Great views, comfy house well stocked with essentials.

That area of Borrego Springs can be very windy, which limits outdoor sitting. But great views also from indoors through the large sliders. Convenient location, and easy pleasant walks in the surrounding streets, with clear open long distance views. Very easy access to the town and to Anza-Borrego Dessert State Park hiking in the large surrounding areas.

Desert hikers

We rented this property on short notice when we were cancelled by a Ram’s Hill VRBO. The property was more than we needed, but the location was better for us. We were close enough to town to use our electric bikes for shopping, local dining and activities, and the designated bike trails. The car charger allowed our son to visit us from Oceanside with no worries about where to recharge his car. I loved the artistic elements of the property and the many outdoor spaces to enjoy the sunrise, sunset, and dark skies. Everything we needed for cooking, etc. was readily available. The hosts were very accessible for all questions. All of the beds were very comfortable too! We felt relaxed and at home during one month stay .

Nice House In the Desert

This is a great house in Anza Borrego. It's close to town but feels far away from everything, in a nice developed area. It's set up well for a family.

Great base camp for Borrego Springs

We are a group of five friends traveling together from Minnesota for a 4-week winter break in Palm Springs, Joshua Tree and Borrego Springs. This was our first visit to Borrego Springs and we loved it. The Borrego Springs house was a great base camp for exploring the community and the state park. We liked the open design of the house that made a nice space for hanging out after hiking. We also liked the large kitchen for cooking, which is one of the perks of renting a house. A challenge for us was that the kitchen is really full of the owner's food/supplies, which made the large kitchen feel cramped for our group of five. We also found that the house was not a clean as we had expected based on the prior reviews. The floors and rugs were sandy/gritty, there were cobwebs hanging from the ceilings and in most of the windows, the kitchen stove was really greasy, and there was an overflowing bin of recycling in the kitchen. It didn't take us long to clean it up but weren't expecting to need to.

Peaceful Getaway

If all my trips were so pleasant, I would never go home ! Jayne is an excellent host. She makes you feel like a friend. Since the weather in the Springs will always be somewhat unpredictable but always beautiful, its nice to have a place to ride out a “different”day knowing the next will be just fine for sightseeing.

Sky magic

The home was beautiful, surrounded by incredible mountains, and the sky was so amazing at night. The only stressful part of our stay was that we were not given the code to the lockbox to get in. After being awake for 20 hours, and wind, gusting up to 50 mph, we thought we might have to find another place to stay. However, we were eventually able to contact the owner throughVRBO and get the code.

Best in Borrego - for the third time!

This wonderful house in Borrego Springs is situated in a secluded and quite area. The long-distance views are amazing. As I stated in my first review, you will love all the decorations both inside and outside the house. The owners put their heart into this property, and it shows! Looking forward to my fourth visit.

Spacious home with great views.

This is a well-stocked, comfortably furnished home with views in all directions of the desert and surrounding mountains. It is a quiet spot except for at least one nearby rooster and some other squawking bird, but their disturbances were brief. The owner promised to rewrite instructions for opening the house that were not clear and resulted in difficulty in accessing wifi and one day without hot water.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Manager

Host profile image
I am a retired PUSD high school/middle school teacher in Poway, my husband is a consultant turbo-machinery engineer at Solar Turbines. We grew up in Orange County and now live in San Diego for over 30+ years. We love the outdoor, hiking, biking, splunking, stargazing, and birdwatching. Our children go to school at Columbia University and a high school in Poway.

Why they chose this property

We like Borrego Springs for many reasons. The Estates is a place of quiet, peace, and serenity. Friendly neighbors. You can leave all your busy, hectic schedules and to-do list behind, and reflect / re-energize your battery. We wanted a place for our children to enjoy the great outdoor. Our kids love to watch the stars. You can see the Milky Way on a clear night with your naked eye. Falling stars are a dime a dozen. The moon is awesome to say the least. Many artisans have come and painted the Harvest moon, Super moon, Worm moon, and Lunar Eclipse. We go hiking in the "Slot", Wind caves, Font's Point @ sunrise, and Palm Canyon, rock excavation and /bird watching at Salton's Sea. Borrego is a secret gem of San Diego. In the Spring, the hot pink sand verbena covers the desert floor during superbloom. It is a mecca for flowers and butterfly lovers. The people of Anza are super friendly! Everyone knows your name. The Spring wildflowers dotted our scenery in hues of yellow (brittle bush), pink (prickly pear), orange (ocotillos) and purples (smoke trees) in July. In August, Perseid meteor showers during the night sky. This place is a magical place, a piece of heaven on earth.

What makes this property unique

Our house has vaulted ceiling with special windows so you can see the gazillion stars and Super moon. Stargazing is one of the many perks of our 5 acres property in the Estates. Borrego Springs is one of the International Dark sky of Southern California. The great room is open to the kitchen and dining area with seatings for 10. Our Borrego Dig is equipped top of the line GE Profile stainless steel kitchen appliances, Bosche refrigerator to washer/dryer. We have Keurig coffee maker, drip coffee, tea pots to a wide range of tea/coffee for tea/coffee lovers. We stocked our pantry full for those guests who come in late at night when all the stores/restaurants are closed.

Our place is special because we have bats that come in at dusk eating the insects. Quails track in on the desert sand. Smaller birds come stay in the Palos verde trees Then the owl screech at 2 am letting you know it is time for stargazing. Our neighbor rooster, "Cock adoodle do". This is his way of saying it is time for a star gazing party. Look to the East, you will find the Perseid meteor shower. Look up top, you will find the North Star. The big dipper is to your left and orion belt is to your right. It is so quiet that you can hear your neighbor talking as they walk their dog in the cool morning air. Bicyclists ride by to wave as they head up to Montezuma grade or to the Salton Sea. The next bike race is 6-12-24 at Halloween. The coolest part is the Ocotillo forest. When they are in bloom, the entire horizon is dotted with orange flowers.
