Cozy Desert Escape in Joshua Tree
We stayed two nights to explore Joshua Tree. It is an approx. 10 minute drive to get in the park but approx. 30-50 minutes to get to the sights Joshua Tree has to offer (such as Cholla Cactus Garden). I loved all the tiny details that were put in the apartment. Even a layout including exit doors was available as well as a welcome book with all important details.😊 The kitchen was fully equipped and all amenities described on the listing were available.

Luxury private suite in Palm Desert
We stayed here for Coachella 2025 weekend 1. It’s about a 30 second drive to the shuttle pick up which was amazing. You can even walk there, but we didn’t because it was over 100° all weekend. There was water in the fridge when we got there which was so nice! The bed was clean and comfortable and overall the space was just perfect for two people. Hermi is also super responsive and gave out 99% of the information we needed before we even arrived. Overall, 1000/10!! Bonus points for the strong AC AND ceiling fan :)

Joshua Tree Modern Guest House
This cute guest house was actually bigger than we thought! The detail was super kitschy and cute and we had everything we needed! Loved the record player and the games and the little vintage workout center! We also loved the hot tub and the view and the grill because we definitely cooked! The house was clean, inviting, open airy and super comfortable! Also forgot to mention all of the books were amazing also! I wish I had more time to take in the whole house but we were exploring the area also! I would definitely stay here again and I would highly recommend this place! If you like to cook like we do, I would definitely bring spices and condiments to your liking! Lots of little extras and thank you so much!

Guesthouse in private estate setting
Very beautiful outdoor space with interesting artwork throughout. We enjoyed relaxing in the sun but would have liked to have the ability to have the pool heated and control of the heating of the jacuzzi. Home is in a great location and very close to restaurants and shops.

Hilltop Casita-Amazing Views-Western Hills Estates
We enjoyed our night at this wonderful little spot while visiting Joshua tree. It was nice and close to the Yucca valley town ship which made getting to restaurants etc easy. The view and surrounds were gorgeous. Everything was clean modern and comfortable, with a nice homely feel. We wish we had longer there!

The Gecko Getaway
I had a wonderful stay at this cozy spot. The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing getaway. The desert views were stunning. Highly recommend!

"La Casita de Amor"-Indian Palms CC
The room is nice and very clean, with a very cute outdoor terrasse with a peaceful view on the water. Perfect spot if you are staying for a festival. I wish there would be bikes (x2) available for the guests staying at the house to use them to go to the festival, because it is still a long walk from the house (doable but long). The host was very nice and reactive, and shared a lot of useful information. It was a very nice stay and comfortable, but still pricy for what you get, but this is due to the festival season. Thanks again Terry and Alex, we had a great time with my sister!

Desert Peace and Tranquility in Joshua Tree
Denise’s stay was the perfect getaway near Joshua Tree. The space was charming and private. Nothing could be sunset in the hot tub. I can’t recommend staying at Denise’s enough.

Private & Peaceful Casita in Movie Colony
We had a wonderful stay in Robert's casita. Especially the privacy of the patio was stunning both at night and in the morning for having coffee and relaxed reading/hanging out. There were a couple of interesting architecture books on Palm Springs houses in the casita we loved to go through. Would come back anytime

Modern Casita! Pool! Sweet Yard, Pet Friendly
Had a nice comfy stay, would book again. Thanks for having us!

Casita (guesthouse)-King Bed
We love staying at Johnnie’s! It is the perfect place for us to stop for the night on our road trip with our pup. So peaceful and a lovely neighborhood. The accommodations and everything is always fabulous.

Guesthouse Poolside Suite 700sf 1 BR/2 Full BA/LR
One of the best air bnb experiences I have had. Couldn’t think of anything that could have made our experience better. The host have nailed this one!

Charming Guest House with 2 Private Courtyards
Wendy and Mark’s place was cozy and exactly what we needed for our weekend stay. Would recommend to anyone!

Palm Desert Casita
I had a wonderful stay! The place was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and in a great location. The host was communicative and made check-in super easy. I really appreciated the thoughtful touches that made the space feel welcoming and comfortable. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others. Thanks for a great experience!

My Guest House
Maria's guest house was a great home base during our adventures to Joshua Tree National Park. The house is easy to get to and is close to the park entrance as well as restaurants and other attractions in the nearby towns. The house itself is comfortable and private.

Funky Downtown Escape: Pool/Hot Tub/Secret Door
We had an amazing time staying at the Funky Downtown Escape. The pool area was fantastic and it had everything we needed and more. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Meghan for being an exceptional host also.

Casita Ranchita Mountain Loft in Town
We absolutely loved our stay at Brittanny and Daniel’s charming cabin. The space is beautifully decorated with thoughtful details—like the retro fridge and stove, cozy nature-inspired touches, a great selection of books and board games, and a lovely, peaceful ambiance throughout. Everything was spotless, the bed was super comfortable, and the cabin had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. Brittanny was an amazing communicator from start to finish, making the whole experience seamless. We’d come back in a heartbeat!

Midcentury Guesthouse with Private Pool
We love Robert's place. We have stayed here two times. It's super clean, well stocked, located close to downtown and the airport- making it very convenient. We love the vibe of this fun and cozy getaway!

Casa Cielo - A Desert Oasis
We were looking for a getaway spot that was peaceful, clean, and well-maintained—a place where we could stay in and enjoy our surroundings. Jamir and Pricilla's place was just what we were looking for! Jamir was responsive and quick to communicate when work, such as pool cleaning or landscaping, needed to be done, which we understood and appreciated. The beautiful landscaped gardens enhanced the overall charm of the property, as we found ourselves spending most of our time outside, enjoying the pool and the tranquil surroundings of birds chirping and hummingbirds feeding. We can't wait to return again!

Guesthouse Modern Private Retreat
Bren's place was just as advertised. Private, well maintained, and the perfect amount of space for someone like me who was looking for a weekend getaway. Bren was communicative throughout. My flight got in later than expected and I had some trouble with the lock on the first night. While I can not fault Bren for not responding (it was late), by the time I woke up the next morning she had a solution and remained available to make sure I got in as soon as possible. I really appreciate that.

PS Central Studio-Cool Pool, Housekeeping C1
This was our second stay at this property and we, again, had a wonderful time. We thoroughly enjoyed waking up to birds chirping, enjoying a book and coffee by the pool, and spending the day relaxing in their peaceful getaway. The bed and linens are cozy and the hosts have thoughtful touches throughout such as a hand signed card, a variety of drinkware options, and plenty of ice in the freezer ready to go. Nelson and Ramon are extremely responsive and happy to provide local recommendations. We can't wait to return!

Cozy Hideaway
John’s place was accurately described. Super clean and cozy for two people and a dog, nice yard, and great location. Can’t wait to return!

Welcome to Desert Straw House!
This is absolutely my favorite AirBnB that I've ever been to - it truly felt like I was staying in a paradise! Thank you Lisha & Mark for being such lovely hosts.

Heaven!
I was in town for a 5 day conference and had SUCH a delightful and comfortable stay! The location was SUPREMELY convenient for me (just a 5 minute drive to the conference center and my go-to coffee spot), the space was incredibly spacious and clea - decorated with thought, intention, and comfort in mind - and I absolutely LOVED unwinding in the beautiful backyard at the end of the day. Overall, I highly recommend this spot to solo and coupled travelers alike! I will absolutely be booking again the next time I visit Palm Springs!
