Desert hospitality for the feral, the philosophical, and the sublime.

We had a great time at the Library and would absolutely stay again. The property was beautiful and both Tao and Sarah were very friendly and accommodating. Should we find ourselves back down this way, we would definitely book another stay!

I’ve never stayed in a place like the institute before. I am so fascinated with the town of bombay beach and its art displays. The institute looked to be the best property in town and it did not disappoint. There are many friendly peacocks and their babies roaming and many art displays on the property to observe. Inside the house there is tasteful artwork decorating the walls. The AC works well, as well as the fridge and freezer so it was great to have in the summer. The locals made us feel so welcomed as soon as we arrived. We’d love to come back soon and meet more people in the cooler season.

10/10 and will definitely be visiting again. my fiance and I stayed for 3 days and felt right at home. The location was easy to find with the directions given to us. upon arriving , we were able to easily access the sparten, which was beautiful inside and out. fresh sheets, towels, and multiple fans and even a A.C unit, I dont think its possible to list all the amazing amenties they included in our stay, but we were very happy to see that the sparten included its own personal fire pit and grill. the outdoor patio and pool/hotub were always super clean and easy to access. we enjoyed everything. thank you for creating such a beautiful space!

We had a lovely, quiet stay at The Library. We spent most of our time cooking, relaxing and reading. Tao gave us great instructions, especially regarding directions, which were extremely helpful. Lovely home and lovely people!

Had a great time Staying at this place for the Weekend. It's so relaxing and Peaceful & the pool/Jacuzzi were just perfect. Felt so Comfortable staying here. The stars at night look so magical! Can't wait to come back and stay another time.

Excellent location in Bombay Beach! Right next to the Salton Sea. Great communication and inside info to make a perfect stay! Very unique experience! Highly recommended to experience an overnight in Bombay Beach

Last minute plan changes led to us not being able to stay at Tao's place at all, but I love everything I learned about him and his partners' spaces and what they are all about. Looking forward to a chance to finally visit the Salton Sea some day, and when I do get that chance I will certainly be looking up Tao's rental spaces to stay at!

My husband and I had a beautiful and cozy stay at this true gem of a property. The location is super convenient, right near the salton sea beach and at a walking distance to Bombay Beach’s many creative spots and attractions. An art lover’s absolute dream.

I’ve stayed with Tao before, but this was my first time at The Nest. I will gladly visit again. I love the location in Bombay Beach and the Nest had everything I needed and nothing to interrupt the peace and enjoyment I find here when I visit. Tao’s a wonderful host, the place was clean and comfortable, and most of all, serene, memorable, and incomparable.

Nice spot for a quick getaway. The pool and jacuzzi are definitely the highlights. The trailer gets extremely hot though—even with the AC on—so it’s tough to imagine staying here in peak summer. Host was responsive and easy to communicate with.
