We had a wonderfully quiet and relaxing stay at this hotel. The setting is beautiful, with lovely views of the surrounding vineyards that made it a perfect place to unwind. It was also very dog-friendly, which we really appreciated while traveling with our pup.
The only area that could use improvement is the shower. It was somewhat cumbersome to operate and had low water pressure, which made it less enjoyable than the rest of the experience.
Overall, it was a peaceful stay in a gorgeous location, and we would gladly return.
What a wonderful find. This place was beautiful. Rooms are gorgeous with a deep jet tub, extra large shower and the bed was huge. The outside patio led out into the vineyards. Can't wait to go back with friends and family.
Resort is centrally located to the wineries in Temecula Valley. Our king room was large with a sitting and dining area. You can request a microwave for an additional fee. We had a nice view of the vineyards. Our traveling companions had a better view to the east with morning sun and view of the mountains. The pool and hot tub area was nice with a breakfast and lunch grill. We had an issue with housekeeping not coming one day, but after calling the front desk, they brought some coffee, toilet paper and fresh towels to our room.

Great rooms and beautiful patio. Service was friendly. Will definitely return.
Love the rooms opening up to the grapes and wine view, that's the best part. You should put see through wall in the pool area so people can enjoy the view of the winery from the pool area. It's such a nice view covered by a brick wall. Doesn't make any sense. You can see it standing up, but not when you are laying down in the pool area.
The rooms are perfect temperature, clean, balcony is amazing with views and the staff have customer service talent. I would definitely recommend the Carter
We stayed here for one night, but next time we’ll stay several days. One night was too short, and all the staff here were incredibly kind, so I highly recommend this place.
Couldn’t ask for a better stay, clean, cozy, beautiful scenery, please food and wine. Thank you.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Such a nice hotel to stay at. They were actually like little bungalows with your own private patio over looking the vineyard. Staff was so nice & rooms were nice & big & clean. Will def be staying here again if we come back to Temecula
The room was amazing. The views of the vineyards were beautiful especially early in the morning with the hot air balloons. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will be back in the future.
