We loved the Desert Ruby!

A group of 8 of us stayed here and loved it! Easy to get to, and Jerry was super helpful and accommodating. A great spot if you are looking to explore the Joshua Tree area.

Yucca Valley Stay

This was our first visit to the area and it did not disappoint. The location of the home was perfect and close to a lot of trails and parks. Not far from Palm Springs and an easy drive. The house was great and had everything we needed. The yard was awesome. Quite unique area with star filled evenings.

Great place to stay!

The owners were attentive and responsive. The house was clean with a cute coffee station and wine station. Wifi was fast enough for meetings. And the gym was basic but clean and convenient. With 4 bedrooms - plenty of place to spread around, especially for 1 family. The backyard was huge and spacious.

We love Desert Ruby!

Everything about the property was perfect. The spacious backyard was nice for our dog to run around and stretch his legs, and the hammocks and swing were fun to just sit back and relax. We loved going outside to stargaze and just enjoy the quiet and peaceful surroundings. There were even dog and infant supplies available which were greatly appreciated. The bedrooms were so cozy and comfortable, and the giant tv in the living room was perfect for movie night. Thank you Jerry for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

Communication and check-in went well but I found the property to be completely unlike the pictures. It is dark, gloomy and dated. Garbage was piled up outside and there were tons of flies in the house which made our stay miserable. Clogged sink, bathroom door didn’t lock…We didn’t even use the hot tub or anything because the whole place just felt unpleasant. If you’re looking for modern and newer property, this is not it. Was disappointed with this experience and I am perplexed by these reviews …

Family thanksgiving was great!

This was a spacious rental to host our family thanksgiving of 10 plus 2 dogs. Perfect sized game room wto run around outside. The kitchen needs more supplies aif you plan to cook for big parties. We didnt have a roast pan and no automatic coffeemaker. Otherwise, its fully stocoed with most items. Perfect location in a nice quiet neighborhood. Tith pool table, the dogs were able
