We had such a wonderful stay at Cheryl's beautiful home that is situated right on the edge of a nature preserve. The home is so charming with lots of lovely touches and Cheryl was such a brilliant, communicative host. Everything went seamlessly. We would definitely stay again!

We’ve stayed here a couple of times, greatly enjoyed it, very homey feel to it, home away from home! You have your own Joshua tree park right out your back door to explore, Home is up on a hill, so beautiful view of surrounding area. Cheryl the host, lives nearby, always quick to respond to any questions and needs. Will definitely be back here again.

Many return stays here over the years - quiet, peaceful, scenic location at end of a one-mile dirt road; walk out back door into miles of Joshua Tree terrain/nature; only 10 minutes to town; 20 minutes to Joshua Tree; comfortably furnished; well-equipped kitchen; large TV screen Roku-equipped; owner responsive.

Staying here is like having your own National Park out the back door. After hiking Joshua Tree we really enjoyed hiking these trails all by ourselves. So peaceful and beautiful! The house had everything we needed and then some. It was so comfortable and we enjoyed the wildlife. Perfect relaxing end to our trip to Palm Springs and Yucca Valley. One of our top VRBO experiences!

Home is roomy, comfortable and clean. Surrounded by open space and nature, it was a lovely retreat to come back to after busy days in Joshua Tree National Park and Big Morongo birding area.

Cheryl rightly earns 5-star ratings for this property. Bravo!

My wife and I wanted a nice quiet basecamp for visiting JTNP. Cheryl’s place was perfect.
It’s almost to the end of a dirt road in an uber quiet neighborhood overlooking the valley. Altho the weather didn’t cooperate, we did get one beautiful sunrise over our 5 night stay.
The drives to any of the north park entrances were easy peasy. The beds were comfy, the place and grounds were clean and tidy, and the kitchen was adequately stocked with cookware and stuff.
Decent grocery stores in the valley and some good restaurants….Pies for the People had good pizza but stay away from Las Palmas. I’ve had better Mexican food 30 minutes south of the Canadian border.
I’d stay there again 👍

What an amazing find close to Joshua Tree. Cheryl's place was amazingly well kept and clean. Has a very homely vibe. We felt very comfortable. Also the place is close enough to Joshua Tree yet very quiet and isolated. Lovely walk from the back to some wilderness and nice rock formations. Loved the stay there and will definitely be back.

Whatever your plans are - stay and relax or take short trips around the area, this is a very nicely kept property with all the homely feel and necessities fully stocked. Highly recommended. Stayed here with kids and they loved it totally.

Hiiltop Home is a clean, quaint home with two spacious bedrooms and an open living/dining area. The home offers beautiful vistas, especially at sunrise and sunset. Cheryl has the home supplied with many items( toilet paper, dish soap, laundry soap, etc… ) which is a great help when traveling from long distances. We didn’t give ourselves enough time (stayed just 2 nights) to simply relax and enjoy the home and its surroundings. Thank you, Cheryl!

Do believe every positive review about this property, because it is all true, and then some. As I told Cheryl this morning on our way out, I typically leave rentals cleaner and tidier than I find them, but it was practically impossible in this case. The home is an absolute delight and Cheryl has thought of everything. There is something really special about this property and I am glad to see that renters have treated it kindly, since there are antique items big and small all over the house that couldn't possibly be replaced. It is such a delight to have this timeless home available to those who appreciate what it represents. The beds were very comfortable, which we find is quite rare in vacation rentals. We spent a weekend in the area for stargazing (specifically, the Perseid meteor shower); we saw quite a few meteors the first night right from the backyard. The second night-- contrary to the suggestion of the park ranger, who told us that we surely had the same dark skies where the house was located as they did inside the park--we drove into the park. What a mistake that was! We spent hours stuck in traffic and ended up seeing the exact same stellar spectacle we had experienced from the comfort of the home's backyard. Moral of the story: if you are in the area for stargazing in addition to everything else JTNP has to offer, you need not go anywhere past the backyard of this home to experience the best of the area's dark skies. Truly a spectacular stay! Thank you, Cheryl!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful and quiet house. Our host were discreet and very attentive to all our needs. The house is very pretty, comfortable, fully equipped and pleasant to live in, very quiet and relaxing. Joshua Tree Park is about fifteen minutes away, so it was very convenient for us who like to hike. We will definitely be back!

We LOVED staying here. It feels like walking into the house of your favorite aunt, that also happens to be adjacent to some of the most beautiful scenery that the high desert has to offer. While we didn't see a bobcat or tortoise this trip, there was all kinds of wildlife right outside the front door. We can't wait to come back. Thanks for a great trip, Cheryl!!

The location of this place was perfect for us. Tucked away and quiet with gorgeous scenic desert surrounding us. The house was set up well, fully stocked, and very clean. We especially appreciated the price when compared to other listings! Highly recommended.

This is our second stay at this location. That should be enough. But we really enjoy being this close to a national park, this close to the facilities in town, and this FAR away from everything!

Great location. Joshua Tree National Park is very close with lots to see with wonderful hikes. Also spent some time watching tennis at Indian Wells. Spent a great day at Palm Springs Air Museum.

The house and surrounding property was as advertised. It was a quiet place with lots of area to hike and lots of wildlife. There were lots of birds and jackrabbits close to the house. And it was a real treat to see a Bobcat 3 times right out the widow.
Cheryl was a very good hostess. The few problems were taken care of promptly and efficiently.
The weather was cooler with more windy than we expected, but Feb of 2023 was cooler in most places. So, all in all, it was a very nice place.

This house is in a nice, quiet area with lots of nature to listen to. Walk out the back yard to miles of desert hiking. Beautiful rocks, trees, birds and more along the hikes. Nature visits you at the house in the way of quail, jays, coyotes and other wildlife. It's an amazing get away. The house is fully equipped and incredibly comfortable. We hope to stay again for a longer time.
Thank you for a wonderful stay!
