Stayed a weekend, the property was nicely remodeled with upscale fixtures and furnishings, the kitchen has everthing you could possibly need. We spent our days on the back patio watching the wild life (lizards, quails, squirrels, birds) and our evenings by the fire pit gazing at the stars. The host provided great instructions on how to get there as well as everything you needed to know about the home itself. I couldn't be more pleased with our stay.

The dark sky house may be the best rental house I have ever experienced. Thank you! It’s location is absolutely stunning. The house was spotless and had everything that we could possibly need. I so appreciate this non toxic home. So many rentals don’t live up to their pictures. This one exceeded every expectation. From the interior design to the cookware to the custom printed books on the stars I just can’t thank you enough. What a joy of a place to stay and I’d love to come back! 5 stars all around!

This was a great home! We will be back! There is dirt roads to the house but jot a big deal! We enjoyed the location of the home and the amenities!

This is a very special place. Nothing is lacking in terms of amenities. If you want a quiet, beautiful location that’s still close to everything the outdoors has to offer, this is it. And as good as all of that is, the best part is the interaction and delivery of great service by the owner. Highly recommend.
