It’s our second time staying and there have been many improvements since we last stayed, including a full kitchen renovation and all bathrooms have also been remodeled. The Highlands neighborhood is close to the national park and wildlife walk through the property throughout the day. Views are fantastic. A very well-stocked, comfortable home. We will definitely be back. ##### Betha M. Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Siobhan M.

Lovely property, mid century but new kitchen with everything we needed and new bathrooms, hot tub was perfect with the outdoor shower! Binders and small notes made everything easy. Very comfy beds! And plenty of room for 5 adults and our dog. It’s desert but very few chollas on the property to worry about with our dog. Night sky was awesome! 2 miles from the JTP entrance so that was great! Property manager wanted to know when we arrived and left- unnecessary, since we had her number if we needed anything. Would highly recommend as one of the best houses we have stayed at!!! ##### Siobhan M. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leslie B.

Our second visit to this beautiful home which is just perfect for a quiet retreat, exploration of Joshua area quirkiness and natural wonder's in the Park itself. The house is perfect for 2 couples in our opinion. For larger groups, best to have family or very close friends. Vera is wonderful and communicative enough but not too much. The house is spotless and the surroundings cannot be beat. 9 minutes to park entrance, 9 minutes to pizza take out in town or a drink at the local saloon. Thank you Vera!

Mar 27, 2015 #### The Zen House was perfect for our needs We spent a month in the Zen House in Joshua Tree. We had an incredible view and spent most mornings sipping tea and/or coffee looking out at the horizon. Sitting in the hot tub at night gazing at the unbelievable sky filled with millions of stars, was spectacular. The house was very comfortable and provided a very "cozy" and warm feeling. Vera was a wealth of information about hikes in the area, and we did almost everything she recommended. If we needed anything, she was quick to respond. The only drawback was the dirt road getting up to the property. We found by the time we left, the ruts and bumps to avoid -- even with non 4-wheel drive vehicles. ##### Diane B.
