About Kim Kelliher | John and Kim are long-time Temecula residents who love the Valley - especially wine country, where they spend much of their free time. They raised three boys in the Valley and now are empty-nesters. They travel frequently with friends and often choose to stay in vacation rentals instead of hotels.
Both pride themselves in providing exceptional hospitality. Grapeline Wine Tours, a company they founded in Temecula in 2002, has twice been named a Temecula Valley Business of the Year and was awarded the prestigious Hospitality Award by the Visit Temecula Valley organization. Grapeline has earned more five-star reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor than any other activity in the region. Kim Kelliher purchased this house in 2015
Why Kim Kelliher chose Temecula | This property appealed to us in large part due to the extensive and beautiful landscaping. To reach the hill-top home, you enter through a grand gate, across a pillared bridge, and up a palm-lined hill-side drive. It feels like you've arrived some place very special. The layout of both the interior and exterior living spaces is great for socializing with friends or family.
What makes this house unique | We love taking in the views from Casa Turo, especially at sunset. Even though more than 40 wineries are a mere bike ride away, the secluded home on a quiet country road offers a peaceful retreat with an inviting outdoor living space.

Reviews
Sewell D. - Peaceful and beautiful vacation spot (5 of 5 stars)
This is a gorgeous home that easily fit our 10 guests. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was a perfect size for cooking for a large group and the living room sat all of us. The outdoor area in the back was perfect for soaking up the California sunshine. At night our family enjoyed the gas firepit. The house was secluded and very private but close to shopping and restaurants. Kim was great to work with. You will love this home away from home!

Trellise F. - Perfect in Every Way! (5 of 5 stars)
Everything about our stay at Casa Turo was PERFECT! We hosted a friend’s rehearsal dinner here and everything was fabulous. Kim and her team are very gracious hosts and offer such a well thought out product. We also took advantage of their all day wine tour with Grapelne Tours and had an absolute blast. If going to the Temecula area, this IS the house to stay in and Grapeline Tours will not disappoint. We WILL be back. Thanks!

We had a 3-night stay at Casa Turo, in the center of Temecula wine country and about 5 minutes from our favorite vineyards. The kitchen and large dining area were the hub for our family reunion, with the outdoor BBQ area and outdoor gas fireplace serving as some of the great outdoor gathering places. The 4 bedrooms were comfortable and well-appointed and the 3 bathrooms worked well for us. There is a piano on site and my musical family appropriated the den (also a sleep area) as their music room. The ping pong table made for some added fun. This house was a treat, the owner/ realtor was super-responsive and accommodating, and we would do it again!
