Beautiful property, so many stars to see including the Milky Way. Property management makes it very easy to get any info needed, and a very easy check out.

A quiet and bare bones vacation rental
The property was very clean and beautifully quiet. The sunrises and sunsets are amazing and unobstructed. We were a bit disappointed in the layout (the primary bedroom required a walk through the living area and kitchen to reach a shared bathroom, as example) and the outdoor seating wasn't very comfortable. Perhaps better to spend time in this isolated location as a couple rather than with friends.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay at That Desert House. They had beautiful decor, thoughtful supplies (coffee, filters, and a water filter pitcher as well as ice cube trays. It was located out in the desert which was so freeing, wild, and beautiful. The hot tub was AWESOME. The house was mostly clean (no dishwasher so the dishes are washed by the guests and apparently not check because there were a few dirty ones in the drawer). They could really use a new living room rug for that was pretty filthy looking and feeling however in general everything was great. There are two bathrooms in the back shower did not get hot so we just used the one main one. The water pressure was so so but it could have been worse. The rental company did not have a way to text them with concerns, just call, so we never really contacted them with our concerns. It was fine. The washer and dryer was really nice too. The house is off a dirt road but very doable for any car.
Off the beaten path for sure, but very entertaining for the kids. Wi-fi would be nice but it allowed us to play some games with the kids and just hang out. The hot tub under the stars is awesome. A pair of scissors in the kitchen could help with some food prep. Lastly, Pioneertown was very cool, but the swap meet is a thing of the past. All we got were strange looks driving up to the gate! HaUpdates to you itinerary ideas would be good.
This place was fantastic! The decor of the house was so cute. Everything was clean and very comfortable. The jacuzzi was great for star gazing. It's far enough to feel remote but still close to all the stores and restaurants you might want. Would definitely come back here to unplug.
Beautiful space, comfy mattresses, and perfect getaway to disconnect. There are no blackout curtains so bring eye masks. Two of three of the bed frames were broken and I think the housing company could have been better with their customer service regarding that issue.
This was my second stay at this place and it was amazing like the other time and I'm gonna book again for my next trip in a few months. So much calm and peace with beautiful night sky and no light pollution is what you get. Strongly recommended.
This property was exactly what we were looking for, remote, and with gorgeous views. It worked perfectly for our family with two small children and I found it to be a great value. Would only suggest updating the listing to reflect no Wifi and adding a few kitchen utensils (measuring cups, sharp knives, etc.)
Wow! We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. My partner and I stayed for a week and definitely did not want to leave. The table on the patio is perfect for an early morning coffee and cool breezy dinners. It’s clean and comfortable. I loved that it was not right in town but we could drive 10 minutes and be near the park, all the shops, and restaurants.
Thanks for everything!
Amazing place in the middle of desert with no neighbor close to you. we arrived late in the evening and once my friends and i stepped in the property, from the very first moment we got the vibe of the place. it was so relaxing with no TV, no WIFI and meditating in absolute silence was exactly what we went for. i'm so happy with my decision to go to this place and strongly recommend this amazing relaxing place to the people who want to escape from city craziness for a while.
This was an amazing place to stay for me and 3 of my girlfriends. Remote location (far from other neighbors), A/C was great, place was clean, check-in was easy.
- Quick responses from the managers.
- Beware of bugs (large and small) that may fly or crawl in at night. None of us were bit or stung, and it made things entertaining haha.
- Be sure to download the provided guide book and check-in instructions before your arrival. There are different directions on the check-in instructions and Google Maps will guide you through a different route with sandy roads that may require 4WD.
- As the description states, there's no wifi, and the service is spotty in general.
Would totally stay here again!
We loved stargazing from the jacuzzi and watching the sunrise from bed through the floor to ceiling windows. Awesome remote location! My only suggestion would be to edit the directions to say the property is 0.6 miles west of Lear on Gemini (instead of .6 miles— we thought it said 6 miles and drove too far before coming back).
We would definitely stay here again.
The place was amazing and in a remote and quaint location. There was some bugs on the floor when we first arrived but it was a quick clean up. The AC could use a tuneup. Overall, everything was great. I would definitely come again.
