Notes from the host
Unparalleled House & Property Near Grand Tradition Estate and Gardens
Please note: Although Posada del Norte (PDN) can accommodate up to 18 guests, the published nightly rate only covers 10 guests. Additional guests (11th to 18th) will be billed at $85-$95 per person, per night.
Also, reservation monies paid through Vrbo are not refundable. Therefore, we strongly encourage reservations only be made for 10 guests, our minimum number of guests included in published rate. Prior to arrival, once final & accurate guest count is more likely NOT to change, additional payments can be processed.
PDN is a fenced & gated 3,350 sqft estate home located on 1.8 private & spacious acres, just 3 miles off Highway 15 in beautiful Fallbrook California.
PDN’s stunning resort-like grounds include more than 4,000 SF of beautiful SYNLawn artificial grass with HeatBlock technology. PDN's tropical, solar heated pebble tech pool & jacuzzi (heated at will) is surrounded by our majestic waterfall and multiple seating areas, all designed to inspire & maximize outdoor living.
The Temecula Wine Valley, Temecula’s historic Old Town, & the Pechanga Casino & golf course are only 8 miles north, a short 15 to 25-minute drive. Those considering a vacation rental in Temecula should also consider that during hot summer months, Fallbrook is generally 10 degrees cooler than Temecula… making it much more temperate & comfortable.
Now then, upon arriving at Posada del Norte, a stately 17' privacy gate will slide open, allowing entry to PDN's ample driveway. Up to eight registered overnight guest vehicles can park in driveway.
An elegant stained-glass double door, with a convenient digital lock, leads to an open-beam, vaulted ceiling living room with spectacular views of the backyard, pool, & across Fallbrook’s rolling hills.
PDN's gourmet kitchen, dining room, & living room promote communal living via a generously open floor plan. These spaces are flooded in natural light through east-facing windows.
The large living room is furnished with three full-size couches (one is a queen sofa sleeper, one a regular couch, & the third is a triple recliner sofa); a built-in entertainment center offers a 75” smart TV (with Direct TV service); a DVD player; and a generous DVD library.
Three ottomans (each convertible to single beds) are arranged in the living room to create a huge “coffee table”; a wood burning stove adds ambiance (firewood not supplied but available locally); and a 120” remote controlled drop-down movie screen offers a unique home theater experience.
The gourmet kitchen is equipped with a professional DCS range w/double oven; granite counter-tops; 29 cu ft fridge (with filtered water & ice dispenser); dishwasher; stainless steel microwave; an independent 5-gallon purified water dispenser/ice maker; and most standard appliances including a 12-cup standard coffee maker; stainless-steel toaster oven; and a 4-slice toaster. The kitchen’s large central island makes it easy for everyone to pitch in.
The dining table provides seating for six with four additional bar stools on the dinning room side of kitchen counter. Because the property was purposely designed to enjoy Southern California’s temperate climate, beautiful views, & healthy outdoor living, there are two other outdoor dining options. These include the Gazebo Lounge & the Redwood Lounge.
