Awesome experience

We had a fantastic time staying at Leanne's place. We truly appreciated the fully stocked kitchen, the cozy beds, entertainment options (games, legos, pool table, pool, and hot tub), and the proximity to Joshua Tree National Park. Leanne was great at staying in touch, ensuring that we had everything we needed during our stay. Thank you for hosting us and making this a memorable trip!

Great stay!

Had a great stay with a group of 10 at this beautiful property. The location was great, home was spacious, and everything was clearly labeled and easy to find. The group enjoyed the supplies stocked in the kitchen that made cooking easy including cookware, plates, utensils, blender, etc. The pool and hot-tub were well kept, and even in the desert heat, the pool was refreshingly chilly! Overall a great property with lots of space for a large group who wants a staycation in the desert.
