Every previous review is spot on. Wonderful, clean, well appointed property with a great host. Flawless communication and couldn’t ask for more. Will definitely book again when in the area. Highly recommend.
I have stayed at this property several times. My 5 star rating has been consistent with each stay. The location is convenient yet far enough out that the night sky and quiet are predictable and appreciated. The property is well appointed and very clean. Christopher is accessible and accommodating. I look forward to staying here again!
Great location. Well decorated. Well appointed. Super clean. Comfortable living space indoors and outdoors. Attentive and thoughtful hosts. I'll visit again for sure!
This property is located just close enough to town and JTNP and just far enough away to enjoy the peace and solitude of the high desert. The day and night views are spectacular. The home itself is laid out with bedrooms at opposite ends and living space between. If you want privacy it's available. If you want to come together there is ample space in which to do so. It's very clean, and well appointed. The beds and linens are wonderful, as are the baths and towels. We will look forward to staying at this property again. Christopher is a fantastic host, who's attention to detail is much appreciated!
SUPER clean! Well appointed, classy yet comfortable space. Two of us and our two dogs spent three nights and never left the property. This property is elevated and boasts beautiful views. Looking to the South the Ridgeline of JTNP is the horizon line. There was still snow on San Jacinto and San Gorgonio off in the distance. The back patio and fire pit area look toward the North and a peaceful undeveloped hill of public land. The full moon rising down the valley from the East was the icing on the cake. This quiet space with its beautiful views is just what we needed. The location is perfect. Close enough to town if you need or desire to go. JTNP is close as well. We will visit again to be sure!
The home is gorgeous. Everything was new and so tastefully decorated. The home was well stocked; the kitchen had everything imaginable. We cooked everyday and ate outside on the patio. We relaxed around the fire pit and enjoyed star gazing. We spent a lot of time outside and were able to see local wildlife-quail, jack rabbits, and coyotes. Every room has a beautiful view of the desert. We loved sitting and looking out over the valley. It was such a relaxing and peaceful stay.
A clean, beautifully furnished house with a well-equipped kitchen with top of the line appliances that was even better than the photos. Comfortable beds, luxurious bathrooms and views from every window. And blissful quiet at night, making it very easy to relax after a day of hiking in Joshua Tree. Christopher provided clear instructions for finding the house and for using every appliance inside. He responded instantly to any questions we had. I'd love to stay there again and would definitely recommend to friends.
What phenomenal place to stay for a long weekend trip to the desert!! Host was responsive and provided us with great information about the property and area. Host's Instruction and guide manuals were really helpful. The place was beautifully (and very stylishly!!) appointed. Perfect stay and we'll look forward to returning in the near future. Thank you!!
House is in a great location! Close to town but far enough away that you get the camping in the desert feel without having to actually camp. House is tastefully decorated and well equipped. We had a great time!
Pics and description are accurate. Place is clearly well taken care of, clean, and perfect for a stay. It’s private and the views are wonderful to wake up to. You can catch the sunrise or just enjoy the scenery throughout the day. All areas of the home are enjoyable with the open layout. Great communication with the owner. Close to JT national park. Would stay, again.
The house was amazing! The location was perfect, just minutes from the National Park. The house had everything that we could need. The patio was the perfect place to star gaze! I would definitely stay here again!
