    Beautiful house brilliantly maintained at a perfect location. We were at JTNP for astrophotography and felt we couldn't have picked a more perfect place as our base. Communication with the host was great and all instructions provided so clear. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and I look forward to staying here again for our future visits to the beautiful park.

    Great location right near the entrance to The Joshua Tree National Park. The property is very well equipped. The kitchen has everything you need, large fridge, comfortable beds. The lounge room is spacious and the property also has a washer and clothes dryer which was super handy.

    I liked everything about my stay. WKNDR made my experience of the park complete. I felt I never left the beauty and solitude of Joshua Tree Park. The house was very comfortable, surrounded by beauty from every window. Perfect to go back and take breaks from our walks in the park. The front porch perfect for relaxing , reading a book or sitting at night with beauty of the sky. Highly recommend.

    We were bummed the hottub wasn't working. We were looking forward to that. The shower head seems to need to be replaced. With the amount of water pressure everywhere else, it was low pressure likely from sediment buildup

    We loved the location to Joshua Tree. The house was great. Unique but classy. Very well appointed.

    Great location in a dark sky area to view the stars. Nice chairs outside that make it easy to look up at the beautiful dark sky. Do go in the daytime as the street sign is missing, but Apple GPS was spot on. You turn onto a dirt road and its a short drive there. The code to open up the front door is easy to use and the inside of the house is nicely decorated, has a big kitchen and 2 very comfortable queen beds.

    There are two dining tables on the property, but one is outside and the second in the separate little casita. It would be very charming during hot summers but rather cold in February.

    The WKNDR is in a fantastic location, near the border of the Joshua Tree Park, away from other homes and with beautiful views towards the Twentynine Palms. We were lucky enough to observe a few coyotes early mornings and hummingbirds came to visit in warmer hours of the day. Very beautiful and charming place. Inside the place was spotless clean and very tastefully decorated. Beds are very comfortable, with warm blankets and a selection of pillows. Large sofas in the living area were comfy, great for morning and evening lounging. In the kitchen we found many basics: coffee; sugar, olive oil, spices, etc.

    Would have liked a tabletop or corner hanging light fixture in the couch area rather than the overhead ceiling light. Would have been more subtle and compliment the decor. Water pressure in shower was very weak. Have the hot tub functioning.

    Well equipped kitchen with staples!! So considerate! Bedding Outdoor patio Proximity to the National Park Absolute silence of property, isolation of location Outdoor eating space with grill Providing lanterns Decor

    I honestly can’t think of anything.

    We did not lack anything. This is basically someone’s home and they gave us access to it. Everything you would want in your house, is already there. You are as private as you want to be and the view is ridiculous.

    It was just great. We liked everything. It was super clean, tastefully decorated. Theree es us everything you need to cook. Lots of space an shadow place around the house. We loved stargazing there. We did not use the hottub but the area behind the house is very nice. I loved the dragonfly’s flying around the house. It is nice to be that near to the NP entrance and it felt safe to stay there. The house has very good vibes and it feels very relaxing to be there an See the sunrise and sunsets.

    Great location. Enjoyed beautiful stargazing in the evening. Very comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, nice chairs and firepit outside to keep warm. Fast and very helpful host, answered our questions quickly. Fridge was broken when we arrived and a new one was installed before the afternoon was out!
