PLEASE NOTE that names of streets on maps and on street signs often differ in Morongo Valley, and some roads can be quite difficult as they are not publicly maintained. Please be sure to follow our turn-by-turn directions. Other Things to Note: ◎ POOL AND HOT TUB HEATING: The hot tub is always free to heat. However, during the cooler months, there are extra charges for pool heating, see below.

Many of the solar lights did not work due to damage or I suspect they needed new solar batteries. It gets quite dark, which was amazing, but my nephew took a tumble because of the darkness. The pool was beautiful but the pool and jet sauna lights did not work. ( Bummer) This one was on me, I didn't realize the location did not have a washer/dryer so be aware of that. Lastly, I was disappointed with the shower head. It just sprayed all over the place with minimal pressure and the plastic strip that is suppose to block the water from getting all over the bathroom floor didn't do the job. On the bright side, the location is remote but not so much so that one feel's out in the middle of nowhere. The terrain and the stars were breathtaking and it was a pleasure to have a property management team respond so quickly and kindly. ##### Richard D. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Katherine S. 23 Apr 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very Dissapointed This home looks absolutely nothing like the pictures online!! VRBO makes it seem well maintained, clean, with large rooms and that is not what we got. Our group - Me, best friend, other friend and his wife were all underwhelmed. The house had SO LITTLE of the basic things. The bath mat was one tiny squire that literally looked meant for a 2 year old. I immediately ordered one from Lowe’s. I was also shocked to find no pool umbrellas as it is blistering hot there in the spring / summer!! So I bought 2 umbrellas and had them delivered. We also discovered that The pool was NOT heated and freezing. I read in the welcome package the pool wouldn’t be heated in winter months, but this is late April / Summer so it should’ve absolutely have been heated up. I called the company to find out ANY info on the pool and have not one phone call back in 48 hours. In the info packet you obtain before you arrive the directions are so sparse. And to bring the pool issue again we LUCKILY ran in to their pool many, but he too had no idea how to fix it. Back to the items that were not provided - there were only 2 sets of TINY shower towels, 2 washcloths, and 2 hand towels. And maybe some 15 year old pool towels that were so small they could’ve fit a toddler. Luckily I am EXTREMELY OCD and brought my own beach towels which I chose to leave there so that this doesn’t happen to another person or family. So dear Morongo Stat, now you have brand new towels, 2 beach umbrellas, and a bath mat! It really pains me to say that this place was a 1/10 but I would never go back. ##### Katherine S.

Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff R., New York 23 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An absolute gem!!! I want to purchase this property. Wow...just wow. To give context, we are from Manhattan and do not get to experience seclusion and remote beauty too often. The property is incredible. Very intimate inside and perfect for a couple. The views are amazing and the property is very clean and well kept. The property contained everything needed for an extended or short stay. Bring food and clothes and you are well taken care of. There are so many towns very close (Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, etc.). There is even a washer/dryer located on the outside of the cottage in a shed and was invaluable. The property land is larger than we thought and on a hill with simply fantastic 360 views. You can stroll a little away from the property but I am not sure where property lines are so we didn't venture too far (but fun small hikes). The BBQ out back was so much fun and watching the sunrise with coffee or sunset with some wine was very relaxing. The management company has been the best we have ever experienced through VRBO. We had many questions because we stayed during the Apple fires that started 30 miles away from the property. Management sent daily (sometimes more) updates and would return concerned questions within minutes. If a question arose, they were quick to respond and really made us feel comfortable. Check-in was extremely easy and the provided binder was full of useful suggestions and guides. Our two complaints were 1) the internet. It is satellite and did not work for the 5 days we were there. This could be because of the smoke from the fires (although there were some clear days) but we were hoping to get some work done (being that we are all remote now). The other 2) is cell phone reception as it is extremely limited and only seemed to work well in the bedroom. We have AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile and AT&T was the only provider that seemed to work (and again only in the bedroom). Lastly, although you can get to the property with almost any vehicle, I would strongly suggest an SUV or larger. The road to the property is dirt and has many bumps, rocks, and crevices. If you are looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, and want to experience a zen-like retreat, please stop reading and just book this property. The owners and management have done an incredible job of making this a completely unique oasis. I cannot wait to return!! ##### Jeff R.
