Everything about this stay was amazing. Host was communicative (and gave helpful tips before we arrived). The house was as described. A lovely home in close proximity to Joshua Tree. Would definitely stay again!
What a great place! The house is modern and clean. Beds are comfortable and home looks to be newly remodeled. Had everything we needed in the kitchen,most importantly the coffee and the coffee maker. Thank you.
