Perfect little Joshua Tree house

Excellent communication from the owner to include ease of entry to the home, hike recommendations, and how to use the numerous amenities in the house. This spot is situated very close to a national park visitors' center, as well as great pizza and coffee. If my husband and return to the area, we wouldn't bother looking for lodging anywhere else.

Exceptional Location, Accommodations

This is the perfect place to stay for a mother-daughter weekend in Joshua Tree, near the national park. The cozy, impeccably clean and quiet bungalow is near the park's West entrance and there's shopping for vintage clothing, funky art and objects and a variety of eateries near by. The Bungalow host thinks of all the special touches to make for a memorable getaway.

Short stay at Joshua Tree

This property is a pictured, spacious indoors with lovely outdoor spaces. Excellent location to the park. Kitchen well stocked with dishes, cutlery, small appliances and pans - needed a bit of a wipe prior to using. We appreciated the filtered water for drinking and excellent wifi. Overall comfortable stay in an interesting area.

Excellent Bungalow to stay while in Joshua Tree

John was an exceptional host, with great communication. Provided all the information needed to enjoy our stay. The Bungalow had everything you could need, and comfortable. It was really well decorated, and the outdoor area was enjoyable, spending a lot of time outside. Being very close to the National Park, was also great, as we spent many days hiking. We would definitely recommend staying here, if you are in the area. When we return to Joshua Tree in the future, we will be staying at the Bungalow.

Hubby's birthday at Joshua Tree

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the Bungalow. John's eye for the eclectic mix of decor is esthetically uplifting. I enjoyed time on the porch swing as well as in the sun in the "star gazing" area.

Joshua Tree National Park Stay

The place is as advertised! John started us out with a list of trails, groceries and restaurants, called when the place was ready, had a nice bottle of wine waiting on us, and didn't get mad when I accidentally had the house alarm go off while we were on the patio gazing at the amazing stars! We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend!
