Beautiful and clean home in a great location. The host was very thoughtful in setting up the home and amenities. The hot tub was even kept at a warm temperature ready for our use! Though we ran out of time and didn’t get to use it. Note while the property is pet friendly, pets are not allowed on the furnitures.

Great place to stay for a relaxing get away. Very conveniently located and a quick drive to joshua tree park. The home was very clean and comfortable had all the basics we needed.

This was a very lovely property. Quiet and relaxing, excellent kitchen, lovely outdoor seating and beautiful views. Sati was very responsive to my questions. Its location is both private and not too far from town. We enjoyed breakfast out and beautiful sunset dinners in. The decor is lovely and the deep tub in the bathroom is lovely. We are going to be back again!

We enjoyed our stay! Everything was clean and kitchen was fully stocked with all tools needed to have a great staycation in Joshua Tree! We enjoyed the fully fenced in property for our pups. We also loved getting to stargaze at night in the hot tub! Close to the national park as well so we were able to go explore. Such a perfect stay and would stay again if we were ever in the area!
The stars at night were unreal!

Sati was an incredibly personable host who made every effort to ensure our stay was perfect! The house is nestled away and feels like you're getting away off the grid, but shopping is only 15 minutes away. It was quiet, beautiful inside, and we enjoyed our evenings by the fire while sipping on delicious orange tea provided by Sati (seriously, how awesome is Sati?!), and looking at the clear sky and stars outside. We will definitely be staying here again!

We enjoyed our stay! Sierra Madre is a beautiful property with amazing views, both in the sky and the surrounding landscape. Sati was easy to communicate with and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Our dogs enjoyed the large, fenced in yard. We would love to stay again in the future.

Our host Sati was the best!! So easy to communicate with. This is probably one of the most comfortable vacation rentals we have ever stayed in. Loved the eclectic artsy decor. The hot tub was fantastic & great for Stargazing. Loved the layout of the home. we kept saying it feels so big yet so cozy. Our little dog loved the property as well.Great proximity to the national Park, dining and outdoor museums. I would highly recommend this vacation rental.

Lovely place. Beautiful great room & cozy wood burning fireplace. Bring firewood. Dreamy soaking tub, and hot tub. Nice fenced yard with several trees and green bushes. Bring wine glasses, cling wrap or foil. Nothing provided for food storage. Could use a new set of matching silverware. Clogged shower head, but pretty pink tiled shower with gold fixtures. Beautiful tile work throughout. Big bright windows and soothing cross breeze. Comfortable swamp cooler. Good location - a little tricky to find the first time, or in the dark. Definitely arrive in daylight if possible. A really wonderful, peaceful place.
