This rental was above and beyond! Perfect location!! Pictures don't do it justice - the layout is perfect, and the furniture and decor is so stylish and fun! The house is immaculate and extremely comfortable. Plenty of lounging space and the beds were incredibly comfortable with plenty of linens! Lots of towels for outside (hot tub) as well. The pictures show neighbors; however, the house is at the end of the street and very quiet and private. The game room is air conditioned which was amazing and made our family so comfortable while playing! Hot tub was perfect for soaking each night (especially after a full day at JTNP) and was the cleanest hot tub we've had at a rental. We ate dinners around the fire pit and enjoyed the peaceful backyard and scenery. Bena has thought of everything to ensure guests have the most comfortable and FUN stay!

WOW! WOW! WOW! are the words that kept popping into our heads and out of our mouths as we explored more & more of this property. From the initial quick replies to our questions, to the easy check-in process to the beautiful home with all the extra touches, we were blown away with this Airbnb. We have travelled the world, but this has to be one of the best Airbnb's we have ever stayed in. Jerry has thought of everything from a beautiful rooftop deck where you can see the whole city of Joshua Tree to the private hot tub to the walking paths and views that go on for days from every room. The house is located on 5 acres, so it feels very private, especially for sunrise and in the evening. House is located an easy 3-minute drive from the center of Joshua Tree and the park visitors center so you can pop in for dinner or order in for delivery. The interior looks like it was designed by a professional interior designer & has all the amenities of home. Can't wait to come back for our next trip!
