The whole experience was wonderful. It truly was an escape. You could hear yourself think and breathe. Seeing the night sky, hearing the coyotes in the distance to seeing the humming birds float by. Sitting in the hot tub and soaking up the desert sun.The home was well appointed with all your needs. Just stock up the fridge and forget about your troubles. What can we say but ahh!!!!

Cute little secluded place however the pictures are outdated. While the house felt clean, it could definitely use a deep cleaning like washing walls, curtains, etc. there was a very strong odor when we arrived. There are no cleaning supplies available but they do provide soap, sponge, etc. There is only one game for any sort of entertainment so make sure you bring a book, Bluetooth speaker, cards, something to do. As mentioned, there is a lot of rusty metal around the yard so be aware if you have kids. There isn’t much for outdoor furniture and most of what’s there is broken, bring activities for the kids. The porch is great for meals and watching the sunrise!

We absolutely loved this place! The view of the night sky from the hot tub is breath-taking with no light pollution because of how remote we were. We had plenty of space and everything we needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, too!

The Desert house is incredibly charming, and the communication and advice from the host made our family's stay all more comforting. The unobstucted mountain view from the living room was like living in a dream. Definitely follow the host's instructions when getting there, the last 2 miles of dirt road are well maintained, don't try to follow google maps which can suggest roads not yet built. Once there, it's a quiet calm paradise away from busy cities.

Off the beaten path for sure, but very entertaining for the kids. Wi-fi would be nice but it allowed us to play some games with the kids and just hang out. The hot tub under the stars is awesome. A pair of scissors in the kitchen could help with some food prep. Lastly, Pioneertown was very cool, but the swap meet is a thing of the past. All we got were strange looks driving up to the gate! HaUpdates to you itinerary ideas would be good.

Beautiful desert getaway
Beautiful space, comfy mattresses, and perfect getaway to disconnect. There are no blackout curtains so bring eye masks. Two of three of the bed frames were broken and I think the housing company could have been better with their customer service regarding that issue.

Great experience!
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at That Desert House. They had beautiful decor, thoughtful supplies (coffee, filters, and a water filter pitcher as well as ice cube trays. It was located out in the desert which was so freeing, wild, and beautiful. The hot tub was AWESOME. The house was mostly clean (no dishwasher so the dishes are washed by the guests and apparently not check because there were a few dirty ones in the drawer). They could really use a new living room rug for that was pretty filthy looking and feeling however in general everything was great. There are two bathrooms in the back shower did not get hot so we just used the one main one. The water pressure was so so but it could have been worse. The rental company did not have a way to text them with concerns, just call, so we never really contacted them with our concerns. It was fine. The washer and dryer was really nice too. The house is off a dirt road but very doable for any car.

A quiet and bare bones vacation rental
The property was very clean and beautifully quiet. The sunrises and sunsets are amazing and unobstructed. We were a bit disappointed in the layout (the primary bedroom required a walk through the living area and kitchen to reach a shared bathroom, as example) and the outdoor seating wasn't very comfortable. Perhaps better to spend time in this isolated location as a couple rather than with friends.

Cutest Remote Desert Getaway
This was an amazing place to stay for me and 3 of my girlfriends. Remote location (far from other neighbors), A/C was great, place was clean, check-in was easy.
- Quick responses from the managers.
- Beware of bugs (large and small) that may fly or crawl in at night. None of us were bit or stung, and it made things entertaining haha.
- Be sure to download the provided guide book and check-in instructions before your arrival. There are different directions on the check-in instructions and Google Maps will guide you through a different route with sandy roads that may require 4WD.
- As the description states, there's no wifi, and the service is spotty in general.
Would totally stay here again!

Perfect stay!
Wow! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. My partner and I stayed for a week and definitely did not want to leave. The table on the patio is perfect for an early morning coffee and cool breezy dinners. It’s clean and comfortable. I loved that it was not right in town but we could drive 10 minutes and be near the park, all the shops, and restaurants.
Thanks for everything!
