We rented the house for one night only as we were passing through the area after a day at Joshua Tree National park, and this was exactly what we were looking for. The house was clean, inviting, secluded and it felt like you were out in the middle of the desert (except you had all the amenities of a house). We really enjoyed our late afternoon / evening simply relaxing with our home cooked dinner, some vino, checking out the stars, having a fire and of course the hot spring tub. We had communicated prior and during our stay with Doug whose communication was clear and within acceptable timeframes. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!
