EXCELLENT Based on 35 reviews Posted on YasmineVerified Great location, super close to local shops. The decor was cute, and the pillows were really comfy. I loved that there was no TV, it made it easy to disconnect and relax. I recommend bringing your own towel since there weren’t any extras in the room. The water temperature was perfect.Posted on MariselaVerified Pet friendly and walkable location. Loved our stay. The room was cozy and vintage and it had all the amenities needed. They also provided our puppy with a toy and a bed. I would definitely stay here again !Posted on MelanieVerified The place was great! Very walkable which came in handy as we had car problems and needed a place right by the main road. Courtney was extremely helpful and flexible with our check in and out as we waited for information on our car repairs. She and her staff really made the stressful stay a little better with their hospitality.Posted on EmmanuelleVerified Thank you for a beautiful stay! The communication with Courtney was great. I highly recommend.Posted on JacquelineVerified Die Unterkunft war sehr einfach zu finden und die Lage war fernab der Straße, also schön ruhig gelegen. Alles sah genauso aus wie auf den Fotos. Es gab einen großen Kühlschrank, in der Küche alles was man braucht, genügend Handtücher und generell war alles sehr ordentlich. Wir haben uns hier sehr wohlgefühlt und können die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen ☺️🫶🏻Posted on SadieVerified Loved my stay at the ranch house! Obsessed with the desert cowboy vibe of the room, super easy to access, walking distance to downtown Joshua tree and just a short drive to the park entrance! AC worked really well. Will be back!!!Posted on ArihanVerified Nice placePosted on HeidiVerified Great value for the price! Had everything I needed for my short stay in Joshua Tree. Alyssa is a great host - very responsive and helpful. The thin walls were an issue for me (as other reviews have mentioned), but that’s a gamble based on who happens to be next to you. Regardless, I still had a great time! Close to the shops and restaurants, as well as Hwy 62.Posted on DennisVerified Perfect spotPosted on AshleyVerified Alyssa was great, it was my partner and I's anniversary but my partner ended up having to go to the emergency room immediately before our trip. Alyssa was understanding. Though walls are incredibly thin. It especially doesn't help that some of the rooms are conjoined (conjoined doors are bolted, so no worry there). Unfortunately, despite the posted quiet hours, our neighbors were incredibly loud and playing music all night. While this was not something that can be helped by the owners, if you're a light sleeper keep this in mind. Even talking at normal volume can be heard very clearly through the other rooms. Alyssa ended up giving me a small partial refund for my troubles.
