  We had a wonderful time at this home. The owner bent over backwards to provide us with everything that we needed to make our stay most comfortable. The house is a great layout. We would definitely come back and stay at this house again. Thank you!

  My family & I stayed 5 days & 4 nights at this house & it was exactly what were were looking for. The listing was very accurate in the portrayal of the property as well as the photos. It was very clean and orderly. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in this area. My family & I stayed here and traveled into San Diego during our trip. It was a 2 hr trip, but it was a very beautiful drive. Thank you again for the wonderful house!

  We truly enjoyed our visit to Borrego Springs.Our family had a wonderful time together in this lovely home. The beautiful views and high ceilings in the Great Room added to the comfort of our stay. The views of the stars and listening to my grandson,sons and husband playing music around the campfire while enjoying the jacuzzi will always be a treasured memory. We are so glad and thankful we stayed at "The Ranch". Sincerely, Tom and Robin and Family Feb.2012

  This is a lovely home, and we really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is fully equipped, the bedrooms comfortable, the main room spacious and with lovely views from all windows. The hot tub is a nice luxury. In the instructions, perhaps the owner could indicate that the wireless router is in the 3rd bedroom; it had been unplugged and it took us until the last day to find it and plug it back in again!

  We enjoyed spending X-mas at the Ranch with 5 adults and two children. The house is nicer than depicted in the pictures. The design is open and light. We had lovely views from the great room. It was clean and well equipped and location close enough to town for the convenience of dinner out but far enough away so it felt very quiet and "away from it all". We enjoyed roasting marshmallows outside and watching the stars from the hot tub. We also liked the large family table. Richard was very helpful and responsive when we had questions. It was a wonderful place & great experience.

• A good choice for Anza Borrego

  We would recommend WindGodBird as a place to stay while visiting Anza Borrego. The location a bit outside of town allows for sweeping views, and the house is well situated and laid out to take advantage of them. It's also convenient as a starting point to explore the park in all directions. Rooms are spacious and everything is nice and clean. Interior design is very pleasing. For birders, the visitor center was an excellent spot for migrant warblers and orioles in late April. Popular as Palm Canyon is, it was the one place we saw desert bighorn sheep (it helped to have very good binoculars). We failed to find a restaurant that we really liked, but we didn't really care. It's the desert: Pack a windbreaker and a hat that will stay on your head.

  Spacious, with high ceilings and a natural, desert-dwelling feel. The hot tub at sun-up made it like an oasis, with birds calling and native landscaping in bloom when we visited in April. Well maintained, clean and well equipped, comfortably furnished in a style appropriate for the western desert. Ready access to town as well as a rural bike ride or just a walk across the landscape.

  Owner response: So glad you enjoyed our desert house.

  I've stayed in many VRBO houses and this one is certainly near the top of the list. It was clean, comfortable, very well equipped, well located, and quiet. The VRBO listing was very accurate. An initial problem with the internet were rapidly solved when the owner called a neighbor and asked that the wireless router be rebooted. We had a great time at Anza Borrego and will definitely try to stay here next time we go to Anza Borrego.

  We stayed at Richard's property for the last two weeks of February. The house is comfortable, clean, and accurately reflects the photos. Beds and bathrooms are spacious and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is very well equipped and the appliances are high quality. Richard was helpful and answered all my questions. There are many reasons to visit Borrego Springs, but the number one reason is the desert. Most of the windows face east and west--desert light radiates into the home. Desert landscaping helps make the home one with its surroundings. Antelope squirrels, desert bunnies, and small lizards made regular appearances. White crowned sparrows, verdin, house finch, common raven and cactus wrens made daily visits. Costa's hummingbirds zipped in and out around the patio. One morning a great egret sat atop the garage! The house is a perfect base for exploring the park.

  Owner response: I couldn't have said it any better. Thank you for this kind review.
