The colony covers about 10 acres with the rest of the land left in its natural state. The colony is located in Temecula, CA, approximately 1 hour north of San Diego and 2.5 hrs southeast of Los Angeles.

Following a tragic wildfire in 2004, where everything was burnt to the ground, two of the eight original cottages have been rebuilt and modernized. Each have their own space on the land with a private bedroom and bathroom.

Dorland provides a secluded retreat with beautiful views of both mountains and valleys, is a few miles from Old Town Temecula, where many local events take place including live theatre, the arts and entertainment, restaurants and parks. Dorland is also adjacent to the popular Temecula Valley Wine Country with more than 30 wineries, vineyards and tasting rooms.
