Reviews

My cousin and I really enjoyed our stay here. The beds were comfortable and the location feels a bit off-grid in the desert. It's very dark at night, so we could see the stars! We also enjoyed playing with the assortment of games in the house. One thing to note is that the water pressure in the kitchen sink and bathroom tub is low, but I knew that prior to booking by looking at previous reviews. The bathroom sink, shower, and dish washer work fine so it was not a problem. I also loved how close we were to the national park entrance. The host was super communicative and left clear instructions for everything so we didn't have any issues. Overall this was a great place to stay for our first Joshua Tree trip!

The stay was nice and peaceful, and I truly felt right at home. The location was private and quiet, yet close enough to town to easily get anything I needed. It was the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. I would definitely book another stay here.

I really enjoyed my stay here! It's secluded, very quiet and perfect for stargazing. The home was very cozy & Jonathan was very friendly and attentive of our needs. My partner and I had a wonderful time and we would definitely stay here again in the future!

Property is situated on 5 acres and has space for RV parking to the left of the house and has a driveway in front of the home. The perk of staying here unlike other nearby airbnbs is that its really close to highway 62 which means you won't off road a while until you actually reach your airbnb. No 4x4/4WD needed. Be sure to check out our guide book for ideas on where to go and visit while in the local area.
