Great house to get away from it all!

This house was amazing! We came here to see the stars, and the light pollution is minimal and had great views of the skies, with no interruptions from passing cars or other buildings. The house is comfortable and cozy, every room has ceiling fans and heating and air conditioning, so everyone can adjust the temperature to their liking. The kitchen is small, but the oven works great, and we made delicious croissants. They also have a very good coffee maker.

If it wasn't for the presence of oxygen and gravity, I would've thought we were sleeping on the moon. This place is beyond dreamy. Our stay was way too short. This would be an incredible weeklong (or more!) getaway. Great amenities, super home-y. If you are looking for some desert solitude but in the most adorable three-bedroom cottage with wi-fi, hot shower, and a full-service kitchen, and telescope(!), this is the place.

This house was very clean, and had a great layout for our group. Me, my husband, and our 2 small kids stayed in the bedrooms with a full bath, while my parents had their own room and powder room on the other side of the house. The house matched the pictures, and again - it was very clean! AND the beds were comfy.

Well appointed, vast property with unique provisions for a refreshing desert escape. Our family of 6 enjoyed our time here for 4 days in Joshua Tree National Park and a visit to local Pioneer-town. Keep in mind, dirt roads with no street lights require awareness, to navigate, once the sun goes down. That said, the remote location embraces a serene experience, with the convenience of grocery stores, ample eateries and shops, only 20 minutes away. All linens and beds were high quality and plentiful. The overall property is tidy, well kept and comfortable. We’re happy and would most certainly return!

For future guests: It was good we brought a shampoo bottle & shower gel as the provided bathing products were inadequate for 6 guests.

For the owners: The overall home is very tidy and kept up, however we recommend spot cleaning the noticeable pet stains on the rug in the room with the king bed. Our family doesn’t wear shoes indoors and this awareness was a minor concern, but a concern, nonetheless.

This home was true to the photos: very tastefully furnished, uncluttered rooms filled with light, and clean, clean, clean! Beds are firm and comfortable; kitchen is quite well stocked, with new appliances and good knives. Our family stayed during our visits to Joshua Tree National Park and this home is about 20-30 minutes from the entrance (note there is a small unpaved section of road - though it should be no problem for most cars). We loved the comfort and we loved the stars at night!

Came here to escape the craziness of the city and remote work and it did not disappoint! While it feels remote and private, you're only about a 20 minute drive from the park entrance.

All are the rooms are exceptionally clean and decorated with immaculate style, but our favorite part was the patio. We turned on a fire and ended up having dinner outside, enjoying the quietness and the stars. The telescope, plethora of board games, Netflix/Hulu and the SWINGS were extra touches we enjoyed.

Overall:
• Beautiful patio with even more beautiful sunsets
• Exceptionally clean with plenty of towels, blankets, soap etc.
• Telescope for watching stars, TONS of board games and TV equipped with Netflix, Hulu etc.
• Reliable wifi for streaming, Zoom, etc. (Although why would you want to work here when the outdoors is so beautiful!)
• Only 20 mins away from park entrance, and about 35 from Pioneertown
• Dog friendly with dog bowls available outside

Would definitely come back with friends so we could have a fun time playing boardgames outside under the sunset and stars. You'll love it!
