My kids had fun at this property in the game room and backyard. The house was clean, comfortable, and cool. There are lots of restaurants and stores nearby. We had fun playing in the hot tub and spending time by the outdoor fire pit.

Stayed here for a few days with 2 kids while visiting Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs. Was a great place with lots of amenities. Very spacious and clean, well equipped kitchen, outdoor space was great with the hot tub, fire place, grill, and more. The game room was a total bonus and was a great spot to unwind after visiting the park. Was a very easy process to get in and out. Would recommend!
