About this property

Night Skies in Historic Old Borrego w/ RV Space

  • Visit a piece of history in Old Borego Springs! Yes, that's Borego with one "R" which is how Borrego Springs was founded as a homestead community around 1910. Our cabin is an original 1928 Homestead with all the rustic charm, but completely rebuilt and remodeled with all the modern amenities of 2021.

    This one bedroom cabin with a loft sleeps up to 6, has a full kitchen with stove, oven, microwave, and cookware. The bathroom is remodeled with a large shower.

    The cabin is located a few miles away from town, on a one acre parcel surrounded by a 13 acre ranch. This is a perfect location for star gazing and on a usually clear night, the Milky Way is visible!
    RV parking is available with electric and water hook-ups.

Old Borego Homestead Retreat

The loft isn’t suitable for older adults or likely young children. It’s a super quiet location, yet close to town. It’s rustic but comfortable.

A fabulous experience

This is a wonderful spot. The night skies are incredible, the sunrises and sunsets too. Our party enjoys the afternoons on the porch and staring into the distance at the mountain ranges. The cabin is delightfully comfortable, very smart set up.

Old Borego Gem

We have enjoyed visiting Anza Borrego for years and are particularly delighted when we have a chance to stay at this rental. Dark skies, comfort, seclusion, great views--it has them all. Neil is always a pleasure to deal with as well. Our adult son and his friend preceded us and stayed here a few days as well this time; they were mesmerized by the dark skies. It was great!

I love being out in the desert. Sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair and watching the moon rise in the evening is so relaxing. The interior design of this cute cabin was not expected. It was architecturally, gorgeous.I can imagine staying there much much longer. A cabin had heat pump wall units for both heating and air-conditioning. It’s truly a year around property.

A true gem!

Our stay at this desert cabin was amazing. The space was tidy, comfortable, and had all the things we needed... plus more! The location was great for a quiet getaway and the sunrise views and stargazing were stunning. The host was helpful and quick with communication. The AC worked great, the laundry on-site was great, and the internet was fast. We'd love to come back!

Loved this place

Very nice refurbished property is out of the way amid remnants of once-upon-a-time residents of Borrego Valley. Off the beaten track.Rabbits, roadrunners,lizards. Property management very supportive. If you are not comfortable driving a short distance on bumpy dirt roads,this is not for you. Absolutely loved our stay and hopefully will make a return visit.

Absolutely great! Would come again!

My family spent almost 10 days at this property during Christmas. It was a great time and such an amazing place. Everything you could need was provided and then some! Host was very quick to respond to any questions and cabin was nicely prepared for us and super clean! Shower is awesome! Loft sleeping was great for kids and heating worked incredibly well. The area is super interesting to explore around, and great for evening walks with the pooch! Also huge plus is that it is a close location to many things to do, if you are into hiking, star gazing, riding motorcycles or going off road, so much to do and also have tranquility at night! Will definitely visit again, thanks so much for great experience!

Rustic & Charming

We are frequent visitors to the area, have camped and stayed in numerous rentals. Neil's place is is cozy, rustic and charming! Pictures are accurate, neighborhood quiet. during our weekend stay there was virtually no traffic, barely heard neighbors doing some outdoor work one afternoon, felt very private. front porch and back patio offer additional options for relaxing, enjoying meals, watching bunnies and birds scurrying around. Convenient location for area trails, parks and activities. We didn't use the loft, but would caution that it's not for young children, that's not a negative mark, just a point for families with small children to consider. Loft access will require kids that can navigate a ladder and loft with a very low rail. We also enjoyed the books on local history: give yourself some downtime while you are there, you will notice little extras that add to the charm. We'll be back ~

Comfortable and relaxing

Probably the best VRBO/AirB&B I have ever stayed in! The property is in an interesting, historic location. The house is very comfortable and super, well equipped with a very workable kitchen and a super-good outdoor grill. The interior is very nicely done and comfortable. There are decks on the back and front of the house, allowing us to hang out and enjoy different perspectives. The property is not close to others, so there is plenty of privacy. When I contacted the owner with a question, he called back in about 5 minutes. All was good!
