We would stay at the Back Haus again in a heartbeat! It’s a lovely, huge, studio-like apartment – except that it’s a small house. it’s spacious, a fully stocked kitchen and small appliances – except microwave, a lovely big bath and shower, and a washer and dryer. The location is in the hills just above Joshua Tree convenient to both town and the national park. The Back Haus is located in a dark sky area if you’d like to stargaze just outside the front door. A lovely, very quiet, and relaxing place to stay.

Comfortable, great location

Really enjoyed the location and amenities the property offered. Room darkening shades kept it dark at night. View is amazing with lovely sitting area. Star watching is easy in the dark sky community.

Perfect. Relaxing…hope to book again.

This is the first time I’ve booked a vacation rental and the space exceeded my expectations based on the photos…this place is MORE spacious and elegant with a bay of windows that capture the beautiful view, skylights in the high ceiling, lots of storage and convenient appliances. . The quiet outdoor sitting area is magical and as we hung out around the fire pit….we saw beautiful desert birds and animals…including two sweet quail that greeted us the first day. Well appointed, clean, very nice linens right down to Parachute brand guest robes, comfortable bed…..hope to be back!

It was nice staying here. Everything is in a very good condition. Everything was extremely new even the towels smelt nice. It's spacious and comfortable. Despite being in the "desert" it had everything I needed to live comfortably. Heating was fantastic for when the temperature dropped. Most importantly when you stepped out, all you could see were stars!

Great little desert retreat

This very large studio space had everything I needed for a few days of quiet retreat. The neighborhood was quiet and the space felt private from the main residence. Full kitchen, comfortable bed and the robe and slippers were a lovely surprise!

Back Haus

House is new and immaculately clean. Refreshing European layout in the midst of the desert. Location conveniently near the West entrance and main road, with very dark sky during new moon for stargazing. Driveway is surrounded with cactus garden on both sides. Unit is fully furnished with soap shampoo kitchenware, TV and internet and even records of old classics. Very stylish and swanky unit. Highly recommended for couples or friends.
