    Gorgeous home and surrounding landscape- perfect for star gazing as it is out of town, but close enough to go in for a bite to eat. Our host, Pamela, was lovely and left some treats and a nice note to welcome us. Really recommend!

    This stay was perfect!! The location is very quiet and the amenities are amazing! There is a hammock, fire pit, bench swing and outdoor shower which will be great when the summer! The stargazing was beautiful and the sound of the coyotes was maybe one of my favorite parts! We watched the sunrise from our bed through a large window but there are amazing spots to sit outside, it was just cold without a fire. Definitly will be going back!

    I wish there was a built-in stove along with a sink. The cowboy tub took a while to drain & it was not clean upon our arrival.

    Overall, the property was quiet, clean, comfortable. Everything was easy access, the decors was exactly to my liking , along with the indoor screening hammock mudroom what’s the perfect touch. The backyard space was beautiful. Felt like I was at Glenn Ivory minus the heat. LOL

    It took us a very long time to find the place because each host gave us slightly different directions. I’d say only one message with directions/ address was necessary. I’d also say for people like us who have never been to a dessert it would be great to have advice on what time of day is suitable for what activity ie. Stargazing from 9pm in the summer, we would not advise hiking from May-September or whichever month after 8am because of heat etc. we were uncertain what to do in the area during the day because of the heat.

    Loved the peace and quiet and surrounding outdoor area. The outdoor shower and sitting garden with all the wildlife was really wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wished we could explore longer.

    Nothing - everything was great.

    What an amazing property to stay at by Joshua Tree!! We were looking for something quieter after our west coast trip enroute to Vegas and this was perfect. The host was so communicative about how to access the property and about all the things to do in the area - we went to the national park and hiked, the local supermarket in Yucca Valley to get BBQ stuff for the evening. The property was easily accessible, clean, spacious & well furnished - we loved how they had done it out!

    I can't think of a thing. Was easy, directions were clear...the only thing I can think of was after all the information I wish I stayed some extra days!

    The atmosphere was amazing and made better by the outside area with an array of hummingbirds, baby bunnies, and lizards galore. I will be honest when they said the stars were great there, I didn't believe it, but I was able to get some better star pictures at the house than in Joshua Tree. I also loved the well thought out instructions and the binder spoke to me. Several items were re-prioritized after looking through all the options!

    It was a great place to stay partly because it was on the outskirts of the area, and it was fun.

    The road into the property was a little confusing. We had to call to revise our directions. I think part of the problem was that we weren't used to the area.

    The location was interesting, and the sunsets were amazing. The view out the window was awesome.

    It was slightly peculiar using the bathroom sink to wash up in but we got used to it. Also the paper plates were slightly strange (although I guess to help cut down on washing up required), but it would have been nice to have had proper crockery, even if it was plastic. There was no freezer either, which would have been nice to store some ice in.

    The location was amazing - right on the edge of the desert with fantastic views and sunsets! We woke up on the first morning with two coyotes trotting past which was incredible. Lots of birds too, which we are especially interested in. There was even a resident dove's nest on the air conditioning unit with two chicks! The place was very comfortable and clean.

    Bumpy dirt road was a bit of a challenge, though being off the main road made for a private relaxing stay.

    A most charming spacious apartment and desert garden. Quiet and cozy. Loved the turntable and vinyl selection and abundance of humming birds. And the moon and stars at night. Close to town and the park entrance. The host was gracious and generous with recommendations.

    The lighting was a bit dim, but it was adequate. And the dirt roads leading up to the house were pretty bumpy. Everything else was fine. There was even a good quality guitar that we played for a while.

    The property is the last house on a quiet dead end road. It backed up to open space, with desert and mountain views. The yard had lots of places to sit or lounge and admire the desert gardens and views. The studio was spacious and comfortable.

    The unit has a memory foam mattress in the bedroom and a fold-out couch in the living room. the memory foam mattress is really firm. and that's typical. but it didn't work for me. My friend slept on the couch and it was OK, just took some getting used to. NOTE: the roads in to the neighborhood are not paved or graded. Makes for a slow trip in and out even if you have an all wheel drive vehicle. I had to take it pretty slowly driving a 2023 Crosstrek. But I'm not accustomed to roads like that. The locals were buzzing in and out, no problem.

    Location was a short drive to the National Park, about ten minutes. Beautiful, quiet location. We stayed in the 1BDR unit. Roomy. Well outfitted kitchen. Enjoyed the firepit at night when stargazing.
