From the time I booked this VBRO, the host was in contact with me and answered every question in a timely manner. His property is backed up to Joshua Tree with majestic boulders surrounding the back of the property and the pool was very private. He gave us a tour and explained the history of the property and has a wealth a knowledge of the area. My wife and I went for a quiet, anniversary weekend and this place did not disappoint. Very much a desert vibe, quiet, with roadrunners, quail, jack rabbits, lizard's and at night we loved watching the sunset by the pool with a few bats fluttering about eating any flying bugs and getting a sip of water. I hiked the back of his property to hopefully see a big horn sheep but unfortunately, I didn't see any but there are prints and droppings. If you enjoy the desert and love the desert views, expect peace and quiet, multitude or stars at night, and I forgot to say, a very comfortable bed......book this place, you won't regret it! Thanks again, we will be back!

Dale has created an amazing oasis in the desert. We really enjoyed the pool!! The house is well maintained. He has everything you need. Hiking in the area is exceptional. Stores are close by and several really good restaurants in town. I would highly recommend it for a family vacation spot!!

What a magical experience to stay. Dale is an incredible host whose homestead reflects his artistry and creativity that we were honored to get to stay at, he genuinely wants his guests to have a great time. Come for the pool, stay for the warm atmosphere and the caves and multiple outdoor hang out spots (the hot tub under the stars was a major highlight). Could not recommend more and we will definitely be back next year for our annual visit.
