Magical, spacious, and charming

Our group of 11 had a phenomenal time at this beautiful house! We were so appreciative of the extremely well stocked kitchen (we’re talking cake pans, French press, waffle iron, cocktail glasses) and the many cool spaces inside and outside the property. At any time, we could all be together in the living room/kitchen which was big enough for all of us to hang out, or we could find separate areas at the hammock, fire pit, or lounge chairs. I would book this again in a heartbeat. Thank you!

The Most Magical Desert Stay!

Can't say enough wonderful things about this property. The cleanliness and amenities far surpassed our expectations! It was in pristine condition upon arrival with SO many cute, thoughtful, and helpful touches. It was the most perfect place to spend a weekend with close friends. The house was gorgeous - we loved hanging both inside and outside! Would absolutely stay again and would highly recommend this property and host.

Perfect for a group of friends get away

My friends and I were looking for a place fairly secluded from the rest of the world to enjoy time with each other and play in the desert. This home was perfect in every sense of the word! We were secluded from any neighbors, the house had all the amenities and games we were looking for, and the property manager was easy to check in with and provide anything we needed. I felt taken care of and cared for. I would come back to this house in a heart beat. Perfect for a large gathering of friends or family.

Russ and Haley's Wedding

The property is absolutely beautiful. I would gladly stay there again, but this time I would focus on not leaving the property. Unfortunately, there were a number of wedding week events that we required us to travel into Joshua Tree and 29 Palms, which took away from our time to relax at the house. The dirt road was difficult to navigate, especially at night, but otherwise this was a great experience

Amazing!

This place is just amazing! From the house itself to the outside views it was incredible! The house is very nice and clean. The rooms are so spacious with their own AC, perfect! The host was checking in through out our stay but nothing overwhelming. Just quick check in to let us know they are available if we need anything and that’s it. The best! They also provided us with a complimentary champagne bottle and s’more kit! Such a nice touch and perfect start to my Birthday getaway celebration. The views are amazing! And the pool and spa just completed the perfect getaway for my birthday. 10/10 is the place. I will definitely be back for another get away.!

Desert Oasis!!

We were coming to the desert with 2 full families (9 people total) to explore Joshua Tree National Park. We wanted something that was away from noise and lights so we could have privacy and enjoy the stars at night. The home and property were perfect. The house is roomy and the kitchen is well stocked. We loved having the record player with all the old albums. The owners were wonderful! When we mentioned that the pool was dirty (there had been a massive windstorm the day we arrived) they had their pool cleaners out promptly. Overall just a wonderful experience, and we’d stay here again!

Loved my stay at Desert Flower Retreat

The Desert Flower Retreat exceeded all my expectations! Celebrated my 30th birthday here and could not have asked for a better experience. Kathryn is a wonderful and communicative host and the property is stunning and secluded. House was well equipped with everything you could need. It is about a mile drive on a dirt road so would definitely recommend bringing your groceries so you don’t have to leave as much! Also very close to Joshua Tree National Park. Such a great place to celebrate, relax, and enjoy nature, wildlife and breathtaking sunsets. The only thing I would note is that the jacuzzi did bleach some clothing and jewelry so just be careful! Atleast it’s clean! Hope to come back soon.

Amazing stay!

Really great stay at this beautiful property just north of Joshua Tree National Park. Home is exactly as advertised. Our group of five friends used many of the outdoor amenities... pool, hot tub, hammocks, fire pit, grill, and dining table. Kitchen is well stocked with whatever you might need. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms clean and spacious. Highly recommend this property, and would love to return in the future. If you are considering staying here, go ahead and book it now. You will not be disappointed.

Secluded oasis

This property is amazing. It’s not far from 29 palms, but it’s secluded enough to soak up the tranquility of the desert. The house was big enough for 8 adults to not feel cramped, and lots of space in the common areas. Pool is small and cold, but was really nice on the hot days. Kitchen has everything you need, and host responds quick. Amazing stay!

Perfect pick

We searched all over for a spot for 3 generations to be together so we could enjoy adventures, avoid crowds and traffic, have quiet nights at the fire pit, cook big meals and be in beautiful surroundings. Desert Flower fit the bill perfectly. The house is beautiful, very clean, very well decorated, and has the most comfortable beds! Kathryn was an excellent host who responded to our needs immediately.

Magical Memories

Wow. Where to begin? We spent our New Year's Eve here and it made magical memories for each and every one of us. Yes, the photos make this space look amazing. But photos don't capture the endless desert sky. Or all the little surprises you'll discover on the grounds. Or the feel of warming yourself in the hot tub (and the fire). They thought of all the details, too. Want to warm up while you watch the sunset? Grab one of the many blankets from the closet. Have eight people headed into the hot tub? You'll never run out of towels. Need to cook for a dinner party? The kitchen has it all and the giant table comfortably your entire party. Need something on short notice? Kathryn responds to questions with lightning speed. The location is top notch. The space is beautiful The communication is second-to-none. What are you even waiting for? Book it now! Or maybe don't — you'll only make it harder for us to come back again.

Host is super responsive. Property is clean and well equipped - we did lots of cooking at the house and found plenty of suitable cookware. Location is ideal for heading to Joshua Tree National Park. Perfect for our multi-generational family plus doggie! Hope we can come again.

A magical break in the desert.

We took our first family vacation - in a long time - and had the most magical experience. The location is stunning. So much space & incredible views. And the house was wonderful. Absolutely everything you could possibly want, beautifully clean, very well stocked & gorgeously decorated. Thanks for a very special trip!
