This property and home is absolutely beautiful, comfortable and the perfect place to stay in the area. Was there with my mother, the two bedrooms are very comfortable and the kitchen, living room and hot tub were perfect for us to cook and hang out. Others said this- but this place is even better than the pictures. Can not wait to return.
Our stay at Joshua Tree Forest Bungalow was wonderful. We stayed for four nights and visited Joshua Tree NP three days. The accommodations were perfect and our hosts were more than helpful with suggestions. Would stay again! The hot tub was a delight after a day of hiking!
We were very happy with our stay at Josh and Don's comfy bungalow. Great kitchen and appliances, comfy beds and pillows and a nice hot shower. Joshua Trees and cactuses right in the front yard, and 15 minutes to the West entrance of the park.
My husband and I really enjoyed our long weekend in the desert (despite the unexpected snow!). I appreciated the thorough check-in instructions that were sent well in advance as well as the easy cleaning/check-out process. The location was close to Joshua Tree and a number of restaurants/shops, but felt relatively secluded. Overall, an enjoyable vacation. Thank you!
My wife and I had a magical time staying here for a romantic weekend. There are so many thoughtful touches and we absolutely loved the decor - the pictures donât do it justice.
It's close to Joshua Tree Park and other local spots. The home was sparkling clean and fully stocked with everything you would need for a week or weekend away.
We especially loved stargazing from the hot tub and sitting around the fire pit. We canât wait to come back.
We had a very nice time at this property. It was all it was described. The hot tub was great and the stars were beautiful. The owners told us what we should bring (sandals, bathrobe, etc.). There is a gas barbecue. It's a short (1 block) bumpy dirt road (it appears to be somewhat of a wash), but as it wasn't really raining, it wasn't a problem. Town is within 2 miles so plenty of restaurants and grocery stores.
Excellent place for relaxing and exploring Joshua Tree
We very much enjoyed the 2-bedroom house just outside of the town of Yucca Valley. The house has lots of windows - good for enjoying the excellent view of Joshua trees outside the front window. Both bedrooms are a good size - we just used the one. Very comfortable king size bed. The kitchen is excellent - with a good fridge and stove and equipped with everything you could want. The house was very clean and nicely decorated - a relaxing space. We made use of the good heating system since there were some cold days.
The location was perfect for us as we hiked in Joshua Tree National Park every day - close to the northern entrance of the park. Also close to grocery stores and restaurants.
We hope to stay here again!
What an absolutely lovely little bungalow! The attention and thoughtfulness that go into creating a home away from home, is clearly a labor of love. My husband and I stayed for our wedding anniversary. I've spent many vacations in the area but he has never been able to join me due to his busy job. We loved the seclusion of the house, yet the nearness of pretty much everything. It really is perfectly located. The beds were great--It was SO nice to sleep in! We saw a great show at Pappy & Harriet's, ate at La Copine & The Copper Room, made breakfast one day and hiked in Joshua Tree, lounged in the hot tub at night and just had a wonderfully relaxing visit in all. The carport was a major plus! It kept our car cool inside and out of the sun.
All in all? I cannot think of one thing I can complain about. Bravo Josh & Don! You guys nailed it! Thank you! Xo
This is a charming little stay in the middle of Joshua tree that is absolutely darling. Driving down the dirt road to the house I had my doubts, but as soon as we opened the door we were surprised to find a remodeled, clean, well appointed home. The hot tub in the back was a plus. the bed was comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. All in all we really enjoyed our short stay.
Lovely small bungalow w view of the mountains. Perfect place 4 a couple or small family. Well designed & decorated, w comfortable beds & quality linens. Hot tub under the stars at night was a real treat. Good communication w hosts B4 & during stay. Would stay again!
This lovely home didnât disappoint. The location was close to the west entrance to the park; allowing for multiple entries to the park. Close to grocery store and restaurants. This home is well appointed and is better than advertised. I would definitely stay here again and will recommend to friends that might be interested in a Joshua Tree Experience. The owners Checkin/checkout process is seamless with reasonable expectations for departure. The stargazing from the hot tub was fantastic. If I could give 10 stars I would give eleven. Thank you for making our first Joshua Tree experience exceed our expectations.
So happy we found this gem of a property in Joshua Tree. Super close to the park entrance about 7 miles from Pappy and Harrietâs and Pioneertown (which was why we were in town). Great location, quiet neighborhood, the house was spotless upon arrival, itâs clear that the owners, Josh and Don put a lot of care and thought into this house. The decor was simple but stylish, beds, linens and towels were comfy and clean. Kitchen was well stocked and the backyard was amazing. We spent most of our time at the house in the jacuzzi (super clean) and in the backyard. We will absolutely come and stay at this bungalow again or check out their other property. Anytime I needed to get a hold of Josh or Don, it was a few minutes at most to get a response. And to top off this wonderful experience, stupid me, left a bag at the house after we checked out. I asked (but did not expect) to have them ship my bag back to me. Not only did I get a reply in less than 5 mins, but Josh went to the property, picked up the bag and shipped it within a few hours. I wonât forget this kindness and I would say to absolutely rent this spot but only if you leave it as clean as you found it, because I donât want people to party and trash the place, itâs that amazing!!
The property was even better than described. Josh and Don have thought of everything in their desert retreat. Great decor, amenities and convenient to Joshua Tree National Park.
We loved this house! It was exactly as shown in the listing, the owners were super friendly, and it had all the things we needed for our stay! Would definitely recommend this place :)
It was even more wonderful than we imagined!
A great place to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary.
All the comforts of home. Thank you for sharing this wonderful place with us.
The property was great, clean, had everything to enjoy your stay. The beds were very comfortable, beautiful kitchen, great backyard. The layout of the bungalow was excellent. The only bad review was the size of the shower, a bit small, but other than that, a great stay for sure!
Josh and Don were so good at communicating and responding to our emails in a timely manner, the house is so beautiful and cozy. It has everything you need in order to have an awesome time. I will definitely recommend to anyone planning to go visit that area.
We spent our days jumping into joshua tree and then relaxing at the house. The location is cool, you are in the middle of a field of josbua trees. Star gazing is great. Making smores over the fire pit. ALL In, the kids had fun and I could relax. Not much more to ask for.
The Forrest home was ideal for our stay. Josh and Don have created a beautifully artistic and comfortable home. We appreciated all of the artwork, comfy furnishings and great kitchen- and we canât forget to mention the hot tub ! Thank you so much for sharing.
