Photos and Description of the Borrego Springs vacation estate rental
Estate, 6 Bedrooms, 5 Baths, (Sleeps 6-12)

Our private estate home may be reserved by returning guests only. It is situated on 3+ acres of Colorado desert landscape amidst the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. The home is a resort-like hacienda of ~4,500 sq. ft., with 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. It sleeps 6-12 guests, with plenty of room for everyone to stretch out. (For smaller groups, the main residence alone may be reserved for up to 8 guests on VRBO listing #269689).

The ~4,000 sq. ft. main residence has extensive vaulted ceilings, 4 bedrooms with king beds and 3 full bathrooms. It has a fully equipped kitchen with center island and wet bar, an adjoining den with an audio/video entertainment area, a formal dining room seating up to 12 guests, a grand living room with fireplace, audio/video surround sound system and billiard area, and a spacious laundry room. The ~500 sq. ft. casita has 2 bedrooms with kitchenettes and 2 full bathrooms; it is virtually independent of the main house, with rooms equipped like a luxury resort. The ~1,100 sq. ft. garage accommodates 4 vehicles!

You enter under a deep veranda to begin your dream vacation. This grand hacienda has a Spanish tile roof, peach- and lemon-colored stucco walls and wrought iron sconces. The home has soaring beamed ceilings, an enormous cantera stone fireplace in the living room and tile floors throughout. The interior is decorated with quality furnishings, offering a range of styles that will please any taste. Artwork includes dramatic human images by Mexican cubist Diego Rivera, southwestern metal sculpture by Christopher Crooks, and many original works of Latin-American folk art.

Our home offers a relaxing and comfortable vacation, with many quality amenties, including broadband Wi-Fi internet service. The main residence has two big screen LCD HDTV's, Blu-ray DVD/CD players with iPod docks and surround sound systems, with a DVD library of desert 'B movies' and a CD library of eclectic music. It also has a wine captain, 8-foot Olhausen pool table, several board games and a library of reference books focused on local culture and nature. Each casita suite is equipped with an LCD HDTV and DVD/CD player, refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker.

Step outside to the 12-foot deep shaded veranda running the length of the hacienda and adjoining casita. Look out to a sun-washed, walled and private courtyard bordered by citrus trees, palm trees and colorful desert plants. The courtyard centerpiece is the sparkling pool and spa. You’ll enjoy amazing 360 degree views of the San Ysidro, Santa Rosa and Vallecito Mountain ranges that frame Borrego Valley.

Consider a unique getaway! Close your eyes. Dream of your perfect desert vacation. On calm mornings you'll enjoy vivid sunrises over Fonts Point and the cooing of mourning doves. On brilliant afternoons you'll glimpse darting roadrunners as you toss horseshoes in the shade of mature mesquite trees. In the evening you can grill dinner on the north patio while taking in a glorious sunset over Indian Head Mountain. On crystal clear nights you can toast skewered marshmallows over mesquite coals in the large fire pit and soothe your body and soul in the swirling spa under a dark celestial sky. Finally, drift off to sleep while listening to the muffled hooting of an owl and communal cries of distant coyotes.

Dream on. Total indulgence; just laughing, swimming, or walking in a field of desert wildflowers; and talking with family and friends. Dream of floating in your grand pool on summer nights under brilliant stars (you really must bring your binoculars, or spotting scope). Dream of hiking through a nearby desert canyon to an oasis of native California fan palms and sparkling waterfalls! Dream of actually seeing native Big Horn Sheep high above on steep mountain peaks along the way!

Hacienda La Verbena is the most grand and comfortable home available in Borrego and the perfect place for private gatherings of family and friends, retreats and reunions, or to celebrate holidays, anniversaries and birthdays. Follow the desert rainbow to your Borrego Springs dream vacation at Hacienda La Verbena! There is nothing else comparable in all of Borrego Valley.

About The Owner

We are Ph.D. biologists and road cyclists who were born, raised and educated in southern California, where we currently live. We have been visiting Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and Borrego Springs since 1977 and have fallen in love with this wild place, its geology, biology, weather and people. We sincerely wish you a relaxing and inspiring stay at our home. To appreciate the spectacular mountainous terrain surrounding Borrego Valley, click the 'Satellite' button on the map below and zoom out as desired.

What makes this estate unique

Our home's soft interior elegance welcomes you. The courtyard's south-facing orientation to sunlight and moonlight provides an incomparable connection to every minute of the desert's brilliant days and starry nights. You're surrounded by a serene desert ambiance that must be experienced to be understood. It works so well in part because Borrego Springs has few people, no congestion and no traffic lights. The quiet solitude of the surrounding unspoiled Colorado desert wilderness is a balm for the urban craziness that is escaped when coming here. It's a place to unplug. We are confident that you and your guests will also be touched by this magical place.

Incredible Experience

5 of 5
Submitted: April 30, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
The Verbena House is simply an extraordinary venue. We had our wedding there and cannot imagine having had it anywhere else. All our guests commented upon it, again and again.

Besides being extremely beautiful and well laid out, the Verbena House is managed beautifully. It is immaculate; the owners pay attention to every detail, even offering advice about ways to plan more effectively. And the house simply has a good "vibe." It feels "loved."

Beyond all this, the setting is absolutely, utterly magical. I cannot recommend this property more highly.

The property was accurately represented by photos & reviews. It was super clean and the kitchen had all the dishes and utensils needed to cook for a large group. The beds are comfortable. Everything was in working order. The owners are pleasant & informative. We had a marvelous time during our weeks stay.
We would definitely recommend this property to others.

Perfect for a family gathering

Casa Verbena and the Casita were perfect for our family. We invited kids, grandkids and our siblings to celebrate our anniversary. Some came from very cold places like Idaho and New York, so the 85-89 degree late March weather was a pleasant change. We all enjoyed swimming and sun bathing. The kitchen was well stocked with various pans and utensils so that we could enjoy our chef/son's cooking. There was plenty of room and the desert flowers were in bloom. All amenities were provided as listed, it was very clean and well-maintained, inside and out. Thanks for a great spot for a family gathering. I would definitely recommend it for gatherings of 6-15.

Hacienda Verbena was the perfect 3-day getaway for our family reunion. We had a great time lounging in the courtyard, and relaxing in the pool and hot tub. We cooked a lot in the large kitchen, and grilled in the outdoor BBQ. The town grocery was stocked with all the essentials, and the local restaurants were inviting. We also did a nice hike under the very warm sun and saw groups of Big Horn Sheep along the way. At night, we toasted marshmallows and had smores by the courtyard fire pit and stared up at the stars. What more could you ask for? Plus, the owner was extremely responsive and offered good suggestions to help us make the most of our vacation.

Excellent House

Our family of nine, including two toddlers and one infant, took full advantage of all that the hacienda had to offer. In thinking of what to write about the experience, the adults all agreed that it is definitely a very special place. Though the photos were accurate, the feeling of openness and comfort at the hacienda could not have been conveyed in a blurb. We all appreciated that the house was spotlessly clean. We were so relaxed there enjoying the pool, the games, the grill and, in general, the lifestyle that was offered. The owner was happily available to answer any questions that we had. We definitely will recommend this property to friends or relatives who might be interested in visiting Borrego. Outside of the house, the hiking, the birdwatching and walking in the area are exceptional. It was an unforgettable start to a lovely week in California for our family.
