This was the perfect place to stay for our extended weekend trip to Joshua Tree National Park. The place was in a great location, clean, cozy and had a great outdoor space. Would definitely stay again if ever in the area.
This is a great place to stay near Joshua Tree National Park and a short drive from downtown Joshua Tree. It’s a beautiful home, very comfortable and has great amenities. The fire pit, hot tub and back porch swings all added to a great vacation.
Location was great, the home was beautiful, and the backyard was perfect for a relaxing weekend with family. Hiking trails nearby to enjoy the outdoors and scenery. Would recommend and would definitely book again.
Stayed here with some friends for my 30th birthday and the house was in the perfect location. Hikes near by as well as restaurants and grocery store is not too far. Overall great stay in this beautiful home.
We stayed with some friends and absolutely loved the property. We used the outside space a lot, enjoyed the hot tub, loved the location and the coffee options were super. We would return for sure.
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024

Cool Spot
This property had so many fun aspects to it. The hot tub, horse shoe and fire pit. Our girls loved sitting in the basket chairs and the hot tub.
The Home is exactly like the listening. This was a girls trip, and we had a marvelous time. Beautiful home. Would definitely stay here again. Very close to grocery stores and restaurants.
Everything about this place was perfectly described. Had my family of 4 along with my in-laws and everyone had room to go and relax.
Close to stores, restaurants and the park. We were able to do everything we wanted.
Thank you for a great visit.
Only 2 nights, and wished we had more time to just hangout and enjoy the house and well thought out amenities. Property manager was quickly accessible to answer a question when we arrived. So glad we picked this over a few others we considered.
I stayed at this place for one night with a group of friends. The house was wonderfully decorated and in terms of its cleanness, it was impecabble. The patio area was perfect for bbqing and chilling. The host was also immensley helpful in a way that he was always responsive and even went the extra mile to mail me my personal belongings that I left behind. Again - it is an amazing place and I definitely recommend this property.
Overall the property was Good. Great location. Easy check in progress. Great back yard. The only complaint is the cleanliness. There was hair everywhere including the shower,linen, and the couch that folds out into a bed.
Easy to find, easy check in, clear detailed instructions. It was sincerely a home away from home. Thank you for your hospitality, it was a very comforting and beautiful soace for my family to enjoy Joshua Tree area. Close to the national park. Your detailed instructions helped make our stay easy and comfortable. Would definitely come visit again soon. Thanks again!
Spent the weekend at here to see Joshua Tree for my mom's 70th. The house is so cute, well stocked! The beds were beyond comfortable and everyone commented on how well they slept. The jacuzzi wasn't working when went. Home owners sent someone out to try and fix it. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to.
So first of all, this place is better than the photos. It is beautiful inside and out. There is a gorgeous sunrise view from the master bedroom onto the backyard with the Joshua Tree outlined by the changing colors of the sky.
There are 3 tvs to hook up with your log ins, the bathrooms are beautiful - a modern art deco-ish style with phenomenal tiles (I want those tiles in our home!). We loved the large outdoor table to eat on the porch and we bundled up with blankets at the firepit with a glass of wine.
The location is close to three entrances to Joshua tree national park and close to downtown little shops in J Tree.
I recommend the JT trading post, JT Coffee and the Sun of the Desert shop. There are great farmers markets on Sat/Sun/Wed for fresh food. Sky High Pie (pizza) is fantastic. Please disregard whatever recent reviewer said about not enough plates or cutlery. There was everything anyone could need here. And if for some reason you need anything, you just have to text or message the owner, Westley, they are super responsive. I will stay here again if I ever get to come back. We live in North Carolina so it might be awhile. This place is truly fantastic. I used to rent my apt to travelers while I lived in Manhattan. I can tell what care it takes to do this, and these owners do it right. :) Thank you for our stay!
This is a beautiful property, and the house is pretty inside. We had six people, and stayed four nights. Sheets are soft, coffee is a nice touch. However, the listing doesn't feel 100% accurate. I do not NOT recommend you sleep more than four people in this place. There are no luggage racks, so more than four people you have no place to put your stuff. I also do not recommend staying longer than the weekend if you plan on cooking. The kitchen is not set up for an extended stay. (Only four chairs at the table, only five forks, four spoons and the can opener didn't work). Also the laundry is on demand, not readily available, we booked this house as the second leg of an extended trip and had to wait for the host to send us information on how to access the washer and dryer. Also the hot tub was kind of quirky, we had to follow up multiple times to have someone service it so it was warm. On the plus side the host is fast to reply. If you plan on eating out every meal, and just looking for a lovely weekend get away, book this place, it is great. If you have a bigger group and or need to use it more like an extended stay, keep looking.
I enjoyed my stay here. There seemed like an unlimited amount of activities to do. The hot tub was our favorite part as well as the outside activities.
The house was exactly as described, very clean and cutely decorated. The host was responsive and helpful throughout the stay, and I was able to have a fun and special weekend.
The entire experience was incredibly enjoyable from start to finish! Our family had so much fun playing games outside and in. The host decorated a welcoming, comfortable, and fun environment that made our stay extra special on top of its close proximity to Joshua Tree National Park!
Our trip to Joshua Tree National Forrest was complimented by this beautiful desert retreat. The location is only 15 minutes from the park entrance and 20 min from Pioneer Town for eats and gifts. I loves the house decor and the backyard was a blast for my family! I would recommend.
This was the perfect home for our family to stay. The house was beautiful with all necessary amenities. A short four minute drive to the Main Street with great food, shopping and coffee. Quick drive to the state park, Pioneer Town, and was able to check out some of the desert x art installations. Overall, would book again! Highly recommended.
