My friends really liked the out door shower!

This was a very eclectic fun place to stay. We enjoyed the art and space . After dark outside the sunset view was accompanied by the call of wild Coyotes.

Quirky house - voyeur delight

The house is in an unincorporated part of town, no street lights and has a septic tank. There is a neighboring house and other buildings/ facilities nearby. Landscaping is lovely. All views can be seen without a choice as there are no window coverings - including a western facing picture window in the bright green room which gets full morning sun. The master bedroom has a low platform bed and uncomfortable mattress. Can see into the bathroom from the kitchen, living room and front patio. No indoor shower option. The kitchen is well suited for cooking. Cute rattan living furniture with cushions, no place to comfortably lounge if you planned a getaway. Also, no televisions or speaker option for music. We ended up finding a nearby hotel for a better sleep. Informed the property owner in a friendly message that we cleaned up, and what we did like about the property but the bed was too uncomfortable and the reply was expressing disappointment since all other guests like the views - no mention of the bed. We are regular VRBO property guests and rely heavily on reviews.

VRBO at its best!

Everyone was correct-the outside shower was great. So we’re condiments in kitchen, grapefruit in the fridge, stunning sunsets and sunrises. We were lucky to have a full moon with us—and windy, chilly, sunny, cloudy all in four days. A perfect out of the way desert gem!

Wonderful stay near Joshua Tree

This was a perfect place for a getaway in the Joshua Tree/Palm Springs area. The views at all times of day are spectacular. While we were primarily out exploring during the day, the house is perfect for relaxing in, reading, and looking at the views. The fireplace was wonderful for the winter nights, and the heaters in the bedrooms kept the rooms warm (though we shut them off at night because they are very loud). The kitchen is well suited for basic meals, and was well stocked with coffee, tea, and spices. Petra was very responsive to our questions. We would definitely recommend staying here.
