Perfection!
This home was absolutely top notch! Gorgeous, cozy and truly memorable…and that was even without getting to enjoy the spa/pool due to cool weather! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay as we explored Joshua Tree and the area! Fantastic, responsive owners as well! Thank you for a wonderful get-a-way!

Top desert oasis
Thank you so much for such a truly beautiful home. It is by far one of the best organized and well-maintained rentals that we have ever used. Communication, rental information and location were perfect. The outdoor living is superb. Pool, hot tub and fire pit were terrific! All indoor appliances and electronics were easily operated and in great condition. Our family truly enjoyed our stay.

Magical escape!
This property made me fall in love with the desert! Check in was seamless, Skip and Monica even let us check in early at no charge. The location of the property is great & neighborhood is very quiet, food & anything else you need is less than 10 min drive. The house was luxurious: immaculately clean, AC worked great, comfortable beds, the master bathroom was LOVELY. The interior design was tasteful. The layout of the house was well thought out, loved that the master bed, the living room, and the sitting area all had doors leading to the pool. The pool was the highlight - my family spent the majority of our time in the pool and hot tub. Huge back yard perfect for our dogs to run around. There was a nice shady area in the back, which was great because even during the heat of the day our dogs had somewhere to go that wouldn’t hurt their paws. The view from the back yard was breath taking. Loved doing yoga in the early morning out back - it was soo peaceful and relaxing. At night we saw the largest shooting star I have ever seen! It lit up the whole night sky for over a minute, my family and I were stunned. Such a wonderful getaway. Needless to say we did not want to leave!

Incredible Desert Getaway!
This trip was comprised of 8 well traveled women and this was undoubtedly the most incredible vacation home we have ever stayed in! The house was immaculate in every facet. Being able to jump in the pool after coming home from hiking Joshua Tree to watching a movie on their cozy couch, all 8 of us could have stayed here forever. If you’re looking for a desert getaway that feels like home, this is it! Skip and Monica were amazing. I cannot wait to come back one day!

Perfect family vacation
Absolutely perfect for our family vacation. The house is meticulously maintained and clean. Everything is available from bathroom and kitchen supplies to even hats for hiking. Spa area is perfect to cool down the heat or relax under the stars. Absolutely quiet location with opportunities to see quails, roadrunners, lizards directly on the property. Hosts are very responsive. We would return any time.

Awesome property on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park
This property is well located on the end of a cul-de-sac near the border of Joshua Tree National Park. The house is very well maintained and the owners obviously take pride in offering a great experience for their visitors. The bedrooms and baths are clean, comfortable and well equipped The kitchen is open to a sitting area and the barbecue is just outside the kitchen door. Outside we enjoyed use of the pool and spa and looked at the night sky while sitting by the fire ring. Skip and Monica are great hosts and we highly recommend this property!

Don't Miss This Gem: Perfect VRBO for Exploring and Unwinding
This VRBO was amazing! It had everything we could've needed, even extras like spices and dog bowls. The hot tub was the perfect way to unwind at night, with incredible star views. Plus, the location was super convenient to hikes and yummy food. We'd definitely stay here again!

Nothing to do but relax
My husband and I stayed here with our two young adult children and it was a perfect spot to start our Joshua Tree adventures. The hosts were very responsive to questions before arrival and offered additional tips to enjoy both the home and the area. The house is beautiful and so comfortable. We quickly felt right at home and every time I looked for something I needed it was easily found. The kitchen is well-appointed and we made good use of it and enjoyed most meals together at the house instead of out. There are great spaces to gather but also plenty of room to spread out and have a bit of privacy. All of us found the beds comfortable and really enjoyed the great room (living room). The backyard was fun to explore and offered beautiful sunrise and sunset views. The hot tub was frequently enjoyed and was a great stargazing spot. We loved that it felt a bit remote, but was just a quick trip to town and to the park. Everything was spotlessly clean and really offered all of the little things one could want in a getaway. Thank you, Skip & Monica, for being wonderful hosts and maintaining such a beautiful home for others to enjoy.

Amazing home with everything a group needs to function and have fun. We were a family of eight, from 18 to 82 and all of us were thrilled to share Thanksgiving 2023 here. Owners have created an oasis in Yucca Valley. This is a home with lots to do, spa, pool, games. Well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. Equipped with everything to make your stay perfect. Great communication with owners.

Great decor, comfy beds and linens, walking distance to some amazing trails, and a shorty drive to JT national park. The pool and spa were fantastic. We spent a lot of time enjoying the spectacular backyard. Don’t hesitate renting this one. It was better than we could have imagined.

Awesome place
The entire house was clean and well organized. Friendly reminders throughout, without being overbearing about the rules. The location is fantastic. Its close to everything in Joshua Tree, yet you feel isolated and can be at peace with the beauty and magic of the desert landscape. The pool and hottub are a great refuge after a long day hitting the local trails. Overall, one of the best, if not the best property's we have stayed at in the world.

Like staying at a friend's house
We've stayed at a wide variety of VRBO's, in every sense of the word. I was so impressed with this one that I had to think about how best to sum it up. More than just staying at a nice rental, it really felt like staying at a friend's vacation home. Well equipped with actual nice things, with good kitchen knives for example, not cheap rental-quality knives. Thoughtful touches everywhere that you'd do if you were actually living there. And a great location, with the desert right out the door. Highly recommend Skip & Monica's property.

Truly an exquisite home! The house was spotless, and so well appointed. The layout was perfect for 2 families traveling together.

The pool and jacuzzi were clean, warm and inviting and seemed brand new! The owners Skip and Monica were easy to reach and lovely to communicate with.

Kitchen had everything to make a nice meal. Really loved having the den/family room off the kitchen, as well as the grill just outside the kitchen door.
