Beautiful outdoor space and views. Place is very zen. On,y weirdness is that the kitchen has no water. You use the bathroom sink ( which is oversized).

Desert getaway

Pamela's place was exactly as the pictures portray. This is a cute, eclectic desert getaway. The location was perfect for getting to the national park quickly. The morning views of the sunrise from inside were incredible. The neighborhood was quiet. There was a little noise from the unit next door but that was expected and we were respectful of each other's space. The check in and out process was seamless and Pamela gave us a ton of information about things to do in the area. I would definitely recommend this location for a Joshua Tree visit and would stay here again.

Lovely desert retreat

My husband and I just spent a beautiful weekend hiking throughout the park and had this serene getaway to look forward to every night. Everything was as described, cozy as can be, and Pamela could not have been more pleasant and easy to communicate with. We would definitely go back. Thank you, Pamela!

New year's reset

Wanted to have a one night reset with my wife and daughter on the first of the year.It was perfect. Very private at the end of the road with beautiful decor and vibe. Very quiet and low light so it was a perfect place to watch the stars during a lovely fire outside.The bed was very comfortable and overall very clean. Next time i will bring some food to grill.
