Kitchen is small but well stocked with everything you need to actually cook. Interesting artwork throughout. Great light, beautiful landscaping and outdoor space. Nice, quiet neighborhood. ##### Jennifer M. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arthur K. May 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Getaway We ended up at Sarah's place after Vrbo cancelled a reservation elsewhere in town. This house is great as a base of operations for JTNP, as well as for a brief retreat with high comfort yet outdoor pleasures. Sarah was quickly responsive to questions. It was an easy good time. ##### Arthur K. Stayed 2 nights in May 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### James L. Feb 28, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful location and house! Great house, comfy bed and plenty of space. About time for an upgrade in the bathroom but other than that everything was excellent. ##### James L. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2022 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Ross A. Nov 15, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Joshua Tree Retreat Loved this place. Beautiful views inside and outside the house, secluded desert location, and nice home layout made this such a relaxing place to getaway. Mountain biked the local trails, enjoyed the sunset dinners, and loved the hot tub under the desert skies. Sarah was very accommodating as a host, and we will be sure to return. Many thanks, Ross ##### Ross A. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### david n. Oct 18, 2021 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Should be called Desert Dusty. Location, landscaping and property in general was very good.. Outside very charging, inside highly funtional with good sized rooms and lots of windows, kitchen plenty of utensils, dishes, etc... What was really a dissapointment was how dusty the place was. The blinds, corners of floor, hair, pet dander,ceiling fans all had many layer of built up dust, spider webs and dead bugs. There also looked like there was mold or fungus in the bathrooms in the showers and on the sink tiles. Now I realized these are rentals and not to expect too much (even when the photos look spotless)... but this was on the owner and thier lack of consistent housekeeping. I did mention this to Sarah and did not get a reply other than "its been windy lately" - I do I did not know that wind blower in spider website and hair. Oh and the fire pit didnt work. So if you arent that pick about dust, bugs or spider webs or dont have allergies, then this place is perfect. ##### david n.
