Dark Sky viewing
Group of 4 who came to Casa Altura for star viewing. Overall worked out very well. Very close (5 min drive) to Joshua Tree Natl Park, very well stocked kitchen and amazingly responsive host/management service when hot tub wouldn’t turn on. One small issue: the fridge had juice spilled in it upon our arrival.

Perfect Spot
I recently stayed at Casa Altura for two days, and it was an incredible experience. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating, and check-in was a breeze. The property itself is stunning, with spacious rooms and breathtaking views of the sunset, sunrise, and night sky. The pool and hot tub were fantastic, and nearby trails added to the adventure. The sound system is incredible and perfect for hearing your music in crystal clear quality. Stores were conveniently close by for anything we needed. I highly recommend Casa Altura for a peaceful, beautiful getaway in the desert.

Best views, close to town, a stress-free stay
I had the best time staying at Casa Altura. The view was amazing. The stars were visible every night and the sun rising over the mountains was spectacular. I’m glad I chose to stay here. It was so close to town that I could pop back in to rest throughout the day. Eddie was a fantastic host, checking in periodically to make sure my trip was going well. Also, everything was labeled in the house, which was incredibly helpful. I will definitely be back.

This is a great place!! Its a short 5 min drive to the Joshua Tree Park. Up the road from the main street but far away that you enjoy the quiet. The backyard is facing a nice hill where there is a lot of wildlife. You will have everything you need at the house. It comes fully stocked and you can tell they went through the effort to build on the vibe.

Casa Altura Review
This stay was an absolute treat! The property is as described (if not better) with a great view of the Joshua Tree landscape. Cleanliness, amenities, and location were a 10/10. On top of that, the property owner was helpful to share resources of the town and sights to see. They were always responsive with questions before, during, and after the stay and periodically checked in to make sure the stay was up to our liking. Such a great experience and I will definitely be back!

Oasis in Joshua Tree
There is so much to commend about this home. The host is awesome and very accessible but importantly he clearly loves the area and shares awesome recommendations from restaurants to local hikes and so much more. The proximity to Joshua Tree National Park can’t be beat. You might find yourself tempted to just hang back and spend your time in Casa Alturas lounging by the pool… I will recommend Casa Alturas to everyone!

Casa Altura is a dream desert retreat! What a lovely property with an exciting canyon hike available right from the property! Great access to JT park’s west entrance and convenient to JT shops and restaurants. Eddie is a phenomenal host, the home is so comfortable and the kitchen is so well stocked with cookware and basics that you could pretty much cook anything. Great communication with the host and a beautiful property add up to an unforgettable experience. The old school analog stereo was a particular treat! Look forward to coming back!

We spent an amazing week at Casa Altura in Joshua Tree. The house and pool were outstanding. Entrance to Coyote Hole canyon is right up the street and the main entrance to Joshua Tree is 5 minutes away. Eddie was super helpful and super responsive- we listened to all of his vinyl on the new turntable. We will definitely be staying again!
