Firefly Grove is located in Bonsall, a quiet rural town nestled among avocado groves and horse properties. While it feels tucked away, Bonsall is just a short drive from the surrounding communities of Temecula, Fallbrook, Vista, Escondido, San Marcos, and Oceanside —with plenty of local markets, wineries, and small-town charm to explore. Coastal spots like Oceanside, and Carlsbad are also within reach, making it easy to enjoy a beach day before returning to the stillness of the Grove. We have 2 livestock guardian dogs, who roam day and night, protecting the grove. Upon seeing you, they may bark with a friendly hello. Please advise us in advance if you have a sensitivity towards dogs and our staff will assist with a guided introduction.
