"Great room and the staff were accommodating and welcoming! Highly recommended for a Joshua Tree stay! "

"This was a special trip for me and my two girls. After a long struggle with Long Covid, my older daughter is finally doing much better, and we wanted to celebrate.Joshua Tree Retreat was a wonderful place to escape to. The three‑bedroom home, filled with unique artwork, books, and colorful walls, felt truly special—definitely not your everyday VRBO. Dale’s stories about the history behind the artwork and books made exploring them even more meaningful. The numerous outdoor sitting areas, the hot tub, and the unbelievably beautiful pool offered peaceful places to relax and spend time together. Even working outdoors felt like a reprieve. And how refreshing to stay in a VRBO with a well‑stocked kitchen and quality cookware.The retreat is a short distance from both the North and West entrances to the park, making it easy to explore early and late in the day to avoid the heat. The Barker Dam and Hidden Valley hikes are great for everyone, but for me, seeing my daughter able to enjoy them again was incredibly gratifying. A sunset stroll inside the nearby park boundary—something Dale can give directions for—was also wonderful.Dale was kind enough to extend a late checkout for us, which allowed us to enjoy the morning, soak our feet in the pool, and then transition easily to meeting family later in the day in Palm Springs. We truly appreciated his understanding and the extra care."

"Underneath the bed was another guest's pair of used socks. The wallpaper was peeling and showed signs of mold beneath it. But the hot tub worked very well and was clean! However, we requested the Jungle room, called a week prior to confirm, and then showed up and was told it was not available. "

"Unfriendly staff, seemed like an annoyance that I was checking in. Bedding and towels old and ragged, looked clean at least. Sink plugged..wouldn’t drain in the morning. Need to be short to take a shower. Dirty walls noticed after being there. "

"It was comfortable and close to the park"

" Breakfast was warm"

"Great staff and the room was spacious. The laundry is a separate business next door. We visited in February and the outside area was not like the pictures! Good supermarket next door but not many walkable dining options."

"Amazing spot for rest and RESET!"

"Staff was super friendly, it was beautiful and I can’t wait to go back! "
