    Beautiful small one bedroom house in the desert. Stocked as needed for my use. The sunrise and sunset were superlative each day. Spent the days in Joshua Tree NP and this was a beautiful retreat to start and end the day.

    Great location. Easy to get to the national park and into town. Loved that there was a full fence around us as my dog loved being able to roam around safely.

    This home was beautifully decorated and even better than the pictures. Every detail felt unique and thoughtfully curated to showcase the best of the desert, from the gorgeous skies to the peaceful surroundings. The kitchen was wonderful, the instructions were clear, and our host was incredibly responsive. I’d 100% recommend this property and would love to stay again!

    Our stay at Old Dale Ranch was just lovely! It was awfully hot on the first night of our stay but we found the extra AC in the closet and fans which helped to cool it down overnight. Isabel also had her handyman get a swamp cooler out of the barn for us to use the next day which helped even more. Our kids slept on the fold out couch and said it was very comfortable. We also very much enjoyed the little cowboy pool out back - so fun and nice to cool off in the afternoon after being in the park. So happy we chose to stay here! Would stay again!

    The property is spacious, clean, and unique. Property manager is responsive. It is about 5-10 mins from the North entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. Most of the activities we wanted to do were through the West entrance which is about 25-30 minutes away. Either way, we had a great time and we enjoyed staying in this property. Dog friendly too, so we were able to bring our animal friends. Just make sure to clean up after them!
