Joshua Tree Stargazing Retreat: Pool, Hot Tub, Views, Privacy

We've stayed in many vacation houses before and this one has been our favorite. The house is light and bright and full of personality. We visited in April, and the desert garden was beautifully in bloom. Rabbits, ravens, and hummingbirds flitted through. The pool was too cold to use (outdoor temps were 70, with wind sometimes) but the hot tub was just right. I loved reading the recipe books on the swinging chairs outside and my kids loved the hammocks. The beds were comfy, and the neighborhood so quiet that I got some of the best sleep of my life. I can't recommend this place enough!

We just spent 3 nights at La Bandita and had a wonderful time. The house is clean, well stocked, the beds are very comfortable, and the large enclosed backyard was just right for our dog to enjoy, sunset watching, and stargazing. The pool and hot tub are clean but the weather was too cold and windy for swimming this time which gives us a reason to return. The neighborhood is quiet but close to town and the host is very welcoming and responsive although everything was just right and we didn’t need anything. Can’t wait to return to La Bandita.

Very good vibes in this house. Big rooms, big pool, a place for everyone. Saw a massive shooting star. Highly recommended.

This was a delightful stay in a very comfortable, clean abode! Everything you need was provided. The host was tremendously helpful and communicative. I would recommend to anyone who is exploring the very close by Joshua Tree Park.

The stargazing retreat is exactly what we needed to celebrate a milestone birthday with two dear friends. It was spacious, clean, very private and quiet. Doreen was extremely responsive the two times we needed to be in touch. I would highly recommend her as a host and the stargazing retreat, a place to stay.

Could not figure out how to adjust sound on the tv and sound bar. Suggest the addition of an air fryer.

This property worked great for visiting Joshua Tree. The large master was super comfortable and extra roomy so nice for suitcases/traveling.The backyard has a great view of the sunrise.

This house is ideally located to visit Joshua Tree NP, and to get to restaurants and other spots in close-by towns. It is in great shape, well-stocked and comfy. Host communications were great!

Exactly as advertised.

Great location, amenities and very clean!!

This house exceeded our expectations in all ways. Beautifully decorated, fun books to read,vinyl to enjoy! Our doggy was extremely happy romping around. Doree our hostess was extremely responsive and quick to reply. Hoping we can stay here again on our next trip out.

The host was always super responsive, and the house is great and decorated with style by people who clearly enjoy good music and great art. Many small details show care and attention. Enjoyable stay throughout!

Very accommodating hosts, and I highly recommend this VRBO. The pool, the Jacuzzi, and the fire pit, and the amazing Desert wildlife is just an experience that you have to have. The xeriscaping is exquisite, and beautifully complements the surrounding desert, terrain, as well as the property itself. Highly recommended!!!!

We enjoyed our stay from start to finish and can not wait to go back! Our family had a blast!
