Feb 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Hot tub for the Win. Stayed at this location off a dirt path road but was amazing overall. Arrived shortly at 9pm and just right into the hot tub. Spent our time in Joshua tree, 29 palms and yucca valley all which have many things to offer. Streets are very dark at night so beware of that when driving but location was amazing. Loved the decor and would recommend to everyone to stay there. ##### Alex R. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kara W. Feb 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Desert oasis Such a beautifully decorated and well thought out home. Jannis, please design my home!! The theme is well thought out all the way down to the matching on theme water purifier and the cosmic colored utensils. The hot tub was a nice end to our day and loved laying in the hammocks. Communication with Jannis was 5 star, the most helpful and welcoming host I’ve come across on this site. A few reviews mentioned the neighbors so I wasn’t sure what we were getting ourselves into but truly, the neighbors are benign and keep to themselves. We would rent this home again in a heartbeat. Check out process was easy, running the dishwasher and taking the trash out is the least we can do after a beautiful stay in a beautiful home ##### Kara W.
