My wife and I stayed over Labor Day weekend and this is hands down one of the best VRBO experiences we've had. I want to spend time talking about two things, the magic of the space and the thoughtfulness of it all. Magic: The listing is amazing and you might wonder, is this for real and the answer is yes: the actual loft pays all of that promise off. The space is a delight to be in, the vibe is creative but also relaxed. It's not one of those places where your eyeballs hurt after a while because it's "too" creative. Rather, it's all very well crafted to deliver a holistic creative energy you can soak in. The space invites you to do something with it whether it's with visual art, chilling with the vinyl or flipping through a book. We loved every minute. Thoughtfulness: This is hands down one of the best rentals we've ever stayed at in regards to thoughtfulness. Everything is labeled. Everything is where you'd want it to be. Everything was clean, easy and in perfect working condition. The AC was working hard in the hot temps but it did its job. The kitchen had everything you'd want. The bathrooms were immaculate. Seriously, you feel taken care of, even though your host is not there, they still kind of are watching out for you. I know, this doesn't sound like a real review since I'm being so over the top but this place deserves it. Thank you John for sharing this gem with everyone!

We had an incredible time! The home was very nice. Close to the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. We hiked everyday and having the jacuzzi right there when we got home was a real plus. Loved sitting out front in the morning having our coffee listening to the birds singing was a great way to start the day! Would definitely recommend this place for a nice getaway.

The art loft is BEAUTIFUL. We really enjoyed the record player, the hot tub and the fact that there were canvases and paint for guests. We also enjoyed cooking meals each night in the kitchen. Communication w the hosts was excellent and they offered great local recommendations. 10/10 recommend this place!!

Perfection. This is exactly how it’s posted in the pictures. Every single thing is labeled with custom signage or notes. Clever use of space, the artistic nature of the property is just like living in a piece of art. Will definitely come here again!

John‘s place was exactly as he explained on the app. Plenty of space to relax after experiencing Joshua tree national park. Great little touches everywhere, loved all of the art and books and puzzles and art supplies and record player. Bring your own Travel coffee mugs and pizza cutter. Beautiful property well thought out.

We couldn’t have had a better experience in Joshua Tree! The space is just as pictured and is one of the best appointed rentals we’ve stayed in. They have thought through everything you need and have incorporated fun elements into the experience (we loved the provided art supplies and games). The hosts are communicative and want to ensure your trip is a great one. Highly recommend!

Absolutely wonderful place. Creative, artsy, interesting, clean, beautifully appointed incredibly thoughtful intentional place. Everything you need to be able to cook well, sleep well, star-gaze, relax, be creative, and go to Joshua Tree every single day. John was a wonderful host, attentive, helpful, non-judgmental, always available, flexible and anticipatory. I am already trying to figure out when I can come back for a longer stay. This place is magic!

Instantly felt at home and comfortable when we walked in the door. The ArtLoft was immaculate and well-appointed…the owners thought of EVERYTHING. It was a truly unique and fun space with an air of “retro-“ in every corner. I had thought it would be more remote, but it was actually in a neighborhood. But don’t let that stop you! It has a very private feel to it and was close to all important aspects of a great stay in Joshua Tree. And a bonus…John responded tout-suite to any request or inquiry. Highly recommend the ArtLoft!

A friend and I stayed here two nights. We are both in our 60's. This was not only "a great place to stay while in Joshua Tree," it would be a fantastic place anywhere. (If only I could take it with me to stay in wherever I travelled!) Lots to enjoy just staying put, but convenient to explore highlights of Joshua Tree. Highly recommended.

We had a great stay with our family. Our kids (7 & 10) had a lot of fun at the house playing Bocce ball, grilling marshmallows on the fire pit, relaxing in the hot tub after hiking, typing on old fashion typewrite, and painting. The location is convenient, right near Joshua Tree National Park West entrance and close to grocery and restaurants. Communication with the host after booking and during our stay was excellent and easy. Highly recommend!

What a phenomenal home! The property is everything you expect, plus some. We were blown away with the attention to detail and love that went into it. If you are on the fence, don’t be, this is your spot! The host, John, was an amazing host, very informative and extremely easy to communicate with. We can not wait to come back. Hopefully sooner than later!

This is the must book spot if you are coming out to Joshua Tree for the weekend! Close to the park and downtown, but out of the way for ultimate quiet when you want its Josh and April have done a phenomenal job setting up this property. I will be back!

The place is as good as advertised, maybe better! So fun and unique, clean and comfy. It's super close to town, JTNP Visitor's Center, and a main entrance to the park. John is an incredible host. We had some unfortunate weather while in SoCal (Santa Ana winds) which forced us to alter our plans a bit. John went above and beyond to be accommodating. Also, he provides a really thorough document full of ideas to make your visit excellent, from things to see and do to all of the best places to eat. It made planning our itinerary in Joshua Tree so easy. We really felt like we maximized our short time there, thanks to this. My only complaint is that we didn't stay longer! We spent so much time exploring, we didn't spend enough time enjoying the Art Loft. Guess we'll have to go back...

This property was exactly what we wanted on our little getaway. John and April were very attentive and really set this place up with their guest in mind. The property is unique and inviting with tons of fun things to explore at the place and their resource guide for the area was a gem! Intimate enough for 2 and accommodating for more. We plan on returning with kids. Thank you both for creating and sharing this artistic jewel in the dessert for us to enjoy.

This house is just superb! John communicated quickly and thoroughly at every stage including offering great advice on the best places to eat and which hikes to do. The house itself is just sensational. Plenty of light. Great design. Honestly I wish i had stayed here longer. The facilities are top notch with everything that you could need. Great beds. Great water pressure. A properly thought out kitchen with Joshua Coffee beans and grinder to boot. I could not have asked for more.
