Desert Noir is a dream! The house itself is cute and clean and very comfortable. Everything listed in the description was accurate. We truly felt like we were at home here and enjoyed our stay. The best part of our experience was the view! No words or pictures could ever describe the beauty of the area surrounding the house. Sunsets were magical! The house is far enough off the beaten path to enjoy the solitude of nature, yet close enough that getting to town and Joshua Tree National Park were easy. The check in / check out processes were simple and straight forward. I’d highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a cozy desert retreat!

The views are amazing as the house is at the end of a trail perched on a hill surrounded by Joshua trees. It is remote enough to feel like you are alone, yet close to everything. The house is very cute, welcoming with many places to hang out. We will definitely come back!

We had a great time in this place. Incredible views, everything you need can be found in the house, beautiful property to stay in. Very close to the village and national park. Wildlife is visible from the bedroom window. The dirt road to the house is pretty long, so make sure you have an appropriate car.

The location is the best- it’s surrounded by Joshua Trees, even more than you’d see in the park. The rental itself is very cute and comfortable. We enjoyed star gazing from the hot tub every night.

Booked this house for my wife’s birthday weekend and what a great experience! We brought our dog with us who enjoyed the outdoor environment. It was such a great home to stay at and had all the amenities we needed.

The location is nice and remote (make sure to pay attention to the driving directions). The property itself is very nice and self contained. Everything you need is on location. Will visit again.

We loved staying at Desert Noir - very secluded with very comfy bed. Enjoyed the firepit, kitchen, hottub, and the lanscaping overall. Highly recommend staying here!

The views are spectacular and location private. The house was clean and had quality clean linens. Having an outdoor fire pit was perfect for star gazing. We enjoyed walking the road every morning with our dog and our Tesla Model Y made it easily uo the 1+ mile sandy road.

Perfect place for a couple, fantastic location, great place to sit back and relax and do nothing but hang out and enjoy

This was the perfect house for me and my fiancé during our 3 day vacation to Yucca Valley. Close to Joshua Tree NP ad well as Palm Springs, and was exactly as described.

The property is absolutely amazing. I don't think the pics do it justice on just how beautiful the views are!I was a bit hesitant to book this property because of the pull-out bed but so happy that I did - no lack in comfort.

Initially I thought I was going to knock off a star for my dealings with Turn Key (below) but the property more than made up for it. The view is outstanding; we thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward to our coffee and breakfast on the porch in the morning and then drinks watching the sun set from the hot tub in the evening. The landscaping and decorating are very well done and provide something interesting everywhere you look. The drive up from the highway is bumpy and rutted in places (I wouldn't want to take a sedan on those roads), making for slow going; due to this we really didn't want to make more than one trip in each direction every day so we made dinner at home instead of going out, but the remoteness and privacy and quiet was worth the trip. What I did not enjoy was being required to upload my driver's license to Turn Key via some random website with no privacy policy, description of how they'd use it, protect it, or how long they'd retain it. I understand wanting to verify the identity of the person renting your house but feel there must be some better way, like through VRBO who I would trust. I blacked out most information, including barcodes and such, and they accepted that. My other gripe is they could not verify if the property had a coffee machine (it does; a small Mr. Coffee and a knockoff Chemex with an electric kettle), a pretty basic amenity, and suggested that at least the property did have pots, like I'd boil water and steep my coffee like tea? But everything else with them was helpful, including the ability to text and ask questions (even if they don't know the answer). And again, in the end the property more than made up for my initial frustrations.

My husband and I and our two small dogs stayed at Desert Noir for five nights in January. It was wonderfully remote, exactly as described, and very well managed. We couldn’t open the patio sliders initially, but it was extremely easy to get the issue resolved by texting with the property management company. (They sent a handy person over the same day while we were out, and when we got back the door had been fixed and no mess was left behind.) A word of warning: the dirt road that leads from Route 62 to Wo Wanka Trail is not graded very well, so be prepared! And one suggestion for the homeowners: please add some hooks and towel bars. Neither of these issues detracted from our stay enough to deduct a star, and we would happily stay here again.

Views from the property made the trip.

Everything was great. I did have to leave early, unfortunately, due to ceiling leaking in a terrible storm. Wanted the owners to be able to address asap before more damage could occur. Besides that, will definitely return.

The serenity at the end of the road is worth it though! Hope to stay here again!

My husband and I were in town for a wedding, and this was the perfect little home base for us. The location is very secluded and private, with beautiful views of the mountains, but still just a short drive to town. The house is very well styled with a perfect balance of desert chic meets comfort. The hot tub was warm and ready to go upon our arrival. The only note for other guests is that it is a bumpy dirt road getting from the highway to the house, so I would recommend having a vehicle that can handle rugged terrain. Can’t wait to come back and watch for shooting stars again!

This house was clean with beautiful interior which made for the perfect Joshua Tree stay. The house is private with a long dirt road to the entrance of the home and felt like a an escape from reality. Highly recommend!

The home had great design features and was well appointed with beautiful furniture and appliances. We enjoyed the outdoor living as well with the hot tub and fire pit overlooking amazing evening sunsets. Highly recommend this secluded home for rest and relaxation.

The location of the property was tucked into the mountains with majestic views. The house was modern, clean and comfortable. The hot tub at sunset was such a treat. It was a wonderful retreat in the desert for the week!

This property is right out of a movie set. It's in a beautiful and remote location in Yucca Valley. The house and setting are lovely, tucked away in the desert. It was somewhat difficult to access and our GPS and directions didn't match so we were lost on back roads in the desert but eventually found our way with the help of Turnkey Properties customer service. It was definitely worth finding though! A beautiful home with many places to enjoy the views on the patio and deck. The property has a cowboy pool, a hot tub and a gas fire table, all of which we enjoyed. More explicit directions are needed on the property listing however on how to drain the cowboy pool and turn off the hot tub motor when finished. I tried to do both and couldn't and customer service was unable to help when I contacted them. We left before dawn the next morning, so I hope Turnkey Properties was able to handle the check out instructions.
