in the early morning! Nothing
- Grigor (5/5): Don’t expect lots of food options in the estate but they do have 24hr champagne you can pick up at - Rooms were nice and comfortable. Beautiful view and quite relaxation. The room service was the only way to get food and drinks and it was horrible. We don’t even finish the pancakes for breakfast. However there were a lot of nearby wineries that had nice restaurants.
- Kristin (7/5): Lovely scenery, facilities could use an upgrade - Loved the outdoor space for our puppy Rooms were a bit dated
- Jorge (8/5): -
- Victor (10/5): Relaxing in Wine Country! - The center of wine country with beautiful bungalows overlooking the vineyards! A few minor maintenance issues in the bungalow that should be addressed.
- Melissa (10/5): I will definitely come back and invite others. Perfect for a solo, couples, or group trip. Direct access to the vineyard - Such a peaceful stay! I would love to visit again after they’ve finished updating the rooms.
- Geoff (10/5): Will be back! - Its location, relevant to some great wineries, including their own. Not that we didn’t like it, but we were a little disappointed that it doesn’t have a spa. 
- Christine (8/5): -
- De Leon (8/5): I believe my stay was great overall. There was an issue with the payment system over charging me for the hold, but it wa - I like the location and the privacy. That it is private and intimate.
- Aliscia Towles (8/5): -
- elainegentile (10/5): The Perfect Wine Country Escape for a solo traveler - I recently stayed at Carter Estate Winery, and it was truly unforgettable. The private bungalows made the whole experience feel peaceful and luxurious, and having the pool just steps away was such a treat. Every staff member I interacted with was genuinely kind and helpful, which made the stay feel even more special. The property itself is stunning — I enjoyed a breathtaking sunset and an equally beautiful sunrise the next morning, complete with hot air balloons drifting across the sky. It felt like a perfect little escape, and I’m already looking forward to returning.
- Landrin Long (10/5): -
- Dora (10/5): -
- Olena (8/5): В следующий раз мы остановимся только здесь 😊 - Большой красивый номер, великолепный вид с террасы, необычно большая ванная комната. Мы путешествовали семьей (3 человека) в номере постоянно чего-то не хватало, то кружки, бокала, халата, Геля для душа вообще не было, а в остальном все отлично.
- Torry (9/5): Nice and cozy stay with beautiful scenery. -
- Daydream505278 (10/5): The Best Resort in Temecula-perfect location, views, nice private Villas and the Best Wine/Champagnes selections!!! - Highly recommended Resort, great privacy, price, spacious Villas with covered private outdoor seating area and amazing panoramic views of the mountains, vineyards and best location, caring staff and best wine in the Valley. We are so glad we're a Wine Club Member for years with all the discounts, our favorite bottle of wines, amenities and special treatments plus a bottle of Carter Estate wine upon check in, thank you, we'll be back again soon, best rating in our opinion.
- dewf2025 (10/5): Such An Amazing Resort - Such an amazing stay. The location was perfect. The room was absolutely amazing. The bed almost commands you to stay in it, it’s so comfortable. The bath tub is HUGE. An astounding view with a private balcony. Even though it was cold, spent every night out there listening to music in the distance. Stargazing. Saw wildlife walk by a couple times. It was all so surreal. Went on a hot air balloon ride and this was 1 mile from where the balloon ride meeting place was. Couldn’t have asked for a better time or stay. Will definitely be staying here again if they have the availability.
- nicolejI6874BG (10/5): Beautiful - The room was nice and we had a patio and faux fireplace. The room looked updated and we called for housekeeping and they came right away.
- Roving00013389866 (6/5): Great Location, Lovely Rooms, Terrible Breakfast, Poor Communication - Your property is in a great location, the two adjoining rooms worked well for our family, and everything looked beautiful—both online and in person. We were also looking forward to the breakfast, but our experience was disappointing. When we arrived, the information we received about breakfast was confusing. We had expected a sit-down dining experience where we could enjoy a meal together as a family, but that turned out not to be the case. The food itself was underwhelming: the eggs were cold and tasted like they came from a powdered mix, and the breakfast burrito appeared artificially colored and lacked flavor. It's surprising that such a lovely hotel with beautiful grounds falls short in areas like clear communication and food quality. We would genuinely like to return, but not unless these issues are addressed.
- ricardoiS9MT (10/5): Temecula Jewel - Unique location with wonderful views of the Wine Valley. Great comfortable rooms. Well maintained, and kind staff. From the arrival to the departure that staff was friendly, efficient and attentive. Spend two wonderful nights celebrating with family...
- erikarE3031IZ (10/5): Carter Birthday Celebration - We had a great time staying at Carter’s. We came down to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Rooms are clean and staff is nice. I wish we would have booked 2 nights instead of one but definitely be back soon
- Fernando (10/5): -
- SBTraveler93 (10/5): Wine resort - Convenient location for visiting Temecula wineries. Rooms are specious and well decorated. Patio on the vineyard is nice for watching hot air balloons pass by. Easy parking. Bed was comfortable. Enjoyed the wines at the winery. Only drawback was there was a small tv in the room. Other than that, a perfect stay
- Dana (8/5): - Location, views, Accommodating friendly staff and jacuzzi tub. The age of the Murphy bed and stained old carpeting. The owner is 100% responsible in investing back into their hotel. It shows they do not care but only the bottom dollar profit takes presidency.
- Martha (3/5): Staff was very rude. They were inconsistent. Our keys didn’t work. I did not like to stay. - Check in time is 4 o’clock. Our rooms were not ready. They told me they would call me when they were ready. We had to go check at 5 o’clock. No one was at the office. I had to call and get someone to come. We were told there was food being served at the pool area. Apparently that’s not even a thing they do. The girl in the front desk was very rude. I would never ever stay there again. I’d rather give my money to another location that appreciates your customers.

- Rey (10/5): Great location. Great stuff. Beautiful view from patio. Big room and clean. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. - Everything.
- Companion28335934775 (8/5): Great For families - Great location. Large rooms with an incredible view. Near South coast and Ponte wyneries that offers Great restaurant options
- r0sindah (10/5): NYE getaway - Lovely stay at Carter Estate. Room was clean and grounds were well kept. Quiet and relaxing atmosphere! We stayed for 2 night for NYE. The weather was cold and rainy but the fireplace kept our room cozy. We also had a nice view and the vineyards and hot air balloons from our patio.
- lauriecN9926BF (10/5): Best stay in Temecula - Love this place. Peace and quiet, lovely views of the vineyard, nice rooms and my favorite is the soaker tub. Located in the middle of wine country but not overly crowded like some of the other resorts.
- Alicia (7/5): -
- 496yassineb (4/5): Disappointing. - Not clean, poorly kept up bedding and carpet. Vomit stains on the side of the bed, caved in mattress, sauce stains on the wall.. this is supposed to be an adult only hotel…
- Tameka (9/5): -
- Samogirl76 (10/5): Temecula Timeout - Took a timeout from the city for a couple days and had a wonderful stay at Carter Estate. The bungalow was large with high ceilings, the food was delicious and we always like taking a walk around the property. Parking is easy and right in front of your room.
- Robert (10/5): Second time here and I stood one time at south coast, we will be back -
- heidadyda64 (10/5): Lovely - Lovely location. Didn’t live the bed but everything else was fabulous. We were greeted with a bottle of wine, a friendly face and a lovely view. I really like this place.
- Jnette (9/5): - Great location and wine was really good. We had the Murphy bed and one side of the bed the bar was coming off but my husband fixed it. When I went to lift the bed up to turn it into a sofa the wallpaper on the other side was completely peeled off of one side it just was an eye sore. There also was a big stain on the carpet.
- stevel532 (10/5): Great Place in the Temecula Wine Country! - We have stayed here before and love this place. We enjoy sitting on the patio, drinking wine and looking out over the vineyards! Room are great and we like the hot tub.
- sbA8268BD (8/5): Excellent. So refreshing. - Beautiful location - our room was ten feet across from the vineyard. The patio of our room faced out , looking out at the vineyard and rolling hills in the background was so refreshing. Maya, working at the reception desk made the trip that much nicer. Good customer service seems so increasingly rare. Management should know of / recognize Maya's professional, personable and customer service oriented disposition. We had a couple of housekeeping requests which were handled very well. Thank you Maya. Good wine. Thank you Carter Estates.
- rhettw492 (10/5): Wedding Anniversary - We loved our stay. Our bungalow exceeded our expectations. The tub and walking in show were amazing! The view of the winery, from our private balcony, was spectacular. Sunrise was breath taking! 5 stars all the way!
- Gary (7/5): Quiet property set in a vineyard in a great Temecula Wine Country location. - The property is in a great location: easy to get to other wineries for wine tasting. The casitas are set back from the main road and were quiet. Shuttles were available to the South Coast Winery & Resort which made it nice to have dinner there. It’s an attractive property. The room had a king sofa bed for the primary bed. It was marginally comfortable. Water pressure in showers was weak. The electric fireplace in the room was very noisy to run although it gave off good heat.
- Calgarysheila (8/5): A special place and great choice - Slipped away for a two night vacation to explore Temecula. We loved Carter Estate. Very intimate and we almost had the place to ourselves. Rooms are huge with a giant bathtub. We had a Murphy bed room and were surprised at how comfy the bed was. Lovely to have a table outside on the patio right on the vineyard. Downside is there really is no food service after lunch so we were a bit at odds at dinner time not really wanting to venture out. The wines themselves are quite good. Much higher quality than their sister property across the street. Some very acceptable tastings. We had a package that included the tasting. Not sure I would have paid 30 pp otherwise. Only comment about the rooms was the very small tv which dated the room and made out typical evening Netflix impossible. An easy fix. Bigger and better quality needed.
- Andrej (9/5): Sunrise & Sunset surprise - Huge bungalows overlooking vineyards, we woke up to incredible sunrise and hot air baloons! make sure you order their delicious breakfest board!
- Cleonice (10/5): Silencio y calma - Un lugar donde puedes platicar y meditar con mucha facilidad
- Greg (9/5): -
- Traveljourneys13 (10/5): November weekend getaway - My boyfriend and I stayed in a Murphy bed bungalow this past weekend. When we checked in we were greeted by 2 lovely ladies. They gave us a complimentary bottle of wine and it was delicious! The bed was comfortable for being a pullout. The room and bathroom are a nice size. The rooms are dated but they go with the ambiance. They are very clean. The views from the patio are breathtaking! Very romantic! I wish it wasn’t raining this past weekend as I would have loved to walk around the vineyards! We will definitely be back. The parking area is very accessible!
- zhalehv2025 (10/5): Loyal for a reason! - We love staying at Carter Estates, it is our go to spot in Temecula. The private bungalows in the vineyard is just a fairytale stay, and the staff is always super helpful and accommodating. We also love that south Coast winery, which is our favorite wineries across the street and Ponte winery is right next-door I didn’t know we could get shuttle service until this trip to those locations so I’m very happy about it and we can’t wait to stay again.
- Brittany (2/5): -
- A9031VCrichardc (10/5): Worth every penny ! - Excellent service. Maya was a great help finding out info regarding my friends wedding location. Room was excellent and clean. The food is a whole entire story. Delicious big portions and you get your money's worth. Wow. I definitely woukd come back here again but for 2 days next time.
- Shenise (10/5): Best stay ever! - Loved how spacious and roomy the rooms were. I loved the view from our room. There was no microwave in the room.
- G2525GNjessicar (10/5): Wonderful for our wedding hotel block! - We got this room for our wedding room block. We had friends, family and couples at the resort in the vineyard bungalow rooms. Communication with staff was rest through entire process. Room was big. Food was good. And the balloons landed right in the back side which was so cool to see the morning of our wedding at sunrise.
- _K1698VF (10/5): Recommend for stay - Great huge suite, great for family of 4. Nice and convenient location. No food and café on the property. They give you a bottle of wine as a compliment
- scotl206 (10/5): Peaceful and relaxing in Temecula wine country - Carter Estate Winery and Resort is the best way to enjoy the Temecula wineries. Nestled in a vineyard and close to many of the other vineyards, the beautiful bungalows provide a peaceful and relaxing home away from home for your trip to Temecula. The rooms are quiet, nicely appointed and large with amazing views. Staff is helpful and amenities on site are good.
- E7962VAjacobr (10/5): Our Most Memorable anniversary stay - Can't write enough good things about my experience at Carter. from the second we got there and got our free bottle of wine, the experience was top notch. We then made it over to our room which had been beautfully set up by Maya for our anniversary so thank you so much to her. The room is spacious, bed is comfrtable and the being directly on the vineyards is hard to beat. Everyone we interacted with was a pleasure to talk to and we can't wait to go again.
- lyndahL3023UU (8/5): Nice property, good wine, cold bathroom - the Travel Zoo price was perfect. The wine, especially the sherry was delicious. The bathroom was cold and th shower was a mere trickle.
- Baklashov (10/5): -
- jaimepQ5099XM (10/5): Amazing stay - Carter Estate Winery in Temecula was a 10/10 experience! We stayed in one of the villas, which was spacious, beautifully designed, and opened right up to the vineyards—peaceful and private. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely made us feel at home. The property itself is stunning, with rolling hills, beautiful landscaping, and a relaxing atmosphere perfect for a weekend escape. Breakfast on the patio overlooking the vines was a highlight. Tip: take a morning walk through the vineyard trails and enjoy the sunrise—it’s unforgettable. Perfect for couples looking for a romantic, quiet, and luxurious getaway.
- H1411PDpatriciak (10/5): You made my birthday special - Stunning views and accomodations. Centrally located to wine valley. Beautiful room where on my birthday I opened my patio door to hot air balloons over the vineyard!
- 594arlineg (10/5): Beautiful stay in the Vineyards of Temecula - We stayed three times between July & October 2025, and each time was a great experience. Staff is exceptional. Each cottage is very spacious, although may need a little refresh, but with good amenities, large showers and soaking tub, and a large patio in a beautiful setting.
- lizdZ8261SE (6/5): Just Ok - More like an upscale motel. Stayed in a bungalow - not sure it is worth the price. Expected more at 500 a night. Food was ok. Staff very friendly.
- 257heatherb (10/5): Delightful! - Highly recommend - we have stayed at South Coast (the sister winery) before but after staying here we prefer the Carter Resort. Every bungalow has a lovely view over the vineyards as does the beautiful pool area. All of the staff were exceptional in our interactions and very personable when they drove or walked by us. The breakfast was delicious and delivered very fast to our room. Also, it was fun to watch the hot air balloons take off and land close by from our private patio.
- G9742XKlauraa (10/5): Carter Estates Goes Above and Beyond - I highly recommend Carter Estates for your stay in Temecula. The accommodation's are quiet, clean, high quality, detail oriented and comfortable. The staff is professional, courteous, helpful and caring. The food is delicious. The views are spectacular. This was one of those rare occasions where reality exceeded what I saw online. One of the best overnight stays I've ever experienced.
- AZCA9 (10/5): Fantastic quiet property - Beautiful quiet property with spacious super comfortable rooms. Private patios with views. Breakfast room service also available. Pool and jacuzzi nice after a day of exploring.
- bhetherington7 (8/5): Lovely property - Beautiful setting, nice big comfortable room, and convenient to Temecula wedding venue and other family members' Airbnbs.
- Leonor (6/5): - When I ordered breakfast my apple juice had mole
- Raquel (10/5): - over all , everything was excellent
- Gabriela (10/5): - The room was very clean and spacious. We enjoyed sitting in the patio looking out to the vineyards.
- Margaret (6/5): - View from the room was very nice, looked on to the grape vines. Water in the shower was cold never did heat up, to cold to wash my hair. Carpet in room needed repair. Ordered breakfast the first morning, dirty plates were still there the next day. Room was not picked up, when I called for housekeeping around 2:30pm was told they could only deliver clean towels which they did but breakfast dirty dishes were still not picked up. For the money I expected a little more.
- Jaclynn479 (10/5): Wonderful! - This is one of the nicest wineries I've stayed at in Temecula. Our room was very spacious and elegant. The patio overlooking the vineyard couldn't have been a nicer place to enjoy a glass of wine at sunset. It's very dog friendly as well and we enjoyed walking through the vineyard in the early morning. I hope to be back!
- Cruiser58523211260 (4/5): Very disappointed in run down condition - visited for a special occasion sept 2025. We were very disappointed with our bungalo and pool area. The photos on line are beautiful and website led us to believe this was a high end property. The bungalo was very rundown and outdated. Looked nothing like the photos on line. Furniture and decor is very old and worn. Sofa cushions and throw pillows are broken down from years of use and our vinyl head board covering was all peeling away. The carpet was dirty and not vacummed. Our particular bungalo shared a foyer with the unit next door which is the worst set up! You enter from an exterior door (very heavy loud door) into the foyer and then enter each unit directly into its bedroom with its own separate heavy loud door. Our neighbors had small children and were up and out very early morning talking loudly in foyer and slamming both doors which is magnified within the space and so LOUD in our bedroom. Such a poor design! The pool furniture is equally as old and run down.Several of the lounge chairs were torn and ready to fall through. Would not recommend staying at The Carter Estate bungalos if you are expecting it to live up to the photos on line.
- Shaun (6/5): - Room was slightly outdated . Spider webs in the shower. Could be cleaner for the price.
- Lascano (3/5): - The Murphy bed set up, the carpet was old, worn and coming up from the floor. The room seemed dirty. Greasy hand prints all over the countertop and refrigerator
- marcmQ8865YF (2/5): Avoid….Better options in the area - Understaffed and non-responsive! Our stay was very poor. This place needs help and there are some great options in the vicinity. Staff was non-existent. - I left some ear buds in the room. I made 5 to 6 calls to the MGMT and lost and found just after we checked out and over the following few days and never got a response. Interesting that I have been able to track their location and they are right there in the room. - We were over charged $70. No reason given. - The rooms AC was on perma-blast and the contraller was frozen. We could not get any staff assitence. - Resort amenities are terrible. I think they try and charge a resort fee for a dirty hot tub and a sad pool. Go to the Ponte. Our friends stayed there and we were very jealous.
- Hannes (8/5): Top Lage fuer Kurzurlaub Top - Lage wer ruhe sucht Top - schönes Zimmer und Aussicht aud den Weingarten SEHR hellhörige Zimmer - die Nachbarn hatten einen ungewöhnlichen Musikgeschmack und wir hoerten wirklich alles - nach kurzem Gespräch alles in Ordnung. Die Dame an der Rezeption war etwas uberfordert mit dem Check Inn aber danach alles gut - auch die Flache Wein als Willkommensgeschenk
- Diane (10/5): - The vineyard was beautiful
- Debra (10/5): - Large comfortable room, bed. Lovely view outside our door of the vineyards. Nice pool area. My only issue was the resort fee, not enough amenities to consider it a resort. No restaurant but had a breakfast available. Nice restaurants in the area. Many wonderful wineries and vineyards. Would stay again.
- krawner (8/5): resort needs a refresh - Had a mixed experience here. Pros: 1) nice views of the vineyard with glass doors that opened directly into the vineyard, 2) views of hot air balloons in AM, 3) large bathroom w/ double sink and walk-in shower, 4) easy parking in front of of the room, 5) dog friendly Cons: 1) shower pressure was very weak, 2) soaking tub jets smelled foul, 3) the Murphy bed sagged, 4) no free wine or tasting. Tasting room was ok. 5) carpet was bumped up and bubbled. furniture was scuffed. The sister winery South Coast winery is more upscale but views are less private/ scenic.
- stellakG86MC (10/5): Amazing - I always wanted to visit Temecula wineries but never did until I received a special deal for a stay at the Carter Estate Winery and took advantage of it. The entire experience was amazing from arrival to departure. We had a wonderful room, had daily wine tasting in both of their locations and received a bottle of their wine for the room. The room was spectacular and had a patio that opened up to the winery with amazing views.
- eat_travel_learn (8/5): Gorgeous views - The bungalow we stayed in was gorgeous and spacious. Loved the bathroom and that it had a double sink, tub and extra large shower. They also use Nest shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The views were amazing and I enjoyed receiving a complimentary bottle of wine and tasting tickets to their winery. I am pretty sure when booking I mentioned we would be celebrating a wedding anniversary and I thought they would have added an extra touch to the room but nothing was done. We were there two nights and did not receive room service (cleaning etc). Not sure if this was because of the length of stay.
- doricela (4/5): - The worse thing was the bed! Very uncomfortable feels extremely old as well as the pillows. The pool is good clean enough but there is no jacuzzi, food closes early. In general, the places is ok, rooms have a decent size but the carpet is extremely dirty, the rest of the e room including the bathroom is clean. A little unsafe because the gate is open 24/7 and anyone can access the rooms through the patio, the privacy is also sucked everyone can see you.
- Kayla (10/5): - The soaking tub was very nice
- joanna (10/5): Amazing views and relaxing spot - Beautifully decorated, large, comfortable room on a quiet peaceful vineyard
- Kristine Marie (10/5): - I only stayed for a night for a midweek getaway and it didn't disappoint. It's located in a nice and quiet vineyard with a great selection of wine to indulge in. It was very peaceful and relaxing
- Renaelarcus (6/5): VERY DISAPPOINTED - Very nice room, but check-in experience was horrible. Shuttle to sister winery was not working, but a server in the Tasting Room said it was, but then it wasn't. We drove ourselves. There is no restaurant and yes, you can order in the Tasting Room from the Grill at the pool but there is a delivery charge? We asked to speak to the manager who wasn't around so we left her a voice mail and she NEVER returned our call. And by the way, the shower was not good. Hard to get it to even turn on and then it's horrible. And......no one ever came to clean our room. I really hoped for a better experience. Disappointed.
- Jeremy (6/5): - In town for family wedding at nearby winery. Overall it is a good location within 15 min drive of shops and restaurants but the resort itself is a little dated. Their room service food is awful, showers terrible, an while the tasting room is nice with excellent service, the wine is completely unmemorable even to the average consumer. We haven’t been to any other wineries in the area to compare, but this is not a “resort” like a JW Marriott or nice Hilton would be.
- Genaro (10/5): - We stayed at The Carter Estate Resort for my birthday and it was absolutely amazing! The property is quiet, peaceful, and very safe, with stunning views all around. The location is perfect close to wineries yet tucked away enough to truly relax. I loved how calm and serene everything felt. Definitely a place I'd recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful getaway. I'll absolutely be coming back. Thank you for making my birthday so special I truly appreciated everything! #Room27
- M. David (2/5): - It starts with check-in you arrive in between talking and texting on their cell phones, they hand you a key card and tell you your bungalow is at the end of the street. No hello and welcome no welcome package no map no this is what we have going on during your stay, no this where the pool is, and we serve breakfast and lunch there, no nothing. I figure the welcome package must be in the room. Find our bungalow get in no welcome package So later Sunday when when we got back to the room at 4pm no house keeping. No fresh water no replacements for coffee or tea no replacement tissue no trash pick-up, nothing. I had developed a cold during our travels. All the trash cans were full, very small trash cans. She heads to front desk to complain about no housekeeping. When she brought up the water tea coffee and tissue. They walked away filled a garbage bag and said here. Now it’s between 12am and 1am and we’ve been woken up by heavy equipment operating outside our window and in the vineyard. No heads up that this would be occurring. I didn’t realize that when you booked a hotel room that you had to specify that you wanted to be able to sleep between the hours of 12am and 4am. That’s when they finally stoped. When we brought up the issue of the equipment running outside of our room that evening. They said she could not do anything since we booked through Expedia. Expedia can you please help us?

- Manuel (10/5): - Best calm place to stay and relax couldn’t imagine better place to stay.
- James (10/5): Great small bungalow resort - This is a great smaller property with great views from every room. Very quiet, private and with easy access to wineries nearby. The sister property is very close and both properties have a tasting room to enjoy. The food choices are a bit smaller here, but you can easily shuttle 3 minutes to South Coast Winery and Resort for a wonderful meal in their great restaurant or patio. Would definitely stay here again.
- Fred (8/5): - Everything was great accept it would have been better if the pool was heated.
