Great stay

We loved the location - quiet but easy access to town and the park, great view, comfortable bed and indoor and outdoor spaces. Hosts were very responsive and we had everything we needed for a week of days spent hiking and mostly eating in. A few things could use some maintenance, but nothing that detracted from our stay.

Can’t beat the location

This was such a lovely home! The host went above and beyond with all of the extra amenities. This home worked really well for our family traveling with a 2-year-old and 10-month-old. You also can’t beat the location-only 3 minutes from the NP visitor center.

Perfect Spot in Joshua Tree

Casa Tomas is a wonderful place to stay during a visit to Joshua Tree National Park. The property is very clean and comfortable. It provides a home-like and relaxing atmosphere to enjoy after a day of hiking and rock-climbing. The grill, the fire pit, and the backyard provide a delightful area to unwind. We hope to return.

Perfect home in Joshua Tree

The home was just as pictured and described in the listing. It was nicely decorated, had a well-stocked kitchen and comfortable bedrooms, with a beautiful view from the backyard. It is conveniently located near the western entrance to Joshua Tree National Park and the shops and restaurants in town. Could not have asked for a more quiet, relaxing place to spend a few days while exploring Joshua Tree.

Stay in Joshua Tree

The house was comfortable and very clean. Kitchen was well supplied and it was easy to cook a meal. The only suggestions would be to have a lounge chair in the backyard to stretch out and take a nap in the sun. Also it would be great to have a tv in the bedroom. Overall great house!

Happy travelers

The home was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed for our little family getaway. Our dog really enjoyed the enclosed backyard. I appreciated the various coffee options. My husband enjoyed the retro speaker which adapted to his iPhone. The location is also great, just a couple minutes drive to local restaurants and JT National park.
