Quiet, beautiful property. Rooms are very comfortable and beautiful with great views, staff is responsive when needed. Lovely shared space with hot tub, pool and outdoor fireplaces and seating areas to enjoy the stars or dine with take out. This is my second time here and I will definitely be returning.

Gorgeous

This is easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed. We stayed in the presidential. Huge tub, huge room, even bigger view. The woman who owns the property was so friendly. She left fresh bottles of water for us (not bottled crap). It was so good. There’s a gorgeous pool and hot tub!! I can’t stress enough the views on this stucco paradise.

We booked the guest house for 4th of July weekend. We didn't want to leave! My husband and I had one bedroom and my sister had the other. The grounds are beautiful, the setting is so nice and quiet. The guest house exceeded our expectations. The kitchen is fabulous, nice and open to the dining area and living room. The bedrooms are generously sized, the 2 bathrooms are really nice. There is artwork everywhere, as well as coffee and tea, and snacks. We didn't use the pool but it looked very inviting. The patios also looked inviting although we didn't use them because it was monsoon season and things were a little wet. Our host, Yvonne,greeted us on arrival and was super nice and friendly. We will definitely go back!

Good spot

Good spot with things left to be desired. Great art features and interior design. If you are sensitive to smells, this is not the place for you. The inside smells like a campfire and the shower smells a little moldy. The outside has a lot of cactus plants so be careful if bringing a dog. Several other dogs off leash around the property. Had to use a flashlight at night because no exterior lights. It was fine for the few nights that we stayed.
