This is an amazing space in Joshua Tree with very easy access to get to the national park and around town. The inside is spacious and fully of everything you need. The backyard is absolutely incredible and the hosts were easy to get ahold of as well. Check in was super easy. Highly highly recommend!!!

We absolutely loved staying here!! It’s close to everything, and the property is beautiful. So many gorgeous plants outside - all the trees and cactus were in bloom. The space is perfection, inviting, comfortable, and inspiring. The puzzles, books, and paints were so fun. The hot tub was great. HIGHLY recommend, and we’d love to stay here again!

What a fantastic experience staying at the Art House! The house is so unique, clean, cozy and located in a quiet neighborhood not far from all of the activities. Check in and check out was a breeze. John and April are fantastic hosts. In all our travels, we’ve never stayed in such a unique, well cared for home. We will definitely be back.
