**Welcome to the Dew Drop Inn — a Rare Desert Escape in the Heart of Cuyama Valley**
This clean, modern one-bedroom apartment sits right off Highway 166 in Old Cuyama, offering practical comfort with a rural touch. Whether you're road-tripping, exploring Carrizo Plain, or just looking for a no-fuss landing spot between Bakersfield and the coast, this fully equipped home base delivers everything you need.
It’s part of a fourplex, with your unit having its own private entrance and all the essentials for a short stay or extended visit.
**Inside the Apartment**
* Full kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and cooking basics
* Separate bedroom with queen-sized bed, blackout curtains, and fresh linens
* Private bathroom with shower and clean towels
* Living room with couch, dining area, and extra sleeping space
* Starlink WiFi (up to 354 Mbps download) — ideal for streaming or remote work
* Air conditioning and heating
* Off-street parking directly in front of the unit
* Self check-in with unique keypad entry
* Laundry available upon request for longer stays
**About the Location**
You’re staying in Old Cuyama, about 7 minutes from New Cuyama’s shops, cafes, and gas stations. The property sits directly on Highway 166 — giving you fast access to:
* Carrizo Plain National Monument (hiking, wildflowers, wildlife)
* Ballinger Canyon OHV Area (off-roading and ATV trails)
* Aliso Park Campground (secluded forest escape nearby)
* Condor’s Hope Vineyard and Quail Springs Permaculture Center
* Blue Sky Center and the new L88 Airstrip
Please note: While the location is ideal for road access and travel convenience, this is not a silent or secluded property — **you will hear some highway traffic**, especially during peak driving hours.
**What Guests Love**
* “Sparkling clean, thoughtfully stocked — way better than expected!”
* “A perfect base for Carrizo exploration. Loved the WiFi and kitchen.”
* “Super communicative host and very smooth check-in process.”
* “A rare, comfortable stop in the middle of a beautiful, wild valley.”
* “One of the best value stays we’ve had — remote, but totally worth it.”
**Good to Know**
* Direct access to Highway 166 (expect some road noise)
* Keypad self check-in
* Fully stocked kitchen and essentials provided
* High-speed internet for working or streaming
* Pets and additional guests must be approved in advance
