Great visit

I've stayed at this location before in one of the small cabins. This time, it was such a lovely time of year that I just used one of the tents. The tent was much better than I expected. There was a memory foam mattress on a low platform bed instead of the cot showing in the photo.

Rustic is putting it gently

The place is quiet and the scenery is beautiful, but the rooms are badly in need of repair and maintenance. Windows didn't work, no mirror in the bathroom, the room was full of cobwebs, light bulbs were burned out, etc.... also an animal was living in the walls or eaves and made noise all night. You might as well stay in a tent!

Ehh

No tv or fridge in premium cabins. Very small room, barely space for luggage. Floor was filthy…used a towel to wipe it down and it was black. Lots of flies in room(space under AC they were clearly getting in) and ants in the sink. WiFi only right in store/on porch of it. Convenient location for Death Valley and friendly staff but not quite as advertised. Very soft bed.

“Rustic” comfortable stay.

Stayed in a cabin which, although small, was perfectly adequate & comfortable. It was located near a small man-made stream with lush vegetation: a real birding hotspot. Nearby restaurant/bar was good and another plus, and the location was great for attractions in and near the west side of Death Valley.

Advertised with EV charge port, but have 1 broken charge port. Nearest EV charging station at least one hour driving from here. Wifi not working in room, you have to walk to restaurant nearby about 100 ft. When We check in, they told us hair dryer or electric kettle should not be used that they might blow the circuits because electricity are run by backup generator.

We had a glamping tent, which was great since we don't have camping gear. Blankets and bedding provided. Restaurant across the street was great as was the guy who checked us in. Tent was noisy due to the wind but other than that, we had a great stay.

An oasis of life in the middle of nowhere, at the entrance to Death Valley. I rented a nice cabin with two beds, full bathroom. The conditioner is provided but i prefer open windows to have fresh night air. I opened the window and enjoyed the night though there where no mosquito net. But i had no problem, pribably in the Death Valkey all mosquitos are dead.

We loved our stay in Death Valley and Panamint Springs was a great option. My only complaint is that when booking they tell you that you are booking a “cabin” to me implies what they show you on the website in the photo. In fact it is not. It is 3 rooms that share walls next to each other. We were not the only ones that felt it was bait and switch.

The "glamping" was what it was for the price. The bathroom was in poor condition and smelled terrible during the heat of the day. But there are very few options in the area, and the owners are very clear that this is a rugged "resort." I suggest showering in the evening or morning when the smell isn't as bad. Wear shoes in the shower and use the hooks to hang your items from rather than on the floor or the chair. The reason for my four stars instead of two or three is the restaurant serves delicious food, has some great beers on tap, and all of the staff are five stars. The stay was manageable.

The room was reasonably clean, check-in was quick and friendly, and the bed (room 5) was comfortable. This is an old ("historic") motel with no microwave, fridge, in-room coffee, or even plastic cups. I realize it's out in the middle of nowhere, but it could be more inviting. The area is all dirt and dusty. The room has AC and a ceiling fan but no thermostat IN the room. The AC ran all night, which is probably fine in the summer. Consequently, it was very cold, and only one thin blanket for the bed. It was a little too rustic for me.
