This is such a unique property and it was a privilege to stay there. They have a horse on the property steps away from the front door of the ranch house. This was the nicest horse I have ever met. The surrounding area is beautiful and Joshua Tree NP is a 20 min drive away. Awesome experience. Private location and cool items throughout the house.
The location was perfect for our trip to Joshua Tree National Park. It’s close to the park and other sites but not too close, so you get a quiet place to relax after a day of hiking. The house has everything you need and want!
Wonderful stay surrounded by Joshua trees, stars by the millions. Immaculate house, easy no contact entry. Perfect getaway, responsive host. This would be my first choice for a desert stay. Absolutely perfect!
We had a great stay here and thoroughly enjoyed being on a ranch surrounded by open land covered with Joshua Trees. The house was very clean and comfortable, my daughter declared that she really liked it because it felt very homely. We would definitely recommend.
We were actually upgraded to the larger house next door. It was beautifully furnished with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The kitchen had all the tools we needed to make complete meals. The house was close (15 minutes) to the park entrance yet was very quiet. We enjoyed seeing the horses and goats next door. Great front porch for enjoying the night sky and a glass of wine!
The house had all the amenities you could want - very nice that way. But one bedroom had a double-single bunk bed, which we thought would be fine for one adult. But the double bed was just a thin foam over metal bars, not even a mattress and not something most adults could sleep on. We were able to move the small mattress onto the large one and that worked OK. But the listing should be more specific about that - or get a real mattress. Also the hot water was scalding hot and should be turned down. Otherwise it was pretty clean and very comfortable.
Everything about our stay at the Red House was top-notch. Shawn has all the small amenities that make a big difference covered. The house was extremely clean, bed was very comfortable and the views breathtaking. Thanks for a great stay Shawn!
Location is convenient to the West gate of Joshua Tree National Park, a Dollar General Store that is open till 10pm should you forget anything, as well as Pappy and Harriet's Restaurant in Pioneertown. Owner was responsive to phone call. Property interior matches the photos.
Lovely one night in the Yucca Valley. The ranch style house was full of character, well stocked with basic provisions, board games etc. Extremely comfortable Master King Bed and sumptuous linens. The outside hammocks were nice to relax in.
Thank you for a memorable stay.
Very well appointed and convenient. For your attention:
The lever on the small bathroom needs attention, the bbq propane was empty when we arrived. Other than that all is good. Thank you.
A pretty, cozy getaway in an awesome yard..
Close to Joshua Tree, Pioneer town, giant rock. Comfortable, clean home with tons of special features. Loved the coffee!
