We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Communication with Dorine was great and she really made sure everything was perfect for our time at her place. The house is spacious and comfortable and exceptionally clean, the kitchen is well appointed, and the location is fantastic. We really enjoyed watching sunsets from the back yard and wandering in the preserve behind the house. Would highly recommend!

Five stars across the board. The home is beautiful and just as pictured. Dorine was a great host and thought of everything. We loved hearing the birds in the backyard in the morning, and watching the sunsets in the evening. The location was perfect for getting into the National Park, into downtown JT, and to restaurants and shops in Yucca Valley.

Dorine is a welcoming and attentive host. She checked in to make sure everything was going well. The property is beautiful and is well maintained. The backyard is truly a sanctuary. When one of my traveling companions had. a medical emergency, she worked with me to try and amend our reservation in case we needed to extend our stay. I would highly recommend this property and Dorine. She's the best!

This house is very comfortable and CLEAN. Everything is nice and decorated with taste (soft plush towels, nice matching mugs, comfortable couch etc.). It really feels like someone spend time making sure everything was perfect. The back yard is wonderful for star gazing complete with a big lounge chair and warm blankets. It was such a peaceful place with everything we needed; we wanted to stay longer!!

About the host

Host profile image
Hi I'm Dorine and I'm excited to welcome you to my home and want you to feel like Jtree Sanctuary is your sanctuary and home during your visit to Joshua Tree. I have enjoyed pouring lots of love into the furnishings and and amenities to make it special for your stay! A little about me... I love traveling too! I've been to over 20 countries around the world - Italy is my favorite so far. I have worked in corporate america most of my career but hosting my home in Joshua Tree is way more fun. I come from a big family and have two grown sons and now grandkids! Life is full of blessings and surprises and I try to live grateful. Sometimes its a challege but most days I succeed! :) I love interacting with my guests and answering questions and also respect guests' space if non-communication is preferred. It makes my day when guests walk into my home and think it is better than expected. I hope you love it too! Thank you for reading my profile and for the opportunity to make your stay amazing! :) -Dorine

Why they chose this property

I love the overall vibe of Joshua Tree. Remote, quiet and peaceful with a ton of nature to explore both inside and outside the national park. And JT also has lots of fun, funky and eclectic places to eat, shop and visit, depending what I'm in the mood for. I fell in love with this home in paricular because of the VIEWS and open floor plan. It "feels" so peaceful inside and outside. The small neighborhood has paved roads and the home's big lot gives it a very private feel.

What makes this property unique

Jtree Sanctuary is unique because it offers the best of both worlds - feeling secure in in a neighborhood yet having open views for miles and a backyard that feels serene, just like a sanctuary.
