Really couldn't ask for more. This property has everything my family needed and more. The hosts really put thought into every aspect of this rental to make it feel like a home. The cactus garden in the front is spectacular, the pool and hot tub were extremely clean as was the rest of the property. We will definitely plan a future stay to this amazing place!

The stargazing retreat is exactly what we needed to celebrate a milestone birthday with two dear friends. It was spacious, clean, very private and quiet. Doreen was extremely responsive the two times we needed to be in touch. I would highly recommend her as a host and the stargazing retreat, a place to stay.

This house is amazing. The pool, the hot tub, the location is beyond any potential improvement or comment I might have. Floating in the pool at night you felt like you were in space, you could see every star so clearlyDoree was beyond amazing as a host. Evidently it couldn’t book for the night I wanted to so she gave me a discount and it worked out phenomenally. I have yet to see a host to be more responsive and accommodating especially one attached to such a wonderful property. Thank you so much Doree and we will certainly be back.

We just spent 3 nights at La Bandita and had a wonderful time. The house is clean, well stocked, the beds are very comfortable, and the large enclosed backyard was just right for our dog to enjoy, sunset watching, and stargazing. The pool and hot tub are clean but the weather was too cold and windy for swimming this time which gives us a reason to return. The neighborhood is quiet but close to town and the host is very welcoming and responsive although everything was just right and we didn’t need anything. Can’t wait to return to La Bandita.

Wonderful stay at the boundary of Joshua Tree

The property lies slightly elevated so you have a view of the valley. Especially the lights at night are beautiful. It’s quiet and relaxing.

Very accommodating hosts, and I highly recommend this VRBO. The pool, the Jacuzzi, and the fire pit, and the amazing Desert wildlife is just an experience that you have to have. The xeriscaping is exquisite, and beautifully complements the surrounding desert, terrain, as well as the property itself. Highly recommended!!!!

We've stayed in many vacation houses before and this one has been our favorite. The house is light and bright and full of personality. We visited in April, and the desert garden was beautifully in bloom. Rabbits, ravens, and hummingbirds flitted through. The pool was too cold to use (outdoor temps were 70, with wind sometimes) but the hot tub was just right. I loved reading the recipe books on the swinging chairs outside and my kids loved the hammocks. The beds were comfy, and the neighborhood so quiet that I got some of the best sleep of my life. I can't recommend this place enough!

Pleasant and relaxed

We had a great time here, everything was clean and comfy and the communication with the owner was easy and nice. She also recommended a great little hike (Friendly Hill) close to the house which we enjoyed a lot! We also had fun watching the rabits in the front yard. Thank you for this pleasant stay!

Christmas at Joshua Tree

Beautiful property! The pictures are accurate. Stylish and comfortable! The kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed. We hiked Joshua Tree several days and came back each day to the hot tub to relax under the stars. Dessert was s’mores at the fire pit. The house provided a picture perfect vacation.

Best Experience Ever

My friends and I booked this rental property and had the most relaxing and rejuvenating experience. We had been wanting to go to Jtree for a couple of months never finding the right house. This house is minutes away from the park's back entrance, its spacious, it has a hot tub and a fire it to enjoy stargazing. I even jumped in the pool and swam for a little bit. It was also super clean and the host, Dory was very communicative. I will definitely be coming back !
