This galactic marvel is just a click away. The place is indescribable. The host is easy to communicate with. He responded rapidly each time I communicated with him.

Mazens place was great. We stayed there with 4 kiddos. They loved the arcade room and pool. Pool and spa were crystal clear and well maintained. Was a very quiet peaceful fun time.

We enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Great surroundings and environment!

Our family of five and pet had a great stay at the desert gem. We did not follow the directions that were posted and we ended up on a dirt road that was not pathed out but just literal tracks in the dirt. Our bad. Be sure to follow the direction given or you might end up off roading! As we drove in it felt a little uneasy seeing some neighbors properties that were not in the greatest conditions, nothing the host can do about that unfortunately but it does set the tone as you drive in. It was secure all around the perimeter with a gate and the property was clean with the exception of the dishes which needed cleaning before use. The game room was a big hit. We enjoyed the hot tub and the hammock was a perfect relaxing spot. We enjoyed the sunsets and star gazing and the kids had a blast with all the room to explore and run around. We found that being in the middle of nowhere is both unnerving and relaxing.

Great stay! Would go again! It’s out there.. but worth the drive! The pictures accurately show the space! Had fun in the arcade room.. some of the buttons on the games were sticking but other than that, super great place to stay!

Such an amazing place thank you

Amazing stay! the arcade was IMPECCABLE.

Great place to kick back and chill. Very remote but easy to get to.

The property is in the middle of nowhere in the best way possible. Our weekend felt very secluded and didn't see anyone else our whole stay. The game room was really nicely put together, and we have a lot of fun in the pool and hot tub. The house was very clean, and no issues at all. Check in was super easy, and the host responded very quickly to messages. We were fortunate to have a storm one of the nights that we stayed, and it was such a perfect experience to add to our already great stay. For sure would stay again and recommend to anyone who wants to experience the desert for a few days.

I've stayed at about 20 Airbnbs and this spot is my favorite by a wide margin. What I like best about The Desert Gem is the 5 private acres of secludedness. It's rad to look around and not see a soul. The pool and hot tub area is where we spent most of our time. A perfect spot to lounge, recharge, unplug, and soak up the desert sun. The sunrise and sunsets were mind-blowingly beautiful. The place itself was spacious and roomy. Could accommodate 6-8 guests easily. Enormous kitchen with new appliances. Recently remodeled, super clean and nice. Master bedroom is huge, king sized bed so comfy. Had fun everyday using the game room with pool table, foos-ball, and classic arcade games. Mazen was an awesome host. We'll definitely be staying here again. I highly recommend staying here.

We had such an incredible stay! Definitely will be coming here again. Everything was perfect and the communication with the host was the best and fastest we have ever experienced. Can’t recommend it enough! can’t wait to go back again soon

It’s our second time here and it was as great as the first. Mazen is quick to respond to questions and great at accommodating me and my family with an early check in. House was nice and clean, game area and pool were in great condition. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you

We got to enjoy the views of the mountains and amenities property has to offer like the pool, hot tub and arcades. Place is clean, plenty of extra beds, towels, blankets so my family was satisfied. My english bulldog enjoyed it the most since she enjoyed walking and exploring the compound since it's enclosed with a gate. Definitely would stay here again.

The Airbnb was super accommodating for our large family. We enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi, and the arcade games was nostalgic and great. Plenty of towels and extra bedding supplies were provided, and the AC was strong and perfect for the hot summer days. Mazen was quick to respond to any questions we had. We’d definitely book here again for any future trips.

Great place to relax and stay home

Stayed at Mazen’s properties for years. The desert gem is our family’s favorite summer or winter.
