Desert relaxation and warmth
The pool and hot tub were our favorite part of the stay. It was very relaxing and refreshing. We enjoyed nature in the backyard. Our host was very attentive and easy to communicate with.

Extremely quiet neighborhood. Amazing geothermal hot tub and pool. House fully furnished with everything you might need. Property manager very easy to communicate with. I had a very pleasant, relaxing stay. Be sure to check out Cabot's Pueblo.

Artistic and worldly atmosphere with your own personal mineral spa and pool make this a wonderful place to relax and revive. Geralyn is an excellent and very accommodating host. Wish we would have booked a longer stay.

Desert Hot Springs House with Pool & Spa
This home was supposed to be self-check-in with door code to enter, however, the owner was inside the house and opened it for my husband; she then spent half-hour showing him around the place then left, so we could be alone but came back five minutes later to shout into the front door that our van door was open, scared me to jump! The "boho chic" was not chic and bookshelves, "art" hanging from the ceiling, bathroom rug all dirty-dusty as well as back patio floor. The entire interior of house needs painting badly. The old bathtub showerhead barely dripped water. Next surprise came second night when we got in the spa it was disappointing cold, so hubby called owner who said to shut it off and it would be looked at by a neighbor the next morning. When we received a text from her the next morning, she said she was coming back to check on things and would be staying in the "adjacent" property which turned out to be a locked bedroom next to the kitchen in the rental house. After receiving that news we then told her we were leaving and had to collect all our things to drive back to Phoenix. There went our tranquil few days away. The owner nicely refunded part of our stay. This place could be a really welcoming rental but should not be until it has been thoroughly improved and the owner knows the rules of VRBO.

Janice, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on your stay. We truly value all comments as we strive to provide our guests with the perfect environment for rest and relaxation. Regarding the informative tour you mentioned, our records show that there was an agreement via text the day before your stay to conduct a brief tour due to the unique features of our property. Typically, this tour lasts about 15 minutes, although it may extend by an extra 5 minutes should guests have more questions.We also wanted to mention that the owner attempted to contact you about your van's door being left open, but there was no response. After waiting for a short while, she approached the house to inform you directly, ensuring your belongings' security. We always aim to communicate with our guests in a manner that's both professional and respectful. If our tone seemed off or came across as too stern, we sincerely apologize. We assure you that our intention is to maintain a calm and gentle approach in all our interactions.On the note of dust within the home, it's crucial for the sliding patio and front doors to be promptly closed to prevent dust from entering, especially during unexpected mini wind gusts. Please be assured, the interior has been recently maintained with fresh paint and thorough cleaning.The shower head installed complies with California's water conservation regulations, part of our commitment to sustainability. Regarding the spa issue you encountered, it was addressed the following morning by a skilled neighbor to minimize any inconvenience.The offer for the owner to stay in the sound-proof studio with a private entrance was made with your comfort and assistance in mind, though we understand you declined and chose to leave unexpectedly, leaving the front door unlocked. We're relieved to report there were no subsequent issues from this.We're grateful for the opportunity to host hundreds of satisfied guests over the past 3.5 years, many of whom return to stay with us again. We wish you all the best in your future travels and are here to ensure a more seamless and enjoyable experience for all our guests.

Loved the house and especially the backyard with the hot tub and pool Very comfortable and fun to stay there. And they were dog friendly too! We may stay there again and would encourage others with a well-behaved dog to stay there.

The most relaxing and healing three days of my life!
Thank you Geralyn for this perfectly quiet, and healing retreat! My husband, little dog Marvin, and I couldn't have been more pleased! The pool and hot tub were just wonderful! For the fist time in over three years (when I was in a horrible accident) I was pain free :) When we weren't outside, your home felt like a museum. Finding ourselves absorbing the beauty as the birds sang to us from your backyard... I have already booked another stay in a couple of months, and hope to make this my "go-to for" healing my body, and quieting my mind! With Gratitude, Heidi Hening

Quiet Neighborhood and Private
Lots of art and eclectic furnishings. Not as comfortable as we would have hoped. Pretty crowded overall but interesting. A few glass shards in the family room and black hairs in the shower area. Didn’t feel clean in the beginning. Geralyn was delightful when showing us the property when we arrived. First time I’ve ever had to remove linens and wash and return dishes before leaving and still charged cleaning fee.

Shared from the homeowner: "Greetings Matthew! My ultimate goal is for my guests to be very satisfied with their stay. I did not hear of any concerns from you during your trip or else I would have promptly responded to resolve any issues. My cleaning crew cleans the home thoroughly so any glass shards would have been removed and brought to my attention ahead of check-in. There certainly should not have been hairs in the shower but as a reassurance, I will instruct my cleaning crew to be more vigilant during future cleaning. Removing linens and returning dishes to the cabinet upon final departure is typical for the vacation rental industry. However, as stated in the Welcome Book, guests have the option to leave their used dishes in the dishwasher before leaving. Thanks for your review!

Soothing Waters Eclectic Artsy Home
Geralyn is truly the most gracious host. Not only was the communication clear and thoughtful, she is always upbeat and positive and makes any tiny hiccup resolved quickly and with a positive attitude. The house is extremely quirky and artistic! It’s so fun to see all the different books and artifacts that have been assembled to make this a unique retreat. The absolute highlight and without a doubt reason to stay here is the amazing water in the swimming pool/jacuzzi. It is truly healing. Don’t miss an opportunity to walk just a half a block to the Cabot museum. They also have a fun little gift store. We brought a lot of groceries with us and enjoyed using the fully stocked kitchen that had every possible utensil and tool that one could ever need! The grocery store in town is not the greatest, so would suggest you plan on bringing those special things that you have to eat because you may not find them in this neck of the woods. It was extremely quiet and peaceful during the day and night, and the stars and the views go on forever. Cannot recommend this relaxing home enough!

Desert Paradise
Our hostess, Geralyn takes the utmost pride in her property and it is well deserved. She was a gracious and generous host who was available for any questions and accommodating when our check-in time varied from our original plans. Her description and pictures of the place are accurate and only begin to capture the magic of the area. We had a wonderful stay!

Private Geothermal Spa
This was a wonderful, rejuvenating experience. The spa is wonderful, you can use it from 10-10. With a pool and spa like this, nothing else really matters but the bamboo bed is great. The solar lights at night in the yard with the beautiful stars above are so amazing. Swimming in the warm pool at night with the lights on is dazzling with the light shimmers on the shrubs. This was the best spa experience I have ever had and we got to bring our dogs!

Owner's Response: "Rochelle, I'm so glad you had an exceptional experience. To clarify, the pool and spa are available 24/7 for guests, however, there are 10 pm-10 am 'quiet/whisper hours' out of respect for the neighborhood."
