Bungalow in Joshua Tree
Perfect cozy and cool spot for two who want to visit Joshua Tree park. Close to the west entrance, it has everything you need. When you come back hot and dry, the back yard in the shade is lovely. In the mornings, breakfast on the front porch in the full shade. The outdoor shower is a great way to wash off the dust. The amenities are lovely as is John the host. Great communicator. All in all perfect for what we needed.

Excellent Bungalow to stay while in Joshua Tree
John was an exceptional host, with great communication. Provided all the information needed to enjoy our stay. The Bungalow had everything you could need, and comfortable. It was really well decorated, and the outdoor area was enjoyable, spending a lot of time outside. Being very close to the National Park, was also great, as we spent many days hiking. We would definitely recommend staying here, if you are in the area. When we return to Joshua Tree in the future, we will be staying at the Bungalow.

Perfect little Joshua Tree house
Excellent communication from the owner to include ease of entry to the home, hike recommendations, and how to use the numerous amenities in the house. This spot is situated very close to a national park visitors' center, as well as great pizza and coffee. If my husband and return to the area, we wouldn't bother looking for lodging anywhere else.

Hiking Joshua Tree
Amazing house with space and appointments that exceeded expectations. We had cocktails on the front porch swing and chairs with side table to watch sunset. Grilled out two nights and dined outdoors. Ran out of time to use the chimea in the side yard. Very quiet and dark sky. Owner John, was very helpful with suggestions before our visit and called us to ensure we had all areas covered for our stay on check in. Site also had an electronic security system as a nice feature. Amazing range of cacti landscaping. We can’t think of a better place to stay in the area and would HIGHLY recommend this location!

Short stay at Joshua Tree
This property is a pictured, spacious indoors with lovely outdoor spaces. Excellent location to the park. Kitchen well stocked with dishes, cutlery, small appliances and pans - needed a bit of a wipe prior to using. We appreciated the filtered water for drinking and excellent wifi. Overall comfortable stay in an interesting area.

Great Home to use as a base camp at Joshua Tree
This bungalow is adorable and has everything you need. Everything seems to be carefully chosen for your comfort. The kitchen had everything we needed and the plates and mugs were quality - just like what you might choose for yourself at home. John gave us lots of information and tips. We particularly enjoyed the stargazing from the side yard and enjoyed our coffee either on the front porch swing or the table under the awning out the kitchen door.

Charming space, thoughtful host
This was the perfect spot for me to spend my time when not in the park on my solo getaway. Close to the main drag in JTree and also a straight shot to the park, yet quiet. The basics: easy check in & easy to find, Wifi worked perfectly, great hot water for shower, comfy bed. More: John the host is so easy to communicate with, answered queries promptly, and also really made a welcoming space. I especially loved the espresso maker, the bottle of wine, and the hotel style folding luggage racks to keep your stuff off the floor. Overall great stay, would come back again. Thanks John!

It was our first trip to Joshua national park and we decided to also celebrate our anniversary. My husband and I didn’t know what to expect. However the beautiful bungalow and John’s amazing suggestion made our weekend phenomenal.
