Dale was very communicative and friendly and gave us a thorough tour of the house and property upon our arrival--it's clear that he has put a lot of work into it and is a steward of the land and a genuine appreciator of Joshua Tree's beauty. The kitchen is fully stocked, the beds are comfortable, the outdoor spaces are wonderful to spend time in. We even saw big horns during our stay! Very close to downtown Joshua Tree and not far from Twentynine Palms or Yucca Valley. If you're looking for a peaceful vacation in nature, this is the place for you. ##### Maggie R. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jun L. Jul 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Relax and explore all on the same property! The house was a bit cramped for a family of five but we didn't book this place to be inside. It's an older house so don't expect modern day luxuries but the AC blows cold, the water pressure is great, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook meals and there are plenty of books to read if you're into that. Also, there's a great coffee spot (Mas o menos) right down the street which was a plus. Dale is accommodating and will give you a tour of the site during your check in. I know this isn't for everyone so just keep that in mind. The real star of the show is the back side of the property. There's a stand alone jacuzzi which is perfect for relaxing and staring at the sky. The pool is amazing and fenced in and backs up to the sprawling boulder area. My kids loved climbing the boulders and each day they would explore higher and higher. The high cave was their favorite spot. It was great to have that option for the days we didn't feel like making the trek into JTNP. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it. ##### Jun L.

I wished we could have stayed longer than 1 full day because we didn’t even get to lounging poolside. We did enjoy exploring the caves, the wonderful hot tub under the stars, and even meeting the resident roadrunner who greeted us at breakfast. Dale is a spry young man who has lived a full life and is full of stories! He’s built something amazing here. ##### Schaffen B. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raul J.

We were looking to relax and we definitely found the place to do it. Dale has done a great job turning the grounds into a private & relaxing getaway nestled in the rocks. The grounds are great for hanging out by the pool to read, swim or take a nap in the hammock (which I did). Star gazing in the jacuzzi was fantastic and all the stores & restaraunts are 10/15min away. You can hike around right from the house & all the patios have a view. We ate breakfast outside every morning. The resident Roadrunner paid us several visits as well. We will definitely be going back! The ##### Raul J.

Beautiful gardens.We were a party of 4 ( 2 couples) visiting from Vermont looking for a base to explore Joshua Tree National Park. We drove from Las Vegas after 3 nights of Dead & Company at the Sphere and wanted a chill place to hang & enjoy nature.Boy, did we hit the jackpot!Dale is a wonderful host & we couldn’t have been happier with our stay.The pool & spa were so clean & refreshing.The whole property is absolutely magical with eye popping vistas in all directions. We especially loved all the terraces outside every room in the home bordered by mammoth rock formations & beautiful gardens. All the paths throughout the property are a joy to explore.We found the home included all the necessary amenities for cooking, cocktail making, & relaxing one could possibly imagine. We enjoyed a campfire every evening as we awaited the night sky & desert critters.One of the coolest lodging experiences we’ve encountered. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8c55c243-8592-4e02-9ba2-8bf23cb39299-1745436745281.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/449563ba-021a-4657-a209-b6eb2e6c00ec-1745436744655.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/691bc22d-86ff-40f8-8001-aa41356364ed-1745436745571.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f142d588-54ff-4b95-a1e3-8eb99897b6c1-1745436745357.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lexie G.

We built a fire several evenings and sat in the jacuzzi… wonderful! The house is a bit old fashioned and lovely with the art and books all around. Very private. The pool area is beautiful but it was too chilly for us to swim. Dale is a great guy! ##### Theresa J.

The layout outside with the pool and hot tub was great. My wife and I had a most relaxing time. The house is between the west and north entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the north entrance, which is less busy than the west entrance. We saw lots of lizards and gila monsters on the property. There is a nice hike on the property as well. We were lucky enough to see a bobcat on one of the last days we were there! That was very exciting, as they are very skittish. The only complaint I would have(very minor), is the kitchen is a little small. There is plenty of seating to eat inside or out. We ate outside most of the time, which was pleasant. I highly recommend staying here! Dale kept in contact, and made sure everything was satisfactory. Thank you Dale! We will be back in the near future! ##### Tony Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob P.

The pool and hot tub are set into the rocks as shown in the pictures. The house has all the amenities necessary for a trouble free and serene stay and the beds were very comfortable. Grocery stores and shops are a few minutes away, however, the property is far enough away to provide a tranquil, relaxing experience. Dale is a very interesting host and is available a short distance away to answer any questions. This was the perfect location for a family weekend. ##### Rob P.

Life becomes rich when you stay in beautiful places and meet interesting people. If you’re a creative family and would like an experience that is not cookie cutter, you will enjoy this property! The location of the home situated adjacent to huge boulders was truly profound. Our seven-year-old daughter’s highlight was climbing the boulders and exploring the cave and of course swimming in the salt water pool. She said she wanted to stay and build a tiny home on the cliff overlooking the pool! We will cherish our experience in Joshua Tree. Dale was a kind and interesting host, his passion and creativity was a true inspiration. ##### Andrea S. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher C. May 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Getaway from the City The property is nestled against Joshua Tree National Park. It feels secluded but it is only a 10-minute drive to civilization. There are plenty of grocery stores, dining options and shops nearby. That said, you are far enough from the main highway to hear silence and enjoy the serenity of the night sky. The property is well kept, and the owner is very hospitable. He met us at the property and gave us a tour highlighting all the available amenities including showing us nearby hiking trails and how to access the on-property cave. He is available for questions and easy to get along with. I would definitely stay there again. ##### Christopher C.
