You can look forward to a firepit, a garden, and a playground at Historic Gallery Retreat • Sleeps 8 • Wooded Hills Near Temecula. Stay connected with in-room WiFi.
Escape to a peaceful historic retreat in the wooded hills of Temecula. The Gallery at Gemini Moon Ranch is a spacious, private guest accommodation that sleeps up to 8, surrounded by more than five acres of ancient oak trees, walking trails and unique historic architecture.
Just 15 minutes from Old Town Temecula and approximately 30 minutes from Temecula Wine Country, the ranch offers the best of both worlds — a quiet nature getaway with restaurants, wineries, shopping and local attractions within an easy drive.
Known as “The Gallery,” the space was named by the ranch's original owner and builder, artist and architect Robert Morris, whose distinctive work can still be seen throughout Old Town Temecula.
THE GALLERY
The private, ground-level guest space includes:
• Queen bed • Large twin bunk bed • Two full-size sleeper sofas • Private bathroom with large soaking tub • Kitchenette with microwave, sink and compact refrigerator • Coffee-making essentials • Wi-Fi • Free on-site parking
With multiple sleeping areas, The Gallery is a great choice for families, groups of friends, wedding guests, wine-country weekends and longer Temecula stays.
MORE THAN JUST A PLACE TO SLEEP
Guests can enjoy the ranch's beautiful shared outdoor spaces, including an outdoor kitchen with grill, smoker and gas burners, decks and porches, fire pits, outdoor seating areas and walking trails beneath the oaks.
The seasonal creek and natural landscape make the property feel wonderfully removed from town, even though Old Town Temecula is only about 15 minutes away.
Spend the morning with coffee under the trees, explore Temecula during the day, then return to the ranch for a quiet evening under the stars.
A HISTORIC TEMECULA GETAWAY
Gemini Moon Ranch isn't a typical suburban vacation rental. The property was created by Robert Morris, the artist-builder known for his distinctive architecture and design throughout Old Town Temecula. The ranch was his home, and many of his original structures, artistic details and repurposed materials remain throughout the property today.
Guests who enjoy historic homes, rustic architecture, nature, photography and unusual places to stay will find plenty to discover here.

The host and property was extremely great.
We had so much fun and I recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a beautiful and historical place to stay.
Really unique place close to Temecula. Fantastic for casual group gatherings - BBQ, fire pits etc. Super friendly owners that were very helpful. We all loved the cats and dogs.
AHHHHH.... where to start and how to finish a review about a place that is simply TOO MAGICAL to even describe!? Our family of 4 (son, 15 and daughter, 18) booked the Gemini Moon Ranch over Spring Break for 3 nights. Our hosts, Tracy and Pete, are just beyond lovely. The entire property is sprinkled with incredible elements that take you on a journey through time and fancy. There is a dreamy bubbling creek w lots of areas to sit and enjoy the beautiful and peaceful surroundings.... including several swing chairs. Resident pets are chill and comforting. Wood and s'mores are provided for evening fires. Great communal spaces exist as well as privacy if one chooses. The rooms are soooooo cool and very cozy. Don't even consider another place if this one speaks to you as it cannot be duplicated. And it is truly a sacred place..... what a gift to have such an opportunity. I promise you will not be disappointed!!! We rarely if ever repeat a stay but we are already looking forward to returning!
Absolutely one of the most magical properties I have ever stayed at. Incredible details everywhere you look. The furnishing and style fit the property perfectly. And the hosts were equally as special. Looking forward to staying here again in the near future.
Absolutely Magical!!!! Words can not express how lovely everything was. From the initial contact with Tracy, to being able to visit the property before our stay, to the actual stay, to even our departure. This place is definitely a Diamond in the rough!
