Great place to be

Nice and cozy, close to Joshua Tree National Park. Hosts are easy to communicate with. Very relaxing place to be after hicking or just visiting around.

Desert Dreams

We loved getting a taste of desert living! The home was beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed to relax and escape our daily lives. We played records, relaxed in the hammock while the coyotes howled, and did some stargazing. We really felt away from it all, but it was only 15 minutes or so to shops, restaurants, and the National Park. Check in/out could not have been simpler. Highly recommend!

Second time staying here -- a desert dream

I love Scott and Vanessa's place! It's perfect if you're looking for a house for a small group that's off the beaten path. The house is thoughtfully curated with unique art and decor, and you can tell a lot of time was spent styling the home. The backyard patio is perfect for stargazing by the fire, and the home is stocked with everything you could need! I can't wait to come back soon!

A Classic Experience

Our third or fourth stay, as great as the rest. You can't argue with the price and the property is just right for a small family. Always very clean and modestly provisioned, with almost everything you need to have a nice little getaway. The appliances all work well and many are new. Heating/cooling is excellent! The respectful owners do not abuse their guests with overbearing rules and the check-in experience is fully automatic.Only a couple of minor complaints: the finicky Wi-Fi and outdated electronics, which admittedly are not an essential amenity (unless you are a teenager from the city), and some of the doors are sticky or difficult to open/close.Sadly, the neighborhood is getting busier. There was a broken-down yellow school bus parked next door during our stay, and we heard the occasional sound of construction in the distance, which has an effect on the peace and quiet of the desert. This is unfortunately common for many spots in the area and something you might encounter staying anywhere around. Most of the day, it is a peaceful place to stay and this property specifically is a very beautiful spot to sit and hang out during the hours before and after sunset.

Really nice property away from the busy city life. Far away but not too far away. Just a 15-20 min drive from the town and restaurants. Nice getaway for me and the family and our dog :)

Great experience

Probably one of our best experience with a host and stay. House was well furnished and supplied. Easy check in. Check out requirements were extremely reasonable. Area was quiet and beautiful located in the Joshua trees. Will definitely use again

Nice place. A bit out of town. Worked well for a small family. Could use a few more “pots/pans” for those that want to cook.

Such a lovely property off the beaten path

We loved this house so much! We felt such good vibes the moment we walked in (I mean c’mon, a light switch for a salt lamp? Love it!) the place is decorated with such cool prints and furniture, I assume were thrifted which also is a huge plus. The casita was a perfect extra room and we were even able to work from home without any troubles with WiFi. The roads are a little bumpy but the hosts made it clear which ways to go to avoid any trouble. If you stay here, wake up for the sunrise, you won’t regret it! And the snow covered mountains in the distance were gorgeous. Thanks so much for your hospitality and all your communication. Bookmarking this place for the future for sure!

Great weekend get away!

Loved the place. Great location. Only thing I'd do differently is drive more carefully on the dirt roads to and from the house.

Living the dream

We stayed here for four days in July and the property was absolutely perfect. Couldn’t ask for better host. The property was clean and organized and very welcoming. Has games and streaming stick ready to go also. The temperature was always comfortable the views are absolutely gorgeous. We slept 5 no problem. I visit here often and try to stay in different places every time. But this place is worth staying everytime.

Peace and quiet

Very relaxing stay at Havalina! Especially loved having a sunset cocktail at the fence bar and enjoying the fire pit at night. The separate casita with comfy couch and the back covered porch with hammock provide spaces for quiet reading time.

Relaxing Escape From The City

This place was wonderful and relaxing. Spent the mornings outside talking with family and enjoying the birds come by. The courtyard was perfect for our dogs. They loved laying out and taking in the air as did we! The set up was great! Including the beds! They were soooo comfortable!! I was able to wake up rested! At night was the best! It felt so peaceful just being outside by the fire pit, and even when didn’t have the fire going on just looking at the stars brought that kid like feeling you had when you were young, and laid on the street to look at them. I can’t wait to come back next year....FYI the AC works great! And they did a great job of communicating with us. They checked in via email a few days after to make sure everything was okay. I thought that was thoughtful...thank you for your hospitality!

Awesome Stay at Havalina House

We had a great winter getaway at Scott and Vanessa’s place! The area was a sight to be seen especially in the snow! It was clean, cute, exactly as described. Scott and Vanessa sent a very thorough welcome/check-in email along with a packet of information and recommendations. Thanks for hosting us!

Terrific property and very clean! Directions in both GPS and owner were extremely helpful. FYI, there's a dirt road to get here but it is not terrible. Part of the Joshua Tree experience! I would recommend cooking when visiting Joshua Tree, all the restaurants had 3+ hour waits and were no longer taking names. But overall, the property was beyond our expectations! The owner has cute little things, like a surplus of DVD's and DVD player available!
