The host is on top of any needs. Truly feel that you have traveled to somewhere in Europe with the way the yard is decorated! Would easily recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful get away without a plane ride… I would definitely stay again. ##### Ian B.

The pool is nice and cool on a hot desert day. The bed was VERY comfortable which was great because we were there for a music festival and resting between performances is important. It's really close to a ton of great dining and shopping and not that far from festival venues... just far enough away to enjoy some quiet. :) ##### Tripp T.

April & her husband have created a magical property w a guest house. The rental includes use of most of the backyard & pool. Lovely neighborhood that convenient to all areas of the desert. The guest house is a large 1 bedroom and is private. They are darling hosts who communicate really well. Wish we could have stayed longer. ##### Lori R. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Heather H. 31 Jul 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Listing not accurate We chose this property over a hotel based on previous reviews and private pool and outside space. Room is tiny as cupboard is now a space for a small fridge and coffee maker. Furniture and decor is eclectic which is fine if it was clean and maintained which this place is not. Pool is not heated and about 60 F you have to ask the host to turn the hot tub on to heat up at least 2 hours prior to using. The pool area is not kept clean and the two lounge chairs pictured are rusty and do not adjust. This was a very disappointing stay. If we had not paid in full we would have left. ##### Heather H.
