Namaste Farms is a beautiful and quiet (with the exception of animal/farm sounds) private working farm located in the heart of the wine country situated down a wide and maintained disintegrated granite/dirt rd. While the cottage is only 1/2 a mile from the city limits, it has a rural feel and is centrally located to all wineries and most of the major equestrian facilities including Galway Downs and California Ranch Company. For those who are coming to Temecula for horse shows, we also have a large barn with bedded stalls and turnouts (for an additional fee). There are designated horse trails right outside our gates which will even take you to Galway Downs. If you're into golf, you can enjoy Temecula's 7 PGA golf courses or Pechanga Casino which are also within a short driving distance to the farm. If horses or golf isn't your thing, you can visit Temecula Valley wineries which are all within 1/2-3.8 miles of the cottage gates. If you want to have a "staycation" you can hang out here where you're welcomed to walk around the farm and interact with the animals. At night, can enjoy the sounds of serenity (which include animal vocalizations) while roasting marshmallows at our wine barrel fire pit (propane powered)!
We are dog friendly, but to keep our free range animals safe (and we have had them injured or killed by people not recognizing that dogs are predatory by nature), please keep your dog easily under control and on a short leash at all times. Also, because it's not possible to control your dog on a long line, dogs may NOT be tied or tethered anywhere on the property. In addition, for the sake of the antique furniture do not leave your dog alone in the cottage unless they are crate trained and in a crate. If you need to leave your NON-barking dog here, occasionally we have a bedded stall we put your four legged friend in. Also, If you want to let your dog off leash, about 2 blocks down the dirt road (off property), there is a large scrub field where you can let your dog run free. .
The "Hay Barn" cottage is a studio with high ceilings, a beautiful stained glass window and a rustically chic bathroom. This cottage can sleep 3; one queen bed with a twin pull out. Please let us know ahead of time if you need the pullout (we must move furniture out and bring the very comfortable bed in).
This price in the listing is for two guests, and each additional guest, after two, will be subject to a fee. If you have more people in your group and don't want to share, please check out the main cabin in a separate listing: homeaway 7347744
Please keep in mind that we are not a "pretend farm" set up to simply attract people to our facility. This is an actual working farm where shepherdess, Natalie Redding (Nat Geo Wild s, Shear Madness) and her working dogs, Lacey, Lad and Nesta work every day. This means there is dirt, dust, chickens, peacocks, alfalfa, sheep, bugs, and other living beings associated with nature and farm life. People who have not had the opportunity to experience the beautiful and grounding life on a working farm may not understand this. I do stress that if you re an animal lover who is excited about staying at a true working farm, your co-guests may not share your verve. While animal vocalizations may be music to your ears, others may not share your idea of "music." Please let them know about the animals sounds and that they will encounter dirt and dust with very little concrete or pavement. While I, personally, love the farm environment and am a frequent Louboutin wearer (even on the farm), they may not like having dust on their shoes.
We ask that when you re booking, you please put the accurate number of guests. Once again, this is because the price is for the first 2 guests with additional fees per person after two. If you have others who you'd like to be on the same property, but not in your cottage, please check out the main cottage at: homeaway 7347744
