    It was slightly peculiar using the bathroom sink to wash up in but we got used to it. Also the paper plates were slightly strange (although I guess to help cut down on washing up required), but it would have been nice to have had proper crockery, even if it was plastic. There was no freezer either, which would have been nice to store some ice in.

    The location was amazing - right on the edge of the desert with fantastic views and sunsets! We woke up on the first morning with two coyotes trotting past which was incredible. Lots of birds too, which we are especially interested in. There was even a resident dove's nest on the air conditioning unit with two chicks! The place was very comfortable and clean.

    Bumpy dirt road was a bit of a challenge, though being off the main road made for a private relaxing stay.

    A most charming spacious apartment and desert garden. Quiet and cozy. Loved the turntable and vinyl selection and abundance of humming birds. And the moon and stars at night. Close to town and the park entrance. The host was gracious and generous with recommendations.

    The lighting was a bit dim, but it was adequate. And the dirt roads leading up to the house were pretty bumpy. Everything else was fine. There was even a good quality guitar that we played for a while.

    The property is the last house on a quiet dead end road. It backed up to open space, with desert and mountain views. The yard had lots of places to sit or lounge and admire the desert gardens and views. The studio was spacious and comfortable.

    Stayed at this a cozy room in Joshua Tree and loved it. The decor was whimsical yet comfortable, and the view of the desert was fantastic. The room was well-furnished and check-in/out was a breeze. Having a BBQ was a nice touch. Overall, a great spot for a relaxing stay.

    The unit has a memory foam mattress in the bedroom and a fold-out couch in the living room. the memory foam mattress is really firm. and that's typical. but it didn't work for me. My friend slept on the couch and it was OK, just took some getting used to. NOTE: the roads in to the neighborhood are not paved or graded. Makes for a slow trip in and out even if you have an all wheel drive vehicle. I had to take it pretty slowly driving a 2023 Crosstrek. But I'm not accustomed to roads like that. The locals were buzzing in and out, no problem.

    Location was a short drive to the National Park, about ten minutes. Beautiful, quiet location. We stayed in the 1BDR unit. Roomy. Well outfitted kitchen. Enjoyed the firepit at night when stargazing.

    Traffic on the way. But of course that's not the properties fault.

    Pam was an absolutely wonderful host. We had snacks, coffee, and all the little things that make for a great stay. She gave us great suggestions on what to see as well. I was extremely impressed.

    The beautiful hideaway was like a dream come true for me, with its unique musical theme. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by the soothing sounds of my favorite CDs playing in the background. The location was serene and peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The space was immaculately clean and welcoming, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The views from the hideaway were breathtaking, adding to the already magical ambiance. As night fell, the stars above twinkled in perfect harmony with the music, creating a truly unforgettable experience.
