Great stay close to Joshua Tree National Park. The house is roomy with a great outdoor setup. We enjoyed the corn hole, propane fire, and the night stars. The house is definitely a bit worn around the edges, but everything worked, and it was quite comfortable for our 3 night stay. There are lots of great extras to entertain groups, although we had to put away some of the more fascinating things to keep our 4 year old from being TOO entertained and breaking things. The host was welcoming and responsive. We had a hiccup at check in and Allen very quickly remedied the situation without argument. We would stay here again.

This place is AWESOME. Super easy to get to and conveniently located just minutes from everything including Joshua Tree National Park, food, the grocery store, etc. The backyard had to be our favorite spot. Comfy shag turf to protect our tootsies while enjoying the hot tub, fire pit, and outside games all while observing nature. The backyard was made for recreating and relaxing! We used the hot tub everyday after hiking and climbing while staring up at the stars. The inside was also awesome. Comfy beds, extra fans, and a cool living room. Pool table, arcade games, and a smart tv. This place has EVERYTHING you need for a great trip. Do yourself a favor and come stay here!!! Oh yeah, and Allen was super communicative and was a pleasure to rent from. We’ll be back!
