The bathroom alone is a work of art. The pods are magical. Made us feel like we were alone in the desert. A+++

The garage doors open so you can see the sunrise from bed. The peace and quiet is amazing — being in a city all the time, you forget what that feels like.

We spent 2 weeks seeing the best of California and this was the highlight. The ATV tour was an amazing addition. A real bucket list experience.
