"Was nice & beautiful property - very peaceful, especially at night time with the fire pit! The food was okay but there are options 5 mins down the road along with a big Walmart/steak & shake 10 mins down the road. If you want other food maybe stop in Palm Springs before heading out towards Joshua tree! Allowed for easy access to the national park (20 minute drive)"
