A lovely place to stay! This home was very cute, exactly as described/photographed. David and Sandra were very communicative with easy to understand check-in/check out instructions. The home is a 10 minute walk to the town of Joshua tree, and a 10 minute drive to the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. Lots of windows and natural light, with greatly appreciated AC and plenty of privacy due to the fence/gate.

VERY cute space! It was bigger than expected and was very close to Joshua Tree Nat Park. We would gladly stay here again when we're back in town. Highly recommend!

Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre séjour à Joshua Tree! Le logement était propre et très bien situé, à quelques pas de tout! Un peu humide par moment, mais il ne fallait qu’allumer l’air climatisé. Nous retournerions volontier à ce Airbnb!

A very nice Airbnb, lovingly decorated and spotlessly clean, the bed is very comfortable, and the kitchen has everything you need! The location, right at the entrance to the national park, is perfect. Check-in and check-out couldn’t have been easier, and communication with David and Sandra was very pleasant – a great place to stay when visiting the beautiful Joshua Tree Park!

We had a great time at the Airbnb. We also did stargazing, and the backyard of the Airbnb is a perfect spot. A very nice place for visiting Joshua Tree if you want to stay overnight.
