Renovated Lodge - Room 2 with pool access

This was one of our best stays! I wished I could have stayed longer than one night. The house, area, and room are beautifully designed with modern furnishing and a fully equipped kitchen. The filtered water is delicious. So many lovely details that make this place cozy! The garden is adorable with lots to discover, areas to relax and stargaze at night. The pool is beautifully lit at night, although not heated so you can’t stay in there for too long while stargazing :) In the morning, i saw a little desert rabbit going through the garden. Please note that it is in natue, so lots of animals to observe and discover, this only added to the magic! It is secluded, so you won‘t have light pollution. And the room is small, but spotlessly clean with beautiful furnishing/design and everything you need. The checkin was fully remote and worked seamlessly. We also enjoyed meeting the other people in the common areas and have a little chat while there are enough places for privacy if needed.

The only things we feel like mentioning are these: - the way to the house is a bumpy unpaved road and we had trouble several times with our lower sports car to get there without damaging the underside. I know this is nothing that the owner can change and comes with the perk of the seclusion of the house, but we think this must be mentioned more clearly to guests before they decide to book. Due to the seclusion, you should thus bring your meals with you as we arrived late and didn‘t dare to drive the way back to town again for dinner so we had to eat what we had left instead of being able to make use of the well-equipped kitchen. - no cell phone connection and the wifi instruction is not so clear from the beginning. Hint: the / in the description mail separates the wifi name from the password ;) - our bed was a bit ‚bumpy‘ and shifted when one person moved. We checked in the morning and the bed seemed to have been missing one wheel. If this was repaired, the bed would become a bit more stable. - the property can be used eg for weddings, so behind the pool is a whole walk-in area that looks a bit messy, because there‘s the outdoor kitchen, unused fridge, etc. If the owner added cupboards, curtains or similar to the part then you could hide away all this equipment. As it has doors at the entrances, you won‘t immediately see this area and it didn’t bother us, but there is some unused potential :)

Everything it was amazing

No breakfast

Very noisy. Poor sound insulation. Pool not heated.

The setting is beautiful, with a large garden. It was fun meeting the other people who shared the common space and kitchen.

The title says renovated, but this must have been awhile ago. The kitchen is tired. It was not that clear in the announcement that you share the kitchen with the 4 other parties. This should have been more clearly stated. The walls between the room one and two are very thin, so that you hear the others talk.

The bed was comfortable, and the room was very clean. Location was close to Joshua Tree entrance and downtown Joshua Tree.

The walls were paper thin. So much for trying to sleep! The people in the room next to us were having some intimate couple time which we felt like we were part of for an impressive 45+ minutes. The room was super small too, the photos were very misleading. I could hardly bend over to shave my legs in the shower.

It was really beautifully done, clean and the location is great for the park. loved it.

The address and access details were given by clicking on an external link within the email, rather than email itself. It may be convenient for them, but makes it quite complicated because it relies on phone/internet on the property to check in, which there is not! Had to drive back down to Joshua Tree in the dark to get the codes to enter... sometimes simple is best!

This place is just 5 minutes away from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. Therefore if you are planning to explore the park, this is just right perfect! Instructions to check in and check out were very straight forward to follow. You have enough privacy.

Check out time was too early. Usually is 11 AM in other bookings.

I loved the beautiful peaceful location! Wildlife and vast views of the entire Valley! The room was very comfortable- cozy and perfect for outer needs. It was fun meeting the fellow travelers in the lovely great room and kitchen and out by the wonderful artistically designed pool. It was such a great stay! The host was very attentive helping us to check in too❤️
