Spectacular property. Room is stylish and comfortable. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and well organized. Nicest owner we ever met! Crystal washing station right in the backyard. Delicious Mexican restaurant that is walking distance. Close to crystal mines. Looking forward to our next trip to Rockhound Boutique Hotel!

blown away with perfection

Style was gorgeous, attention to detail impeccable. Every thing new and clean, most comfortable bed I’ve experienced at any luxury hotel. The soaking tubs and bath robes so comfortable. The concierge service wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for more useful amenities the gas grill, out door fireplace and rock cleaning station were more than appreciated. I would give this place a 210% better than many luxury hotels I’ve stayed.

Our room was beautiful! It was very cozy and clean. The staff were instantly responsive. I really liked the check-in process. I received a text at checkin time explaining how to get in. They also have lots of rock hounding equipment to borrow for using at the nearby crystal mines. There was a delicious Mexican restaurant within walking distance. They even have $1 Taco Tuesday night! I would 💯 percent recommend staying at the Rock Hound Boutique.

Relaxing Stay

This is an adorable, small business motel. The room was perfect for our needs and the garden area to clean rockhound finds was ideal! I would suggest bringing a small coffee maker if you’re not keen on instant coffee or you aren’t a tea person. My friend had to get his coffee fix at the restaurants in town because he’s a snob about instant coffee (haha). I loved the little touches of consideration for room amenities (popcorn, tea setup, cold water in the fridge, etc.). Would make this my go-to for Mt. Ida if they allowed my pup to stay also, but I know there are many pet owners who might not clean up after their doggos very well. Thank you for the lovely accommodations!

The room was very pretty. Nice tub with bath salts. Quiet. Restaurants within walking distance. Comfortable bed. Nice yard. Improvements would be some bubble bath. Drawers for clothing. Something to hang clothes An armoire if there is room or a coat rack would help. Thanks

We loved staying at the Rockhound, it was perfect for everything we needed. My only suggestion would be to add a blackout curtain to block the streetlight across the road. Other than that it was the perfect little getaway!

This was our second stay, and within two weeks of our first stay, at the Rockhound. It was so convenient & enjoyable the first time that we had to get back before the summer ended! My husband & I found tons of gorgeous crystals at the Avatar mine & at Crystal Vista, and the ability to clean them up in the Rockhound’s garden is an amazing amenity. As is the bathroom— the shower & bathtub are the ultimate way to end a day of climbing and mining, as I believe I stated in my last review. Can’t be overstated! The staff are fantastic; they’re gracious and helpful. Overall, we can’t wait till we can get back!
