We had never been to Joshua Tree, and we decided to take a trip for a little girls' weekend. Everyone told us that we had to stay in Joshua Tree and they weren't to sure about Twenty Nine Palms. Insert confusion. The location of the house is in a cute little neighborhood, enough parking for 2 cars, and seems to be the better access into the park. Less lines and you can come out of the Joshua Tree exit if you want to explore the town. Or just drive the 15 minutes to see all the eclectic wonders. The house was very clean and cute. The sitting furniture is probably just a tad uncomfortable to lounge in, but other than that its the perfect way to stay while in JT. Would stay there again.
