Hill top view stay- 9 mins from JTNP! Hottub-Game room-Firepit-Cowboy pool

The place and host were both great, as my partner, our dog, and I were looking for a quiet staycation away from the July 4 fireworks. Our host, Kara, was communicative and accommodating as she was dealing with some issues from the previous guests who stayed before us. Unfortunately we weren’t able to use the pool as a result, but our host was accommodating and still made sure we were taken care of in other ways. The house itself is cozy and clean. There were a lot of dishes and utensils to use which was great for us as we brought food to cook ourselves for a night in. The game room was nice too so we spent a lot of time in there too. Figuring out which switches or remotes turned on what lights and stuff was a bit confusing at first but we made it work! The mounted TV in the living room was huge and the pull-out couch made it comfy to watch movies all weekend too. We didn’t get a chance to be outside much since it was super hot, but the hammocks outside and bonfire pit area were cool, we would have loved to hang out there if the weather was better. Overall we enjoyed our short but relaxing stay. Thank you again Kara!

We had a very pleasant stay at this property. Nothing extravagant, but accurately represented in listing photos. Kids LOVED the game room - want us to put one in now! Dogs enjoyed the fully fenced in yard. Our little dog patrolled the entire perimeter every time she went outside. :) If you have kids and dogs and want to visit Joshua Tree, highly recommend this place!!

The house is definitely outdated but they have styled it to make it feel more modern. The house is fully stocked which was so nice. There was a full spice rack, cotton swabs, an air fryer, coffee maker, pots, pans, every type of utensil you would need, etc. My husband and I stayed for a weekend away from our son for the first time in a year so it was really perfect for that. It's also super close to town and was 25 minutes from the Integratron. The only downside was that you have to text the owner to adjust the air conditioner and I'm very sensitive to heat/cold, so I often change it throughout the day, so I felt bad texting her every day, and she'd usually take a few hours to respond. But, for most people it probably wouldn't be an issue.

I truly appreciated the fenced in yard. Communication with the owner was excellent. From my own experience, I understand weeds can get out of control, but they were 3 ft high, so it made lounging in the hammock or in the yard uncomfortable. Personally I do wish there was a bit more privacy created for the hot tub since it’s in the front yard.
