Great desert country retreat nestled in the foothills to Joshua Tree National Park. Fantastic views, wildlife and scenery, and wonderful landscaping throughout the property.
We really enjoyed the property. Its stylish , comfortable, and private. Great grounds with koi pond , jacuzzi, lots of comfortable outdoor seating. Its near the park entrance for Joshua Tree, and close to town, yet semi secluded. My family and i loved our stay there.
We all enjoyed the stay. Hiking around the property, soaking in hot tub, having meals outside. Unfortunately fire pit was not working, we would have enjoyed staying outside longer into the night. Would suggest clearer off road directions to the property. Overall a beautiful location & a great time by all. Would love to come back sometime.
Our visit to the Moonbeam Mountain house was spectacular. The house had everything you need and more. We all wish we could have stayed longer. Loved our walks out the backdoor into the boulders and even hot tubbing in the rain! The layout of the home is perfect for guests who love to come together but also can get some space when they need it. Def would recommend and will be back. Thanks for the awesome stay!
Lovely home with 3 separate (but attached) units, making it an ideal location for multi generational families of 3 - 4 couples. The location is a bit remote but a close drive to the park gate or into Joshua Tree town. Ate great meals at Crossroads Cafe and Sky High Pie and went on some amazing hikes in the park. Would definitely recommend the home - a few more towels/linens would be great especially if you are a large group. Note no washer/dryer and clothes get dirty and dusty when hiking so bring multiples.
While it took us a bit of time to find our way to the property, it was worth it! There were hidden gems about the property that we were discovering until the morning we left. We appreciated the thoughtful layout, decor, and cleanliness of the houses. My only suggestion would be to make the smaller unit as marvelous as the other 2 units. We are looking forward to a longer stay there ( we were there only 1 night) in the future.
What an awesome “compound” nestled against gorgeous Joshua Tree rocks and surrounded by outstanding landscaping. We had two couples and one single adult and enjoyed being able to spread out or come together as we chose. The kitchen was beautiful and generously stocked with dishes, silverware, pots & pans and glasses. The main house, guest house (casitas) and separate room were all decorated nicely and with style. The property has a small pond in the back with an outdoor dining area above it, and we enjoyed watching the wildlife from the backyard areas. Only negatives were the directions and lack of street signage. Need to be more explicit about not using any map apps for the last part of the journey AND EXPLAIN WHY. The various map apps will take you to a locked gate down a very narrow dirt road that you have to back down from. There is an another very narrow dirt road that you have to turn left on (Larkspur Lane) from Rincon Road that has no sign. Maybe give exact mileage from where you turn off of Quail Springs Road to Rincon Road. From Rincon Road to Larkspur Lane (which has no sign) and from Larkspur Lane to Wagon Wheel Road, etc.
This place is gorgeous! 3 different sleeping areas made this the perfect spot for a group of adults who want a bit of seclusion. Super comfortable couches, hot tub, outdoor seating, stocked kitchen, lovely outdoor landscaping. This is a Joshua Tree escape in luxury. Highly recommend.
