La Bandita Retreat, Pool, Epic Views, Min. to Joshua Tree National Park & Town

Wonderful home

Place was absolutely stunning and clean.Check in was super easy. They had plenty of board games to entertain, and a record player as well. Will definitely come back again!

We've stayed in many vacation houses before and this one has been our favorite. The house is light and bright and full of personality. We visited in April, and the desert garden was beautifully in bloom. Rabbits, ravens, and hummingbirds flitted through. The pool was too cold to use (outdoor temps were 70, with wind sometimes) but the hot tub was just right. I loved reading the recipe books on the swinging chairs outside and my kids loved the hammocks. The beds were comfy, and the neighborhood so quiet that I got some of the best sleep of my life. I can't recommend this place enough!

We just spent 3 nights at La Bandita and had a wonderful time. The house is clean, well stocked, the beds are very comfortable, and the large enclosed backyard was just right for our dog to enjoy, sunset watching, and stargazing. The pool and hot tub are clean but the weather was too cold and windy for swimming this time which gives us a reason to return. The neighborhood is quiet but close to town and the host is very welcoming and responsive although everything was just right and we didn’t need anything. Can’t wait to return to La Bandita.
