Engage in friendly games of horseshoes or bocce ball near the firepit, and end your day stargazing from the hammocks.

Cute Mid-Century Modern Decor Ranch Style Desert Home

Property is as represented on VRBO. Super cute decor. Stargazing from the hot tub at night was a highlight for sure. Very comfortable and solid amenities. A few glitches like no kitchen towels, funky dish soap dispenser that didn’t really work well, and not enough toilet paper or paper towels for our stay, plus the floors were gritty and the hot tub didn’t seem very clean. But the place is cute, easy to get to town & Joshua Tree. I would stay here again.

Secluded and peaceful

A beautiful dwelling. Secluded yet close to amenities. Modern finishes and it was stocked with essentials. We enjoyed the privacy and the screened patio the most. We both noted that the cleanliness standard was a bit low. The kitchen shelves were very dirty, the window sill in the spare bedroom was full of sand and we noted that a few dishes needed a reclean before use. Perhaps this was a "one-off". Overall we would recommend this unit.

Great place to vist

We loved this place and really enjoyed our time, although it was a bit far from Joshua Tree Park. But, being remote was really nice. Great hosts as well who checked in on us.

Desert getaway

We loved this vacation rental. It was located away from other houses so there was privacy and few lights so we could enjoy the stars. It was well equipped for us and our dog loved being outside and walking in the desert. It is the perfect desert get away.

Adorable home base for Joshua Tree adventures

The home is just as pictured- very well decorated and stocked with essentials, clean plates/glasses, and comfortable bedding. Host was very communicative and helpful when we had questions. We would definitely stay here again - probably in the warmer season so we could enjoy more of the amenities like the screened in porch area and cowboy pool. Hot tub was great and clean- it was chilly & windy during our stay but we still managed to use it twice. Fire pit was very cute and they have blankets to take out there. The location was good for both entrances of Joshua Tree, about 15-25 mins I believe.
