Great stay

We loved the location - quiet but easy access to town and the park, great view, comfortable bed and indoor and outdoor spaces. Hosts were very responsive and we had everything we needed for a week of days spent hiking and mostly eating in. A few things could use some maintenance, but nothing that detracted from our stay.

Can’t beat the location

This was such a lovely home! The host went above and beyond with all of the extra amenities. This home worked really well for our family traveling with a 2-year-old and 10-month-old. You also can’t beat the location-only 3 minutes from the NP visitor center.

Amazing location and home

Perfect home for a Joshua Tree getaway. I stayed with a friend to go hiking for a few days. The home was an oasis to relax and clean up after a long day on trail. It is perfectly located close to town (a few minutes driving) where you go for restaurants and shops.

Perfect Spot in Joshua Tree

Casa Tomas is a wonderful place to stay during a visit to Joshua Tree National Park. The property is very clean and comfortable. It provides a home-like and relaxing atmosphere to enjoy after a day of hiking and rock-climbing. The grill, the fire pit, and the backyard provide a delightful area to unwind. We hope to return.
