Christmas in the Desert

This house went beyond our expectations! We had 9 people including 2 children, there was plenty of room to spread out and the outdoor areas were lovely. We had family dinners every night and the kitchen was well stocked and big enough for many people working together. Maya made everything go smoothly. I would definitely book again!

Joshua Tree Highlands

This house was perfect for our mini-family reunion. It was spacious. Several small groups could participate in different activities, without bothering others. The kitchen was open and well equipped. Every bedroom had comfortable beds and good quality linens. The four bathrooms were clean and modern. We had a great two day stay.

Our second visit this year

We loved this property and returned to celebrate Thanksgiving. The beds are firm and comfortable. The property is very clean. Maya, the property manager, is responsive and values her customers. She make all efforts to ensure our satisfaction. The outdoor jacuzzi and fire pit with Joshua trees view were wonderful and memorable experience. Thank you!!

Nice house

Our group of 7 adults stayed here and it was a great time. The house is huge and very modern. The backyard views are amazing. We did all agree there need to be tv’s in the bedrooms and blinds because the rooms are very bright in the morning! The house is very modern and spacious but it doesn’t feel very homey or comfy if that’s what you’re looking for. Overall still a nice stay and the hot tub in the backyard is truly amazing!

Relaxing and Amazing Views!

This spot was so great and lovely. The house is very comfortable, and we were able to soak in the views from the comfort of the patio or living room. Clean and spacious, it easily fit my group. Maya was also very responsive with any questions we had. I'm hoping to have time to come back and stay at this spot again in the future! Also, I really appreciated the tips on best roads to drive on.
