The decor and atmosphere was really cool - vintage without feeling out-of-date. The record collection was excellent, we were constantly playing some great disco, soul, 70s rock, it was great. It was a great home base to go out into the town and also a delight to just relax and read, cook, eat, and sleep on the lazier afternoons. We'll definitely be back.
This place was great as our home base for the week while we explored the area! It was spacious and had a lot of games/activities if you wanted a night in. I would recommend staying here and hope we get the chance to again!
We loved the location, vintage decor, record collection and player, hot tub under the stars, towels for hot tub, and generally cozy, comfortable feel.

Everything was top notch. We thoroughly enjoyed our week at your holiday house. Very relaxing and very retro! We hope to come again if we decide to travel to Palm Springs.
Really great place - we liked the slightly funky concrete floors, 70s retro air. The location is fantastic- so close to the Joshua Tree NP entrance and town of Joshua Tree. We stayed almost 2 weeks, so had to wash clothes- good /clean laundromat in town but not at VRBO. But the host was GREAT, and the place was fun and easy and perfect for us. Thx for a great stay.
The place so cutely decorated and had everything we needed. I loved the views and the neighborhood. I did not wanna leave. Marc was very communicative.
The host was super communicative and the guest house was incredibly well stocked -- it had everything we needed. Despite the rainy weather, we were very comfortable and cozy and our car was protected from the rain! Note, there is some construction happening next to the property, but it really didn't bother us too much. Great location right near some good spots to eat and the national park!
Very clean as always. We will be back. This is a great spot to enjoy all J Tree and the park has to offer. The host is incredible and always accommodating. We were very happy with our stay.
My wife and I used this vrbo as home base while hiking in JT NP for a few days. Location was great and the house had everything we needed for our four day vacation.
This place was an amazing home away from home it has everything you need and perfect for getting cozy, listening to some tunes, and playing the many games they provide in their stay. I hope to come back again waking up to silence and drinking coffee on the porch is unmatched!
Lots of privacy and great location near Joshua Tree National Park. Very comfortable for two adults and everything was clean. Communication with owner was good and I would recommend this place.
I had an amazing time host responds fast to questions or concerns. The place was relaxing and very well clean put together. I definitely was really impressed and will definitely considering coming back.
Lovely views of the desert and mountains, perfect location to explore Joshua Tree. Hosts were super helpful and easy to reach, loved listening to the record collection and mornings in the hot tub. We would happily return.
We rented this on a whim to make a weekend after business in Phoenix. The property is a little has a nostalgic vibe ( to us who were in college in the 70s) but has every convenience to assure a relaxing weekend, close to Joshua Tree gates, hot tub under phenomenal stars, close saloon!
Had everything we needed and more! Loved the aesthetic and all the fun extras they had to use. Got to see stars from the hot tub, would definitely book again
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.
We only stayed 2 nights so we were unable to take advantage of all the amenities this property offered: hot tub, hammocks, fire pit, records, and view. It is adorably decorated and spacious for a couple.
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
This was such a great place to stay!! Without a doubt one of the top 5 most relaxing and peaceful places I have ever stayed, and the price is a bargain for all that you get. The 70’s theme is done so well with top quality furnishings and artwork. The stairmaster, free weights, and other fitness equipment is such a bonus to have on site. The 2 hammocks outside are so comfortable and great for stargazing. The bed is very comfortable and the bedding is also top quality! There is a wide selection of music as well as DVD’s and a Roku. We did not use it but it has a working fireplace. The air conditioning cools quickly and holds a steady temp. But the absolute best feature is the jacuzzi. The powerful jets feel great but we enjoyed just sitting in the water looking at the stars with just the sound of the desert wind surrounding us. I’ve stayed other places in Joshua Tree but this one is by far the best and I hope it’s available on my next stay.
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.
I was so pleased with my visit. Mark, our host, was so accommodating. He was quick to answer questions, and very flexible when I needed to make last minute additions -- and then subtractions -- to my guest count. I felt like I was in good hands with him as the contact/host. I loved the cozy guest house. It was a kitschy, well appointed cabin under the stars! It was a quick drive to the main road that goes through town and hits all the fun shops restaurants, but isolated enough from the main drag that we felt like we had great privacy. A highlight was taking advantage of the hot tub in the cool December evening weather, with a fantastic view of the brush around us.I was such a fan of all the Pendleton blankets that were on offer to curl up with. A surprise desert rain storm fog were no issue at all because the thermostat was in great working order so we were very warm. The aesthetic of the guest house is just very charming. It was a lovely getaway, and I will definitely return. Thank you, Mark.
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!
