Pretty terrible. This is what I get for trying to save money. Baseboards were disgusting, rug had stains, couches and chairs had stains, shower and shower door had hair and dirt. Sink was dirty. Pretty bad area that did not feel safe, and the stargazing deck did not look safe enough to go up. When I tried to talk to the owner and get a refund, I got no response. We ended up staying at Alpine Bed and Breakfast instead. Older reviews make it seem like this place used to be cleaner and nicer. I would not stay here unless they make some drastic changes and do a deep clean. Also, I got no refund or response to my concerns. Very disappointed.
Property over all was not bad, but needed a bit of TLC and to be tidied up a bit better.

Cactus Cabin is in need of a thorough deep cleaning, home is disgusting. Many stains on the couch, big stain on blue chair, I am not sure if unit was swept as dirt behind the door, when I took a shower last night the water was not draining so when I open up the long white drain cover it was disgusting, the reason the water was not draining is because hair was clogging the drain plus a bug, plus other nasty things just nasty. I don't think the shower doors have ever been cleaned and the dirt in the corner of the showers and the baseboards are disgusting, numerous cracks and broken tiles in the bathroom. Bath mat disgusting and stained.
Cute and cozy. Unassuming from the outside, but really cozy on the inside. Comfy bed! excellent AC. The deck was really awesome but couldn't use for long due to the winds.

I loved the view from this home. It was so peaceful and quiet. Even got to enjoy some wildlife crossing.
Excellent communication from the host. It’s the perfect size with lots of amenities provided! I will be staying there again in the future!

Small casita
This was our second stay with this owner. We have been happy with both visits. The toilet was running when we arrived but the owner had someone come immediately and the problem was repaired before we returned from dinner. The casita is nice sized for the two of us. We would stay there again.

My needs were well met.
The place was reasonably clean. Nobody bothered me. The bed was comfortable. There was no negative smell. I did not see any signs of insect or rodent infestation. The fridge and heating/ac unit worked well.The only reason I wouldn't stay there again is because it's further from the park than I realized.Otherwise, for the money, I could not ask for more.

very comfortable and clean
The house is small, but it was perfectly adequate for the two of us; just what we needed. It was clean; the kitchen was furnished with a good coffeemaker, microwave and refrigerator, as well as cutlery and dishes. Very comfortable; I slept better there than at home. communication was very good with the owner. It's a bit tricky to find so watch the house numbers. The night sky here was amazing. Would love to go back,,.
Someone had stayed and no one cleaned up afterwards. Tried to call the hostest and left several messages and they never returned my call. Had to get another hotel for the night. Tried to call Expedia and they have yet to call me back wothout putting me back on hold for over an hour. Had to hang up. Not happy!!!!!

Great location to star gaze and communicate
Nothing negative to express. Even though the TV was out of order, didn't need it when you have good company and a view of the beautiful night sky. The wifi worked perfectly so we were able to listen to our music of choice. In final, we will be planning a future stay.
This tiny dwelling was exactly what we needed. Our children play football at the local university, and we drove into Alpine to watch the game and hang out. This small cabin was laid out well and quite comfortable. The bedding smelled freshly washed, and the furniture was inviting. We will definitely continue to book this cabin for future trips.
