Guest Comments:: 07/04/09 Positive Rating Robert Powers, Altadena, CA What a great vacation we had in Borrego Springs. Richard's home was just right for a quite getaway vacation. The house is new, and has all the conveniences you could want, with a nice kitchen and a spacious living room. Thanks Richard. We would definitely like to return soon. And nice job with the construction of the house. There are so many nice touches. Regards, Robert 05/19/09 Positive Rating Kelly and Bob , The dictionary describes the desert as a wasteland, barren region, desolate, but as we sat outside the master bedroom patio, at the Windgodbird home, what we saw was far from that. This home provides beautiful views of the mountains, desert flowers at your door step with trails leading out to the deserts, an ever changing sky, and the silence of the day and night that is only disrupted by a desert palm tree blowing in the wind, or the sound of a bird or coyote singing . The Windgodbird home was a fabulous place.

Golf: Guest Comments: 04/04/09 Positive Rating Rob & Monisha , Richard, I can tell you that my wife, our two young children, and I had a wonderful time at your house in Borrego Springs. The house was close enough to town to be convenient but far enough away to be away from it all with uninterrupted views in every direction. Our children loved the fact that we were only 100 yards from 'Windgod II'--the 16-ft statue of a bird. The cactus and octotillo were in bloom and we could look out our bedroom window door and see for 20 miles. At night the stars we saw constellations we never even knew were there. The house itself was in beautiful condition and much more upgraded than we would have imagined, with wood floors, elegant carpeting, and tasteful decor. The owner Richard was easy to work with and made our weekend trip a breeze. We will definitely be back! Thanks again, Rob & Monisha

Beautiful new home

loghome@cox.net escondido, ca
Review Submitted: December 27, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2009
My husband and I had a quiet Christmas getaway in this lovely home in Borrego Springs. The views from this home are phenomenal - 360 degrees of mountains. We woke to the amazing colors at sunrise seen from the bedroom. The home is spacious and comfortable.

Thank you, Richard, for sharing your home and for the simple renting process.

Perfect Desert Home

PacificBeach San Diego, CA
Review Submitted: November 10, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2009
My family had the opportunity to stay in WindGodBird for a recent stay in Borrego Springs and it simply does not get better than this. I recommend it for families staying in the Borrego area, especially if they need a longer term place filled with all the amenities to make it feel like "home."

It is located at the edge of town (but still only 5 minutes from Christmas Circle), and perfect for enjoying beautiful Borrego nights under the stars.

The house has everything one needs to enjoy a desert getaway!

Thanks again for everything, and we look forward to another stay soon.

Beyond Excellent...

jhagandean Hayward, ca.
Review Submitted: September 10, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
My Visit to the Borrego Desert has been one of the best adventures I have experianced. The Wind God Bird and Richard are more then special. Both myself and my 15 year old nephew felt as though we were staying in our own home, Richard and his wife have decorated this home with alot of love, and great taste.... Richard was even so kind as to bring his own Telescope from his home so that my Nephew, who has a passion for Astronomy since he was 8yrs old was able to experiance the vastness of the Desert night sky and all it's star's. So to all that are wishing to experiance the Borrego Desert and all of it's beauty, in my heart I would only reccomend the Homes that Richard has constructed...... Richard, Thank you... for your kind and Generouse heart and spirit.......
Take good care,
I hope to see you next year in spring,
Sincerely,
Jeanette (Ca.) and Kyle ( Spokane Wa.)
