Property had a great vibe. Very well located and peaceful

A perfect location, close to "downtown" Joshua Tree, but with easy access to hiking etc., in a house with lots of personality. We'd stay there again!

Great, comfortable house in an excellent location. Can’t wait to come back. Melissa

First, the checkin was probably the easiest ever as we got the code in a timely fashion. The neighborhood/location was perfect. Safe area and super close to town and park entrance. Great communication. Regarding the home, we LOVED it!! Retro, kitschy, cozy, comfortable. It was a fun place to stay and we enjoyed grilling & hanging outside in the covered backyard area. Look forward to staying here again.

Wow, what a great getaway! The lava house is beautiful and full of neat touches. Mark has an incredible collection of records and old vintage games to entertain. The location is very close to the park so you can easily hop over for sunsets in Joshua Tree. Overall, we had an incredibly relaxing long weekend and could not recommend more highly.

Perfect … perfect … perfect!!!

Loved this place, lots to do in the house (which was great because we actually had bad weather for a few of the days we stayed). Very comfortable and well appointed.

Great location and good value if you want quick access to the park and close to the saloon which has great food and a nice atmosphere. Mark was very accommodating, personable and nice and let us check in early since we arrived sooner than expected. Everything was dated, but clean and functional and the bed was comfortable and the outdoor area was pleasurable. It would improve the general sense of enjoyment if there was a bit less junk outside and the frayed lounging chairs were replaced. There was a broken chandelier lying on the ground and I think what was an old soaking tub that had straw in and around it. There was a chair with a woven seat that had broken plastic weaving and some sort of large stainless container that might have been a whirlpool tub outside full of stuff that just added to a run down feel that didn't lend itself to an "i'm on holiday" feel. I get it that Joshua Tree is a place to be chill, but a little effort could make this more inviting. Lots of barking dogs during the night in the neighborhood, which is certainly no reflection on the owner, but if you want to sleep with the windows open I would bring earplugs. The folder in house recommends the Las Palmas Mexican cuisine - the food is inexplicably bland so close to Mexico, the atmosphere was dungeon like and the clientele was obnoxious - a definite skip.
