Our stay at the backyard bnb was lovely! The home and amenities were great! The beds were AMAZING! We fully took advantage of the pickeball court and ping pong table. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and ice bath after a long day of exploring Joshua Tree Park (which was a very close drive).The host, Addison, was quick with responding as well when we had a couple questions. We definitely recommend this vrbo!

Check in was simple once we figured out there was a link sent (My fault). The house was great, it was everything we were looking for. Secure garage parking was nice. The pool and hot tub were heated prior to our arrival and to perfect temps. Plenty of games and entertainment. Loved the fire pit as well. We would definitely go again. Thank you!
