Cozy place!
Great thrift store shopping with a country feel. Friendly people. Beautiful location.
Fallbrook is a beautiful city.
It is a beautiful area.
I was there for a wedding. The wedding venue (Grand Tradition Estate) was very pretty. The area is quiet, a lot of ranch style homes, big properties, farm area. It's close to the casino (close enough) and Temecula wine country is a short drive as well. Ubers will take about 20 minutes.
