We are surrounded by hiking trails and share our beautiful canyon with the Friends of the Desert Mountains Education Center where you can learn about the history and geography of our special location. The staff there is always happy to recommend hikes and activities. Please note:THE DESPERADOS ARE RENOVATING!

    My wife set me up here based on positive reviews she found and I can heartily endorse them all. The owners are professional, thorough, friendly, helpful and maintain a clean, attractive inn with delicious food. All this for a very reasonable price and you've got a real winner.

    My husband and I celebrated a wonderful relaxing babymoon. Our stay exceeded our expectations. We loved the fresh squeezed juice, gourmet dinners, cute bathroom, comfy bed, and exceptionally interesting hosts. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! We knew we were staying at the right inn when we walked to our room and felt relaxed immediately by the gardens. We were served French pressed coffee and cookies after a long drive! Worth every penny spent!

    It's the best!

    We read the reviews before we went, and were not disappointed. It's a quiet and cozy place. Beautiful garden and pool area. Wonderful furnishings-enough antiques to give you the feel of another era. The gourmet breakfast is all-out-you may not want to eat until dinner. Great location-old movie star homes surround you. Michael and Wayne make you feel so comfortable, Great Hosts! You'll be glad you went. -Mary-Lynn

    We could never have chosen a better place to celebrate her day(Mother's Day) and my birthday on that same day! What a special occasion it was because we spent that precious weekend with the best hosts(Michael and Wayne and their beloved Dolly), the best food, the best location and the best view - so much so that we look forward to going back there this year - my dearest friend and I only say to each other, "I CAN HARDLY WAIT!"

    big rooms and fab food

    If you get a chance to have the Huevos Waynecheros don't pass it by. It's the yummiest. The Back yard view is beautiful and the Innkeepers are very nice.
