Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The ambiance of this historical hotel makes it an experience, they went all out for Halloween! The staff was so friendly and helpful with directions on parking. And a bonus was the breakfast selection - so much better than many other hotel breakfasts!"

Walnut Row, Walk to Valley Junction, Sleeps 10+

10/10 Excellent

8/10 Good

"Such a wonderful experience with all of the extras included. We had kitchenware for cooking, extra linens and toiletries. the beds were very comfortable and a lot of space. Great stay!"

The Palms Mirage House 3 Bedroom Home

8/10 Good

"The house is lovely for a weekend of meditation or connecting with nature, but I wouldn't recommend it for very outgoing families, as the local community is very sensitive about music. I actually felt stressed by the surrounding environment; in my view, renting a house implies having more freedom to have fun, but that wasn't the case here. Next time, I’d choose a hotel instead—I’d have a better time and save money, too."
