The Joshua Tree Forest:FREE* Heated Salt Pool,City&Mtn.Views,BBQ,1/2 ACRE,Billiards,Board Games!

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay! The house was very clean, spacious, and perfect for our big family. The kids loved the pool, and the backyard had plenty of seating for BBQs and evening hangouts. There’s even a campfire pit—we were all ready for s’mores, but it rained that Saturday night, so maybe next time. The kids ended up watching a movie instead, and the movie room was a huge hit.If your family loves to cook, the kitchen is very spacious and fully stocked with everything you need—pots, pans, utensils, and more. The bathrooms were nice and clean, and the strong Wi‑Fi was a big plus for everyone.All the bedrooms were large and comfortable, with hotel‑style pillows and mattresses (super comfy!), and the extra air mattresses and folding beds with memory foam made it easy to accommodate everyone.The host was very responsive and quick to answer any questions. The location was super convenient—close to the Joshua Tree North entrance, grocery stores, McDonald’s, and Starbucks for quick stops.Overall, it was the perfect spot for a family getaway. Highly recommended!"

10/10 Excellent
"This is one of the nicest places in the High Desert. Every attention to detail has been thought through. It is so clean and everything works outstanding without any strange “quirks”. This place is perfect for stargazing and there a many different chair set-ups in the back yard to catch the sky from different angles. All of the furniture is clean, new, and comfortable. Every single kitchen gadget and utensil was carefully thought through. I like it keep things tidy during my stay and there were cleaning tools and cleaners readily available which I really appreciated. I also like that the host requests no shoes inside. This keeps everything very clean as well.Chris, the host responded to any question and also followed up to make my stay was going well. If you are looking for a considerable place to stay in the High Desert near Joshua Tree, this place should be top on your list of considerations."

"Sid and Sofia were excellent hosts! Their beautiful home is just as wonderful as the website details. The kitchen was well-stocked, they left yummy snacks and a bottle of wine for us, and the Wi-Fi was great. We stayed here to watch a meteor shower, and the backyard offered an amazing, wide-open view of the sky with very comfortable seating. The hot tub was also the perfect way to relax after a hot day of hiking in Joshua Tree. Highly recommend!"
