Other Details to Note

We have thoughtfully renovated the house but it's still a little quirky (some light switches are in strange places!) We love that it has character and we hope you fall for its charm too. If you find anything not working or missing please let us know personally straight away rather than leaving it in a review. Your comfort - as well as our 5 star ratings! - are important to us. Some roads are unpaved but accessible; higher clearance is helpful but not necessary. Pets: Up to two dogs allowed ($95 fee). No cats. Quiet hours: 10 PM – 8 AM Parties and events are not allowed. The home uses a septic system, please flush toilet paper only. Children should be supervised outdoors. Wood stove is decorative only.

Beautiful, quiet, serene. It’s no joke about it being a bit off the beaten path but the unpaved roads are more than worth it! It’s a gorgeous property. Definitely make sure you arrive in the day time! Super responsive & helpful when I had any questions. Really appreciated the delicious coffee on hand!

Hands down this might be my favorite Airbnb ever!!! Fantastic home that has so many personalized artistic touches that really add to the beauty of this location. Just enough property to feel secluded & private but also close to Joshua Tree National Park. We loved the quirkiness of the home - it was perfect for our family of 5 to spread out and enjoy the outside beauty but also so much space to rest and relax. We especially enjoyed the cowboy pool and hot tub. My kids enjoyed playing ping pong too! Everything was impeccably clean and tidy and Jenn was incredibly responsive and helpful. We loved being able to grind the provided local coffee beans daily and the sunrises and sunsets were gorgeous; then the stargazing at night was unbelievable. You won’t regret this choice. Was worth the extra drive on the dirt road to feel a bit off the grid for a few days. I was so sad to leave and wish we had booked for longer. Also the beds were incredibly comfy!

We had a beautiful, peaceful and relaxing 4 days. The home is full of art and beauty, ~ well appointed and was freshly cleaned. Whether reading, touring & hiking Joshua Tree, soaking in the hot tub, cooling in the cowboy tub (both crystal clear), enjoying unobstructed glorious sunsets & the night sky~ our stay was lovely. Though remotely located ~ this property did not disappoint for what we needed. Thank you for a wonderful stay and being a 5***** host.

The home was beautiful and peaceful, perfect for a quick break from LA madness. Communication from host was clear and timely. They let us check in an hour early, as we arrived sooner than anticipated. Would definitely book again.

We went there with our three kids (ages 1, 2, and 5). The stargazing was amazing, and the place is very private with a ten-million-dollar view. It was very clean and spacious enough for the children to run and play. Our kids really enjoyed staying there and had lots of fun in the jacuzzi as well. Jenn is very responsive and kind, and she was easy to communicate with. The kitchen was easy to use and had everything we needed to cook, with clean and well-organized kitchenware. We will definitely come back. Thank you,m Jenn, we made great memories!
