Room was good. The staff were excellent. We would not return here for a special occasion weekend. It was disappointing that the facility offered a day pass. When we booked it was under the understanding that the place only had 6 rooms. We were under the impression that would be 12-15 people on the premises. Not so, we ended up with a group of young people and a barking dog on our second day We make the trip to Desert Hot Springs every year. The staff were a 10/10. Loved the place. We went there thinking we were guaranteed peace and quiet with a very limited number of guests.- not so

A wonderful oasis of kindness, comfort and calm.

The room was clean and comfortable with a fully functional ear-in kitchen as a separate room. We also had our own patio with a hammock. The staff was super friendly and attentive and the pools and fire pit and the rest of the grounds provided a perfect variety of serene options.

Love this place. Love the grounds, the rooms, and the pool. Minor criticism, Water heater in my room did not work in the evening. There was no Staff on site, Had to do multiple phone calls with an after hours person to arrange maintenance. Maintenance worker showed up almost 2 hours later, did something, but no hot water until the next morning. On-Site Staff would have been helpful.

Disappointed that we couldn’t use the sauna. A tree is in front of the door. It would not open all the way. Our back patio was completely missed at clean up. Broken tree, two broken branches blocking our door. Broken lamps on the ground. Broken chair arm rest. Also, more signage is needed QUIET ZONE. Two day pass ladies came in on our last day and were sooooo loud. Talking, and phone usage. Ridiculous.

Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property was cute, unique, and had a boutique feel. The only problem was that they allow day-use guests and so the pool you thought you were going to share with just a handful of guests at this small boutique hotel gets filled with people during the day. We got back from our hike ready to cool off only to find there wasnt a single lounge chair available and this continued until 5pm. So much for our relaxing weekend by the pool!

LOVED the Good House! Beautiful oasis behind the gated secure wall. Well maintained clean serene surroundings. Super chill friendly 7 room spa mineral pool and jacuzzi.

This was the perfect stay! We were pleasantly surprised that the sauna was up and running. The hot springs water was excellent- clean and healing as we took a dip to relax and warm up in the winter's cold. Staff was extremely nice and super helpful. The hotel itself was super cute and very clean. Definitely a do-over!

This place has a very "silent pool party at my rich friend's house" vibe. Because it's so small, it's an extremely intimate space, which can make interacting with fellow travelers pleasant or awkward--truly a case-by-case experience. When we went, there were two pools available, they were lovely, as promised. The place seems to be a little bit understaffed, however--it was hard to get towels replaced, and there never seemed to be enough breakfast foods for the number of people staying, which seemed odd. The rooms were also curiously furnished, with a little bit less of everything than you might expect (we only had two sleeping pillows, which seemed weird). In number 2, where we stayed, there was no overhead light and nothing that could pass for a reading lamp, so at night we had to rely on the light from the kitchenette and two very dim basket lamps when we wanted to read at night.

A Tranquil Getaway

While the Good House may not be everyone's cup of tea, for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, it is an ideal location. The staff is very friendly and attentive, and the grounds are an oasis of calm and beauty. The Good House is an intimate environment where you can really connect with your neighbors over a delicious breakfast. The warm pool and even warmer tub feature the best water in the world. Bring a good book and really unplug. The rooms are basic and charmingly rustic, so if you are looking for 5-Star accommodation, look elsewhere. That said, there's little reason to be in your room beyond sleep time. There are plenty of shady outdoor spots to catch a quiet nap in a lounge chair or hammock. The sauna is top-notch. Except for breakfast, there is no food service on premises, and local options are limited. Plan accordingly. All in all, if you really are craving rest, relaxation and a no-fuss vibe, the Good House is your place.

Loved staying at this property. What made it even special is the owner is the sweetest person and was always attentive making sure we were doing good. Only thing I can suggest is a full length mirror in the room. I don't know if others rooms have it but ours didn’t and so when getting dressed to go out i missed that detail. But it’s such a pretty location. Our room was large and spacious. The pools were awesome and the amenities by the pools were great. And service is wonderful.

Warm escape

More like The GREAT House! After a very hot drive from LA we were delighted that Virginia could accommodate us for an early check-in. The atmosphere is so peaceful yet warm and inviting, and we loved our cozy room with a patio (hammock!) and the two hot spring pools. There's little to do in the immediate area but that's kind of the point. Joshua Tree park is a little under an hour away and Palm Springs is about 20 mins by car.
