The spa heating is $75 for 4 hours. Pool heating is $250 per day. This covers the actual cost of the fuel needed to heat it. Note: Heating cannot be guaranteed, and we’re unable to offer discounts if the heater isn’t working during your stay. Pets are not permitted Quiet hours: 9 PM to 8 AM Parties and events are not allowed Smoking only permitted outdoors Please respect shared spaces and neighbors Wildlife You may spot rabbits, roadrunners, lizards, coyotes, and other desert creatures.

Guests are in charge of there own meals and the communal kitchen has all the needed tools for this. There is ample space for storage and everyone who is there. We liked all the other guests we met, there are 4 rooms, so it was quite lovely. The room could have some shelves, hooks, More hangars, places to set things down. There is unused space and this would have been better than putting everything on the floor.

This place was such an amazing surprise. Driving down the bumpy and dusty dirt road we were questioning our life choices! How wrong we were. This place was the most peaceful and serene spot ever - I never got the whole desert thing before this stay. The silence, the serenity, the stargazing from the pool, the amazing sunsets. Jenn was so responsive and the shared spaces were so well stocked with everything you could need to cook a meal. This was supposed to be just a stop and walk a few trails in Joshua Tree before heading to the Grand Canyon but I have a feeling it is going to be a highlight of our Western USA road trip.

Gorgeous little b and b in the middle of the desert with dirt roads, cacti and all the charm. Huge kitchen and living room. The outdoor area was funky and super cool to hag out at.

Un vero gioiello immerso nel deserto di Joshua Tree, camera meravigliosa con bagno privato, cucina e salotto enormi in condivisione. Lo staff manda passo a passo i messaggi con tutte le indicazioni dei codici per gli ingressi nelle stanze, sempre disponibili! Parcheggio all'interno della proprietà. Essendo in una zona sperduta all'interno del parco bisogna andare molto piano con l'auto perché la strada è parecchio sterrata con buche molto profonde, seguire bene i cartelli.

We recommend bringing your own car to get around as there are no public transportation options to get to the house. The Joshua Tree Highlands is loved for its scenic roads and rural neighborhood feel, but please note that the dirt roads can be rough and there are no street lights, so driving slow is highly recommended!
