The PERFECT spot for a relaxing getaway with easy access to all things outdoors, while not being too far away from cute shops and some darn good pizza (amongst other things). Our host was easy to get a hold of and super accommodating when we had questions. Such a great spot for casual stargazing!

Perfect Prairie Paradise
Shadow Mountain was the perfect prairie paradise I was looking for to spend some time in Joshua Tree.The home had all the modern conveniences I needed to prepare for, and decompress after, time in Joshua Tree National Park.The home was easy to access, close enough to the area essentials, and would love to visit again soon.
