Great spot close to the park and town if you want to get something out to eat (Sky High Pizza is great!). The pool, hot tub, dome lounge and game room garage make for fun entertaining. My kids loved that the house was stocked with lots of games. Beds were super comfortable and kitchen was well stocked for cooking at the house. The owners are super responsive and helped me trouble shoot our hot tub difficulties right away. And the firepit makes for a perfect s’more spot. Overall great place for a family to stay
My girls loved the dome for chilling

The home was just as described. And it was so well stocked! The layout of this home is really nice, easy for us to all be together. My Grandson had fun with the pool table. We enjoyed the hot tub and made smores on the outside fireplace. Centrally located to everything in Joshua Tree. Many good restaurants there. We also enjoyed hiking the park. Owners were very helpful and responsive.
