Temecula wine country has plenty of places to stay, but Slice of Heaven gives the view room to breathe. Set on 20 peaceful acres above Lake Skinner, this 2,500-square-foot retreat gives up to 11 guests a private hillside escape with wide-open scenery, resort-style outdoor amenities, and easy access to some of the region’s best wineries.
Inside, the home is built around gathering and looking out. High wood-beam ceilings, a grand brick fireplace, a piano, a large flat-screen TV, and a wall of windows bring warmth and drama to the main living space, while the fully stocked kitchen features granite counters, high-end appliances, a farmhouse sink, and everything needed for relaxed meals at home. The family room opens through tri-fold glass patio doors for an easy indoor-outdoor flow, and the game room keeps the group entertained with a full-size pool table, Pac-Man and NBA arcade games, a 110-inch projector screen, and a selfie photo station.
The bedroom layout keeps things comfortable without overcomplicating the stay. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms are arranged in a split floor plan with two primary suites, giving families, friends, or mixed groups helpful privacy. Sleeping arrangements include one king bed, two queen beds, two pull-out couches, and a twin-sized chair, with hotel-style linens and bath essentials provided.
Outside is where Slice of Heaven really earns its name. Take in Lake Skinner, rolling hills, and sunset views from the patio, climb the spiral staircase to the view tower for a 360-degree panorama, or sink into the 6-person hot tub with a glass of local wine after a day of tasting. A private sport court with pickleball and basketball, a covered lounge with a fire pit, ping pong, open-air seating, and a scenic swing give the group plenty of ways to stay outside from afternoon into evening. After dark, the quiet hillside setting gives way to clear skies and stargazing above the valley.
Set in Temecula’s Lake Skinner area, Slice of Heaven places you in the quieter, more scenic side of wine country — surrounded by ridgelines, open land, vineyard roads, and wide Southern California sky. The setting feels removed in the best way, but tasting rooms are still an easy drive away, with Doffo, Wilson Creek, Chapin Family Vineyards, Frangipani Estate, Cougar, Citagliano, Danza del Sol, Bottaia, Ponte, Oak Mountain, Lorimar, and Fazeli Cellars all about 15 to 22 minutes from the property. Spend the day wine tasting, exploring the valley, or taking in Lake Skinner’s outdoor scenery, then come back for pickleball, hot tub nights, fire pit conversations, and one more sunset from the hill provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay. With our Concierge Service, guests have access to our tech-enabled services like fridge stocking, private chefs, massages, transportation, special occasion celebrations, baby gear rentals, ski gear, beach gear, and more. For anything you need, we’re at your fingertips.
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.
