Not whats pictured

Newer pictures should be posted to know exactly what it is you’re reserving. Reserved for my anniversary weekend, went to address provided once reservation was made. Came to a dead end with no where to park. Unsure if the address provided was just wrong. Lots of trees, lots of cactus. No clear spot to park or set up camp. No clear path to walk down to find any different area. An RV looked to have been there for a while, unkept. Trash was in multiple places where there could have been a parking/camp site further away from the water. Not sure if this was a spot that could be camped in since this is also part of other properties and homes to locals. Due to the drought the reservoir was not visible from where the directions led us, so again not sure where to walk or go. We did see the wild horses. They were beautiful. The drive in was a little rough but the views were pretty . Asked for a refund and explained everything to the host. She was understanding and agreed to refund my reservation. Due to holiday still waiting on refund.

My Little Piece of Heaven

This is my wild, little piece of Heaven. I love the mountains, I love the lake view, I love the wild horses! My kids get so excited when they see the horses come down to drink water. We even spotted a foal. The stars are awesome and so clear at night. Perfect for stargazing.
