We really enjoyed the quiet of this property and the beautiful views of the foothills. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Mike, the owner answered all of our questions on a timely manner. One of our reasons for picking this rental was to view the August Perseid meteor showers. Having a great open viewing area and very little light pollution, we had a great time.We would definitely stay here again.

The guests posted a photo of a display containing turquoise jewelry. This display is not at Trabucco Gardens. Perhaps it is a display at the local mining and mineral museum.

Beautiful property, only 15 minutes from town, lovely little cabin with a really unique layout. The porch is great for sitting, sipping, and basking in the quiet. Far enough away from things for the stars to really pop! Only critique is if you like to cook, the cookware is all teflon and I recommend BYO chefs knife/cutting board.

Beautiful place with minimal road noise. The turkeys visited every morning and the place was dog friendly. The telescope was very cool. There was bbq stuff all ready to go thanks to the host who supplied briquettes, fire starter, lighter, and utensils. We are definitely coming back!!!
