Beautiful retro getaway
We had a great time at this beautiful residence. Perfect location for exploring the park and the town of Joshua Tree. They communicated that the oven was broken prior to our stay and it turned out the gas grill was not very functional either - they were accommodating with us but I would check with them on the status of those appliances if you're planning to cook. The living room and dining room are very comfortable for a group. Unfortunately the beds aren't very comfortable and none of us got a very good nights sleep.
