Great desert escape
We had a great stay in Joshua Tree. The property itself is very welcoming and tranquil. It was a perfect escape from LA for a few days. Everything was clean and exactly as pictured. We walked to a trailhead for a nice hike in Black Rock canyon but spent most of our time by the pool relaxing.

One of the Best Stays We've Ever Had!
We booked this home for our step son’s birthday, and it truly exceeded all expectations. By far one of the best VRBO experiences we’ve ever had. The house was immaculate—super clean and thoughtfully designed for comfort and fun. Perfect for our family getaway!The location is amazing—tucked away at the end of a quiet court, it felt so private and peaceful. The amenities were incredible: a beautiful pool and hot tub, cozy fire pit in the backyard that was perfect for our s’mores night, corn hole, foosball, and more. The big, comfy couch in the living room was perfect for relaxing, and every bed was extremely comfortable as well. We also really appreciated the little sitting areas in each bedroom—such a nice touch.Skip and Monica were the perfect hosts—responsive, friendly, and genuinely accommodating. Thank you both for your wonderful hospitality. We’ll absolutely be back!

This home is so beautiful. The hosts communicated well with us and were very nice and helpful. Everything we could want was thought of. There were signs and directions throughout the house explaining how to work things. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub and pool. The beds were very comfy. This is our favorite vacation home we have stayed in.

Beautiful Vacation Getaway
So many great memories made during our stay. The house has everything you need plus some. One of the best rentals we have ever stayed at. The rental was extremely clean and we were all comfortable during our stay. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and the kids enjoyed the pool daily. We loved watching the sunrise from the jacuzzi and the sunsets were unbelievable. The Two living rooms were great allowing kids and the adults to have their own space. Kitchen stocked with everything you need tons of spices, nice quality pans and knives ready for the chef. Access to Joshua Tree trails pretty much from the backyard. A short walk up to the campground where you can jump on multiple trails. Warren Peak Trailhead is right there and had absolutely amazing views at the peak. Nice selection of local restaurants and stores as well as national chains right there. Highly recommend to anyone looking to stay close to it all.

After minutes on the property, you will want to give Skip and Monica 20 stars. Their communication is far superior to anything I’ve experienced with VRBO. The home looks just like the pictures. There are notes for any questions you may have while in home plus they even checked in on us. If you are planning a trip to Yucca Valley this is the place. Thank you Skip and Monica.

Hands down one of the best houses we've ever rented! Skip was extremely responsive, the house decor / layout / cleanliness was top tier. The beds were so comfortable, got some of the best sleep of my life there. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Quiet desert refuge
We were looking for a place to spend some time away from everything but desert, sun and sky, and this was perfect. The house was way too big for the two of us, but we felt entirely comfortable and the house would be wonderful for up to 8 folks -- four bedrooms, three bathrooms and lots of wonderful living spaces, indoors and out. Pretty much anything you might need/want is there, in a wonderful setting, with the pool/hot tub perfect for day or night. Be sure to have the pool heated if you're there in cooler weather -- this is really necessary even if you're only using the hot tub, as the water circulates between the pool and tub [and extra charge, but necessary]. For hiking, the house is right below a park with trails, but of course no one should miss visiting Joshua Tree National Park, which is very close.

Magical escape!
This property made me fall in love with the desert! Check in was seamless, Skip and Monica even let us check in early at no charge. The location of the property is great & neighborhood is very quiet, food & anything else you need is less than 10 min drive. The house was luxurious: immaculately clean, AC worked great, comfortable beds, the master bathroom was LOVELY. The interior design was tasteful. The layout of the house was well thought out, loved that the master bed, the living room, and the sitting area all had doors leading to the pool. The pool was the highlight - my family spent the majority of our time in the pool and hot tub. Huge back yard perfect for our dogs to run around. There was a nice shady area in the back, which was great because even during the heat of the day our dogs had somewhere to go that wouldn’t hurt their paws. The view from the back yard was breath taking. Loved doing yoga in the early morning out back - it was soo peaceful and relaxing. At night we saw the largest shooting star I have ever seen! It lit up the whole night sky for over a minute, my family and I were stunned. Such a wonderful getaway. Needless to say we did not want to leave!

This trip was comprised of 8 well traveled women and this was undoubtedly the most incredible vacation home we have ever stayed in! The house was immaculate in every facet. Being able to jump in the pool after coming home from hiking Joshua Tree to watching a movie on their cozy couch, all 8 of us could have stayed here forever.

This property is well located on the end of a cul-de-sac near the border of Joshua Tree National Park. The house is very well maintained and the owners obviously take pride in offering a great experience for their visitors. The bedrooms and baths are clean, comfortable and well equipped
The kitchen is open to a sitting area and the barbecue is just outside the kitchen door. Outside we enjoyed use of the pool and spa and looked at the night sky while sitting by the fire ring.

Nothing to do but relax
My husband and I stayed here with our two young adult children and it was a perfect spot to start our Joshua Tree adventures. The hosts were very responsive to questions before arrival and offered additional tips to enjoy both the home and the area.
The house is beautiful and so comfortable. We quickly felt right at home and every time I looked for something I needed it was easily found. The kitchen is well-appointed and we made good use of it and enjoyed most meals together at the house instead of out. There are great spaces to gather but also plenty of room to spread out and have a bit of privacy. All of us found the beds comfortable and really enjoyed the great room (living room).
The backyard was fun to explore and offered beautiful sunrise and sunset views. The hot tub was frequently enjoyed and was a great stargazing spot.
We loved that it felt a bit remote, but was just a quick trip to town and to the park. Everything was spotlessly clean and really offered all of the little things one could want in a getaway. Thank you, Skip & Monica, for being wonderful hosts and maintaining such a beautiful home for others to enjoy.
