Our stay was brief but exactly what needed while in town! It was very close to the main restaurants and stores in Joshua Tree and about 10 minutes from the park entrance Everything was as described and checking and check out were easy. This airbnb had great WiFi, especially for Joshua tree which is often spotty! I would recommend this location for two people.

Cute place, it had unique touches to give the space a homey feel. Walking distance to restaurants, stores. The backyard was fenced for our pup and set up for hanging out, definitely a plus. Highly recommend.

The place was great! Exactly what you need when you want to have a peaceful environment but still walkable distance to the town. It was quiet and private without feeling like you’re secluded.

Pasamos una estancia muy agradable. Habia una tienda que tambien era mercado a solo 2 cuadras de distancia y el camino de acceso al parque estaba muy cerca. La cocina a pesar de estar pequeña estaba muy bien equipada. La casa tiene detalles decorativos por todas partes. Lo único que no nos gustó de la casa es que no tiene lavadora y secadora y las sillas del comedor con muy incómodas. Todo lo demás estuvo muy bien, incluyendo el patio amplio para que pudiera salir a jugar nuestro pastor australiano. Nos volveríamos a hospedar de nuevo. Ademas, mi esposa estuvo muy enferma la noche anterior a nuestra salida y nos permitieron salir casi y hora mas tarde de la hora de check out, lo cual nos ayudó mucho.
