Beautiful place to stay for the weekend. The place was clean & decorated beautifully. Loved the backyard with the lights and all the amenities it included - such as a hot tub, sauna and cold plunge. Brought my whole family here and we felt so comfortable all weekend. Really appreciated the house manual & the instructions for an easy check in.
Shirley⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great find! Very close to Joshua Tree National Park! Also close to a pottery class. The pictures match the inside! The hot tub was fabulous. It was a wonderful desert get away!
Hannah⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The location was perfect! So close to the 29 Palms entrance of the park. We were able to go explore for a few hours and then head right back to the house to relax and use the amenities. I used the sauna pretty much every day. The kids had a great time. The house was just what our large group needed. Hosts were extremely attentive and responded within minutes if we needed anything.
Angela⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My group and I had a great time during our stay here! The place was clean and exactly like the pictures. It was also super close to the Joshua Tree National Park entrance so it was a breeze going to the park especially at night to stargaze. Overall, I would definitely recommend!
Christine⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We really enjoyed our stay. Our group of 8 had plenty of room in the home. It was very nice being able to soak in the hot tub and enjoy the sauna and cold plunge after a day hiking in Joshua Tree. The outdoor space is peaceful. The home is located close to Twentynine Palms and the park entrance. We would stay here again.

Very spacious with tons of amenities. We specially enjoyed the hot tub after hiking at JTNP. Convenient location, very close to the park.

Rieman⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So convenient to Joshua Tree National Park, and we thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, sauna and cold plunge! The kitchen was well applianced, the bedrooms comfortable.
