A little bit of heaven

This place was everything we wanted and more! We were extremely delighted at the whole place Very clean, spacious, and dog friendly 💕 the only downside was there was no outside motion sensor lights so when the sun went down it was extremely dark aside from that everything was great! The game room was my fave highly recommend

Cute and Cozy place

Nicely upgraded, safe, cozy home with good sized backyard for family conveniently located 5 min from town. House is as described. Our only issues were that the jacuzzi was so over powered with chlorine that we were unable to stay in it for more than 5 min so that was a big bummer and the game room was fun but needs some attention like balls for basketball need air, dart game needs some care, pool sticks need replacing. We still enjoyed the house and the upgrades look very nice and the place was super clean. Nice sized kitchen to cook in! Perfect for a family of 4 to stargaze!

Joshua tree visit

Our first time visiting Joshua Tree. This house was the perfect location. 10 minutes from the west entrance, got to visit the park for bouldering and then back home for a rest and back at night for stargazing. The hot tub was great and the game room was very fun. A great stay.
