We absolutely loved our stay. My husband and I were traveling with a toddler, a baby and a dog, and the house was the perfect place for all of us to land. Clean, great kitchen, dining, and living areas, and cozy beds. The backyard was perfect for my dog and son (who loved driving his trucks in the sand), and mom and dad even got a few minutes to relax in the hot tub overlooking the mountains. The house felt very centrally-located to the town, hikes, parks, restaurants and grocery stores. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling to Joshua Tree with a young family (or not!). We can't wait to return!
