Joshua Tree 4BR Desert Retreat by Colby and Conrad

The house was clean

Very disappointed with the stay. The hosts were well aware of the air conditioning not working yet still allowed us to check into the house. It was like a sauna inside the house with 98° weather outside (yet outside was much cooler than inside the house and we had to spend most of our stay outside). I understand things go bad or malfunction but we should have never been allowed to check in knowing the air conditioning was not working. On the second day after begging the hosts to please do something about the air conditioning they sent someone to fix it and bring a portable ac (that we had to beg for as well). However, he was no help and told us he needed to order a part but that “the ac was on”. It in fact was not on and I messaged the hosts to inform them that it was still out and not working but no apology or consideration from them. Overall, this stay was horrible and the hosts did not seem to care at all.

The layout was good

The AC and hot bath were not working. Inspite of repeated request for two days till we checked out it was not fixed. They kept on lying it will be fixed . It’s fixed. We can tj chill and relax whereas we had to spend without AC in 89 ferenhit temperatures. For starters gazing hot bath is there but it was cold only. They told i should have checked fuse? Is it my duty as guest to know all this? It’s there duty to check before we arrive facilities are working or not. I even requested for resolution no response. Only apology. I need compensation for nightmarish experience.

Very clean. Linens were nice. Nice cooking utensils and pots/pans. Hot tub was nice.

There was 6 piles of dog poop in the back yard I had to pick up when we got there. The toaster was broken.

Very lovely place with a lot of space. We booked only a couple of hours before, but the owner was quick answering our questions, so everything worked well and all was ready upon our arrival. We could even hop into the whirlpool right away, as it was already prewarmed. We were first sceptical due to the lack of ratings, but everything was exactly as described and on the photos. Great place to spend a few relaxing days with friends or family. We would have loved to stay longer.
