My partner and I, our daughter (5), and our young dog stayed at the Hummingbird for our first visit to Sandy Valley Ranch. We arrived at 3 pm for check-in. It was hot (to be expected) but the desert cools down fast as soon as the sun goes down. There's a small AC unit that cools the house down quickly.
The spot is simple and sweet. Birds everywhere (including nesting in the awning of the house which my daughter loved). The house is right near the road which is not busy at all- but we didn't feel comfortable letting our dog run loose. We immediately felt welcome wandering around the ranch. There are goats, horses, free-range pigs, chickens, and some nice, friendly working dogs (a chihuahua, a heeler, and a german shepherd). The people working at the ranch were very welcoming.
The fold-out couch is very small but firm. The little loft is so cozy and offers a great view of the sunrise. The little hummingbird stain glass window was a favorite. They have everything you need including spices and a coffee maker.
We didn't need wi-fi so didn't use it and had no problem getting cell coverage. The shower is adequate but not something to look forward to.
We will be back, but with the three of us plus the dog, we might go ahead and book the next-door wagon. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
