The quiet natural setting is soul-quenching. Just what was needed. The place was as clean as I keep my own home...and I'm fussy...ask anyone!Cheryl was right there when we had any questions. She was always polite and patient.The gamble quails, the tortoise, the hummingbirds and jays, even the bobcat stopped by for a brief moment. What more can anyone ask for?
The colors were amazing! And, the hosts were very efficient with their instructions. My husband had a pack of coyotes roll up on him during an evening stroll, but we were well prepared given the instructions. This was a spontaneous road trip, but would recommend/visit again.
Lovely site, lovely home on a bluff. Just right for family & friends. Very well preserved ranch house with clean, well kept grounds. Lots of charming antiques. Close enough to town but far enough for quiet, nature walks & stargazing. Saw jackrabbits, coyotes, & quail every day. Great wifi and big screen tv but you'll want to be up to see the sunrise here
Looking for a simple, relaxing desert getaway, hoping for nice views and a quiet place to spend the nights, we were blown away by this location! One of the first things I saw on the property was the gorgeous Joshua tree right in front, which was blossoming with white flowers. Beautiful. Next, as I walked around to the back, I was amazed that the "back yard" was desert as far as the eye could see. Joshua trees, brush, sand, rocks, and the region's signature stony hills in the background. About 50 ft in front of me, an enormous jackrabbit spotted me before I spotted it, and it prudently sprinted away. Five minutes later, admiring the view, we saw a gorgeous and pretty sizeable barn owl swoop over the house! Or favorite time was sunrise, of which the property has a breathtaking view. In the house, everything was great: well stocked kitchen, comfy bed, pleasant aesthetic, basically everything where it should be and functioning well. Very quiet neighborhood, extremely low light pollution, wonderful place for stepping outside and seeing an incredible night sky.
Quiet serene cabin perched on the top of the hill. Abundance of wildlife and gorgeous rock formations at your doorstep. Sipping morning tea on the front porch and watching the Jack rabbits hopping around and having a short visit by a coyote was spectacular. Such a little desert gem and only a short 20 minute drive from Joshua Park. Excellent host and cleanliness. Next time going south this will be my stop once more.
Of all the places weâve stayed this ranks among the very best. Roomy house, nice view, solitude, and proximity to Joshua Tree National Park, Pioneertown Mountains Preserve, Sand to Snow National Monument, Giant Rock, and of course, Coachella Valley and Palm Springs. Lots of outdoor space for our bulldog, interesting wildlife, just a great place complete with Joshua Trees on the premises.
We absolutely loved our stay. When I look for places to stay I am looking for quiet secluded places. This place was top notch in this regard. Close to town yet super quiet. Definitely would stay again.
Stayed here two weeks ago, and it was the perfect home for our family of four. Had all the creature comforts we needed with two little ones: from a fully stocked kitchen, heater (it was extremely chilly at night), games, and comfy beds. My two little sons 5 and 7 loved watching the birds in the morning and exploring the amazing natural preserve right in the backyard! Cheryl was timely with all her responses and a delight. Will definitely stay at again!
This home is very comfortable. Communication with the hosts was easy. Getting here is the daylight the first time helped us find our way. The short drive up a dirt road was totally worth it. The 360 degree views, awesome
We rented this house because it slept 4 and it was just up out of the Yucca Valley. We really appreciated the house, and the very quiet surrounding area that was lovely. The house was perfect for us!!
The home is very nicely remodeled everything is new and well-maintained. They had every thing you would want in the kitchen, bathroom sheets towels. Hot tub worked perfectly. Management is helpful and friendly. Itâs a great Location close to stores and
We were very happy with our stay here. House was as described and was very conveniently located for our visit to Joshua Tree National Park. Two comments though for visitors-to-be. One is that many of the residential roads in the area are dirt, including about the last 3 minutes of the drive to this one. While the road was in generally good shape, it is definitely bumpy in places. Our second comment is that the living area and bedrooms are rather dimly lit with only lamps to provide light; my wife likes to knit, and this would have been an issue if she hadn't brought a battery-powered headlamp with her.
A really wonderful place to take in the magic of the high desert
We had such a wonderful stay at Cheryl's beautiful home that is situated right on the edge of a nature preserve. The home is so charming with lots of lovely touches and Cheryl was such a brilliant, communicative host. Everything went seamlessly. We would definitely stay again!
Weâve stayed here a couple of times, greatly enjoyed it, very homey feel to it, home away from home! You have your own Joshua tree park right out your back door to explore, Home is up on a hill, so beautiful view of surrounding area. Cheryl the host, lives nearby, always quick to respond to any questions and needs. Will definitely be back here again.
