We loved staying at Aphrodite! What an amazing property ? We ended up extending our stay another night because we just didn't want to leave. Thank you Diane and team!

I almost want to keeps this place a secret, it’s that good! The drive in is a bit rough, and long but we did it in a Camaro so obviously it’s doable. The pool is spectacular, the staff is friendly and attentive when needed but kind of disappear into the background when you don’t need them. You get a phone number to text if you need anything or have any questions and they are very prompt to answer or bring you what you need.
We visited during rattlesnake season but didn’t see any, even on hikes around the area.
This is such a wonderful place, we hated leaving and considered changing plane tickets and our car rental and staying another day just to hang out on the grounds and swim/shower under the stars. Staying longer ended up not working out because of my work schedule ☹️ but we will be back for sure! This is a kid free zone, FYI, this trip was a couples vacation but I would love to bring my 15-year-old but according to the rules thats not allowed. But pets are allowed!
Out of this world location and night sky. Book it! You will be so pleased! We stayed in Air Cabin #4. ❤️❤️❤️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

This is such a little gem. We stayed in the Aphrodite cottage. It was a great balance of privacy and community. Exactly as advertised and very clean. Check in and out were simple and without suprise. The use of a private patio, sunbathing area , BBQ and gated driveway made our relaxing trip as stress free as possible. We did some hiking around the property and loved the views. We will be staying here again and hopefully next time we will open up our schedule a bit to accommodate some horse backing and pool time.

Had the most relaxing weekend in this amazing place. Amenities exceeded all of our expectations. Diane helped with anything we needed and Shawn was attentive and happy to assist and show us around. Can't wait to go back.

We were very comfortable in the Aphrodite cabin, with plenty of space and privacy. We enjoyed two different hikes on the property and an afternoon at the beautiful pool. Stargazing was compromised by the first-quarter moon, but I imagine on darker nights it's fantastic. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. On this spring visit, wildflowers blanketed the property. Beautiful.

Great little getaway. Prefect for couples and groups looking for a weekend away from it all. Beautiful views and close to Joshua Tree and Palm Springs.

It was a very pleasant surprise staying at the Hidden Passage Guest Ranch. It was very peaceful and even my mom, who is not a fan of traveling, was so relaxed and had so much fun that she did not want to leave. I also brought Walle, my dog, and he highly recommends this place to stay!

UPDATE: After posting initial review, as requested I contacted management, with pictures and have not received another response. These pictures are the dust under the bed, bugs in the bathtub, and the outdoor patio from my September 2020 stay.

I stayed in September, 2020, in the Aphrodite Cottage and it was filthy dirty, so many bugs, checked out 2 days early because I couldn’t deal with the bugs and they didn’t respond to my request for a partial refund for leaving early. Wouldn’t recommend.
