This place was so relaxing, quaint, and wonderful! My room was perfect with a very comfortable bed, high powered ac, large patio with a hammock and outdoor dining area, a kitchen area with a sink and garbage disposal and small cooking stovetop, and plenty of extra towels, bath robes, and blankets. The mineral pool and hot tub were so relaxing, and the gardening and landscaping created the perfect desert oasis type of environment to relax and soak in. I would definitely recommend visiting this spot to unplug and unwind! This is one of my new favorite weekend getaways. You have to experience it for yourself.

Staff was amazing when I arrived a little early, accommodating with early check in. ….Room however once I opened the Door I was engulfed in a “SMACK” of a fart, or someone cleaned the crib and dropped a duece prior to turning the ambience on YouTube for distraction….. Word to the wise please utlilize staff restrooms while on break, not guest rooms. Thank you had a great stay 🤓 Took about 2-3 hours, but yeah… Have a good day! r/ biff barthalamuah

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

Love this place. Love the grounds, the rooms, and the pool. Minor criticism, Water heater in my room did not work in the evening. There was no Staff on site, Had to do multiple phone calls with an after hours person to arrange maintenance. Maintenance worker showed up almost 2 hours later, did something, but no hot water until the next morning. On-Site Staff would have been helpful.
