Steph's Panorama Paradise-Nat'l Park minutes away

It was clean, fully equipped with fun decor, comfortable beds and lots of wildlife viewing. Steph was quick to respond to any question we had.

Nothing.

This is clearly the home of an artist, and such an eclectic mix! Inside the home and throughout the property, there was art to be found. This property is minutes away from Joshua Tree National Park. We had good intentions of visiting, and we did. Once. That might sound lazy, but we're familiar with Joshua Tree and, frankly, there's so much of what we like about Joshua Tree right here on the property, minus the crowds. There are two comfy and beautiful patios, one enclosed, so we could enjoy viewing outdoors regardless of the weather. Steph has also made the property around the home comfortable for birds and small desert creatures, providing food and two small, hidden water sources. We really enjoyed the resident population. We brought our food, wine, tiki cocktail supplies, and favorite music with us, and we were basically IN the park. There are plenty of provided board games and DVD movies, in case the Wi-Fi is having a bad day. So, our motivation to leave the property was...? Well, the checkout date was about it.

The day we had to leave.

A great location, very close to Joshua Tree National Park. A wonderful owner and hostess. Very responsive, friendly and helpful. Comfortable bed, good shower, plenty of space except for the kitchen and toilet areas. The owner is a wildlife lover and therefore has created a small watering hole, which is easily visible from inside the glass porch. We were able to photograph birds, chipmunks, rabbits and even a snake, a striped Rosy Boa, who came for a drink. The owner is also an artist and collector of artistic things. Which makes for an ambiance of peace and fun things to examine. We loved the wide open space (5 acres) on one side of the house. . . a great view!

This is an older, kind of quirky, house. There is very little counter space in the kitchen. . . where there is oddly two sinks. The sinks kind of cuts the kitchen in half with the cabinets on either side of those centered sinks. Awkward to say the least. If you really love cooking, this may not be your favorite place. Also, the two toilets are kind of cramped and behind the bathroom doors. It's good that we are on the slim side. Saying that. . . you couldn't find a nicer owner!

Spacious, nicely decorated, well stocked, beautiful view!

The property was furnished to a very high standard, the owner has great taste. Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty it was just perfection. The host was very helpful and friendly. Easily one of the best places we have stayed and we’ve traveled a lot :)

N/a

The place is so peaceful and quiet. A good place for RnR. Very close to Joshua Tree National Park West Entrance and Joshua Tree Visitors Center in Twentynine Palms and local food. The house is clean, and well stocked with basic and essentials, if your cooking. I am a new driver so my mantra for this trip is "Safety first" that means no driving at night, so I thought I would be missing sunrise, sunset and stargazing, but this place offers them all directly from the backyard. I love feeding the critters too, and watching them right from the window. I enjoyed my stay in this place so much.

Very comfortable and great views.

The short road leading up to the house is very rough. Take your time.

It has personality, artsy, nature loving, thoughtful vibes. It is not sterile and bland. It has rich history and thoughtful, intentional atmosphere. It is extremely comfortable.

There was nothing I didn’t like.

my eyesight was not quite good enough to read the lockbox numerals easily.. They are small and the place was dark. A bright iphone flashlight, reading glasses were necessary to dial in the combo.

rough and potholed dirt/sand road from street up through neighborhood to property. OK for sedan.
