Rancho Rockotillo - Breakfast in the Boulders next-door to National Park !

10/10 Excellent
"Everything was great. This property is right at the edge of the park, up a couple dirt roads. It was remote enough that we just prepared all of our meals. I would not have wanted to be driving back and forth on those roads in the dark (I am old.) Light pollution was quite low and so we had good stargazing from the patio."

10/10 Excellent
"Spent a week under the sun in this cozy cabin with lots of character. It's right next to a fairly active road but bumps up right against the park, which offers some beautiful long walks in the wilderness. No dishwasher, washer or dryer. Only one TV in the bedroom. But lots of windows (with a good breeze), two full bathrooms, a couple working spaces, and great internet"

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay in this house especially for its beautiful, spacious views, large well shaded and furnished porch, and proximity to the park. Views from the inside of the house are also lovely and the large, desert garden with native plants and rock formations. We were not so happy with the management company, the rental application process, and not being able to find out about entry until the first day of the rental when we had no internet access. No one, neither owners nor rental company was in contact with us during our 12 day stay."
