    The house was very clean, nicely air conditioned, with a full kitchen and two very nice bedrooms. The backyard was very nice to enjoy the pool and hot tub. The location is also conveniently close to grocery stores if you need to stock up.

    Everything was just what we expected. The pool was unheated and smaller than it looks in pictures, and the 10 pm quiet rule made it difficult to combine hot tub and star gazing, but we were very impressed.

    Great location with good proximity to Joshua Tree National Park which is what we were there for. Property description is accurate, The host was very clear with communication for check in and check out and was timely in responding with anything we asked. The house was extremely clean and nicely decorated. The jacuzzi was very clean and was nice to relax in after a day exploring and hiking. The cowboy pool, although we didn’t use, was also very clean and would be nice on a hot day. The pool table in the garage was a nice plus which we used The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to cook and eat meals. The appliances are new and good quality. The only thing you may need to bring would be aluminum foil or maybe plastic wrap if you think you might need. Other than that everything else we needed was there. One very very small negative would be some of the plastic drinking glasses need replacing. Although they are clean and we washed before using they appear clouded and not very appealing. My dog absolutely loved exploring the fenced in yard. She was in heaven. I would stay here again if in the area.

    Fantastic place to stay for a Joshua Tree visit! Extremely close to the park entrance which was great for frequent trips to the park or rests at the property. All the amenities included made it very relaxing to be at the property. Quiet corner lot with all you could ask for. Easy access and good communication. If I return will definitely stay here again.

    Perfect place for my wife, dog and I to stay for the weekend. Centrally located near the town of Joshua Tree and 10 minutes to Yucca Valley and Twentynine Palms. Also close to dozens of great hikes in the park and otherwise. Awesome backyard with a hot tub and cowboy pool - the pool was closed for the winter but the hot tub was great! Would definitely stay again.

    This house was perfect for our star gazing! It was the cleanest VRBO we have ever rented. Truly, it was immaculate! The enclosed yards were wonderful spots for our pooches to wander and smell new smells safely. Communication with the host was outstanding. We hope to make Joshua Tree and this home a yearly event!
