My stay at the Desert Daisy Casita was perfect. It is an upgraded and very well maintained homestead cabin with a boho interior theme. There are many great things about this place: Very clean and cozy Beautiful and logical kitchen design Hot hot tub under the stars Fire pit Extended patio for dining Far from the highway for that secluded feeling Very nice tile shower Great games and books (I recommend _Welcome the Wonder Valley_ by William Hillyard — informative history and creepy lore) Very clean and simple exterior. Heather was very responsive and considerate when communicating with me. It was a very welcoming and comfortable stay.

This was exactly as advertised and exactly what I was looking for in a weekend retreat. The house is 20 minutes from the Joshua Tree NP entrance, and secluded enough to have an incredible number of stars in the night sky. The house was well appointed and the hosts were thoughtful in their care. If you’re looking for an escape to the desert, look no further!

Perfect desert getaway!

Cute house! Far enough from the town for great star gazing, but close enough if we needed anything. The cowboy pool was perfect to escape the desert heat while we watched a storm on the horizon! Will definitely stay again when we're in the area! Thanks!

Great weekend vacation

We loved everything about this place! Hosts made check in easy, provided a binder with a bunch of info like local restaurants and fun activities in the area. I loved having a copy of Joshua tree book and park map, it provided so much info to plan out our day at the park. The little touches made it so much more special like the s’mores and wine. We will love to come back again!

Wonderful Desert Getaway

My wife and I loved our stay, and would definitely stay again. Great communication with the host, and everything was as-described. Fairly remote, but with some neighbors. Surrounded by mountain views! For anyone planning on working remotely, the wifi is usable, but has a noticeable delay (video calls, etc) because it's via satellite. Overall 5 stars, we loved it!

Perfect Weekend Getaway

This was the perfect getaway for me and my friends. We needed a break from the city. Although it was a long drive from LA, it was so worth it. The house was so clean, neat, stylish, and cozy. The amenities were amazing, including water, snacks, and a bottle of wine. Heather was helpful, kind, and responsive. The place had a cool and “artsy” vibe which was perfect for Instagram and TikTok videos lol. My only “negative” was that we weren’t able to use the pool (which was a big reason we booked) as the pipes were frozen, so be sure to check with Heather before you book. However, we still had a great time and would come back in a heart beat.

Peace & Tranquility

Our host was very communicative with us. She made herself available for any questions that we had and was very prompt to answer. If you are looking to be away from city chaos, this location is for you. A lot of privacy from any neighbors (which are at quite a disctance from you) The living space was perfect! The a/c kept us cool when it got to be 113 outside, the kitchen had everything we needed and more. Highlight for us was definitely the Chemex. The pool was perfect both during the day and the evening. The North entrance of the National Park is a quick drive from the property with no traffic issues. I would suggest you come prepared with what you need since the closest stores are quite the trip away from the property. This was exactly what we were looking for to disconnect and recharge. Definitely a place we will be returning to.

Meteor Shower Visit

Our stay here was great, we really enjoyed our visit! The rental was well stocked with supplies, especially the kitchen, which has many spices and all the utensils/dishes you'll need for cooking. The property itself is very secluded, meaning that the views at night are incredible! We saw many meteors just sitting out near the firepit, and the Milky Way is visible at pretty much all times. Views of planets and other DSOs are good as well, not quite complete dark but very close to it! There is very little obscuring the sky as well so the stargazing here was overall excellent. Small comment is that the bedrooms do tend to get a bit stuffy given that they don't have an attached A/C units to either of them, but as long as the main units are running and the rooms are left open it's not very bad at all. They also have fans, which helps a lot! Also, the road leading in is all dirt for the last 1.5 miles; not unexpected given the area, but just something to note for anyone considering it! If you have a smaller car like we did, you'll want to take it nice and slow through there. The hosts were very communicative and did a good job of staying in contact for any need/questions. Wifi was also surprisingly good, we were able to stream a few shows and some music during our cooking/down time. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and could easily recommend the property to anyone looking for a place to stargaze, or even just as a getaway close to Joshua Tree!

Great Getaway!

My buddy and I were wanting a desert camping experience, ie sitting around a real campfire and taking in the nighttime serenity of the desert, but we’re getting a little older and we would rather have a nice small place that we can sleep in a comfortable bed and stay warm as opposed to sleeping in a cold tent. Desert Daisy Casita was perfect for our needs and then some! I was pleasantly surprised at the charm and comfort that the property provides. Heather is an excellent host. She was very accommodating, very responsive and very pleasant to work with. We were only there for a couple of days, not long enough… so we’ll definitely be considering a future return.

nice place

the only thing not communicated in the add that's true is that the kitchen is pretty fully loaded. Even has a weigh scale for baking. Maybe cast iron and a couple more stainless steel frying pans and it would definitely be fully loaded. I can understand them not being in a rental though. Don't stay if you 're freaked out by coyotes or hate being waken by packs fighting, killing, mating outside. We stayed for 3 nights and it went on every night. Bring ear plugs if you'd rather sleep through it. There's life out there. I enjoyed it. unfortunately, it wasn't actually hot enough to enjoy the pool, although I soaked my feet in it a few times. we never met, but Hosts are great!

Perfect getaway, close to Joshua Tree

We went to visit Joshua Tree for the first time, and this property is very close by, which made our trip easy and convenient. This was a perfect getaway property to stay in. The house is clean, fresh, warm, personable, with cute interior designs. I love the outdoor area with the tank pool and view of the mountains, especially in the morning and early evenings during sunrise and sunset. You get what you see in the pictures, and the reviews are on point. Heather was very helpful and responsive, and made the process to book so easy. I definitely recommend this place!

Nice two bedroom home

First the property, It’s out there, which is what I wanted; make sure you stop at the store first. It’s a nice plot of land with a horseshoe and fire pit. It can get windy but you can’t hear it inside the home. The home, Nice livable two bedroom with a full kitchen. A add on tv room makes for the cozy home for the person looking to leave stress behind for a few days. Over all a nice quite stay in a lovely home

Beautiful Home for a Get Away

The Desert Daisy Casita was a perfect get away for our family of four. The house is adorable and the hosts thought of all the details: kitchen supplies (including cooking oils), bathroom amenities, wine (though we never got around to drinking it), wood for the fire pit outside, graham crackers and chocolate for s'mores, extra blankets, etc. It was a bit windy when we were at the house in the late evening, so we didn't spend time on the front patio - but it had an area to relax and an area to eat outside, which looked really nice. The house was also nicely decorated with a lot of cute touches - it was even more charming than the pictures show and was perfect for our family of 4. The beds were comfy and the view of the night sky was phenomenal on a clear day! The drive to Joshua Tree was not very far and it was great entering the 'less popular' entrance so the lines going in and out of the park were non-existent. Plus, there is wifi so you can post your pictures when you get back from the park. The main road that the house is on is long and was covered with sand/dirt from the winds, so we had to drive pretty slow in our mini-van on that portion, but it's the desert so we can't fault that. Plus, it was very nice being away from it all in the peace and quiet. It is a bit of a drive from the nearest grocery store and restaurants (which the hosts state in the description), so if you have little kids who don't want to leave the house after a long day of hiking make sure you have snacks and meals to cook. Or just send out your husband to bring something back to the house. ;) I would definitely recommend staying here for a quiet and peaceful get away when visiting Joshua Tree.
