We really enjoyed our stay at Ron's place and our only regret was not staying a bit longer so that we could have fully enjoyed the property. We visited the Big Morongo Canyon preserve, which was nice for leisurely strolling through a variety of habitats and some nice views but saw many more birds at the house. We enjoyed feeding the birds (and bunnies) each morning.
Ron met us for check-in and shared info about the geology and wildlife of the property along with the how-to's for the home. The location was perfect for a day trip to Joshua Tree and we'd recommend a stop at Indian Canyon just outside of Palm Springs.
The kitchen is small (one person at a time) but well equipped with all we needed for our stay. We really appreciated the extra effort Ron makes for his guests (fresh water in the hot tub, ice in the freezer, boots to borrow in case of heavy rain, snacks). He's also a stellar photographer.
