Popular Homestead! Location, Stargaze, Views!

The location was amazing - right on the edge of the desert with fantastic views and sunsets! We woke up on the first morning with two coyotes trotting past which was incredible. Lots of birds too, which we are especially interested in. There was even a resident dove's nest on the air conditioning unit with two chicks! The place was very comfortable and clean.

It was slightly peculiar using the bathroom sink to wash up in but we got used to it. Also the paper plates were slightly strange (although I guess to help cut down on washing up required), but it would have been nice to have had proper crockery, even if it was plastic. There was no freezer either, which would have been nice to store some ice in.

The outside garden is super and also all the board games and guitar

The pictures on booking don’t match with the apartment, It is a big house divided in two and the pictures show both apartments. We were convinced we were booking the hole house instead we booked only part of it. We were 4 and there was only one king bed and a sofa that became a bed (but doesn’t fit two adults) so we slept three people in the king bed and one in the sofa. Moreover we thought to have also the backyard instead we could only use the front yard. The bathroom has a strange smell and the shutters on the window make a lot a light come in at sunrise we woke up at 4:30 am because of the light and were really tired. There was also no kitchen in our part of the house, there was only a microwave, fridge and oven, not even a sink where to wash the dishes. In the pictures of the house you see a huge kitchen with a big living room and that is not what we got

A most charming spacious apartment and desert garden. Quiet and cozy. Loved the turntable and vinyl selection and abundance of humming birds. And the moon and stars at night. Close to town and the park entrance. The host was gracious and generous with recommendations.

Bumpy dirt road was a bit of a challenge, though being off the main road made for a private relaxing stay.

Away from it all with the most amazing views.

The view from the studio is amazing. It is a place of heaven…

Everything about the property was sublime. It was so well appointed, there was everything you could need plus more. It was such a beautiful location too.

There were no negatives at all.

Extremely comfortable and relaxing. A lot of heart & soul has been put into this property.

Very isolated unique property in the desert! Close to Joshua Tree NP. Unfortunately couldn't take advantage of stargazing because of cloudy skies.

It's always helpful to have access to washer/dryer while traveling.
