This home is magical. The setting alone is truly stunning in its natural beauty, but the home itself is also gorgeous. Just about everything has been thought of with this property. There are so many nice touches throughout. We spent as much time as the thermometer would allow outside in the incredible outdoor spaces on the property, and we also thoroughly enjoyed the record collection and sound system. This home was exactly what we needed for a restorative few days away. I would absolutely recommend this home and would return in a heartbeat.
We had a relaxing long weekend getaway. The location is great; close enough to be in the middle of town in under 5 minutes, yet just far enough away to find a little seclusion. The home itself has an interesting slight split-level layout to conform to the topography of the lot which adds to the character of the property. There’s so many interesting things within the house that you could spend hours just exploring all of the different decorations, books, records, etc. I would absolutely recommend staying here.
By far the coolest house we have stayed in so far from VRBO. We are really into mid-century modern houses/items and this house did not disappoint! Mark and Laura were really responsive when we had questions and I would highly recommend staying here! Centrally located and super close to the West Park Visitor center. House was super clean and it is like you never left home....they have everything and anything you might need to cook! A must is to lay on the hammocks outside and view the stars--so quiet and peaceful! We for sure will be returning!
Mark was a wonderful host! He brought my husband a husband a guitar to play and also sent me some clothes that I accidentally left in a closet! :) The house is spacious and great for hanging out. We loved sitting out on the patio and watching the sun and shifting light. A roadrunner often crossed by, right in front of our chairs. It's very close to Joshua Tree and we went hiking every day. We took two guided hikes, which was a great way into some really beautiful and untravelled areas. Loved Natural Sisters restaurant. Joshua Tree is a unique national treasure.
Well-appointed doesn't come close. This spot is magical and has everything you need - and way more. We lounged, read, listened to music, cooked...and all in a fantastic setting. Everything was chic but comfortable; in good taste but approachable. Tons of LPs for you crate diggers. I would characterize this spot as being incredibly sincere, if that makes sense. All your creature comforts that you want, plus more that you didn't know you wanted. Can't wait to come back!
Absolutely loved our long weekend at this mid-century beauty, it is a beautiful place inside and out, and so close to the shops and the park. Owners were pleasant and responsive, and helpful when getting ready to arrive and check-in. I would definitely stay here again, and my dog approved as well, had so much fun exploring the huge property and the neighborhood.
This was one of the best experiences we’ve had renting out a place for a getaway. As a group we take many trips away together and this place met the needs for us all. The house was very warm and inviting. The record player and selection of records was a pleasant surprise. Needless to say we plan on coming back. Thanks Mark! -Soultribe
The house was beautiful and much more spacious than it even seemed in the photos. Mark was communicative and helpful leading up to and throughout our stay. The location is perfect as well, only about 5-10 minutes from the park entrance.
We had a great time staying at the property, and there was something for everyone that made the place special. From a huge playable record collection, to the hot tubs and hammocks, to the outdoor grill, to the 70’s furnishings and decor, this place was the center and highlight of our trip!
We had a large and complicated group of musicians with night owls, babies, couples, and singles. This incredible house met all our needs and exceeded expectations with interesting features, lush finishes and plenty of space for all. Mark was a wonderful host and all was easy and clear. Can’t wait to come back!
