One of the most memorable VRBO experiences we ever had. The hosts and their Welcome staff (Cindy) some of the most gracious folks you’ll ever have the good fortune to meet. Truly a gem in the desert!!!
A unique, interesting, house. Quiet location, well stocked full kitchen, excellent amenities in general. Very interesting, nice hosts. It has its rustic, hippy side (which we love) but probably not ideal for people looking for a flawless, super refined stay. We loved the place.
This is a wonderfully unique home with character and surprise in every nook and cranny. The high desert light creates a changing landscape inside and out and the screened porch is perfect for an al fresco breakfast. The eclectic kitchen accessories were sufficient for our cooking needs and perfectly matched the house vibe. A great location for exploring the back roads of the nearby hills and mountains.

Thank you. We're glad you enjoyed the Star House and your experience staying here. We will be happy to have you stay here again.
We really enjoyed our too-brief stay - would haves liked to have stayed longer. (Hopefully that can be the next time.)Given the rural setting and the phone and car GPS uncertainties in the area, we really appreciated the manager’s offer to meet us on a main road and guide us in. Very thoughtful.The full-size fridge and fully-supplied kitchen were definite bonuses too.All that, plus an utterly unique casa. Maybe next time we can hear about the back-story of its design and creation.
