We wanted a place near Joshua tree, but still accessable to Palm springs. This was it, it was just like the photos. We flew in late on our first day and it was dark, really dark, when we arrived, and we couldn't believe how many stars we could see from the back yard. The outdoor space was great: Outdoor table and chairs and seating area with fire table, pool, hot tub and hammocks - we used them all. Good property location, feels safe and it's quiet. Would return & would recommend.
