The house was the perfect setting for a chill weekend with my best friends celebrating my birthday. We got the integration and had a hamachi dinner at the house arranged through avantstay. It was excellent!

Had a group of 10 of us and we all were so comfortable here. Having a bathroom per bedroom was perfect. The management was very responsive when we had questions and even dropped off a little present for us during our trip! The living areas were all large enough to accommodate the group. The fenced backyard was perfect for lounging in the sun and was sheltered from the wind. Location was close to everything! Would definitely stay here again.

We're thrilled to hear that your group of 10 was so comfortable in our home and that the living space exceeded your expectations. Delivering exceptional customer service and creating memorable experiences for our guests are our top priorities, and we are glad that you and your group had such a fantastic stay. We would be honored to host you again next time!
The property was great!! I booked it for 8 people but 4 bailed at the last minute; so I can't really say much about how well the house worked for a full group. It was luxurious for the four of us.
The pool/hot tub controls are a little complicated to use. And the tub/shower needs a grab bar. All else was super.

It sounds like you had a great stay Owen, even if your group ended up being smaller than expected! It must have felt extra luxurious with just the four of you. While it’s good to hear that most things were super, the pool/hot tub controls being a bit tricky and the lack of a grab bar in the tub/shower are definitely things that could be improved for future guests. Thanks for sharing your thoughts—your feedback can help make this property even better!
Beautiful clean home with plenty to do both indoors and outdoors. We had WiFi issues when were there and it was hard to get in touch with managers because cell reception was not good. The willingness and effort they put in to resolve our issue was great once we got a hold of them. It’s an amazing property though and we would stay again but maybe not for work but for unplugging and resting.

Hi, Aya! Thank you for taking the time to review. We're sorry to hear you encountered issues during your stay with us, but it's good to know that all the issues were eventually resolved and you ultimately had a good stay. We look forward to hosting you again.
Had a wonderful stay in the Lava Rocks property with myself and 7 other guests. Very clean and modern. We were surprised with how large all of the rooms were, the photos online don’t do them justice, it was extremely spacious. Having 4 bathrooms was amazing, we were able to dedicate one bathroom per pair of guests. This property is definitely able to accommodate plenty of people without feeling cramped. Plenty of places to sit and hangout and play games. The pool was awesome and we spent a lot of time outside relaxing when we weren’t away. The property manager was very responsive with any questions we had. I would absolutely book this stay again next time I visit Joshua Tree.

Hello! We appreciate you detailing your stay! Thank you for your kind words, and rest assured that we will use your review to further improve our service. Thanks again!
Excellent experience! The house was clean, spacious and well equipped. It worked wonderfully for our large group of mixed ages and interests. Location was perfect for our early risers who could access Black Rock Canyon without having to drive. Perfect for a large family gathering or friend group as there is lots of privacy and bathrooms as well as large communal areas.
