  • Comment Text: The house was absolutely wonderful. Very comfortable and homey. The location is just far enough and close enough to all. Loved the walks out to the sculpture across the street. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back again. I highly recommend a stay at this house. Thank you Richard for making our family reunion so pleasant.

  • This was our first time renting a house. After staying at Heim's Rancho Borrego our standards are raised so much that we may not like any other house we rent in the future. Very clean, stylish, comfortable, in convenient location and not to forget affordable compared to other places you will find in the area. Highly recommended.

  • We enjoyed a fantastic stay at Heim's Rancho Borrego! It's a wonderful property and was perfect for the three nights we spent in the area. Brilliant value for money when compared to hotel prices, especially when fully occupied. We wouldn't normally have been able to afford to stay in a property this size but the discount for just using one bedroom was a great advantage. We would definitely stay here again if our travels bring us back in that direction!

  • What a perfect location for seeing everything in this area. The home is modern, clean and COMFY beds. Saw 9 species of birds from the back deck. I hope this home is available next time we visit. Thank you Richard!!

  • An outstanding rental and price that can't be beat. It is the best vacation rental we've ever had and will be our number one choice for availability along with Richard's other home in Borrego Springs on our next trip back. I just hope there is an opening for future visits. A very smooth, easy, and timely transaction dealing with Richard with nothing left unanswered. It was great to get the chance to meet him too and get a tour of his other rental across the street, which also is a fantastic place. The Borrego Springs area speaks for itself but I hope anyone considering a trip here will consider either of his homes. You won't be disappointed. Thanks again, Richard!

  • This is a wonderful house, luxury in the dessert. Even better than it looks in the photos. We came from canada for a week and anyone doing the same should consider this accommodation. Is fully equipped with all mod cons and so much better value than a hotel. The owners are really helpful and easy going. Step out of the front door into the park and out the back door to your own private hot tub. Can't say enough good things about it.

    Just wanted to thank all of you who have stayed here and those of you who have left your comments. I built this house in 2003/4. My wife and I always enjoy spending a few days here when we both have the time. We have no plans to sell this home, so it should be available for many more years as a great getaway place. Hope you enjoy it as much as we have had and come back soon. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are special times out here. Don't for the wildflower season!

  • We had a wonderful 4 nights at this comfy and beautiful home. The quiet was a refuge from the busy city life and the stars were amazing. At night the stars were as if you could touch them. This is a home away from home. A great place to stay. Don't forget to hike places like Slot Canyon and Plum Canyon. The wild flowers were blooming! Can't wait to visit again.

  • My husband and I loved our weekend visit! The house was absolutely gorgeous and comfortable inside; the pictures don’t do it justice. The owners were a pleasure to work with – very friendly and helpful. And the town surpassed our expectations with great people, fun activities, and a relaxed atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back, maybe with a few friends next time. Thanks for a perfect weekend!!
