Historic Cowboy Retreat • Sleeps 4 • Wooded Hills Near Temecula

Escape to the wooded hills above Temecula and experience a stay unlike anywhere else.

The Cowboy Room at Gemini Moon Ranch is a cozy, rustic retreat tucked beneath ancient oak trees on more than five peaceful acres in De Luz. The ranch was created by artist-builder Robert Morris, whose distinctive work can also be found throughout Old Town Temecula. Reclaimed materials, vintage details and Old West character make the property feel like a little step back in time.

THE COWBOY ROOM — SLEEPS UP TO 4
Your private ground-level apartment includes:
• Full-size bed
• Full-size sleeper sofa
• Private full bathroom
• Full kitchen with stove and full-size refrigerator
• Dining area
• Private entrance

ENJOY THE RANCH
Step outside and explore the property at your own pace. Guests can enjoy:
• More than 5 wooded acres beneath ancient oaks
• Walking trails and peaceful places to sit and unwind
• Outdoor kitchen with grill, smoker, gas burners and sink
• Multiple decks, porches and outdoor seating areas
• Fire pits for relaxing under the stars
• Seasonal creek and bridge
• Plenty of free on-site parking

The ranch is wonderfully peaceful and secluded, yet you're only about 15 minutes from Old Town Temecula and approximately 30 minutes from Temecula Wine Country. Wineries, restaurants, live music, golf, horseback riding, hiking and hot-air ballooning are all within easy reach.

GOOD TO KNOW
We live upstairs in the main house and are available if you need us, while giving you plenty of privacy to enjoy your stay. The west side of the property and workshop are private owner areas and are clearly marked.

Gemini Moon Ranch is also available for approved photography, filming and small gatherings. Events, professional photography/filming and unregistered visitors require advance approval and may involve an additional fee or separate agreement.

Private yoga, meditation and sound-bath experiences may also be available by advance arrangement.

Come slow down, breathe deeply and experience a quieter side of Temecula.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, a desk, and a travel crib. Housekeeping is available on request.
