We visited The Good House for a half-day spa pass and massage, and it was absolutely amazing. The property is beautiful, peaceful, lush, and feels like such a hidden little desert oasis. It was exactly the relaxing experience we were hoping for. I had my massage with Carlos, and he was truly incredible. He was professional, attentive, made me feel completely comfortable, and gave one of the best massages I’ve ever had. I would absolutely request him again. The half-day pass was the perfect amount of time to enjoy the pools, relax, have a drink, and really unwind. I loved the atmosphere so much that I would absolutely consider coming back for an overnight solo stay in the future. Such a special place and easily one of the highlights of our trip.
Our first stay at The Good House was a 10 out of 10! We live locally and when we need an "unwind", we choose a local boutique hotel/spa. While we have two local favorites, we elected to try TGH for this trip. It is now tied for #1 for our Desert Hot Springs spots! The room was SPOTLESS, tastefully decorated and well appointed. The grounds are well kept, lots of comfy spaces to curl up with your book (or take a nap!) and there are gorgeouse, mature TREES that keep the direct desert heat off of you. The food? Oh my goodness, Chef Van is up there with any of the best in the Valley AND he treats you like royalty! We will back and I just want to say Well Done The Good House Team! Bethany and Pat 7-2026
Despite one issue during our stay, I want to give credit where credit is due. The team at The Good House listened to our concerns, responded professionally, and ultimately made things right. The property itself is beautiful, peaceful, and incredibly relaxing. The hot springs, intimate atmosphere, and charming boutique setting made for a memorable getaway. As a business owner myself, I know that what truly defines a company isn't whether challenges arise, but how they're handled. I appreciate the management team for addressing our concerns and for their commitment to guest satisfaction.
Spent the weekend here for my partner’s bday. What a gem!! The rooms are clean and cuter than the photos. I didn’t realize both pools were warm until we got there, but it was so pleasantly surprising. Van is such a sweetie. You can tell he cooks with so much love and care. The BBQ chicken was out of this world. We cannot wait to come back! Only thing I didn’t realize is that kitchen hours do not extend to dinner, time so plan accordingly and bring bug spray for the evening :)
Really a delight. You'll want to move in. And my doggie has a wonderful time as well. The only service we did not enjoy was the sound bath, which was an add-on.
