Stayed during mid-March
Stayed during mid-March. The property is excellently furnished with all the amenities. It was very clean and has great views of the mountains. The hammocks are great for a nap after lunch. The location near the park and Yucca Valley town is great, but still feels somewhat secluded. Be prepared to drive on dirt roads to get there.
