This was the perfect house for a getaway to Joshua Tree. Very close to the park, a wonderfully well-accomodated home, and exactly what my family and I were looking for! The host was so communicative, and we had just a delightful time. My kids (6 and 4) have already asked when we'll go back to the Joshua Tree house!

This property was everything we needed as a base for exploring Joshua Tree NP. We especially enjoyed the backyard outdoor space and gas grill. The kitchen was fully equipped with good quality dishes, pots and pans, flatware, serving ware, etc. The washer and dryer were handy. There were games available to play, a phone charging station and snacks! Every little detail helped make our stay stress free and enjoyable! We highly recommend this property.

Great stay

We loved the location - quiet but easy access to town and the park, great view, comfortable bed and indoor and outdoor spaces. Hosts were very responsive and we had everything we needed for a week of days spent hiking and mostly eating in. A few things could use some maintenance, but nothing that detracted from our stay.

I'm a photographer and teacher and fell in love with Joshua Tree the very first time I saw the beautiful landscape! When I’m not teaching, I spend my time in the desert…the beauty keeps my creative juices flowing. I love to read, hike, and travel, of course.
