Other than the location being about 20 mins from stores and restaurants it was perfectly wonderful! Bed was very comfortable and spa was clean and perfect temp. Nice deck for stargazing
I needed a nice, secluded spot to help my dog escape the 4th of July fireworks and this place was perfect! The interior of this place is SO so cute and the backyard was perfect for enjoying some time under the stars. The host was very communicative, the neighborhood was nice and quiet, and the bed was super comfy. I also really appreciate the attention to detail - like providing a lantern/ bluetooth speaker, a full water filter in the fridge, and stocked toiletries in the bathroom. I would totally come back here.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! We’re so glad our place could provide a peaceful escape for you and your dog during the 4th of July. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the cozy interior, starry backyard, and thoughtful touches we aim to provide. We’d be thrilled to welcome you both back anytime for another relaxing stay!
My husband and I brought our dog out here for a little desert weekend retreat and had a lovely time.
The location is fantastic, right at the edge of the Sand to Snow Monument and down the road from Joshua Tree National Park. You can walk to the mesas from the front door, and the neighborhood is very quiet, with a lot of space and privacy between the homes.
We enjoyed letting our dog explore the beautifully landscaped fenced-in yard, sitting in the hot tub, reading in the backyard or the cool living room during the heat of the day, listening to records, and eating a delicious takeout meal from La Copine on the back patio while listening to coyotes howling.
The house is well-appointed, plenty of blankets, towels, cleaning supplies, and the kitchen is stocked with utensils and condiments, making it very easy to come in with some groceries and easily prepare a nice meal. Great little record collection, too, and a good, eclectic bookshelf! It's thoughtfully decorated with many artistic and hospitable touches.
Patricia is very friendly, communicative, and helpful, which was just a cherry on top.
A wonderful, peaceful experience all around.

From the landscaped yard to the record collection and cozy touches throughout the home, it’s wonderful to hear that every detail made your stay special. It sounds like you truly embraced the magic of the desert, from hot tub stargazing to listening to the coyotes’ serenade! We’d be thrilled to welcome you back anytime for more serene desert moments.
