Great Guest House

This place is a great stay and exactly as the pictures show. Its a studio but the space is larger than I expected. It has a great view of the landscape, especially at night of the city lights down the hill.We found ourselves enjoying the large and very eclectic collection of vinyl and record player. And also relaxed in the hammocks which are shaded buy a large tree.We're looking forward to future return visits.

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.

Perfect space!

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!

Amazing Desert Cottage

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!

Great Retro Stay Near Joshua Tree NP

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.

Rockin' Retreat

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

Amazing relaxation (and retro vibe) stay!!

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!
