Loved the setting. Staff super-nice. Stand-up glamping tent very clean. The only downside was that the walls of the tent were loud as they shifted in the wind, keeping me awake for a while.

This was simply a minimally supplied tent on a concrete slab -- certainly not glamping.

Great stop over

This place is very cute and the staff is very friendly and helped us navigate some night time star gazing and next day activities. The room was small and just about all 2 people need for a quick stop after a long hard day. The resturant onsite offered some nice dinner and breakfast options and a surprising amount of craft beer for purchase. Night time stargazing was exceptional.

“Rustic” comfortable stay.

Stayed in a cabin which, although small, was perfectly adequate & comfortable. It was located near a small man-made stream with lush vegetation: a real birding hotspot. Nearby restaurant/bar was good and another plus, and the location was great for attractions in and near the west side of Death Valley.

We had a wonderful 1 night stay here with our dog! Super no-frills basic spot but just what we needed for a non-camping and dog-friendly option while exploring Death Valley. Restaurant was great (we enjoyed dinner and breakfast), lovely setting, and amazing stargazing at night. We would happily return.
