Trevor has a great place. Perfect jumping off point for exploring JTNP and local area. Excellent spot to return, relax and enjoy a nice sunset. The bungalow is set up just right. Most definitely worth the visit.

This place is so cute!

The property is adorable and perfect as a base for the weekend. It has a clear view of downtown, and the mountains are beautiful at sunrise. It is close to the Noah Purifoy museum and is on a beautifully secluded property, but it is also easy to access. Highly recommended!

Great place, everything there for a comfortable stay. Best for a couple sharing a bed. Or a small family. The entry leads through the extra "bedroom". The bathroom door is in that extra bedroom.

Serene and beautiful

The property is comfortable and modern, and has a wonderful sense of style. The view of the city of Joshua Tree is distant and you can see the twinkling lights in the distance at night. Sitting on the porch during the day is a delight. We would definitely stay again.

such a cool space!

This was the most perfect spot for us to experience Joshua Tree NP. I spent 2 hours in the back porch swing enjoying the stars. Really great place with excellent communication from host. We will be back for sure.

Amazing!

We absolutely loved our stay at Trevor’s property. The proximity to Joshua Tree and the national park was perfect. The property was clean and well maintained with just about any amenity you could need. The outdoor space was ideal for sunset and rise and for relaxing after a long day of hiking. We absolutely loved our stay and will plan to return whenever we’re back in the area. Thanks, Trevor, for making our wedding anniversary memorable!

12/10 we were supposed to stay 2 days and we stayed 4! Absolutely perfect place to unwind from the busy and noisy cities! Trevor is very nice and the house has everything you need. Comfortable bed and perfect ride distance to Joshua tree park.

Peaceful getaway from a crazy world

This place was what the doctor ordered. Close to the Joshua Tree strip and one of the park entrances, but out of town enough that you felt you had space. The owner was super responsive when I had trouble operating the mini-split. He also was kind enough to let us check in early. The vacation home was everything you needed, nicely appointed, and a super comfy bed! Thanks for the lovely visit to an incredible place! A big shoutout too to La Copine for one of the best meals and most amazing service I have had in years.

Kindest and most responsive host!!

Trevor is an incredible host, I would 100% book with him again! I needed to get in touch when I first arrived, and he immediately responded to my text and got on the phone with me to make sure I had everything I needed. He truly went above and beyond to make sure I was set up! The property is in such a beautiful location- the perfect place for some peace and quiet in the desert. I highly recommend this place.
