2nd stay here

We like this place. Quiet corner of the world. The house is comfortable. Pet friendly places with step-in shower aren’t all that common. I also recommend the restaurant at the club. Maybe the nicest venue in Borrego Springs, and not all that pricey by today’s standards

Our first time to Borrego Springs and staying at this home made our trip so enjoyable. The home located in Ram Hill Resort was close to many places of interest in Anza Borrego State Park. The gated entry at Ram Hill Resort provided us an extra feeling of safety during our stay. We look forward to our next trip to Borrego Springs and we will be staying at this home again.

We enjoyed our 5 night stay in this lovely, spacious home in the Rams Hill Golf Club near Borrego Springs. The patio faced the golf course and the view was more of the native trees and vegetation than the golf course itself which was a plus in our book! We love bird-watching and this was a great place to do it (including seeing two barn owls in the back yard). We also loved the peace and quiet and easy access to town and hiking trails. The host was very responsive to our questions and needs.

Great getaway

Very nice property in a nice area. The host was exceptional , all check in info was easy to follow and contact was quick. We left an item behind and when we contacted Alberta she arranged to personally hand deliver it back to us. That was amazing. Thank you. We will definitely stay at this property again.

Great Milky Way Escape

Wow - this place was really luxurious. Felt like a queen in a gorgeous location with all the amenities anyone could need. House was really comfortable, quiet and designed for relaxation. A friend and I came to Borrego Springs for the first time to photograph the Milky Way and we were thrilled! After coming back from shooting the milky way over the metal statues, we were thrilled to start taking more Milky Way pictures - right from the back patio! A lovely place to escape!

Would Stay Again

My sister, I, and our dogs enjoyed our stay very much. The house itself was clean and nicely appointed. The neighborhood was quiet and very nicely landscaped, as is the entire Rams Hill development. Our only issue is that there seems to be no closet for one of the bedrooms. Other than that, everything else was great. We would recommend this property to others.

Rams Hill Paradise

Great place in Rams Hill community. Very comfortable and roomy with everything you need. Loved the Jacuzzi on the master bedroom patio. Easy walk to clubhouse and pickleball, basketball courts. Only change I would like is a king bed in the master bedroom. Says it's a queen bed but I think it's a full. We'll be back.

Nice place, good combination of dog friendly and ease of access.

We really like this place and hope to return. It is hard to find places that are pet friendly and also good for people with mobility problems. Although the shower doesn't have a grab bar it is an easy "step-in". Toilets are the lower type but all the doors are wide enough for walkers. We did have a problem with check-in. Evolve gave us bad information but the owner was very helpful/responsive. Overall, I give this place great marks.

EXCELLENT!

The perfect place to take my old dog to escape the city noise during the 4th of July holiday. This home was super clean with everything I needed for a comfortable stay with thoughtful extras and easy access. Nice patio to enjoy the birds. And a great library filled with interesting topics and info on the locale. I appreciated Hostess Alberta's stellar communication and insistence to let her know if there was anything I needed. She is so kind and considerate. I hope to return soon, and I know my dog does, too. Thank you, Alberta.

Nice location and home was comfortable.

The home was comfortable and the host was easy to communicate with. The house seemed to be well stocked with everything we needed. We have a couple of suggestions for the management though: The property could use some updating. For example, master bath tile, hot tub cover, master bedroom mattress. Also, the cabinets and garage storage areas could use some reorganization. There was a lot of cluttered "stuff" and hard to tell what was intended for guests or old stuff left by the owner or previous guests. But overall it was a good place to stay.

Fantastic location and gracious host

Great house for our for 3 week stay. Owner was very responsive. Noticed a few essential kitchen items missing which she ordered and sent immediately. There is an Obvious pride of ownership and willingness to make improvements. Always quick to respond to any of our questions.Great location with access to walking trails, pool, pickleball court, and clubhouse. Lovely outdoor spaces with golf course view. Comfortable furnishings and newer kitchen appliances.CONS (Just and FYI) -Fireplace wasn’t working which would have been nice since temperature drops drastically at night.-Heat/air conditioner fan is very loud (woke us the first few nights until we got used to it).Regardless of the cons we will certainly come back again next.
