Review on Airbnb:
A phenomenal place to stay - the amenities here are top notch and are all in perfect working order. The space is very quiet and spacious - the backyard is significantly bigger than it looks in pictures and it's fully fenced.
The inside of the house is wonderful - plenty of space, and the kitchen has everything you need and more. Bedrooms have super comfy beds and pillows as well.
Definitely looking to come back! -
Review on Airbnb:
The home is beautiful and well equipped. The location is remote (which we liked) and has so many fun amenities - you can have a great weekend without even leaving the home. The location is a short drive to the local town and Joshua Tree National Park. The hosts provided very detailed instructions on how to drink the home and how to work all of the amenities, they even provided a list of all the local activities happening during our stay!

Review on Airbnb:
Amazing place to stay for our family. The kids loved the huge outdoor space to play, and they had some board games for indoors too. Peaceful and private location. It was luxurious, clean and looked just like the pictures. Rainfall shower head hit the spot after a long day of hiking. Espresso machine was a nice unique touch.

Review on Airbnb:
We had a great time at the Desert Willow house. The house was a great place to relax and had everything we needed. We loved the backyard - the pickleball court and hot tub were amazing. We wish we had more time to fully use all the amenities. It was super easy to get to visit Joshua Tree from the house too. Thanks for having us!

Review on Airbnb:
We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The backyard was a dream come true for our kids, with so much space and fun activities. Three nights flew by far too quickly, and they were so sad to leave. If we ever return to Joshua Tree, we wouldn't hesitate to book this place again!
