Thoroughly enjoyed this adorable- space adventure home. I wish I brought the family. It has so many great aspects to it. We enjoyed the spa, the swings, the deck. The kitchen is fabulous. The large sliding doors gave us a great view of the patio. We loved it. It was about 10 minutes from the national Park entrance.

Birthday Getaway!
This tiny home was anything but tiny when it came to charm and comfort! Came out for a couples’ birthday getaway and loved every minute. The space is super roomy and decorated with the cutest touches. The cowboy pool and hot tub were major highlights in the cute backyard. We spent hours in the hammocks by the fire pit just soaking in the desert vibes. Quick drive to Joshua Tree or cool modern spots if you’re feeling social. And shoutout to Sara! The host with the most! Friendly, fast to respond, and just all around awesome. We’ll definitely be back!

An Out of This World Experience
The Mars House offered a wonderfully accommodating range of amenities that made us feel like valued guests. This spacious two bedroom, one bath retreat features an artistic space-themed interior with polished floors, whimsical neon lighting, and broad sliding glass windows looking out over the serene Joshua Tree Desert. My partner and I came to the house for his birthday, and we were totally blown away. The hot tub's warmth felt inviting after a long day exploring the trails and boulders of the national park, and we were entranced by the vast field of stars in the night sky later in the evening. There were a great selection of restaurants in the area within just a 15 minute drive. Although we didn't make use of the fire pit or the hammocks, it was cool to know they were available for us during our stay. Overall we were pleasantly surprised by this hidden gem in the desert, and we would love to return sometime soon!

Desert dream
I love the high desert. Visiting Joshua Tree has always been on my travel destination list. Staying at the Mars house made it an even better experience. After a long day in the park, coming back to this little oasis was perfect. All the furniture is very comfortable. The atmosphere is calm and cozy. Sitting out under the stars with a full moon shining was amazing. If it had been warmer during our visit we would have used the cowboy pool! This "tiny home" is not tiny at all. It is very open and airy. Love that the entire side of the main living space is sliding glass doors! We enjoyed our breakfast outside while the sun was rising. So beautiful. We would definitely stay here again. The only thing missing is an outdoor grill.
