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 ~

Lovely cabin in old Borego. Loved the night skies and ambience. Friendly folks and great spot for a family group.

Fun location in the old desert town of Borrego. Only a few small old houses lefr on a dirt street. Quiet. No traffic. Coyotes and burros heard at night.inside is up to date. Excellent shower. Good heating system. Kitchen small but well equipped.

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!

I really enjoyed being here. This is a place that is both rustic and has all the amenities that you need to be comfortable. And Neil is great!

Super cute little house. Perfect for me, my husband, and our dog. We had a great, quiet retreat. We'll be back.

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!

We loved our stay. Very clean and cozy. But the location is great. Close to town but feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Perfect cabin in a perfect location.

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!

New feeling - very clean, easy communication, easy check in and check out, quiet, off the beaten path, and great spot from which to enjoy Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Kids loved loft sleeping. Kitchen was well equipped. Loved it!

The renovated cabin located within the site of the original settlement of Borego offers a unique blend of old & new, funky & stylish, exclusivity & authenticity. We liked it so much we already booked to return in 2023.

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.

Excellent in all respects. The owner was very quick to respond, but we didn't have any issues. We enjoyed the stay very much and found it very clean, newly redone, and very conformable.

Love the location.. very quiet! Very clean cute cabin! Definitely will be coming back!! Thank you for being a great host!

A completely rebuilt house with almost all the belles buttons. Feels like new.

Had a wonderful and peaceful time under the stars in this unique historic property in the “spirit town” of Old Borrego. The cabin has history, but it has been upgraded and is well maintained. Very quiet, except for the occasional howling of coyotes. The only neighbors I noticed were some bunny rabbits and they were exceptionally quiet!

This vacation home was property was perfect: it had all the amenities and space we needed, and the location provided a desert magic that we couldn't get anywhere else.
