The on-site host was very sweet and attentive. The property was very clean and the room we stayed in was nice and roomy. My only suggestion would be to put up a shower curtain in the shower for privacy, a larger trash can for trash and a small fridge in the room for guest to store drinks, etc. Also the larger spa was empty and not ready to use as pictured on the listing. It would expect that all amenities would be available to use if they are listed when booking. We did enjoy our stay and plan to go back.

The environment is peaceful and comfortable. Ernest is a warm and friendly host. He is hospitable, but non-intrusive. I’m glad that I returned to visit Turtleback Mesa. Despite the hot tube not working, it was still a nice stay. ##### Jermaine Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martha Nov 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I loved this place. Ernest was a wonderful host, made us a delicious breakfast, the day of our departure and urged us to use the wonderful mineral springs hot tub. One thing I would suggest is that Expedia change the location of this spot to Indio rather than Desert Hot Springs. It is a good 20 miles from Desert Hot Springs. Had our host not let us know ahead of time we would’ve gone directly there with no dinner and nowhere nearby too get dinner or groceries. ##### Martha ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole May 31, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel was such a charming place to visit. It was a pleasant change of pace from the sterile chain hotels I've stayed at in the past. There are only three rooms so it's pretty quiet and cozy. The hot water bath is probably the nicest I've used in the states. This location is situated out in the country away from bigger cities/towns so definitely bring what you need since its a bit of a drive to get any last minute items from the store. ##### Nicole Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Amber G. Feb 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities An eclectic mix of artistry and natural hot springs makes this place a unique B&B... relaxing and rejuvenating. The shared shower is designed thoughtfully, creating a space that is both private and natural. Comfortable bed, warm shower, and a delicious breakfast. A communal style setup encourages new experiences and a nice setting for meeting other travelers for good conversation. The host was kind and welcoming, thank you Ernest! ##### Amber G.

The shower was a bit weird (no curtains, water was lukewarm) but not a big deal. ##### saranathan Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### naoaki Dec 8, 2021 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I made 2 rooms. My one reservation was canceled by Expedia when I arrived hotel. So I requested to cancel another room but owner said MUST pay $27 to cancel. Why I have to pay his commission from my pocket even I didn’t stay there. And there were a lot of daphnia pulex in the pool. I will not recommend anyone this Turtle Hotel. ##### naoaki Stayed 1 night in Nov 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Dec 2, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay out in God's country!

It is very quiet here and calming. The bed is comfortable and the AC works well. Breakfast was a fresh fruit salad and wonderful omelettes. We will visit again. ##### David Stayed 1 night in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose Y Apr 29, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We had a fantastic stay on Turtle Back Mesa. ##### Jose Y Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 24, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The owner Ernest is a very nice man.

We were the only guests in the house for that night, Ernest called us in advance to check if we wanted to have mineral bath and what temperature we prefer, which was extremely nice of him. The room was immaculate, very cozy, with nice hand made furniture and a lot of little details that added up to the comfort of the place. We totally loved it. We booked because of the mineral hot spring, and the bath was amazing - clean, warm, located outdoor with very little light pollution - so we could watch the stars and the moon while soaking in the mineral water. What a special experience!!! In the morning Ernest cooked us a filling breakfast, so we had a great start of the day. We went hiking in Joshua tree National Park, which is located 30 minutes away from the property. Next time we are in the area, we will definitely stay at Ernest’s place again, what a great experience! ##### Dennis Stayed 1 night in Nov 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Yosemite Valley Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-Yosemite-Valley-Lodge.h16279668.Hotel-Information) > > [Seascape Beach Resort ](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Seascape-Beach-Resort-Monterey.h27665117.Hotel-Information) > > [Cottage with a large patio, free WiFi, washer/dryer, & gas grill](https://www.expedia.ca/Guerneville-Hotels-Cottage-With-A-Large-Patio.h76175496.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in St. Andrews](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Andrews-Hotels.d6141059.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Gold Country Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Chico-Hotels-Gold-Country-Casino-Resort.h1269730.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Scenic Wonders Deer Mountain 4b](https://www.expedia.ca/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Scenic-Wonders-Deer-Mountain-4b.h39503191.Hotel-Information) > > [HYATT HIGHLANDS INN Hotel- CARMEL](https://www.expedia.ca/Monterey-Hotels-Hyatt-Highlands-INN-Hotel-Carmel.h69700927.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wheelhouse - Pebble Beach House - Luxury near MPCC Golf and Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Pebble-Beach-Hotels-The-Wheelhouse-Pebble-Beach-Home-Luxury-MPCC-And-Beach.h21627887.Hotel-Information) > > [Near Hiking & Skiing: Bear Valley Cabin!](https://www.expedia.ca/Arnold-Hotels-Bear-Valley-Cabin-Ski-To-XC-Trails.h93572668.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Auburn by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Placerville-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Auburn.h18395.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreydon House B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Simeon-Hotels-Dreydon-House-Bed-And-Breakfast.h2586852.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Retreat-Pool/HotTub/Game Room/Putting Green](https://www.expedia.ca/Escondido-Hotels-Luxury-Retreat-PoolHotTubGame-RoomPutting-Green.h88590766.Hotel-Information) > > [Wine Stone Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Luis-Obispo-Hotels-Wine-Stone-Inn.h39514495.Hotel-Information) > > [Cajon Pass Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Phelan-Hotels-Cajon-Pass-Inn.h864483.Hotel-Information) > > [(15B) The Legacy at The Redwoods In Yosemite](https://www.expedia.ca/Yosemite-National-Park-Hotels-Cabin-15B-The-Legacy.h33707100.Hotel-Information) > > [Chaminade Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Cruz-Hotels-Chaminade-Resort-Spa.h27566.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluebird's Burrow\~ EV Charging, Hot Tub, Firepit, Game Room, Gym](https://www.expedia.ca/Guerneville-Hotels-Bluebirds-Burrow-EV-Charging.h89752389.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Truro](https://www.expedia.ca/Truro-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d7164-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Greenhorn Ranch](https://www.expedia.ca/Quincy-Hotels-Greenhorn-Ranch.h20214566.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Maldives-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d109-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Wyndham Sacramento](https://www.expedia.ca/Sacramento-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-Hotel-Sacramento-Northeast.h1297.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Denver (DEN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/den/edmonton-to-denver) > > [Flights from Pittsburgh (PIT) to Boston (BOS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pit/bos/pittsburgh-to-boston) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Lisbon (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/lis/winnipeg-to-lisbon) > > [Flights from Santiago (SCL) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/scl/cun/santiago-to-cancun) ### Packages > [Golconda Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Golconda-Fort-Hyderabad.d6104596.Vacation-Attraction)
