10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (2 reviews)
"Boutique summarizes this trailer perfectly. It was charming and had so much attention paid to detail. Wonderful amenities, including a spa like bath house- a bath equipped better than most hotels. The covered patio area and deck were a great place to enjoy the view (lavender garden too) and relax. Even a fireplace to warm the chilly nights. What we appreciated so much was the lighting along the deck and around the trailer for both comfort and safety. The owner and manager were both very friendly...

"To say that cactus was big is an understatement. It’s so big it probably charges the owners rent! Very clean and VERY quiet. We saw a lot of stars we normally don’t see. Huge deck allowing morning and evening sun. Nice and relaxing for coffee and wine. We literally did not see another person up there except on the road. It is a birder paradise and the ground squirrels frolicking was a kick. We will be back when visiting grandkids."

Pleasant Inn

Pleasant Inn

6/10 Okay
"We were on the 2nd floor and could hear everyone on 3rd floor in room above ours. I called the front desk to see if they could ask room above us to quiet it down as it was already very late. I was told they couldn't do anything about it. Never stay on bottom floors! I know I'll never stay there again!"
