Fabulous time at Casa Altura!
We spent an amazing week at Casa Altura in Joshua Tree. The house and pool were outstanding. Entrance to Coyote Hole canyon is right up the street and the main entrance to Joshua Tree is 5 minutes away. Eddie was super helpful and super responsive- we listened to all of his vinyl on the new turntable. We will definitely be staying again!

Incredible Stay Minutes from JTNP
Our family of five absolutely loved our stay at Casa Altura! Our host, Eddie, was super communicative and made every aspect of our stay easy and enjoyable. We have stayed in many vacation rentals as a family over the years and this stay is at the top of our list. The beds were very comfortable and the wide open kitchen and living area offered the perfect place to cook, play games and listen to Eddie’s well-stocked record collection- all with the stunning desert hills as a backdrop. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub and truly epic stargazing. The proximity to Joshua Tree National Park was ideal for early days spent adventuring before the crowds arrived. Lastly - a little thing that made a big impact - the kitchen was stocked with essential cooking items often missing from other places like a wide array of spices and olive oil as well as coffee and hot cocoa for the kids. We highly recommend this stay and will definitely book Casa Altura again!

Integratron weekend
Casa Altura is by far the nicest, cleanest, most beautiful and most relaxing place we have ever stayed in the desert. The pictures show how gorgeous of a house Casa Altura is but you really have to experience it in person to feel the good vibes. The pool, hot tub and view are to die for. The beds are super comfy and the house has all the amenities you need AND 2 bathrooms which allowed my partner and I to have our own areas. The location is 5 min drive from the west park entrance and its a 15 min walk down to the heart of J-Tree. It is an easy drive from there to Yucca V or out to Landers where we went to an Integratron sound bath and floated out to the 4th dimension. The owner, Eddie, couldn’t be more helpful or kind or communicative or welcoming. The instructions for entering and using the various appliances are clear and easy to understand. The views are insane and change every hour of the day. My partner and I enjoyed spying on the desert rabbits, roadrunners and coyotes that cruise around just outside of the property. My favorite moment was on our second night being awoken by the yip and howl of a coyote outside. Nothing more beautiful than that. We will definitely be returning to Casa Altura soon. Thank you Eddie for providing such a beautiful place to stay.

Amazing stay!
My husband and I have stayed in a LOT of vacation rentals, and I can easily say that Casa Altura was the best place we've ever stayed in. The property itself was just awesome. The interior offered a fully-stocked kitchen, books, games, a record player, tv with all the streaming services... anything you could need to decompress and embrace the environment around you. There were plant-based bath products (not sure if this was intentional but I appreciated it!) The beds are comfy and there are plenty of blankets for getting snuggly. The washer and dryer were clutch for us as we were in the middle of a multi-stop trip. The exterior- a pool and a spa- just perfect. And you can't beat the backdrop, the surrounding landscape is unreal! We saw so many different types of birds, jack rabbits, lots of little critters. The property is situated in a way that it feels mostly above the surrounding area, which added to the private feeling. The communication prior to, during, and even after our stay was excellent. Eddie was available for anything we needed! We can't wait to come back- this place is truly one of a kind!
