to get started.

Wonderful minimal decor. Super comfy bed and pillows. And NO TELEVISION! I love it. Thank you for a the wonderful stay and the beautiful starry skies.

Terri, United States of America

a lovely campfire was waiting for us on arrival next to the reception desk. very quiet and relaxing stay, the bed was amazing. one of the best motels I've ever been to for star-gazing.

Christian, United Kingdom

This is the ONLY accommodation in the area. We were there to see the Sunday band at Pappy and Harriet's next door and we didnt want to drive home after dark to Palm Springs. Friendly check in. Room was clean. Nice towels, firm bed, upscale toiletries. Has a small fridge. They supply bottled water.

Maggie, United States of America

Rooms were gorgeous in a minimalist kind of way. Just the right touches, and no TVs or extraneous technology to be distracted with. Appreciated the canteen with coffee and tea service all day.

Rachel, United States of America

This place is a unique combination of Spartan elements (no t.v., no phone, no coffee in the room) and luxury (nice design, good coffee in a common room, Gilchrist and Soames toiletries, hammocks out back to stargaze). The location is extremely quirky -- in Yucca Valley immediately adjacent to Pioneer Town movie set/artisan shops. I (unexpectedly) was able to do Christmas shopping in the excellent small shops, and we loved our evening at adjacent Pappy and Harriet's Palace roadhouse. We liked the whole package. Really an unusual stop. Also got a great breakfast recommendation from the front desk -- he told us where to go for coffee/vegan/vegetarian (Frontier) and where to go for the locals' favorite (C and S Café). We chose the latter, and although we took a hit on the coffee, oh my heavens the omelets and hash browns were great. (And so were the stars -- great skies).

Lisa, United States of America

It was a very nice motel. The room itself was a bit larger than the average motel, and had wonderful old dark wood décor. There was a huge area in the back to take our dog for a walk, which was very nice. The town has only one restaurant, and the food is excellent.

Daniel, United States of America

Comfortable accommodation at the heart of the town, adjacent to the historic town center and popular Pappy & Harriett’s restaurant.

Cagatay, Turkey

Very cool spot but was staying only to go to Pappy’s and Harriet’s, which wasn’t opened on Wednesday’s. I think most people book here for that so I would note somewhere on booking that p&h’s isn’t opened mon- wed. We would have stayed somewhere else.

Hillary, United States of America

The duvet was one of the most comfiest I’ve ever slept under!

Helen, United States of America

Very serene, proximity to music events is excellent. Staff was excellent! Staff went the whole 9 yards to provide a DVD player and a monitor; great effort! Nice outdoor space for Star gazing

Noisy fan on heating/cooling system. We knew there wasn't a T.V. but no glassware or plastic cups in the bathroom? you had to walk down to the coffee room to get a couple of plastic tumblers. No coffee maker. You got coffee next morning in the same area. Really cold weather outside, so each you left your room to get something you had to put all your putdoor clothes back on.

Having to leave.
What a fabulous place! It was exactly what we expected - not a '5 star' hotel but a five star location! So peaceful and the night sky was amazing. We had a regular visitor to the tree outside our room - a woodpecker. Our room (No.20) was extremely comfortable with ample bedding for those cool desert nights. Hot drinks were available round the clock in the canteen room. It is a four mile drive from the main highway where you will find plenty of stores and eateries.

I had the thermostat at 70 and it would keep turning on and off so shut it off completely when went to bed but woke up freezing in the middle of the night. That’s my only minor complaint. Use body warmth for heat and you should be fine!
I love the rustic appeal of this motel. No TV or phone in the room, just a mini fridge. I was in room 16 and great view of the mountains; no tub just a walk in shower. The farm sink in the bathroom is a nice touch. Bed was firm and very comfortable. Property has free WiFi but it’s spotty, has free coffee in the mornings. Hammock garden outside our room was great! Staff super nice and friendly.

The room is priced on the high side, probably because there's not a lot of competition. My wife and I are both fit, and if the shower were any smaller, we wouldn't have been able to take a shower. I don't believe my mother would have been able to manage that shower. That was the room's only shortcoming.
It was a very nice motel. The room itself was a bit larger than the average motel, and had wonderful old dark wood décor. There was a huge area in the back to take our dog for a walk, which was very nice. The town has only one restaurant, and the food is excellent.

A bit overpriced. Customers are encouraged to sit out in the evenings and watch the stars, etc. Why not make it more appealing by making fire pits in front of each room (or one pit for two rooms, etc. ). Would have welcomed such an opportunity as it was rather chilly in the evenings to just sit with a blanket over you.
Comfortable accommodation at the heart of the town, adjacent to the historic town center and popular Pappy & Harriett’s restaurant.
