Charming 3-bedroom Equestrian farmhouse with WiFi, AC in welcoming Thermal

Charming 3-bedroom Equestrian farmhouse with WiFi, AC in welcoming Thermal

10/10 Excellent
"Clean, comfortable, and very close to the BMW Performance Center. The beds are great, the AC is strong, and the kitchen is fully equipped. Multiple patios give you plenty of space to hang out outside.No negatives with the house itself. Just keep in mind that for restaurants, you either want to go to Kitchen Ten Eleven or be ready for a bit of a drive back north."

The Long Ranch - Sprawling 1 acre Horse Park Hideaway

8/10 Good
"This property was large and roomie. The design was really nice and modern great for a large family to gather together the separate Casita was beautiful and roomy and spacious. Definitely bring mosquito spray. You feel like you are far away, and there is not a lot around you for us that was a plus because we felt secluded and like we had escaped from the world. The host was extremely well in communicating and offered Local suggestions we were able to eat at one of the places they recommended and it was excellent!!"

Cozy 80s Safari Style RV in Tranquil Bombay Beach with AC

Cozy 80s Safari Style RV in Tranquil Bombay Beach with AC

8/10 Good
"The trailer was as described and very clean. Very fun decor! Vladimir was a wonderful host. The trailer was quite comfortable given its age. A washer/dryer in the nearby structure along with the shower was a big plus. I saw a couple of very small ants on the floor there, but inconsequential. Again, everything seemed quite clean. While the air conditioning isn’t quiet — typical — the handy small fan in the bedroom was. WiFi was spotty so I leaned more on cellular. Evenings were very windy when I was there, and the nearby tree sometimes scratched against the trailer, so a bit of trimming to resolve that noise would be great. Overall, a very good experience for a two-day Bombay Beach stay!"
