We were unable to book either of the two beautiful VRBOs that we enjoyed in late May 2017, so took a chance at Desert Gardens in late September 2017. It was a mistake!
We were largely unable to relax in this place and found ourselves avoiding it. There was a large nondescript yard graced by 4 mature cottonwoods and a maintained hot tub, decent bed and nice kitchen table which we appreciated. However, this place otherwise felt like a hunting cabin! It had several ant traps, sported an antique toilet brush and plunger in the 4x4 ft bathroom, exposed power strips, no decor to speak of and otherwise contained the cheapest things that money can buy. Finishes and furniture were hodgepodge, baseboards dirty, the bedroom felt like a cell per it's tiny window with a view of the cinder block wall ~18 inches away. No top sheet on second bed. Guest were asked to wash dishes, but there was no dish drying rack or dishwasher. and glasses were dirty. We used our camping dishes, thank you. Would not stay here again, nor recommend it to anyone. We felt very ripped off.
