We had a wonderful time in this peaceful and well appointed home! Well stocked, nicely decorated and the outdoor spaces were wonderful! We really enjoyed the spa! The owners cared about the details and the guests comfort. When we had some issues with the pool heating they got right on it to make it all right. So close to Joshua Tree and the ones in the yard are huge., our little dog had a great time exploring the whole place! Thank you,great stay!

I do not normally do a review, but this property is truly exceptional for a fun weekend with family and friends. There are plenty of pool floaties and if you bring your own there is an air compressor for your use. Young grandkids brought their bikes to ride at the park. Turns out they road them all over the backyard.
