Dec 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Welcoming home away from home. The location was perfect for Joshua Tree. You could tell that the owners have put a lot of thought into the property. The water pressure was great making the rain fall shower extra nice. If you want to see the stars at night this is the place to be. ##### Danielle G.
