Stayed during mid-March. The property is excellently furnished with all the amenities. It was very clean and has great views of the mountains. The hammocks are great for a nap after lunch. The location near the park and Yucca Valley town is great, but still feels somewhat secluded. Be prepared to drive on dirt roads to get there.
We absolutely loved this little gem! It was the perfect place for us. Close to Joshua National Park and town but secluded enough for privacy. It was very clean and I loved cooking on the old stove! Our dogs loved it. Concrete flooring so easy cleanup. We would stay here again.
