Escape to the Desert, Unwind Under the Stars

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, family retreat, or a friends’ desert escape, La Mirada is designed for relaxation and connection.

First off, the communicatiob with Lynn was top notch-very friendly, helpful, and personable. Check-in went without a hitch. My teo cattle dogs loved running around playing frisbee and ball in the backyard. The jacuzzi was awesome soaking in there at sunset was rejuvenating. You got a fireplace inside and a firepit outside which ai did some cooking on. There was all the amenities of home-great water pressure, instant hot water, filtered water at the kitchen sink, a crankin' ice maker, ping pong in the garage, washer & dryer, hiking down the street, lots ofbdvd's

The house is perfect for a family with kids, or just someone that has a dog (or both!). The location is a perfect distance from the park and downtown. The house is amazingly decorated, and has absolutely everything you could need to cook with in the kitchen. The backyard is fantastic, and has comfortable chairs to sit out and enjoy the beautiful night sky and weather. We could have easily stayed another week and still not seen all the great things. Check in was super simple, and the hosts are wonderfully responsive (and we only had simple questions, zero issues). My family would love to stay there again in the future, as it was the perfect combination of size, amenities, and location.

Last minute decision for an overnighter. Found this little gem. Great communication from the start. Very cute place with everything you need.

Quiet, comfortable home near Joshua Tree

The house was exactly as listed on VRBO! It had everything we needed, was comfortable and nicely accommodated 4 adults and 2 children, ages 10 &11. The neighborhood was quiet and a short distance to the West entrance of the park. The ping pong table in the garage and the hot tub in backyard were enjoyable amenities. I would definitely recommend this place.

Perfect Base for Exploring Joshua Tree Nat Park

First time visitor to Joshua Tree and this was a great location to access the park and local establishments. Can't say enough about the host's communication. It was in the 30's the night we arrived and there was no heat due to the pilot light being out. They sent a video showing how to light the pilot light on their home immediately and we had heat! We would stay there again when back in the area.

The house was just the right size for our family gathering: me and my husband, my sister and her 2 kids ages 9 and 6. We were close to the National Park and had an exciting scavenger hunt with the kids.

A great spacious and comfortable home

I came from the UK to meet my family here and we had a lovely time. The house was a relaxed and comfortable place to stay with lots of space for everyone. It had everything you might want, much more so than many other places I’ve stayed. It is a short drive to shops and a short walk to a beautiful nature preserve. The outside space is also very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.
