Amazing Retreat
J&B was an amazing stay. We had be roadtripping for o we 5 days with hit and miss hotel/rental property stays and arriving here was a total haven! The road getting there is a bit rocky but we expected that, no surprise. Their home is hidden and tucked away in a private location. Their home is impeccable and so welcoming which they’ve made sure it is. Starting with great communication and responses so quickly to every last detail in the house from kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms! Let me tell hi the bedding in our bedroom was totally over the top. Mattress was comfortable, pillows, sheets and comforter top of the line. Literally didn’t want to get out of bed after the first night which in all honesty didn’t till late morning which is very not like me. Anyway, don’t hesitate, just book it, you won’t regret it. The hot tub was a huge hit, stargazing at night was the best! We cooked both nights and they had everything you would need. Thanks John and Bob for a great stay and sharing your amazing home with us!

A Perfect Blend of Nature, Comfort, and Whimsy
Stayed at this house near Joshua Tree, which was perfect for exploring the park and local desert hikes. The property offers a stunning mountain view from the front porch, a hot tub, and a fire pit, enhancing our relaxation. The interior's thoughtful decor, including vintage toys and art, kept both adults and our 4-year-old engaged. The yard's detailed decorations added to the charm. The owners were welcoming yet gave us our space. The place combines practicality with comfort, significantly enhancing our trip. Highly recommended for visitors to the area.

Beautifully maintained and excellent communication
I can't even begin to describe how wonderful our stay was. Not only is the place absolutely beautiful and easily accessible but it is perfectly maintained. Anything that you can think of is at the house. You can tell that the owners put a ton of time and thought into preparing it. I was also extremely pleased with the communication from the owners. Any questions I had I would text and hear back shortly. There are QR codes on most apparatuses so that you can scan and see a video of how to work it. It is very clean and cozy. There are also booklets that explain different things around the house and places to go visit or eat. I would definitely 100% stay at this place again. It's absolutely beautiful inside and out. Highly recommend!

Return trip!
This was our second trip to the property. Just as magical the second time around, especially since it was so cool out at night. Just a lovely trip. We came home very relaxed. As always, very well appointed and has everything you ever need, literally.

Just What We Needed
The place was just as advertised, and fit our needs perfectly. We wanted to get away from it all, but still have the amenities of home--and it fit the bill. The place has real charm, too (check out the Saguaro cactus towel design). Also, our breakfast outside was a real treat: the sun out and the morning light just perfect. Thanks, guys.

Our first time using a service like this
And I can say that we are so spoiled. Literally ANYTHING you can think of that you may need, they have. Fan, check. Citrus juicer, check. Walking sticks, check. Flashlights, check. Blankets for outside under the stars, check. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of how neat this place really is. Something new to find around every corner inside and out. So cozy. The lights around the fireplace are so perfect. The record player, games, SMART tvs! Robes, towels, Costco tp and paper towels, iykyk. We will definitely be back (during the cooler season). The pathways lined with lights made everything so magical. Well-appointed kitchen and even food and beer in the fridge! The welcome basket was the sweetest thing and had my favorite snacks (HOW DID YOU KNOW!!) I love the size of the property to explore. Saw bunnies and hummingbirds, California quail, and roadrunners! The property is really special. This will be our home away from home in the future.

Great stay close to Joshua Tree National Park
We had a great time here! The property was just lovely - very cozy, mid-century vibes. We loved listening to all the birdsong in the morning and enjoyed the hot tub. This property has so many nice touches by the owners. Beds were comfortable, Wifi was strong, the kitchen was excellent, and though we didn't use it, the office space was a very unique plus! We were in the area to visit Joshua Tree National Park and this was a great spot that was close enough to the park while also feeling a little "out of the way." I wouldn't recommend this property for especially timid drivers - getting to the house requires driving on a dirt road and getting to Joshua Tree/heading east requires turning onto a busy road. It wasn't a concern of ours and we had no problems, but a good thing to know and anticipate, especially if you aren't used to driving in California! Overall, a great pick for a trip to Joshua Tree NP! Thanks for hosting us!!

Rest and Relaxation
Wonderful stay for mom, 16 year old son and 12 year old yorkiepoo! We all needed a getaway, a restful time, taking it easy. We walked in and there was a gift basket for us as well as our dog, including a toy for him! The house is very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Our stay was short and so we didn't get to enjoy the home as much as we wanted. Next time we will stay longer and just enjoy the home. John and Bob have thought of everything! The house has everything that you need and even if you forget something, e.g., sunscreen, it will be there! Thank you, and we look forward to our next trip there!
