Wonderful house in the high desert! We stayed for a week in summer, which was perfect for some family pool time, and also allowed us to make quick trips out to Joshua Tree for some short easy hikes either early or late in the day to avoid the worst of the heat and sun. The house is lovely, the rooms very nice with comfortable beds, the kitchen is great and spacious for cooking, and Mike was very helpful and responsive to any questions we had. Recommended!
