The home was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. The retro feel was exceptional. Cool furnishings and well appointed. The record player and sound system was great. We played a ton of the vinyl albums all night. Thank you Mark

I booked with Mark to get some fresh air & re-focus from the fires in LA. His guest house was just what I needed. His vinyl collection and stereo was a major highlight. I didn't stream anything all week! I heard some old favorites and also found some new ones.The kitchen was very well stocked with appliances, as well. Food processor, popcorn maker... If you need it, he's probably got it!Would visit again, for sure.- Samuel

The guest house was nice and spacious. It had a lovely sound system, variety of exercise equipment, and plenty of seating. We definitely enjoyed stargazing in the hottub at the end of the day.

First, the communication, information, and directions were superb! Thanks Mark! Yes, it is down a dirt road but loved the location - away from the main road and a spacious yard/area but literally just minutes from everything you need. The retro vibe was refreshingly cool! If you want comforting, nostalgic, and retro - this is for you! The furnishings are funky yet comfortable. Kitchen is small but had everything we needed (cooked several meals). Layout is like a studio with the bed being in the same room as the living area (but set off a bit). Bed was super comfortable! Being able to listen to records was great. Used the hot tub twice a day during our stay - was perfect for getting set for a hike and then to relax after the hike. Location is convenient to the west entrance to JTNP. Overall, it was just an amazing stay!

Joshua Tree Hideaway is conveniently located near the national park’s west entrance. The guesthouse is set next to the main house with a view across the desert to the mountains. Comfortable, clean, and pet friendly.

Beautiful views with lots of outdoor space. Quiet, comfortable, and clean. Very close to everything with quick access to Joshua Tree national park. Loved the bbq and sitting out on the patio at night. The hosts are great! Highly recommend a stay here.

We loved our time here. Communication with the host, privacy, the view (lots of windows), proximity to town and National Park were all perfect. We loved the guest house style, the bed and seating were super comfortable, and everything was extremely clean. It had all we needed and more. We appreciated the games, books, host recommendations and hot tub!

Perfect location with great amenities. We enjoyed the record collection, sitting in the hot tub under the stars, and by the warm fireplace at the end of the evening. A short drive to the Joshua tree national park visitor center and the Joshua tree saloon for a drink and some food after hiking in the park.

My daughter and I stayed her as a base for a week of hiking at Joshua Tree National Park. The place had everything we needed, and comfy beds to rest and recover every night. We loved the hot tub under the stars. Mark was easy to communicate with and even though the place is close to the main house, there is plenty of privacy. Would definitely return!

A very interesting space - could easily sleep 6. The welcoming notebook has lots of useful information. Well stocked kitchen. Weights, electric piano, fireplace, patio, hot tub, record player…

This place is cute, comfortable and well located. You can easily jog over to the Joshua Tree Northern entrance, and you're only a few minutes from the Western entrance- essential if you want to be in the park early to avoid the crowds. The guesthouse is comfortable with a good bed and a sofa right in front of the wood-burning fireplace. The hot tub at night under the stars is divine. Mark is ready to help with questions and needs, and the house is filled with games, entertainment and beautiful decor. If you want a nice place that is near everything, but not in the middle of everything, this is it.
