Wonderful cabin
The cabin is wonderful and had everything I needed. It was an easy drive to Joshua Tree NP. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Joshua Tree. The host was very responsive. I enjoyed my stay

Cozy retreat!
The cowboy retreat was as advertised and was a lovely, quiet place to seek some intentional solitude and peace away from the hustle and bustle. Close to Joshua Tree and to my favorite spots in Yucca Valley and Flamingo Heights. I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend this to any other solo adventurer or couple for a getaway!
