The Lucky Moon Retreat was a fantastic home base for a spring break getaway. The backyard is an amazing place - cool landscape, lots of seating options for sun or shade, and of course the hot tub for relaxing after a day of hiking the nearby parks.

The house was perfect. Has everything we needed for our stay as well as great space. And the backyard… gorgeous. Even in a neighborhood setting, with the high fence it felt very secluded. At night it was beautifully lit. Was so relaxing for all of us. James was an excellent host. We’ve stayed in rentals in the area five times in the last two years and had we started here, we would have always come back.

What a beautiful home! We loved all the personal touches, interesting artwork, comfy beds, extras like coffee and a phenomenal backyard with hot tub, hammocks, fire ring, sun deck, and outdoor seating. James was an amazing host and helped with a check in challenge. This is by far the nicest home we have ever stayed in. Top notch!

My husband , our two adult children, and two small dogs stayed at James’s property. It was exactly as described and shown in photos. So comfortable, such a peaceful home and a great backyard to relax in. The home is in a quiet neighborhood very close to Joshua Tree National Park. The home has all the amenities we needed and more - loved that the host provided some toiletries. Such a nice touch! We barely cooked because the chef needed a vacation but the kitchen was well stocked with what we needed. We loved the booklets with house rules- made it easy for us. And loved the booklet with suggestions. We tried Pie for the People (pizza) and it was delicious! Thank you, James, for your hospitality and your very quick response time when I had as question about my dogs. We all agree that this home is where we will stay next time we want to visit Joshua Tree.

Really lovely home with an amazing yard. Great kitchen, great amenities, would absolutely stay again, thank you so much!
