You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

5-Acre Enchanted Estate: Pool, Animals, & Views

Firefly Grove is a 5-acre boutique farm and creative haven where imagination and nature entwine. Every corner holds a “first”—a moment of wonder waiting to be discovered. Meet animals you’ve never met, taste fruits you’ve never tried, and explore a world where down is up, and up is down.

Designed for intimate gatherings, creative retreats, and dreamers of all kinds, Firefly Grove invites you to slow down, reconnect, and experience life through a more enchanted lens.
The space

SCENERY
Step into a living storybook—five acres of avocado groves, exotic fruit trees, and a shimmering pond surrounded by gardens that change with the seasons. Wander past flowering herbs, towering trees, and fruit you won’t find anywhere else. Every path leads to something new: a hidden hammock, a quiet bench, or a friendly face (furred or feathered).

SANCTUARY
Here, animals roam and wonder thrives. Meet our gentle mini-horses, mischievous goats, clucking hens, and four Flemish Giant rabbits. Honeybees hum around the orchard, dogs keep watch with soft hearts, and every creature plays a role in the rhythm of the farm.

SAVOR
Our culinary garden bursts with unique herbs, blossoms, and seasonal vegetables—many of which end up in our farm-fresh experiences. Guests can book private workshops like Forage & Feast, where you harvest and create a farm-to-table snack, or Botanical Dyeing, where plants become pigments. Every activity celebrates creativity, sustainability, and sensory delight.

SLUMBER
Inside Faelight Manor (4BR/2.5BA | Sleeps 12), every room tells a story. The home is a maximalist wonderland of vintage treasures and artistic details:

Princess and the Pea Suite: A regal king bed and moonlit bathtub for soaking under the stars.

Jade Dream Room: Two king beds in tranquil jade tones.

Disco Sun Room: Three bohemian twin beds drenched in sunlight and sparkle.

Cabinet of Curiosities Library: A cozy king bed and daybed surrounded by rare finds and peculiar delights.

*Additional accommodations may be available

SAUNTER
Follow winding paths to meditation rocks, a waterfall, and secret gardens. Lounge by the pool and jacuzzi, gather around the fire pit, or bask on the rooftop deck as the sun melts over the hills. Our 3,500-sq-ft deck is perfect for yoga, picnics, and open-air dinners, while the sprawling lawn invites celebration and play.

SERENITY
Retreat to our flex treatment room, available for massage, energy work, or creative healing modalities. Whether you’re hosting a wellness retreat, girls’ getaway, or romantic weekend, our small team specializes in curating meaningful experiences that bring your vision to life.

SUNSET TO STARDUST
When twilight falls, the Grove transforms. Lanterns flicker, giant dandelions glow, and soft lights weave through the trees like fireflies come to life. It’s a sight guests never forget—the kind of magic you have to see to believe.

SERVICE
Our on-site hosts and farm team ensure each stay is personal and unforgettable. We’ll guide you through the grove, introduce you to our animals, and help design custom experiences for your group.

LOCATION
Located in Bonsall, CA—just minutes from Temecula’s wineries, coastal beaches, and scenic hiking trails—Firefly Grove feels worlds away, yet close to everything.
