I highly recommend this place, visit Zapata Falls, take water shoes, not flip flops, and make sure you go all the way in to the cave to see the second (or is it the first) section of the fall. It's beautiful. Go see the dunes, take a red lantern and see the stars. Visit the mission churches of the valley, and try the fudge shots at the All Gone Cafe.
We've really enjoyed our 7 day stay here, we had a few things break, and the owner had someone out to repair them faster than you can usually get someone in the city. It's been very pleasant, the bathtub is very nice and a pleasant place to loll around in during the hottest (85°F) part of the day. It's beautiful here, there are feral horses, pronghorns, rabbits and a few loose cattle roaming.
But here are some things you should know about this rental. There is no stove, refrigerator, or kitchen in general. There is a coffee maker. And a good quality ice chest, bring your own ice of course. There is a security system and video monitoring, and motion activated flood lights, which makes star gazing a little hard. There is no A/C. The windows are all sealed so if you're expecting to be able to have a cross breeze in the afternoons, it's not going to happen. (There are dust storms, so this is to help keep the place clean) This place is off grid, so there is a limited amount of power, while we never ran out of power even just before sunrise, we didn't push the system. We charged our 2 phones and our headphones, and a laptop. The lights only flickered when the water pressurizer switched on during showers. The water pressure is great by the way, and the water was always hot. There is a gas stove heater which we never needed, so didn't try. You are getting a bed room and large bathroom attached to a house, it's like staying in a nice hotel room (all the same amenities, except no daily house cleaning)
