This property is located less than 10 minutes from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. We stayed here with our five children ages 19 to 24 and it gave us the perfect amount of space and room. So nice to have four bedrooms and four bath.Would highly recommend.
great property, well appointed homes with all yo need in the kitchen to the bathrooms. great linens pillows etc. I would stay again. close to downtown, farmers market coffee shops. found a great little hidden jazz bar around the corner. close to park for hiking. a 10 for us!!!
Very cool and thoughtfully designed modern property in Joshua Tree.
We loved the flexibility that two smaller homes on one lot provided for a stay with our extended family. Both how homes felt larger than advertised due to vaulted ceilings in the main spaces and lots of windows. The common outdoor amenities like firepit and pool/spa combo were a nice touch. Highly recommended.
The houses were so clean and well maintained. It was a pleasure to stay here our 4 nights. I would stay here again if I am ever in the Joshua Tree area again. I recommend these houses to others searching for a nice place to stay.
The location was amazing. Walking distance to restaurants, weekend market and a fun local bar. The property was just as described and had everything we needed. The communication from the property manager was prompt and they even went above and beyond to notify us of an incoming storm. The homes were clean, inviting and comfortable. It was the perfect stay for our group. Thank you for accommodating our friends and family. We look forward to returning!
One of the AC units didn't work for the entire weekend. We had to sleep in the living room, with the kids, on the floor, and no one was able to sleep. I begged for someone to help us, I asked for a portable unit and the responses were pretty much the same "we don't have any".
In addition in the first day we found out that the remote for the TV was missing. And we couldn't watch tv. there is nothing else you can do there at night with the kids except for watching tv.
Very disappointing experience.
