All of us really enjoyed our stay at the Poppy House. First of all, if you love the desert, Borrego Springs is really enjoyable. We went four-wheeling, biking, sight-seeing, took a trip to the Salton Sea, etc.
The house is really comfortable with a mid-century vibe. We especially enjoyed the very large and accommodating living room and kitchen area with floor to ceiling windows. It feels like you're outside even when you're inside. From the living room we watched rabbits, jack rabbits and roadrunners galore scurrying around the property. The mountain views are really impressive too.
The house was very clean when we arrived and was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We all agreed that the beds were very comfortable.
Terrie, the host, was very accommodating and easy to communicate with.
This was my first VRBO rental and it was a really great experience all the way around.

The house was just beautiful and exactly met our needs. The location was perfect. Such amazing views and so many different areas surrounding the home to enjoy them. The pool and hot tub were big favorites for the kids. Brand new grill was much enjoyed. I will look to stay only there whenever we return.

Desert Poppy House was the perfect vacation home for our trip to see the Anza-Borrego wildflowers. The home was spacious, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. There’s a welcoming hot tub and pool for relaxing after a long day of hiking. And the location can’t be beat! Close to the Visitor’s Center, restaurants, and markets. We also enjoyed sitting outside at night under a million stars. Hope to visit again.

Terrie's Poppy House is an AMAZING desert property. You won't believe how beautiful the setting is ... completely surrounded by snow-capped mountains. The house is very roomy, and is gorgeous inside furnished with beautiful mid-century furniture and tasteful decorating. The views of the desert out of the many floor to ceiling windows make this place one of a kind. There is also hiking all over the Anza-Borrego Desert and several restaurants just a few minutes away. We enjoyed our stay at Terrie's house immensely. Terrie was 100% attentive to any questions we had. This place is a gem.

The house features a comfy and spacious great room and well-equipped kitchen, perfect for our group of three couples. There are multiple outside seating areas from which to take in the fabulous views. Location was terrific: on a dead-end road adjacent to the state park and close enough to walk to town. The host was friendly and responsive. We would certainly book again!

The poppy house was a fantastic place to enjoy the desert and Anza Borrego State Park! The huge windows in every room, especially the living room, make you feel like you're enjoying the outdoors even when cozy by the fire. House was clean and comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The hot tub was also fantastic! We had a great stay and will definitely return to enjoy the house again in the future.

Great Desert Location
Perfect location, walking distance from State park and hiking trails. House is light and bright, with windows and sliders everywhere, and perfectly oriented for watching the sunrise over the eastern mountains. Hot tub was great; with the late-rising moon we sat out and lost ourselves in the universe overhead. Property was clean, the host was very communicative and helpful. We cooked each night and the kitchen had everything we needed. Great place, perfect stay.

Poppy House is a mid-century gem! Terri the host was wonderful, very communicative and accommodating. The house is not new construction but is a beautiful, vintage, desert paradise. The hot tub is new and sparkling and the beds are super comfortable. The color scheme of the house is gorgeous and it was the perfect restful escape from Los Angeles. Our two teenagers adored it and we love all of the little touches around the house. The blue kitchen is well-equipped for a weekend stay. We played lots of chess and hot-tubbed under the pink moon. It was a nice walk to the shops and to trails. The house is well-situated to be private and yet close to everything we needed. We watched movies and read and cooked and hiked and even enjoyed a dip in the pool. The casita is adorable. All around we had a wonderful Easter long weekend at the Poppy House and would highly recommend it!

A super property in a great location. The house is in great shape and is well equipped and appointed. Pool and hot tub are both wonderful. The A/C works great, which is nice when you get desert weather. Really handy location near town and the park visitor center but feels like you’re out in the desert. Highly recommended.

Beauty Surrounds You
We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Borrego. The house was relaxing, well stocked and accessible to Borrego’s shops and restaurants. After a long day of hiking we liked to relax by the pool and view the beautiful sunset. We often were serenaded by the coyotes and visited by a local roadrunner. Overall, a five star experience.

Borrego Springs is a wonderful place, and this house made it even more special. The MCM house with expansive glass provides 180+ degree views of the mountains and valley, and brings the outside in.
I highly recommend it.

The location--with its desert surround--is the perfect setting to highlight the sights and sounds of the Anza Borrego region. The house was spotless, well appointed, up to date and very comfortable. Easy communication with the host, we felt well supported and looked after. Great walking in the nearby neighborhoods and, of course, up into the Park. The perfect winter getaway from northern cold and gloomy skies.
