Beautiful home on private property just out of town. Overall great experience but a little confusion checking in as both hosts were traveling out of town. Also, the book of instructions was outdated on some items. Overall cleanliness was good but floors were dirty and some cleaning rags left laying around.

Beautiful home!

This is a wonderful place to stay when visiting Joshua Tree! The hot tub helped us recover from our hikes and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We appreciated the games and the well appointed kitchen too. Our family highly recommends this property and hopes to return someday.

Wonderful weekend get away

The house is uniquely perched on top of a hill, providing specular mountain views. The house and particularly the kitchen was well equipped. The French country interior was inviting and furniture was comfy.

Great Views

Perfect location for the views. The house sits on a hill and has great views from all four sides of the property. We liked that the back yard had three separate sitting areas depending on how much sun you wanted, from none to full. It was very clean and supplied with everything we needed. Very nice hot tub.

Vintage Desert Chic

A Serene Desert EscapeOur stay at this secluded desert retreat was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely removed from the hustle of Las Vegas and immersed in tranquility. The property is beautifully integrated into the landscape—private, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning desert views, especially at sunset.The home itself is warm, inviting, and full of charm. Every detail—from the natural landscaping to the cozy interior—reflects a thoughtful touch. We spent our days exploring the area and our evenings unwinding under the stars. Our dog, loved roaming the property and relaxing with us on the porch.This was the perfect place to disconnect, recharge, and enjoy quality time as a family. We’re so grateful for the experience and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a quiet, soul-soothing getaway.

Property Needs Some Attention

The property was very convenient for the plans we made for our stay. But, there were concerns upon arriving. Check in instructions were to notify the host 2 hours prior to arrival so the alarm could be turned off. After 3 attempts to contact, we finally heard from the host. The property is on an unpaved road--something I did not see in the writeup. It would be good to know as some travelers prefer not to drive on unpaved roads. The house number sign was on the ground/missing some of the numbers. An abandoned car and broken AC unit were in the front yard along with a pop up camper that had seen much better days. Not the first impression we were expecting. While I appreciate French Country/Shabby Chic design, I didn't expect to see stained, torn and worn out furniture. There were a few cleanliness issues (cobwebs, refrigerator water/ice dispenser needed a good cleaning). Cabinet doors needed to be adjusted. Many dishes were chipped...a concern for harboring bacteria. The hairdryer in the master bathroom should be replaced and a handheld shower wand addition would make showering much easier as the shower head is just too low. There were some things that we very much enjoyed--the backyard seating/view was fantastic and we enjoyed the hot tub! The convenience of a washer/dryer on the property was greatly appreciated. The beds were VERY comfortable and the robes for both bedrooms was a nice touch. We made the best of our stay, but doubt we would stay here again.

Property was clean but the best part was the fireplace and the hot tub! Had a small unpleasant surprise when I first arrived due to the security alarm going off but host jumped on quickly to help resolve the issue. Communication was great and very pleasant.

Relaxing

Our stay was very relaxing. Exactly what we needed. The house was clean, well appointed and thoughtfully decorated. Not much to do in Yucca Valley but we did drive to other locations to see other areas with no issues. I recommend this property.

Eclectic, Charming Desert Oasis

In a good way, this house is a throwback to the 60s, with all the charm and quirkiness that entails. Comfortable with lots of little cozy sitting areas, the house is filled with interesting books, nostalgic artwork and even a basket of musical instruments to accompany the piano. The beds are super comfortable with very fine, crisp linens and the jacuzzi is clean and perfectly bubbly. Great rental house!

Amazing Getaway! Don’t Hesitate.

We absolutely loved our stay at this relaxing desert oasis. It feels like a home from the minute you walk in, has beautiful and eclectic design and is loaded with all the things you could need. The owner Laurie was an amazing communicator and very responsive. I would not hesitate to stay here again and will also be recommending it to all my friends going west.

This house is so beautiful and comfortable it’s hard to leave! We loved watching the roadrunners, jackrabbits and quail from patios all around the house. It’s a short drive to great hikes and Joshua Tree. Park

Charming desert home

We loved our stay here! The house is surrounded by dirt roads that lead up to a hill with great views of the valley. Perfect for hiking, running, biking right out the front door. Location is convenient, close to town and Joshua Tree National Park. Our dog had fun roaming around in the fenced back yard and we loved relaxing in the hot tub. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal. Such a charming place!
