Crickets Cabin
I loved staying at Cricket's Cabin. The cabin was cozy and comfortable, and the view was amazing! It was also a lot of fun exploring the trails Tom set out on his property. You will encounter more vistas, giant boulders, pretty birds, and cool sculptures.
Just mind that you need to drive about a mile on dirt roads which might be an issue with some cars (although we managed just fine with a Toyota Corolla) and that it is very hot during the middle of the day even end of September. Nevertheless, I'd definitely recommend a stay to everybody!

Secluded desert getaway!
Such a great stay! Although hot in late June we just cooled off by jumping in the shower for a second and took a long nap during the hottest party if the day. This is truly a magical place to visit the views were amazing especially at moonrise. Be sure to get up early to hike around on the many trails that Tom has cultivated and maintained. So much hidden art among the desert property. Thanks Tom, we loved our stay.

Crickets Cabin
Tom was fantastic and the views were amazing! It was cold out, but the cabin was so cozy and stayed the perfect temperature with the help of the heater. There’s a set of swings that overlook the mountain range and beautiful sculptures all over the place. 10/10 would recommend.

Wander the paths, discover delights
There is something magical about Tom’s land that keeps us coming back year after year. We’ve camped there in our tiny trailer at least ten times but this was our first time staying in Crickets Cabin. It was so cozy and the view is breathtaking!! My favorite thing to do there is wander the winding paths that Tom has carved. You never know what treasures you might find! Sculptures tucked around corners. Incredible boulders to climb and take in the view or sit on and meditate listening to the wind. Keep your eyes open for the tiny charming wildflowers. We’ve seen and heard all sorts of wildlife over the years (deer, coyotes, rabbits, lizards, and even a horny toad) and especially enjoyed listening and ID the various birds and their songs this time around. The stargazing is really incredible too!! Tom is a fantastic host. He’s got it set up so you feel like you have the whole valley to yourself. This place is perfect for nature lovers, artists, and mindful meditators. It is peaceful and vast. A place you can go out and explore and then come back to rest and recharge. Lose yourself and find yourself. Reconnect with nature. We can’t wait to go back!!

Very special, magical place
What a special place, Cricket's Cabin! The view is incredible, and the cabin is so cozy and comfortable. It was raining and cold when I was there, but the fireplace kept the cabin really warm, and Tom was incredibly kind and considerate, putting the fire on before I got there to warm it up. The place was clean, organized and immaculately kept with nice touches like a headlamp on either side of the bed, a lantern, and water. I didn't use the outside shower (with hot water!) because it was cold and rainy, but it looked awesome and I for sure want to use when I go back next -- and I definitely want to go back! I went for a solo getaway this time, but it would also be a great couples retreat. The land is so beautiful and I loved walking around to look at the huge iron art pieces scattered throughout. The energy was peaceful, artistic, and beautiful. The rain made it kind of mystical, but I'd love to back when clear to see the sunrise. Thank you ,Tom for sharing this wonderful place!
