Very clean and comfortable
Very professional host! And the beds were sooo comfortable! The house was clean and easy to function (lights, tv, a/c). The location was exactly what we needed (close to downtown and park entrance). Simple check-in and check-out. There were a couple missing/broken amenities but nothing that we couldn't live without or work around. I'll point these out to the host, and I'm pretty confident they'll be fixed asap. All around a great stay. I would stay here again.

Fun family road trip to Joshua Tree!
My family and I spent 2 days here - me, my husband, our 2 daughters (ages 11 and 7), and our dog. The house was perfect for us! It is a short drive to Joshua Tree National Park for the most amazing hiking. We brought food with us to prepare for dinner and the kitchen was well-stocked for simple cooking. The kids loved exploring the yard and getting in the hot tub. There was a bit of a learning curve getting the hot tub heated to the right temperature and getting the fire pit lit. Unfortunately, it was too cloudy at night for us to enjoy any stargazing, but the kids loved lounging in the the hammocks. Overall, we recommend staying at the Mojave Ranch!

Perfect desert retreat!
We had a great time at this perfect desert retreat. We had our 3yo with us and the location was absolutely perfect for exploring not only the park, but also Joshua Tree and 29 Palms. We liked being a little outside of town because the drive in either direction was so easy and beautiful. Our little one had a great time exploring the yard and the hammocks and hot tub and we loved the house so much that we were more than happy to have early outings and then hang out at the house, eat, and wait for the spectacular sunset and stargazing. You will not be disappointed here.

Great outdoor spaces
Loved this cool little house. It's clean, comfortable and stylish. The outdoor space is pretty cool. Loved stargazing from the hammocks and sitting around the gas fireplace.

Quiet home in the desert
Overall the house lived up to our expectations. It was a bit off the beaten path down a dirt road, which added to its charm. It was very clean, which is important to us. We were pleasantly surprised by how quiet it was in the desert. The home is conveniently located close to the park entrance. The only downside was the hot tub was a bit on the hot side. I recommend this property.
