The cabin is located a few miles away from town, on a one acre parcel surrounded by a 13 acre ranch. This is a perfect location for star gazing and on a usually clear night, the Milky Way is visible!

Old Borego Homestead Retreat

My husband and I, along with our pug enjoyed a comfortable, quiet few days at this perfectly located historic homestead. So well-equipped and lovingly cared for, we will definitely be back--in warmer evening weather with our telescope!

The loft isn’t suitable for older adults or likely young children. It’s a super quiet location, yet close to town. It’s rustic but comfortable.

A fabulous experience

This is a wonderful spot. The night skies are incredible, the sunrises and sunsets too. Our party enjoys the afternoons on the porch and staring into the distance at the mountain ranges. The cabin is delightfully comfortable, very smart set up.

Loved this place

Very nice refurbished property is out of the way amid remnants of once-upon-a-time residents of Borrego Valley. Off the beaten track.Rabbits, roadrunners,lizards. Property management very supportive. If you are not comfortable driving a short distance on bumpy dirt roads,this is not for you. Absolutely loved our stay and hopefully will make a return visit.

A true gem!

Our stay at this desert cabin was amazing. The space was tidy, comfortable, and had all the things we needed... plus more! The location was great for a quiet getaway and the sunrise views and stargazing were stunning. The host was helpful and quick with communication. The AC worked great, the laundry on-site was great, and the internet was fast. We'd love to come back!

Rustic & Charming

We are frequent visitors to the area, have camped and stayed in numerous rentals. Neil's place is is cozy, rustic and charming! Pictures are accurate, neighborhood quiet. during our weekend stay there was virtually no traffic, barely heard neighbors doing some outdoor work one afternoon, felt very private. front porch and back patio offer additional options for relaxing, enjoying meals, watching bunnies and birds scurrying around. Convenient location for area trails, parks and activities. We didn't use the loft, but would caution that it's not for young children, that's not a negative mark, just a point for families with small children to consider. Loft access will require kids that can navigate a ladder and loft with a very low rail. We also enjoyed the books on local history: give yourself some downtime while you are there, you will notice little extras that add to the charm. We'll be back ~

Absolutely great! Would come again!

My family spent almost 10 days at this property during Christmas. It was a great time and such an amazing place. Everything you could need was provided and then some! Host was very quick to respond to any questions and cabin was nicely prepared for us and super clean! Shower is awesome! Loft sleeping was great for kids and heating worked incredibly well. The area is super interesting to explore around, and great for evening walks with the pooch! Also huge plus is that it is a close location to many things to do, if you are into hiking, star gazing, riding motorcycles or going off road, so much to do and also have tranquility at night! Will definitely visit again, thanks so much for great experience!

Comfortable and relaxing

Probably the best VRBO/AirB&B I have ever stayed in! The property is in an interesting, historic location. The house is very comfortable and super, well equipped with a very workable kitchen and a super-good outdoor grill. The interior is very nicely done and comfortable. There are decks on the back and front of the house, allowing us to hang out and enjoy different perspectives. The property is not close to others, so there is plenty of privacy. When I contacted the owner with a question, he called back in about 5 minutes. All was good!

Perfect and unique

This house is one-of-a-kind gem in Borrego Springs! great location, a lot of character and I love that it was a historical homestead, and that it is surrounded by nature. The host was helpful and very kind. We had a great time exploring the park using this as our home base. Also star gazing right out side of the house was amazing! Thank you Neil!

Peaceful setting in the desert

My partner and I (and our dog) had a great month-long stay at this newly revamped ranch in the middle of the desert. We were there for a partially working vacation and the place suited us very well, as could work out on the front porch in the mornings and explore the nearby canyons in the afternoon. The house has all of the essentials (including a good internet connection) and is very comfortable for a couple. The place is just a few miles outside of town, so grocery shopping is convenient, but you are off the beaten path. It is a great location for star gazing. Overall, it is a great base camp for exploring the Anza-Borrego desert.
