    We had an amazing time! The location is great, a quick drive to town and the park, but you are remote enough to truly relax outside with great views. The house itself was very clean and well-stocked!

    Beautiful home in a great location. Easy access to JNP and the surrounding communities. We loved the great outdoor spaces and the privacy.

    We loved the location, so close to Joshua Tree National Park. The view of the sunrise from the patio was wonderful. We enjoyed the feeling of privacy and space at the house. The gravel road to the house was rutted, but an SVU will get you there. We would stay there again.

    Excellent property that was clean, spacious with amazing views. The host was very responsive to a question on navigating the road to the property. Highly recommend especially if you are visiting Joshua Tree National Park as the entrance is very close.

    We loved our stay but we found it difficult to keep the house warm & the heat lamp in main bathroom was not working. The light fixture in the hallway by the main bedroom was missing. There should have been better instructions on dealing with garbage & recycling & organics. The house was beautiful & the views were amazing.

    We came for quiet and star-gazing. The weather did not cooperate but that can’t be helped. Regardless, we had good quality family time in the desert hills. A truly beautiful place.

    We are repeat visitors. We love the location high up in Joshua Tree Highlands. It's quiet with expansive views. We love the grounds, with comfortable outdoor seating. And the beds are comfortable! A rarity for VRBOs. The house has everything we could need or want. It's just wonderful.

    Just what we were looking for in joshua tree! The property was clean and comfortable. We loved being down the street from the park, near the town yet secluded enough to enjoy peace & quiet. Would love to stay again!

    Perfect location close to the city of Joshua Tree and the west park entrance. Quiet and peaceful. The family room has beautiful views. We watched a family of coyotes (4 adults , 3 youngsters) walk thru the north patio one morning.
