Such a fun house-minutes from Joshua Tree National Park

I highly recommend this house for its excellent location and uniqueness. 3 very comfortable bedrooms and 2 full baths allowed us to spread out. The outdoor space is amazing - from the pool to the roof deck and garage door to the kitchen - we spent so much time outside enjoying the sunrise and star gazing. Could not find a better location if planning a trip to Joshua Tree

Absolutely wonderful

The place was perfect for a mom and two teen boys. The beds were comfortable, the amenities were lovely, and the place was close to everything Joshua Tree. I thought it was a very reasonable price for all the things that were included. And the pool was a hit with my kids.

Relaxing unique experience

Everything from booking to the stay was with ease. Location was easy to find and accessible to stores if needed but remote enough to relax and enjoy the night time desert sky.

a quiet, unique space

I've always wanted to experience staying in a container home, and it was a great, relaxing experience. The home is very clean. I imagine it can get very hot but they have cooling/heating units throughout the space. We did not need to use them, we have beautiful March temperatures. It's surrounded by mountain views and on the edge of the park.

Orange & Blues

The attention to detail was appreciated . The color palette (blue /orange ) was pleasing interior and exterior. Lots of space and spots for quietness. The neighborhood is also devoid for the most part of city noises. Great place to contemplate, read and just relax.
