So Peaceful

My daughter and i stayed for a little.Mother's Day weekend retreat. Our stay was perfect! So close to the park. So quiet and comfy to come back to at the end of a day exploring the park. The views are wonderful. So quiet and relaxing. The house is well appointed, we didn't need for a single thing.

Great Place

This was a nice house. Would have been nice to have a carport with the hot sun. Also maybe a King bed in at least one room. The kitchen was very well stocked with anything you would need to cook. We enjoyed the park a lot more than we actually thought we would. We went into the park early to avoid the heat in the afternoon. Stayed 2 nights

Howdy! Thank you for your thoughtful review! 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed the house and found the kitchen well stocked 🍳. I also appreciate your feedback about the carport and bed size, guest input like this is always helpful as I look for ways to improve the experience. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the park more than expected 🌵 and that getting in early helped you beat the heat ☀️. Thanks again for staying, and I’d be happy to host you again in the future!

Paradise in the Desert!

This VRBO property did not disappoint. The house is equipped with everything you could want or need for a vacation getaway. It is tastefully decorated and spotless inside and is right outside the Joshua Tree Park entrance. The area around the house is peaceful and quiet, with only one other house around. Our favorite time in the home was opening the automatic blinds in the bedroom to watch the colors in the sky over the mountains for sunrise! The property manager, Hilary, was easy to contact with any questions and replied almost immediately. Definitely recommend.

Lovely setting near Joshua Tree

The property is a small, well-kept, well furnished, and attractive cottage near an entrance to Joshua Tree National Park with wonderful views. Logistics were easy, and the host was very understanding when I had to leave mid-stay because of a family health issue at home.

Howdy! I'm Hilary. I'm a full time Airbnb host and have hiked every trail in Joshua Tree National Park. I hope to share my love of the desert with guests. I love providing recommendations. Check out our blog for Joshua Tree www.wkndr.life

Why they chose this property

As one of our guests put it, “Amazing spot if seclusion, privacy and natural, otherworldly beauty is what you seek. On a clear night, the sky unveils everything it has to offer. The kitchen is great, the beds are comfy and the fire pit is exactly where you need to be. Thoughtful, minimalistic design elements add to the uniqueness.”

What makes this property unique

As another guest said, "Wow. Staying at this beautiful property is almost like living in Joshua Tree National Park, but with all the comforts of home, and then some! Hilary put thought into making this property a comfort for her guests. The kitchen had the greatest variety of cookware that I've experienced in my Airbnb experience. The large availability of outlets (all types - USB & traditional) was unexpected and utilized! The high quality hammocks were great for stargazing and strong air conditioning much appreciated. 5 out of 5 stars *****!
