I recently celebrated my 40th birthday at this house. We had an amazing time, wish we could have stayed longer. This place may not be for everyone, but those who are up for something a little different this place will not disappoint. I would definitely rent this place again.

a group of friends of mine stayed at this location over the labor day weekend last year. had such an great time then, i've decided to return later this month. from the location to the house to the decor to the atmosphere, this encapsulated a true joshua tree desert experience. there are a lot of nooks and crannies to relax inside and out on a personal level. in addition, many communal spots in and around the property to soak in the desert life on a collective level with your group. if you need to get out and about the park is a short drive away as is pappy & harriets in pioneer town. i've also had the opportunity to stay at the owner's other property, the joshua tree park house, which was equally an amazing experience. i only look forward to this next visit.

My Mother, Sister, daughter and friend had the best time in this wildly inventive, one of a kind fun house. From the vaulted ceilings, the Flintstonian boulder walls, fireplaces, wood stoves, stain glass effects from bottle walls, car tail light windows, amunition box bathroom ceilings, sinks made of antique gold pans, steel catwalks, panaramic views from plate glass windows in the loft lounge, to the art collections everywhere in the house. The mixture of provocative art, traditional art, sculpture, paintings, cartoons, junk, antiques, steel, glass, humor, 60's textiles, 70's furniture, 40's oven, 50's frig, gave us a heady joyful feeling of fun and freedom. Jerni, this great character whom we met through the owner's friend, rode his horse over to the house, my daughter was thrilled, and took us on a pre-arranged private hike through this area where the mountain lions are know to hunt. It was fascinating, and we had such great outdoor adventure. Back at the house, after the hike, I was so pleased to dip into the hot cowboy tub on the hill, relax, and take in a glorious sunset. My mother preferred to take a bath in the sunken rock-tub in the master bath. She loved the old towels with Elvis and the Wicked Witch of the West sewn into them. Later we had vegi burgers off the grill on the BBQ patio, and then sat around the fire pit out back and told all our old family stories. Thanks for this great, grand time.We will be back.
