    Shower door doesn’t fully enclose, which looks great, but isn’t always practical cause water ends up spraying out of shower into bathroom and making it wet.

    Beautiful properly, with modern furnishings and appliances. Perfect location close to Joshua Tree entrances, green market on the weekends, and restaurants. Loved the fire pit and hot tub at night.

    Great home and location. Super clean and friendly staff that was available to answer questions quickly. Hot tub, fire pit, BBQ and everything you can think of to be able to cook was readily available. Good coffee too!

    There was an odd beeping noise, which we didn't figure out until the last night. It was coming from the dish washer, which we did not use. Not a big deal though. The place was great. Only regret is that we didn't stay longer. :)

    We loved this place! It was directly off the main street and easy to access. It was clean, very well maintained, and amenities were well thought out from coffee to facial cleaning wipes, I was highly impressed.

    We found nothing to dislike about our stay.

    We loved the modern vibe of our accommodations. The entire home was immaculate, efficient, spacious and filled with indulgences - reading and music offerings, leisure outdoor activities, laundry room, and super comfortable bed! Perfect location just outside the entrance to JTNP.

    Next doors dogs are really aggressive when we walked down to the supermarket my dad jumped out of his skin! Nothing to detract from the property but if you’re scared of dogs just be mindful.

    Great little house has everything you need! Great kitchen and lounge area all decorated beautifully. Easy to park and a great little supermarket a 5 minute walk away.

    Garden was a little overlooked from residential properties, felt a little unconformable on this basis out in the garden.

    Modern property, with homely comforts. The kitchen and bathroom were great. Very good location to Joshua Tree

    Unfortunately the pool was not functional for our stay, which we were notified of before our arrival, as well as one of the bikes was broken so we could not use them.

    The property is lovely, the house is quite spacious and very nicely decorated. There are two AC's, which was great in the crazy heat. The host was very responsive even in the evening of our arrival. There is a jacuzzi, BBQ and a petanque field in the backyard.

    Really nothing. Note for dog owners there is some prickley seeds in the garden, our pup just pulled them out his paws and we pulled them off our shoes but don't go barefoot!

    Very clean and modern, looks brand new. Had everything you needed and good quality items. But it was the little touches that made it wonderful, books, games, bikes - with helmets and repair kits. Super fancy washer and dryer. Great shower. Dog bed, lint roller, sheet for covering sofa and poo bags. Massive bonus was that it had an EV charger! The outside area is just lovely with a pool, jacuzzi and fire pit. We had such a great stay there and would recommend it and stay again. Thank you for all the small touches it really made it a wonderful stay.

    There was a bunch of thorns I kept stepping on that would embed themselves into my flip flops. I was worried about my dog stepping on them too. Looks like seeds from some of the plants outside. Can't fault them as it would be impossible to get rid of it all, just make sure not to walk barefoot and have indoor and outdoor shoes!

    Great location, quiet and relaxing, real close to Joshua Tree NP entrance. The house is tastefully decorated and a well equipped kitchen. I'm talking blender, sieve, bottle opener, toaster, coffee maker, spices, etc..Freezer stocked with ice was much appreciated as soon as we came in from the heat! Wish we had time to play bocce ball, the court was amazing! Loved the hot tub for the cooler mornings and nights! Couldn't get the oven to work initially but got wonderfully quick response from property manager to troubleshoot it and they even offered to have someone come in and fix it the next day. They were also very easy to communicate with for check in and it was so simple. Great touch with the record player and record collection, very fun to play it while we relax in the evenings!

    The neighbor house looked a bit sketchy but wasn’t bothered by them. Would have been cute with more cacti/landscaping

    Walking distance to town. Cowboy tub, hottub.

    Could of used coffee filters and scoop. So I got some and left a scoop for the coffee. I would suggest adding a hook or additional towel rack in bathroom, otherwise fine! A solar light in back maybe

    Overall the location and house, bed was comfortable. met our needs.

    When I walked in, I had to step on cockroach. I think It was trying to get in from the outside. I didn’t see any more after I killed it. I think it also came from the neighbors’ home because it looked sketchy.

    hot tub was a plus and very modern
