Quiet place to relax out in the desert
This is a cozy quiet place to stay out in the desert. The on-site host was very sweet and attentive. The property was very clean and the room we stayed in was nice and roomy. My only suggestion would be to put up a shower curtain in the shower for privacy, a larger trash can for trash and a small fridge in the room for guest to store drinks, etc. Also the larger spa was empty and not ready to use as pictured on the listing. It would expect that all amenities would be available to use if they are listed when booking. We did enjoy our stay and plan to go back. Thank you

I loved this place. Ernest was a wonderful host, made us a delicious breakfast, the day of our departure and urged us to use the wonderful mineral springs hot tub. One thing I would suggest is that Expedia change the location of this spot to Indio rather than Desert Hot Springs. It is a good 20 miles from Desert Hot Springs. Had our host not let us know ahead of time we would’ve gone directly there with no dinner and nowhere nearby too get dinner or groceries.

Peaceful and relaxing
This is a great place for couples to relax. The environment is peaceful and comfortable. Ernest is a warm and friendly host. He is hospitable, but non-intrusive. I’m glad that I returned to visit Turtleback Mesa. Despite the hot tube not working, it was still a nice stay.

This hotel was such a charming place to visit. It was a pleasant change of pace from the sterile chain hotels I've stayed at in the past. There are only three rooms so it's pretty quiet and cozy. The hot water bath is probably the nicest I've used in the states. This location is situated out in the country away from bigger cities/towns so definitely bring what you need since its a bit of a drive to get any last minute items from the store.

An eclectic mix of artistry and natural hot springs makes this place a unique B&B... relaxing and rejuvenating. The shared shower is designed thoughtfully, creating a space that is both private and natural. Comfortable bed, warm shower, and a delicious breakfast. A communal style setup encourages new experiences and a nice setting for meeting other travelers for good conversation. The host was kind and welcoming, thank you Ernest!

Ernest is a super friendly host, can’t ask for more.very quiet area with private hot spring jacuzzi. He waited for me and my daughter to come back at night time to made sure we are safely back to the hotel, and hot jacuzzi was ready for us when we returned. Very flexible hours, excellent home made bread. Definitely will recommend to anyone

Fairly remote so very quiet. The hot tub was excellent. The main house has a kitchen for cooking supper. The creosote room was great, very spacious and tastefully decorated. The shower was a bit weird (no curtains, water was lukewarm) but not a big deal.

I made 2 rooms. My one reservation was canceled by Expedia when I arrived hotel. So I requested to cancel another room but owner said MUST pay $27 to cancel. Why I have to pay his commission from my pocket even I didn’t stay there. And there were a lot of daphnia pulex in the pool. I will not recommend anyone this Turtle Hotel.

Ernest welcomes you at the door and shows you the grounds and your room. It is very quiet here and calming. The bed is comfortable and the AC works well. Breakfast was a fresh fruit salad and wonderful omelettes. We will visit again.
