Nice place. Responsive property manager.

We enjoyed our stay. Property was well appointed and comfortable. Property manager was responsive when the place was not ready for our arrival (had not been cleaned after last rental). Manager offered a dinner out while we waited. All good.

Thanks Paul. Glad we were able to make it right and you were not inconvenienced for more than a couple of hours :) .. our cleaners had a car accident and were not able to make it in on time. When we found out it was already check-in time. Thanks for being so flexible and understanding. We appreciate it very much.

Close to Joshua Tree Park Entrances

The owners were super responsive to any questions or concerns we had. The property was spacious for 2 adults and 3 teenagers to enjoy time together. The proximity to JTNP was amazing, no waiting in line at the 29 Palms entrance. Kitchen was well-stocked, note there is no oven, but there is a microwave and toaster oven. The house was clean and had enough essential supplies like dishwasher pods and toilet paper. View of the mountains out of the front window. Excellent value for the price.

Lovely stay right next to Joshua Tree National Park

This is a beautiful, comfortable house right next to the back entrance to Joshua Tree. The house is beautifully decorated with plenty of sleeping space. We loved the little touches like the record player, soft towels, and fire pit. My only feedback for families is that there is a lot of kitsch in this property, which can be challenging for kids who want to touch all the things. The furniture is also older, so some of the chairs and tables are wobbly and need to be delicately handled. The kitchen table is a unique leaf design and part of the stopper is missing so if you aren't careful the leaf will come down with breakfast on it. We luckily caught this before an accident, but it made us adjust where we seated the kids. There's a big back yard with plenty of space for exploring. We would definitely visit again.

Hi Elizabeth, We are so happy that you enjoyed staying at our home and had a nice time. We hope you also enjoyed the Joshua Tree Park and 29 Palms. The little town has a lot to offer like our favorite, the Historical Society Musem. We do love the rustic furniture in the kitchen and will get the details on the chairs and table you mentioned looked at or replaced to make sure it all works as it should. The table leaves on the far sides of the table actually fold down to make the table smaller which we would typically do if we have up to 3 guests staying at the house. We hope to be able to welcome you back soon and wish you safe travels. Barbara and Marc

About the host

Hosted by Marc Pouw

Host profile image
Barbara is from California, Marc is from the Netherlands. We lived in Belgium for 18 years, our 3 kids were born there. We speak mostly Dutch at home. We moved to California in 2012 for work and the wonderful Californian climate.

We are an active family. We love to go on hikes, surfing, mountain biking, skiing, camping in our tiny 1957 Westener travel trailer. So for us Joshua Tree and 29 Palms are heaven. Delicious healthy food, fun people, fun things to do, lots of activity and then come home to a relaxing and cozy house for baking, cooking and playing board games.

Why they chose this property

We have been coming to 29 Palms and the Joshua Tree National Park since we moved to California in 2012. When our kids were young, they loved running around the park, climbing rocks, having picnics high up above the ground, flying the kites ...

After a few years of staying at hotels and Airbnb's we decided that it was time to look at finding our own place close to the Park and when the opportunity presented itself in 2020, we did not hesitate.

We love the Maricopa Property for its proximity to the park entrance, walking distance to the museum around the corner, walking distance to The 29 Palms Inn for coffee etc. It is so centrally located and yet so calm and peaceful.

We love being at the house to relax, play games, watch a move as we spread out on the comfy red couch ...

A piece of heaven that we love sharing.
