The Private Mountain Guesthouse was absolutely perfect for our little escape! The entire place (inside and out) was in pristine condition to say the least. I would say that if we were ever to journey to the area again, we would absolutely stay here!Kristen was a joy to communicate with about every and any little thing. She is on top of her property and it shows. My wife loved all the little decorations, stating that it has a woman's touch. You can completely see it in the details! The pride in this property shines brightly throughout. The beautiful landscape, the ever-so dark nights, and the quiet sounds of the desert abound at this sanctuary. We will remember this always!

Kris Is a great host, Super hospitable and helpful. The property is clean, quiet, and well managed, Everything was perfect for my stay.10 out of 10 Would stay here again.
It was a beautiful tucked away place, cant see ppl, or traffic or neighbors. Great get away for anyone even us hunters!!! Not to far off the main highway is a plus too!!! Washer and dryer to take care of your own things, clean and tidy. Had seasonal decor outside to still feel the season. Perfect for us on a 5 day stay. Host was quick to answer any and all questions we had!!!

Thank you Jerome and thank you for going above and beyond taking care of the house!
Lovely space with all the modern amenities including a sauna, wide screen TV with multiple channels and outdoor barbeque. Meticulously maintained. If you're looking for a place apart to enjoy some quiet time, this is the place for you.
