"Overall a good experience here. The house is lovely and everything worked and was clean inside the house. The pantries and fridge are the best stocked I've seen in a vacation rental.Outside the house a lot of things are worn down from being in the desert and could probably use some updating. There is a ragged but functional hammock, and yet there was what looked like a brand new hammock sitting inside the house that hadn't been put up. The hot tub works great. I did have some communications challenges with the property manager (not the owner themselves) who said they would send the check in details two days before check in, but I had to reach out to get those details the day before my trip (I was driving 600 miles, so I wanted to make sure there wasn't an issue before I got on the road). I was able to get that info, but it would be good if the property manager followed through with what they commit to in their messages. The next part is for the astronomers and astrophotographers. This location is Bortle 2-ish, which is one of the main reasons I chose it. There challenges you'll encounter, especially if you're an astrophotographer:1) The neighbor across the street has possibly the brightest porch light I have ever seen, and it never turns off. Outside the host's control, but it will impact your night vision. 2) This part of the desert is pretty windy. You'll have to strategically choose your setup location to avoid the wind. Overall, would rent again. "

"We had to extend another night for our stay because we felt so comfortable and safe in the property. It felt like a home away from home. And the host was very accommodating when I had questions. Just double check all the food items for their expiry dates. There were a few items that I saw were expired, including the chocolate for the s’mores 😭 it’s all good though we had Nutella with us to substitute for the chocolate. Highly likely will book again in the future."

"We had a great trip visiting JTNP and staying at the Desert Casita! We loved the accommodations and all the amenities. The house was clean and we so quiet and peaceful. It is quite a ways out from all the stores and restaurants but we did not mind! Owners are very responsive to messages!"

"My family of four had a wonderful stay at Victoria's home. It's well furnished with a range of amenities - comfortable queen beds, stocked kitchen, board games, smart TV, outdoor seating areas, fire ring, hot tub, and more. The house is situated in a quiet area with a short hike to mountains in back. Joshua Tree is close by and Mojave National Preserve is a reasonable drive. Victoria promptly answers questions and ensures her guests have an enjoyable stay."

"The stay itself was wonderful. The house is adorable and I wish I could have stayed forever. All of the little details from the decor to the dishes were perfect. The hostess was so kind and helpful too, she really made the stay worthwhile. Every issue I ran into she was just a text away. It was amazing having her there to help, and she made the whole thing very stress-free. All around 10/10 would stay again."

"This was a lovely comfy desert house. Really enjoyed the vibe of the decorations, stargazing at night, and watching sunrises and sunsets over the wide open desert."

"Backyard is miles and miles of open desert"

"My goal was quiet time with the wife and, as little light pollution as possible for some milky way astro photography. Success on all fronts, we had a wonderful time, thank you for sharing your beautiful home."
