Situated in Fallbrook, this lovely house for $950 per night is a great choice for your next break. Please note: Although Posada del Norte (PDN) can accommodate up to 18 guests, the published nightly rate only covers 10 guests. Additional guests (11th to 18th) will be billed at $85-$95 per person, per night. Also, reservation monies paid through Vrbo are not refundable. Therefore, we strongly encourage reservations only be made for 10 guests, our minimum number of guests included in published rate. Prior to arrival, once final & accurate guest count is more likely NOT to change, additional payments can be processed.
