    What a fantastic experience staying at the Art House! The house is so unique, clean, cozy and located in a quiet neighborhood not far from all of the activities. Check in and check out was a breeze. John and April are fantastic hosts. In all our travels, we’ve never stayed in such a unique, well cared for home. We will definitely be back.

    Unique and Awesome Stay! The Art Loft is an excellent place to stay while visiting Joshua Tree National Park! It is in a quiet location and beautifully decorated and thoughtfully furnished with anything you could possibly need during a stay! Communication with our host, John, was excellent! We highly recommend this place and would love to come back one day!

    Remarkable property - absolutely delightful touches that revealed themselves throughout our stay. The kitchen is well-stocked with spices and things one might need without being at all cluttered. The beds are comfortable. The owners’ sense of style felt clean, creative, and joyful. A true artist retreat - perfect place to tap into one’s creative flow. We will definitely return and would highly recommend to others.

    We were in Joshua Tree for a wedding and stayed at the art loft. We are a family of artists and we appreciated all the creative touches, from the LP playerrecords, books and paints provided to the furnishings and landscape design. We found it immaculate and very comfortable. It’s also conveniently located to shops and restaurants in Joshua Tree and our host John was prompt and very helpful with all of our questions. Highly recommend!Sent from my iPhone

    We love staying at Art Loft. This is our second time. The place is beautiful and peaceful inside and outside. Good access to amenities and yet away from the busy area. We love it.

    Had just a fantastic stay at the ArtLoft. The decor and the environment is unique and clever and very hospitable. A very simple presentation but the components were all top notch. From the Haier fridge to the Sonos soundbar. A very functional and pleasurable space. They provide a wide range of television apps but I paraphrase from a comment left on the chalkboard wallLots of television services... but there is a renowned national park just down the street to be enjoyed. Just saying.We did enjoy the park. In addition to hours of hiking and photographing in the park we went to the fabulous restaurant La Copine twice, we also experienced the INTEGRATION sound bath at Landers. After the events of the day the fire pit and hot tub were greatly appreciated.Really a great stay and we will be returning. What is notable is that we winter in Palm Springs and could easily drive to all of these attractions but the house is just a preferred getaway to better experience and enjoy the area.In our opinion 5/5 stars.

    We originally booked a two night stay, we loved the property so much that we ended up extending our stay for two more nights at a discounted price and it was absolutely worth it. The host John was extremely helpful and communicative. We had a great time and would absolutely come back for this property.

    Loved my stay at the art loft! It’s a special space for individuals, couples or groups. Works for creativity or peace and quiet and just chilling out. And John, the host, couldn’t be more responsive or gracious. Highly recommend this spot!!

    Just as described and could not have been better. Something about this place was instantly relaxing when we arrived. Completely stocked with everything we needed. Walmart and others stores a short distance away to pick up groceries. The painting supplies were a nice surprise and we spent the afternoon painting after exploring Joshua Tree.

    I would love to mention all of the great things about this property and host, but we’d love to keep it to ourselves so we can make sure that we always can book this property. All kidding aside, I am new to Vrbo and John, the host was incredible about explaining everything to me and even gave us some suggestions for local things to do in the area. We had some discussions via mail here and via text, which I appreciated. The property was very easy to find. It was incredibly clean and well kept. We loved that it reflected the “Art Loft” that it was described as, and had a lot of amazing art supplies. There was a sound system that we were able to access and stream our music as we enjoyed the property and amenities. The backyard was just as amazing as the inside and the spa was well kept and clean. We cannot wait to return to the Art Loft. John, thank you again for everything! If there was a way to give more than five stars this property would get it. M & N ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    My wife and I stayed over Labor Day weekend and this is hands down one of the best VRBO experiences we've had. I want to spend time talking about two things, the magic of the space and the thoughtfulness of it all. Magic: The listing is amazing and you might wonder, is this for real and the answer is yes: the actual loft pays all of that promise off. The space is a delight to be in, the vibe is creative but also relaxed. It's not one of those places where your eyeballs hurt after a while because it's too creative. Rather, it's all very well crafted to deliver a holistic creative energy you can soak in. The space invites you to do something with it whether it's with visual art, chilling with the vinyl or flipping through a book. We loved every minute. Thoughtfulness: This is hands down one of the best rentals we've ever stayed at in regards to thoughtfulness. Everything is labeled. Everything is where you'd want it to be. Everything was clean, easy and in perfect working condition. The AC was working hard in the hot temps but it did its job. The kitchen had everything you'd want. The bathrooms were immaculate. Seriously, you feel taken care of, even though your host is not there, they still kind of are watching out for you. I know, this doesn't sound like a real review since I'm being so over the top but this place deserves it. Thank you John for sharing this gem with everyone!

    We had an incredible time! The home was very nice. Close to the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. We hiked everyday and having the jacuzzi right there when we got home was a real plus. Loved sitting out front in the morning having our coffee listening to the birds singing was a great way to start the day! Would definitely recommend this place for a nice getaway.
