Destressing in the desert
Beautiful relaxing property with all we needed to destress and just be. No elaborate checkout procedures (just put stuff back where you found it, run the dishwasher), real furniture inside and out so you can actually relax, beautiful views, stunning sound system, and great coffee! Excellent communication with host. We are already planning return.
It is a spacious one bedroom one bathroom nestled in the desert between the two northern Joshua Tree entrances. Host was super communicative and the property was beautiful. I liked the specific directions to the property, especially the advisory that Google Maps is incorrect. That saved me for sure. I also like the light button labels and the comfortable furnishings. My only recommendation is a washer and dryer for people who would need them. I highly recommend the property to prospective visitors!

A Great Desert Retreat
The property was a wonderful oasis in the desert. It was secluded yet had easy access to all amenities. Patricia, the property manager, was super helpful and responsive. I would encourage individuals, families, and business travelers to utilize this property. The fact that this property was historically significant (Red Skelton) made it even more enjoyable and unique.
