Great place to stay!

We stayed at this property as a jumping-off point for a visit to Death Valley National Park, and for that purpose, it was wonderful! The kitchen was an especial highlight, with a dated but well-maintained range that worked great and the best pots, pans, and cutlery I've ever had in a rental. The house itself was a little dark in the evenings, but there was plenty of natural light---and gorgeous views!---through the windows during the daytime. Communications with the host were prompt and courteous, and the neighborhood was exceptionally quiet. The only thing that I wish I'd known before our stay: apparently the local fire station sets off a siren when there's something going on in the middle of the night. The second night we were there, a siren that sounded like an old air raid siren went off briefly at 3am then at 3:15am. After checking to make sure there was no emergency affecting us, we were able to get back to sleep, but if we'd known about this before, we could have skipped the search around the house and the check online for any emergency alerts. I'm still giving this property 5 stars, though, because I would definitely stay here again.

Amazing location. Hospitable hosts

This is not your typical rental, but a home with personal amenities. The hosts were fantastic and provided thorough instructions on how to check in and out. The property is located with a view of mt Whitney and Alabama hills. We loved our stay here.

Wonderfully homey.

Of all the places I’ve stayed in my life, for me this is number one by far. I’m 77 and have traveled to many places and many counties. This is by far the best. The yard and garden are real special. The home is so very homey. I can’t say enough.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah & Jaime

Jaime was born in Amsterdam and spent his youth between the Netherlands and Guatemala. He met Sarah in Guatemala and moved to the US to be with her. They moved to Los Angeles in 2004 and started working in the Owens Valley in 2008, where they now live full-time.
Sarah was born New Orleans and has lived in Ojai CA, Seattle, New York, Bali, Los Angeles and now Owens Valley.

Why they chose this property

During the last 16 years of working in the Owens Valley we have fallen in love with the desert, the mountains, the history and the people. We looked at places in the towns of Lone Pine and Independence but always yearned for a place where you could feel deeply connected to nature. This is that place. The hills, the mountains, the fresh groundwater underneath our feet.... it's all perfect and we feel joy every moment we spend there.

What makes this property unique

A mere ten feet below the surface we find groundwater clean and plentiful, coming straight off the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Many of the trees on the property have their roots in this water and the pond in the backyard fills seasonally. This abundance is noticeable in the vegetation around us and that's what first attracted us to the place.
