Cupid’s Castle B & B

It was just okay.
Pros
— It was a weekend get away.
— Far away from the city
— Connie was nice.
— Food was alright (it’s great if you like typical American breakfast and sweets)
— Polo (her dog) was super cute
— There’s a game room, billiards with crooked pool sticks.
Cons
— The hot tub was not clean. It had a lot of pubic hair and dead bugs.
— No dinner, restaurants around it were just okay. You can’t cook in the kitchen.
— The bed was super squeaky…
Heads up
— Breakfast is communal, you’ll be sitting with two other couples in a big table.
— Dirt road you’ll have to drive through. You’ll see the castle at the end of the road.
— Daily deals are going on for 99 per night… just look out for it, it’s not worth the price she’s asking for.

We spent a very relaxing weekend at the castle. Connie and Polo were amazing hosts. Breakfast was amazing each day. Our room and tub were in tip top shape. If a quiet weekend away is what you seek without driving hours and hours, then this is perfect. The Castle is about 15 miles in from the I-​15 at the 76.
Make time to sit and chit chat with Connie. Wow! She has some stories to tell and you will NOT be disappointed. We had so much fun sharing life experiences with her and hearing her stories from many catering gigs w/​stars such as John Wayne, Zsa Zsa, Bob Hope, George Burns, and more. Our time with Connie and another couple there were definitely highlights of the weekend!

This is the place to go to get away from it all and have a romantic getaway. I went with my husband and Connie, the owner, was so welcoming and friendly it was hard to leave. We went right before Easter and when we went into our room she had a basket of chocolates waiting there for us with a personalized note welcoming us to Cupid’s Castle. The breakfast was to die for and her triple berry lemonade was just what we needed on the warm nights.
Here’s a tip: the bed and breakfast is less than 10 minutes away from Valley View Casino so if you have never been, sign up for their player’s club and get a free buffet on the spot.

I’ve only had limited experience with b&b’s, and that experience was relatively bland. The castle, though, was a truly wonderful weekend. The setting will blow you away and Connie was so much fun to be around. Good people, good place. The food was superb. If you are looking to reconnect with your life, this is an ideal place to start.

Tip: if you absolutely need 100% privacy like a motel offers, a bed and breakfast is not for you. This place is tucked away and offers a personal stay in a room of your choosing. The outdoor setting is very pretty, the rooms are cute and comfy, and the owners (who live there) are super nice and cool. The walls are a little thin, no live tv in the rooms, and if you want to be anal the nooks and crevices aren’t spotless, but that’s all trivial for what you get in return. Bring some wine and your relaxation mode, and sit outside and enjoy the serene setting and great hospitality.
Oh and how could I forget… the breakfast is AWESOME. YUM!

My wife and I just came back from a 2-​day stay here and we both agree this is the MOST relaxed either of us have felt in a long time!
Connie and her husband Ted were excellent hosts and made us feel like family. The roomes were quaint, with many cute decorations to fit each theme. We LOVED the jacuzzi and the porch to relax on. Breakfast both days was scrumptious and the available snacks in the «communal» kitchen were a nice touch — we were overstuffed from windery visits, so we didn’t actually USE the snacks!
Even though we stayed on a discount coupon, we will be back at the regular price for more rest. Being located where it is, well inland from the area casinos, in the middle of 5 acres of lemon groves, make it a quiet, restful locale — so go for what it does offer. I don’t know what happened with «Charles» stay (earlier bad review), but can only think that he was the type who feels negative about most things… just sayin’…
Enjoy!

This was my husband and my first trip to a bed & breakfast and while we liked it overall, we probably just prefer hotels due to the privacy. Most everything about this place was really good, but we’re in no real rush to come back. We ended up going here by purchasing a dailysave deal for $ 99 a night.
Pros:
Connie left a chocolate-​covered strawberry and brownie for each of us to enjoy in our room and it was DELICIOUS! The breakfast of homemade waffles, eggs, sausage was good, but the highlight was the banana nut muffin!
The rooms have a very nice jacuzzi tub (although it took a while to fill it without the water going cold)
It was SO peaceful and beautiful, nestled in a lemon grove
Connie and Ted are great, really nice people, and their dog Polo is super cute!
Cons:
Water in the sink never got warm, so husband could not really shave.
There were cobwebs in the corners and ceilings of a lot of the rooms (especially the game room), which could then become infested with spiders from the wilderness. If the place was just dusted a little bit more, it would be a lot better.
Overall, definitely a decent B&B. Probably would not have been happy to pay $ 200+ for the room, but $ 99 was definitely worth it. :)

Oh My! This place is fantastic! A very romantic setting! My husband and I stayed here a few years ago and again a few weekends ago and both times it was wonderfully relaxing, romantic and pampering!
This time, when we arrived Connie had fresh made yummy strawberry white chocolate cupcakes set out just for us! My hubby also enjoyed 3 of her ‘just from the oven’ brownies!!!
I love the rooms, all clean, decorated and they had ‘rose petals’ all over our bed and floor! Check here to see some photos my husband took of the place

They had the softest robes and socks available for us to use and the stocked kitchen of snacks and all the fixings for ice cream sundaes was wonderful — oh and the fresh fruit lemonade — to die for!!!
Loved the jacuzzi in the room and the peaceful outside areas to walk in the garden and lemon groves. Really enjoyed having my morning tea out on the patio deck overlooking nature and listening to the birds with my hubby!
The breakfast in the morning was scrumptious! I hated leaving but can’t wait for my next visit!!! Well worth the $ for this wonderful retreat for couples!

Our second time here at the Castle, and this time we stayed 3 days and now we feel like Family!
What a joy, a great place to relax and be treated like Royalty!
This time we enjoyed the Romeo and Juliet room, and it was just as nice as the Godiva room, I think the giant spa tub in the room was even a little bigger. We even read Romeo’s letter to Juliet, framed next to their painting.
Both rooms have wonderful balconies overlooking the Picturesque Pauma Valley, fragrant wtih Lemon Trees, butterflies and magical flowers. We soaked in the tubs, then lay recumbant on the patio chairs to dry and read in the soft valley breezes.
In the evening we sat in the large room and selected movies to watch in the giant screen tv: chicklet brought popcorn to popin the micro! Aftewards we enjoyed hot chocolate on the front steps, and watched the millions of stars peeping out at us.
Yes, you really really must go to The Castle! You don’t even have to fly to Europe!
(And a PS: re the «Charles» who panned the place above: go look at his reviews: there are a very few, most of them negative. Apparently that is the kind person he is, so consider his review in his light)

Planned a romantic getaway for my wifes birthday at cupids castle. Reserved the romeo & juliet room and it was much smaller than the internet picture made it look. It was obvious that the place had not been cleaned in a while. There were cobwebs everywhere and so many dust bunnies on the ceiling fan I not dare turn it on. When I ate a pretzel they left out as a snack i almost vomited from it being so stale. When we came back from dinner and my wife pulled back the sheets she noted a bug in the bed. We called the owner who squished the bug and asked if we wanted the sheets changed. The plumbing leaks and the walls are paper thin so you can hear everything next door. So after spending the night sleeping in the chairs we left at daybreak to the comfort of our own clean bed. The health department needs to shut this place down.

Just returned from an overnight at Cupid’s Castle — what a wonderful place for a romantic weekend! Connie and Ted were great hosts, and married nearly 50 years, They must know something many people don’t! The rooms were beautifully decorated. We stayed in the Romeo and Juliet room, which was very spacious. All of the rooms have jacuzzi tubs, dvd players and access to an ourside porch.
Connie is a former caterer to the stars and it was apparent in the breakfast she served. Breakfast started with fresh squeezed orange juice, mixed fresh fruit and a warm bread of bran and fruits. Then Ted brought out the main course — plate piled high with french toast covered in cinnamon apples, scrambled eggs and sausages. Easily enough for each couple to share, but each person got their own plate.
One of the nicest touches in the room was a book where guests could leave comments about their time spent there. What fun it was to read about honeymoons and other romantic times spent there. We could not help but leave our own comments, and hope to return one day.
