This was the third time we visited Eric and Dennis's property. It is well cared for and quiet. We enjoyed the stars at night and the beauty during the daytime by the pool. At dusk, the coyotes would howl and gather for the night's activities. We hope and plan to go again to relax in the desert next time

This was a beautiful place to stay for a month in the desert. The owner was incredibly responsive and helpful, and I cannot say enough about Dennis, the caretaker. He goes above and beyond to make your stay pleasant, and is truly the soul of kindness.
The great things here: wonderful, large kitchen, beautiful bathroom. The issue of water taking a long time to heat was not a big deal. Once it's hot, the water stays hot for a very long time, showers were a highlight! Same for the hot tub, which was always hot and ready to go. Lots of space, huge lot to find some shade, wonderful view of the desert from the pool area. Master bed is very comfortable.
The only not-so-great thing is that I didn't realize the studio is attached to the main house. When our family stayed there for a few days it was great; could open the door and it became a 3 BR, 2 bath place. But when others rent it, not so great. You can literally hear every sound through the door, from TV, to coughing, to bathroom sounds. Outdoor areas are then also communal. Would rent again only if we included the studio in the rental! It may not bother some folks who are immune to sounds, but it's a deal breaker for me. Again, owner and caretaker are the greatest, many thanks to you both.

Eric's house was just wonderful. It was spacious, clean, right at the edge of the desert, with a fully equipped kitchen and a hot tub in perfect working order. We sat in it every night, gazing at the stars. Dennis, a neighbor who is in charge of the house, was extremely kind and helpful. And he is also a great rock guitarist who sometimes plays at Carlee's, so watch out for that. Thanks, Dennis and Eric! We will definitely return.

A True Desert Oasis
The house is clean and inviting.. well done. no complaints or issues there at all.. What was great for us was the location.. Just south of Circle/Downtown and the really well kept garden/grounds/flora.. Was so lush and nice and RELAXING.. we hiked our tails off (my favorite thing to do there) so was nice to come back and take it easy.. attracts a lot of birds (especially humming birds). What a great week we had due to the hospitality of Eric and Dennis.. much obliged..

Excellent Experience
We spent two weeks on the property for our wedding, everything was beautiful! Dennis and Eric made it very nice for us to celebrate with all of our family and friends. My husband, myself and our kids fell in love with the place and didn't want to leave. We can't wait to make Borrego Palms a regular place to be. We will be back soon. Definitely recommend

Exceptional setting
The house is located in a lovely setting. Dennis welcomed us and we also got to meet the owners who came for a short stay. It was nice to be conveniently close to town and yet at the same time enjoyed being able to walk out for hikes directly from the house.

Very nice getaway
Private and clean and homey. A nice place in a beautiful desert setting tucked up against the mountains. Beautiful dark skies at night. Close to the main town and restaurants. In summary perfect.

Peaceful weekend getaway
Our family (w/ 2 kids) greatly enjoyed our stay here in Borrego. The location is fantastic - close to town but feels remote and is very peaceful and quiet. Dennis, the manager, was very accessible and helpful; lives on-site but is separate from the house so it still feels completely private. The pool is too cool to enjoy at this time of year, but the pool patio was still a relaxing place to enjoy, as well as the hot tub. We also enjoyed having a night fire in the fire pit out front - great space to sit, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. Hopefully we'll be back to Borrego again soon and will definitely consider this location for another stay!

Hiking adventures
We enjoyed our home away from home in Boreggo! Just what we wanted to get away from it all and escape into the desert. We hiked everyday and came home to this great house. Beds were very comfortable. We had everything we needed to cook our breakfasts and dinners. Dennis was available to help if needed. We had a fire in the great fire pit on the patio on two of the nights, the stars are so fabulous and the sunrise, beautiful . Also had breakfast outside one morning. I love Boreggo and this location and accommodations for my husband, my brother and I was just what we needed! Love the quiet location! Thanks for a great stay.

Pleasant stay
On site Property Manager, Dennis was extremely attentive to our needs, immediately supplying us with supplies and even went over and above bringing us fire wood after we asked him where to purchase some. Was worried of having him next door, but he was very discreet, quite, but attentive.

Great place to get away
We really enjoyed this house had everything you needed, kitchen had the essentials and the bathroom aswell. The Pool was awesome and definitely needed for the temperature was above 100 degrees. At night you could see the stars which was pretty great you don't get to see that in the city. Dennis the property manager was great and we also got to meet Eric the owner of the property he was very nice, he also recommended places we should visit while out in borrego. I definitely would recommend this home if you are looking to get away from the city and just relax.

Good Night Sky Viewing!
The house is well-stocked, clean and comfortable. They even have a set of good binoculars and a telescope for stepping out the kitchen door and viewing the Milky Way.

Peace and Quiet
We had a wonderful time. Dennis was a perfect host. This is a great place to go when you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Thank you for sharing this quiet and peaceful location with us. We look forward to returning.

The getaway i needed!
We had a great time during our recent stay. At first i was a bit uneasy about the onsite host and the possibility of another family staying in the duplex area but Dennis was extremely helpful and polite and did not invade our privacy at all. He was there when we needed him but otherwise he was out of complete sight. I believe there is a notation of a washer and dryer onsite and while it is, it is mainly for the host, not guests however Dennis did allow us to use it and we are very grateful. i would definitely love to return, the rental was very spacious and comfortable. Remember this is desert area so just have some bug/mosquito spray and sunblock handy and the stay will be so enjoyable. Thank you for the great time!!!

Star-gazing Superbloom Hiking base
Comfortable home just far enough from town for good night sky viewing and close enough to walk. We enjoyed an evening of star gazing from the rooftop with chaise lounges and would have used the telescope if the other nights we were there weren't overcast.
Good to have friendly and responsive Dennis on site!

Winter get-away
The location was perfect for us and so was the house. Dennis was attentive to our needs and showed great hospitality. We appreciated the ample parking area for our pickup and trailer along with room for two motorcycles. It was nice to have the desert mountain backyard to go on walks too. We enjoyed the house and area and would go back

A beautiful place
Really enjoyed the Borrego house--gorgeous xeriscaping and places to hang out outside, comfortable bed, house flush up against the state park, ocotillos starting to bloom, along with California fucshias out at Palm Canyon..
Thank you, Dennis, for helping make our trip so pleasant. Next time, we want to stay at least two weeks!

COMFORTABLE & RELAXING
Roomy home with everything we needed for a last minute get-away to the desert. Convenient location: close to town, small grocery store & a few restaurants. Central to exploring off-road trails & hikes. On-site property manager was helpful, not intrusive at all. Appreciated the outdoor fire pit, nice to watch the sunset & hang out for the evening. Loved all the windows so you don’t get cheated on the landscape. Property felt private. During our stay, the adjoining studio was vacant, obviously that added to the peaceful feeling of being on your own. Could use some upgrades, but the owner & manager were so kind, it felt like staying at a friend’s place, they were responsive & attentive. Can’t complain, overall a good experience.

Great Place To Relax Or Explore
Well laid out property, with enough privacy and openness to take in the views. Right up against the state park, lots of potential for hikes in the backyard. Big courtyard / front yard space to wander through and enjoy camp fires. Home has nice bathroom and master bedroom. Kitchen is well equipped and capable for cooking and large dining table. Large living space to hang out and relax. Pool and hot tub are a nice luxury to indulge it, as well as the platform to view the stars. The host (in nearby studio) was very helpful and gave us as much privacy as we wanted.
Only inconvenience was the hot water took some time to come. So plan accordingly.
Definitely would like to rent again.

Amazing! Perfect family getaway in the desert
We had an absolutely amazing stay at Borrego Palms. The house is larger than I expected, and it was perfect for our family: myself, my husband, our 3 year old daughter, and my mother. The photos seemed to show bunk beds in the second room, but there was a queen (or full) size bed in the smaller bedroom and a queen and twin in the larger room. Kitchen is huge! Lots of space in the living room too. It was pretry cold and windy outside so we spent most of the time indoors but we didn't mind. I'd go back. I'm even considering a trip to Thailand to check out the owners other property :)

Beautiful home and view, has alot of updates that are really nice.
I stayed here with my family of four for a week and we loved it not only is the house beautiful and in a perfect location but this town is a nice laid back place to vacation and/or live. Really words can't describe how much we enjoyed our stay, definitely didn't wanna leave.

Wonderful quiet place
This house was a pleasant surprise to us as we enjoyed the desert out back, the cactus garden out front and the well appointed house amongst the three of us for 2 weeks. The skies were dark at night for star gazing and the out of the way location was quiet and comforting. Dennis, the caretaker was there when we needed him but unobtrusive otherwise. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.

Peaceful and quiet location...except when the attached studio is occupied.
We loved the location and the view. The manager was very friendly and accomodating. The house is comfortable but needs some updates including a hot water heater that does not require running the faucets or shower for several minutes to get hot water. In a geographical area that is in a serious need of water conservation, I feel obligated to pass along. Also, the lighting fixtures were lacking in bulbs and/or sufficient lighting in the kitchen and bathroom. We were fortunate that during most of our stay there was not an occupant renting the attached studio. The only barrier from the bedrooms and the studio is a very thin door with a pretty wide gap, in the hallway. It is locked but the problem was that we could hear their conversations and see movement through the gap. That was somewhat uncomfortable and a deal breaker for us.

Magical Getaway!
Great experience, start to finish. Stayed in town for a conference, and had an enviable private retreat compared to the resort downtown. Excellent communication from Eric and wonderfully unobtrusive assistance from Dennis. Spacious, quiet, relaxing & rejuvenating property close to everything, while camouflaged against the hills. Bottle of wine and fresh made fudge upon arrival were the cherry on top!

Lovely peaceful place
We very much enjoyed staying here. The manager is extremely helpful and friendly. The house is spacious with a nice pool area and hot tub, and is close to the small town of Borrego Springs for access to places to eat and the shops. It also has easy access to the wonderful Anza Borrego desert park. The pool is not heated so the water is too cold to swim in at the time of year we visited (it was winter time). The house is very peaceful. There is an annexe attached so there may be people next door, who will share the pool area. Internet access is OK but it can stop workingfor short periods of time but I understand this is true of all the area, not just the house. If I wanted to be ultra critical I would say the house could do with a little updating (for example the TV is old and two of the outdoor chairs need replacing) but it didn't really bother us. The place was clean and well appointed with large fridge freezer, cooker, microwave and coffee maker. Laundry facilities are available behind the house. (Washer and drier).

Great Experience
This just became my favorite place to stay around Borrego Springs and adjacent deserts. Since two years ago, me and my buddies have been going to this area to reflect and practice photography. This is a very confortable remote home with its own private piece of land and walking distance from the commercial strip and heart of Borrego Springs. It is private but not in a private community which I prefer -making the arrival and departure an easy process. Its land-keeper is also a very nice and welcoming man. We'll be definitely staying here again and I would recommend it to anyone.
