My family and I spent 2 days here - me, my husband, our 2 daughters (ages 11 and 7), and our dog. The house was perfect for us! It is a short drive to Joshua Tree National Park for the most amazing hiking. We brought food with us to prepare for dinner and the kitchen was well-stocked for simple cooking. The kids loved exploring the yard and getting in the hot tub. There was a bit of a learning curve getting the hot tub heated to the right temperature and getting the fire pit lit. Unfortunately, it was too cloudy at night for us to enjoy any stargazing, but the kids loved lounging in the the hammocks. Overall, we recommend staying at the Mojave Ranch!
