Bear Bridge by AvantStay | Hilltop Haven in Temecula w/ Views!

Welcome to Bear Bridge, an AvantStay home!

This scenic fun-filled 2.5 acre Temecula Wine Country Estate is perfectly situated close to town while only a few minutes from all major wineries. Crown molding, 10ft ceilings, Travertine tile, hand detailed woodwork, wine bars, picture windows, luxury bathrooms, walk-in closets in all bedrooms, multiple fireplaces and a deluxe open kitchen all highlight this classy and entertaining home. The entire secluded property offers you privacy and the choice of unique and traditional activities along with amenities that will easily help all to relax. Enjoy the covered full patio with TV that points you towards the majestic views of the Palomar Mountains and Observatory 50 miles out. Right from the patio create a group competition on the lighted nine hole mini-golf course, or just practice your stroke using the pro putting green on the other side of the custom redwood bridge. The large bear and baby bears wood carvings around the golf course are originals from Montana. The avid golfers can try the various installed chipping mats and shoot for the green that sits below the 60ft tall eucalyptus trees (swing attached) on the east end of the property. A regulation horseshoe game is towards the four-stall horse stable that was used along with the residence for the filming of a Christmas story Netflix film featuring a talking horse! Corn-hole and darts round out the outdoor fun and games. If that isn’t enough play take it inside to the pool table, backgammon game, dance around the record player or play the guitar. The sun sets over the vineyard that is just beyond the Olive tree and Italian pine-lined front driveway. That may be your sign to indulge with a soothing soak in the large above-ground hot tub that rests in the wine garden next to the putting green. Or choose to sit around the fire pit with wine glass in hand to share your stories of the day and take in the awesome open space view. In the morning don’t be surprised by the Hot Air Balloons in the sky, one may even land close by! This is true California wine country lifestyle!

Nearby Attractions: Briar Rose Winery (walking distance), Wilson Creek Winery, South Coast Winery, Calloway Winery, Doffo Winery, Old Towne Temecula, Old Temecula Community Theatre, The Restaurant at Ponte, Pechanga Casino, The Legends & Redhawk Golf Courses, Hot Air Balloon Flights, Horseback riding.

There’s a lot to see in this town and even more to drink. Our suggestion? A tour at one of the local wineries so you and your group can sample a diverse range of local flavors. For something less intoxicating but equally fun, visitors can berry-pick at local farms and taste the fruits of their labor. Hot air-ballooning is a stunning way to see the rolling hills of Southern California wine country from every angle and is one of Temecula’s most sought-after attractions.

Great stay at Bear Bridge
We thoroughly enjoyed the house! We had 6 adults and the house was spacious with great seating indoors and outdoors. Very nice furnishings. We enjoyed the views and the fire pit as well as the barbecue grill. The only concern we had was the room with the bunk beds is not suitable for 2 adults as the top bunk was inaccessible with the type of ladder for an adult to climb. Would recommend possibly replacing with 2 twin beds. There was also a comment that beds were a bit soft in other bedrooms. There were a few minor maintenance needs such as ice and water dispenser through refrigerator door. was not functional. There was a light out above the kitchen sink and the bathtub stopper in the bunk bed bathroom did not hold water in the tub. These were all minor issues and am sure they will be taken care of quickly. The host was very responsive and the information provided about the house in the online manual as well as the manual in the house was great and easy to follow. Would definitely stay at this property again as it was very comfortable and beautiful.

Celebrate good times
We rented the house to celebrate our daughter's 21st birthday as she returned home from college for winter break. The house was so beautiful and spacious but cozy. Central to many wineries and amenities. The street was a bit hard for our limo to navigate but we just walked up the street to meet it. The check in process was so easy. We will definitely stay again.

This listing is even better in person and I did not even know that would be possible. It's so spacious, clean, and beautiful. Very quiet neighborhood with a lot of privacy. About a 7 minute drive away from the closest winery and grocery stores aren't too far either. I would definitely stay here again.

Spacious house minutes from wineries and much more
Spent a week in February at this house. We are three couples celebrating our Valentine's Day Anniversaries. All three couples married on Valentine's Day, different years, but have spent our Anniversary vacation together for the past 23 years. This house was perfect for us, each couple had their own space, including the bathrooms, and the great room was a fantastic space to make food, play games, and watch TV. The kitchen met all our needs, didn't really use the 'game' room or entry living space but it was there if we needed it. The AVANTSTAY team was very responsive when we had an issue with the TV and fireplace. From the back patio we could watch the sunrise every morning and, on most days, the Hot Air Balloons were overhead. We visited wineries, drove up to Jilian, and spent a day in Old Town Temecula. All in all a great vacation.
