Great host & Location

Loved my stay here. Very desolate and serene location. The only advice I could give to others, is make sure you have a car that you don’t mind driving on dirt roads with, as the location is off the beaten path.

Une formidable expérience

Nous recherchions un hébergement atypique pour une halte sur la route entre Sequoia et Death Valley et nous avons été servis au-delà de nos espérances. Isolés au milieu du désert mais avec beaucoup de confort, le silence, la beauté du désert, les couleurs du couché et du levé du soleil, le ciel étoilé de la nuit. c'est une expérience qui restera longtemps dans nos mémoires

Amazing Desert Stay!

We (2 adults, 2 kids) wanted to sleep under the desert stars for our first night of our roadtrip and this place delivered! The sky got so dark you could see the Milky Way and once the moon set, i’ve never seen so many stars in my life. Then we got to crawl right into bed! Mark and Chris were very communicative from beginning to end (and after when we forgot something in the cabin lol). If you get the opportunity, ask them about the property and their extensive experience as renters! We got to sleep with the door open and wake up to the cool, crisp morning air and a stunning sunrise over the mountains. It was an unparalleled experience, we’ll probably stay again if we travel out to Death Valley again - which was a convenient hour away!
