A perfect experience
Wonderful stay in a beautiful property. Perfect location for our weekend exploring Joshua Tree NP. Unfortunately, it was a little cold to enjoy some of the outdoor amenities but star gazing and moon viewing from the hot tube was amazing! Host was very responsive. The only downside is that we didn't stay longer. Thank you to the host for the awesome experience.

Absolutely would stay again
This property is clean and well maintained and contains all the amenities you could possibly want or need. It is less than 4 minutes from the West Entrance to the Joshua Tree National Park, which is convenient and also means it is fairly secluded. It's incredibly quiet and feels very private. Property management anticipated any potential issues (like wrong directions from GPS) and gave helpful information for check in and check out procedures.
I am very very happy with my stay.
The location was outstanding with easy access to the park. The property itself was perfection: chic, stylish, well appointed, very clean, and in a dark area where the stars were visible and spectacular. Great communication with staff.
This was an incredible place - the place was well kept, felt modern and had everything we needed to cook meals in and relax. The sky was great for stargazing and the sliding doors even let you view the stars from inside while you sleep if you turned off all the lights. The amenities were awesome - a fire fixture, a hot tub, indoor/outdoor shower, and multiple places to sit and relax outside. The property felt secluded but was still not too far from the main road so eating out and going to the park felt easy as well. We saw a good amount of wildlife which was really cool to see - while we were barbecuing a jackrabbit even ran by. It was close enough to the entrance of the park that a lot of the life we’ve seen visiting the park in the past but haven’t seen outside the park was out here as well. All in all we’d definitely recommend

Desert sunsets are the best!
This place is very clean, well cared for, nicely decorated and well stocked. All the necessities that you could ask for and what a gorgeous view of Yucca Valley and the sunset, from anywhere in the house! The only drawback is that the neighborhood is getting more crowded and there is a new home being built that sullies the nice view from the kitchen. Not much can be done about that as it seems that this area is very popular as it is literally at the edge of the National Park. Hopefully the view towards the valley stays unobstructed for awhile longer!

Really enjoyed and took advantage of everything the house had to offer -- outstanding stargazing from the hot tub, solitude, scenery, indoor and outdoor showers, close proximity to the park, well-supplied kitchen, etc. Highly recommend!

Great getaway
The house is ideally located for enjoyment of Joshua Tree National Park. It’s very tastefully decorated, very well equipped, and very thoughtfully managed. The house is very private, though we did have visits from hummingbirds, orioles, jackrabbits, a hawk and a lone coyote. Nighttime stargazing was enhanced by the availability of the hot tub and the fire pit. A great experience.

Chill Pad Close Next the Park
Everything about this house was perfect - comfortable, secluded, seconds to the park. Very lovingly designed with everything you need on vacation including a large living space, tons of outdoor room and a beautiful hot tub with views of the stars. It is probably two minutes from the main park entrance, so you can explore as much as you want and get back to luxury when you are tired.

Awesome house close to the park
Everything was perfect about this home. It is literally 2 minutes to the park entrance and about 5 down to JT Village. The house is a great modernist space that was obviously designed for vacation rentals - big open living space, very private bedrooms with separate baths, tons of outdoor living space including a hot tub and one of the best firepits we have ever seen. A well-stocked kitchen and hotel-like amenities (great pillows, towels & linens, yummy shampoo, etc) make it an ideal spot.
