Among the Joshua Trees

Of all the places we’ve stayed this ranks among the very best. Roomy house, nice view, solitude, and proximity to Joshua Tree National Park, Pioneertown Mountains Preserve, Sand to Snow National Monument, Giant Rock, and of course, Coachella Valley and Palm Springs. Lots of outdoor space for our bulldog, interesting wildlife, just a great place complete with Joshua Trees on the premises.

Desert hilltop paradise

Quiet serene cabin perched on the top of the hill. Abundance of wildlife and gorgeous rock formations at your doorstep. Sipping morning tea on the front porch and watching the Jack rabbits hopping around and having a short visit by a coyote was spectacular. Such a little desert gem and only a short 20 minute drive from Joshua Park. Excellent host and cleanliness. Next time going south this will be my stop once more.

Perfect home for our family

Stayed here two weeks ago, and it was the perfect home for our family of four. Had all the creature comforts we needed with two little ones: from a fully stocked kitchen, heater (it was extremely chilly at night), games, and comfy beds. My two little sons 5 and 7 loved watching the birds in the morning and exploring the amazing natural preserve right in the backyard! Cheryl was timely with all her responses and a delight. Will definitely stay at again!

Visit to the "Promised Land"

We rented this house because it slept 4 and it was just up out of the Yucca Valley. We really appreciated the house, and the very quiet surrounding area that was lovely. The house was perfect for us!!

More than we'd hoped for

Looking for a simple, relaxing desert getaway, hoping for nice views and a quiet place to spend the nights, we were blown away by this location! One of the first things I saw on the property was the gorgeous Joshua tree right in front, which was blossoming with white flowers. Beautiful. Next, as I walked around to the back, I was amazed that the "back yard" was desert as far as the eye could see. Joshua trees, brush, sand, rocks, and the region's signature stony hills in the background. About 50 ft in front of me, an enormous jackrabbit spotted me before I spotted it, and it prudently sprinted away. Five minutes later, admiring the view, we saw a gorgeous and pretty sizeable barn owl swoop over the house! Or favorite time was sunrise, of which the property has a breathtaking view. In the house, everything was great: well stocked kitchen, comfy bed, pleasant aesthetic, basically everything where it should be and functioning well. Very quiet neighborhood, extremely low light pollution, wonderful place for stepping outside and seeing an incredible night sky.
