Nothing but five stars from me. Upon arrival we discovered that I had accidentally canceled my reservation for that night and even though they were very full and very busy, they figured out a way to accommodate me . Von and Alexandra (I hope I’m getting those names right but you know who you are) remained friendly and gracious, even though it was my mistake. But even without all that… the place was amazing and peaceful and luxurious without being stuffy and overpriced.

Room was good. The staff were excellent. We would not return here for a special occasion weekend. It was disappointing that the facility offered a day pass. When we booked it was under the understanding that the place only had 6 rooms. We were under the impression that would be 12-15 people on the premises. Not so, we ended up with a group of young people and a barking dog on our second day We make the trip to Desert Hot Springs every year. The staff were a 10/10. Loved the place. We went there thinking we were guaranteed peace and quiet with a very limited number of guests.- not so

Disappointed that we couldn’t use the sauna. A tree is in front of the door. It would not open all the way. Our back patio was completely missed at clean up. Broken tree, two broken branches blocking our door. Broken lamps on the ground. Broken chair arm rest. Also, more signage is needed QUIET ZONE. Two day pass ladies came in on our last day and were sooooo loud. Talking, and phone usage. Ridiculous.

The property was cute, unique, and had a boutique feel. The only problem was that they allow day-use guests and so the pool you thought you were going to share with just a handful of guests at this small boutique hotel gets filled with people during the day. We got back from our hike ready to cool off only to find there wasnt a single lounge chair available and this continued until 5pm. So much for our relaxing weekend by the pool!

This place has a very "silent pool party at my rich friend's house" vibe. Because it's so small, it's an extremely intimate space, which can make interacting with fellow travelers pleasant or awkward--truly a case-by-case experience. When we went, there were two pools available, they were lovely, as promised. The place seems to be a little bit understaffed, however--it was hard to get towels replaced, and there never seemed to be enough breakfast foods for the number of people staying, which seemed odd. The rooms were also curiously furnished, with a little bit less of everything than you might expect (we only had two sleeping pillows, which seemed weird). In number 2, where we stayed, there was no overhead light and nothing that could pass for a reading lamp, so at night we had to rely on the light from the kitchenette and two very dim basket lamps when we wanted to read at night.

A Tranquil Getaway

While the Good House may not be everyone's cup of tea, for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, it is an ideal location. The staff is very friendly and attentive, and the grounds are an oasis of calm and beauty. The Good House is an intimate environment where you can really connect with your neighbors over a delicious breakfast. The warm pool and even warmer tub feature the best water in the world. Bring a good book and really unplug. The rooms are basic and charmingly rustic, so if you are looking for 5-Star accommodation, look elsewhere. That said, there's little reason to be in your room beyond sleep time. There are plenty of shady outdoor spots to catch a quiet nap in a lounge chair or hammock. The sauna is top-notch. Except for breakfast, there is no food service on premises, and local options are limited. Plan accordingly. All in all, if you really are craving rest, relaxation and a no-fuss vibe, the Good House is your place.
