Carter Estate Winery and Resort, Temecula

These are very nice bungalows. The spaciousness and patios within the vineyard make this a very special, peaceful stay. The breakfast could use some upgrades for the bread. The croissants were ok but not crispy enough to be authentic. The muffins were dry and unacceptable. The fruit was delicious. The coffee was just OK. The bathroom is spacious and very pleasant. The mattress should have been replaced, as it is sufficiently old that it is scalloped. It would have been helpful if staff had picked up the trash.

This property is beautiful, and I'd go back for sure. Marci, the Front Desk Supervisor, was gracious about a registration mix-up on my end and shared a bottle of wine which was so good! The bungalows are a walk or golf cart ride from the Tasting Room. Check hours- it was closed at 5:00 pm, and I arrived at 4:45 pm. The bungalow is a great space, larger than expected. The bathroom is like a spa- huge walk-in shower, jacuzzi tub, etc. The only two things I'd say to change are to include an extra blanket in the closet because the bedding is only a sheet and blanket, and reduce the lighting-the chandeliers and bathroom lights were blinding. Otherwise- great!
