Secluded Spacious Home

My friends (and fur friends) had a wonderful stay at this awe-inspiring home. It was very spacious, cozy and accommodating for our large group. We enjoyed the 360-views around the home, which nicely overlooks the main highway. I would highly recommend this place!

A magical retreat spot

The directions to get to the house through the neighborhood were a little confusing, but once we drove down the long driveway and saw where we’d be spending the next 3 days, our jaws were to the floor! The views and the expansiveness of the home were breathtaking.

We really enjoyed our time at the Summit house! The views and hot tub were our favorite. The Game room was used by all ages. The drive to Joshua Tree park was short. We had trouble getting the entry code to work but it all worked out.

Out of the world experience

What a location, what a view and what a stay!!! The memory that we will cherish forever. Such an unique and incredible location, one of a kind. Very neat and clean. Very spacious and we found everything we needed for all of us. Main attraction was the patio and the view from there both during day and night. I would recommend the stay for everybody who is looking for privacy and a stay with extended fanily and friends. We planning to come back soon.

Awesome place needs a little TLC

Great location and awesome view. Very spacious layout and plenty of comfort. The Garage/Game Room were a superlative hit. Super venue for families with young kids. The Electric Stove was tough to figure out and there seemed to be a lot of tile damage throughout. Also, need more towel racks for the bathrooms.

Thanksgiving at Summit House

The family came in from all over California. We played games, puzzles, and hiked Joshua Tree National Park. The home was nice and warm as the weather was cold and very windy. The beds were comfortable. Only thing missing were Wine Glasses which were delivered the next day. This property showed signs of wear with older carpets and broken floor tiles.

The house was in decent shape, the appliances worked great. The viewers were so awesome. especially from the hot tub. The guard rail in front of the picnic tables isn't glass, it's thin wire. Be mindful with children on the patio and stay close. Our family of 7 could not get a full night's rest, a few of us staying awake throughout the night due to the constant steps heard in the hall upstairs and the sounds of cupboards in the kitchen being open and closed. There are no screens on any of the sliding doors, expect flies to get inside. There are big stains on most of the carpet throughout the house. No pool table or card table like in the pictures.

Cozy home and great views

The views from the homes balconies and windows are spectacular. I was in a group of 9 adults and the home felt perfectly spacious for us all to hang out as a group or split off. The beds were very comfortable along with the other furnishings. Lots of kitchen utensils at your disposal. This home allows for easy driving to a little bit of everything you could want to do in this area - Palm Springs, Joshua Tree, Pioneertown, it's close enough to it all! The directions from both Google and Apple maps weren't accurate to get to the home, but there were signs smartly placed in the neighborhood so you will figure it out. The coffee pot takes a long time to make a full pot so be sure to use the timer function for my coffee people out there. The home does show signs of wear and tear in certain areas like the plumbing (irregular hot water) and kitchen (floor and dishwasher). The last part of the driveway entering the home is a bit of a shock if you aren't prepared! It's a narrow stretch of dirt and concrete with sheer slopes on either side. We were in a bigger SUV and drove over it many times so everyone got over it eventually, but it is scary if you're from a place as flat as were I'm from! The only rooms lacking in homey decor were the bathrooms, every other space feels cozy and clean. This place provided everything I could ask for and more from a desert mountain view home, I would happily return again!

Stunning view

The view of the valley is really stunning and the house is big. However, it’s a dated property and for the price paid I was expecting some luxury elements that were missing (or maybe shampoo and body wash in the second bathroom at least)

Stay at Summit House

The property is perfect for a family reunion or friends’ vacation. The daytime views are spectacular and night skies amazing for star viewing. It is convenient to Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs. The house has a well equipped kitchen and outdoor grill with multiple places to spread out for meals and socializing. The bedrooms are nicely spaced out and very private. We didn’t want to leave. It is well maintained and managed. We would love to return some day.
