Best Experience Ever

My friends and I booked this rental property and had the most relaxing and rejuvenating experience. We had been wanting to go to Jtree for a couple of months never finding the right house. This house is minutes away from the park's back entrance, its spacious, it has a hot tub and a fire it to enjoy stargazing. I even jumped in the pool and swam for a little bit. It was also super clean and the host, Dory was very communicative. I will definitely be coming back !

Wonderful stay at the boundary of Joshua Tree

The property lies slightly elevated so you have a view of the valley. Especially the lights at night are beautiful. It’s quiet and relaxing.

Pleasant and relaxed

We had a great time here, everything was clean and comfy and the communication with the owner was easy and nice. She also recommended a great little hike (Friendly Hill) close to the house which we enjoyed a lot! We also had fun watching the rabits in the front yard. Thank you for this pleasant stay!

Christmas at Joshua Tree

Beautiful property! The pictures are accurate. Stylish and comfortable! The kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed. We hiked Joshua Tree several days and came back each day to the hot tub to relax under the stars. Dessert was s’mores at the fire pit. The house provided a picture perfect vacation.

Joshua Tree Getaway

The space was so much bigger than I realized and I love how cute it was inside. The location was also perfect - I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere but was also close to the park and grocery stores/coffee shops when I needed them. It was the perfect spot to go after a long day of hiking and it's going to be my new go to spot when I got to Joshua Tree

Star gazing

We booked this VRBO because of a star gazing experience we had booked in Joshua Tree, which was amazing. The house was conveniently located near this event. It was the perfect fit for our party, clean, well-stocked, with a large backyard, perfect for our granddaughter. We were looking forward to spending a lot of time in the pool, but even in 90+ degree weather it was very cold (not heated). Overall we had a nice family vacation, which is all we were hoping for.
