Stayed in Wandaland on our weekend visit to Joshua Tree, and she was the best! Lauren + Shawn were wonderful hosts. Would definitely stay there again in the future.

AMAZING place to stay for an affordable price. I first thought it was going to be a little far from the Joshua Tree park but it actually didn't take very long and was easy to get to daily. This made my girlfriend and I interested in buying our own Airstream.

Our stay at Wanda was super fantastic. I would absolutely recommend this little airstream stay for any adventure enthusiast or anyone with a love for vintage swag or even for a quiet, peaceful getaway. Two big fat thumbs up, thanks Lauren and Shawn!

Very cute & comfy place to stay! Felt like I took a trip back to the 70's, it's a very authentic air stream. The pictures & description are accurate. My husband and I had a great time exploring the area (Joshua Tree, Pioneer Town, Yuca Valley) and also just relaxing in the RV! I would definitely recommend staying here.

Great location for visiting Joshua Tree, the Noah Purifoy foundation and getting immersed in the desert experience. Being from England we jumped at the chance to spend a night in an Airsteam and it was fascinating.

Wanda is an incredible experience all around. She has a cozy, vintage feel that's great after a day of exploring. The record player is an awesome bonus and the bed is the best thing i've ever slept on. Definitely also go to the village food mart and deli they have everything you'll need, the food is amazing and the people there are super sweet. Can't wait to come back!

Wandaland is wonderful, the perfect location from which to visit the utterly otherworldly Joshua Tree National Park. My daughter and I stayed just the one night, we found Wanda spotless and completely charming, and our brief stay was the highlight of our road trip from LA to SF.

Our stay at WandaLand was great! Lauren and Shawn were super friendly and helpful, and patient with all our questions and requests. Our favorite part of our stay was hanging out by the fire in Wanda's yard. Also, Joshua Tree National Park is a 30min drive away and well worth a day of hiking. Tips for food: if you're planning to eat out, plan on a 10 - 20 minute drive; if you're planning to stay in and cook, depending on your meal, you may need to bring your own pots/pans - Wanda has one frying pan, one small sauce pot, and plenty of everything else. The desert was the perfect quiet escape! Thanks again Lauren and Shawn!

June is a great host!! She responds very quickly and is very accommodating. She got us a grill and fine tables and chairs for our stay. The teepee is so awesome!! This location is close to gas stations and a little mini mart. We definitely appreciated the hot water in the trailer because it got really cold at night.

Me and two friends of mine came out for a spring break getaway and the trip did just the thing! We had a great time and June and Bob were both very friendly and helpful throughout.

Such a great escape. I can't wait to come back!

This was an awesome teepee! I stayed for 3 nights with my partner and we had a blast! The hosts were awesome too!

Linda took great care of us and was very responsive. The place was in a beautiful location, very bright and cozy, with a great view over the area and a typical Joshua Tree landscape. Would recommend!

This place is amazing..the perfect view and the room is very clean. The hot tub is near the house and great by sunset. Linda was also a lovely host....we had a nice chat. Thank you Linda.

Stay was nice and relaxing! Just as expected. Linda provides a lovely atmosphere. We'd love to stay again!

I loved staying at this little bungalow! It has an amazing views and the hot tub is a dream! Thank you Linda!

The space and Linda were both wonderful. It was exactly the relaxing getaway we needed and we'd definitely return again.

Peaceful is an understatement when it comes to not only the bungalow but also Linda. I stayed alone and felt safe the entire time, even at night. The bungalow was clean with everything I could have asked for- even a wine opener:) I'll definitely be back. In fact, I can't wait!

I had a great weekend on the ranch. Linda was an excellent host from the moment I first booked the trip. She answered all of my questions in a timely fashion (and I had many!) and was kind and helpful throughout my stay! The bungalow was gorgeous- it is definitely secluded and relaxing. My favorite part was the hot tub (the stars at night are incredible!). Linda also helped me to book a massage on the ranch which I HIGHLY recommend to anyone who stays! It was fabulous and worth every penny. This is a great weekend getaway spot for anyone who wants to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city!

Small bungalow is as advertised - quiet, remote, basic, clean. A little desert cabin. Cool night breezes made sleeping comfortable. Enjoyed waking up to the view and beautiful sunrises accompanied by birdsong. Short visit - didn't spend many daylight hours there nor had time to test out the hot tub or local hiking trails.

The place was great! Clean, cute and so comfy! We arrived with the place set at a cool 74 degrees. A nice reprieve from the desert heat. I really appreciated how Bianca called us to make sure all was ok and we got in without issue. There was a minor glitch with the hot water and she offered her dad to come and check within 30 min. We had a nice stay.

The owners here are awesome! We we're looking for a place late night coming back from Big Bear with two dogs at 830 pm. They returned our message promptly and were on top of it with excellent service. The place was very clean very fresh and everything was prepared for our stay. Large backyard for your dog to run, especially after being coped up for the long drive. It has cement floors which is a plus and its well insulated and in a quiet neighborhood. I would definitely recommend this rental for your future stay.

A very nice, spacy and clean house! Fast and good communication and we were able to check in earlier because we were already there. The offered a stay and play for our baby and we were able to do the laundry. We really loved this place and would surely recommend it to everyone!

Everything was perfect, from the host, to the house to the communication! The house was gorgeous. There was even some basic food provided, like coffee, cereal, milk, jam, fruits... It was also very clean! Great experience, definitely would go there again! :)

Great experience! will book again when in the area.

Bianca was so kind to leave us a key in a secure place as we did not know at what time we would be arriving from our desert adventures. We stayed one night and the house was equipped with everything we needed! We loved the little town of Morongo Valley and enjoyed seeing snow falling on the Jacinta mountain range. We felt really comfortable and will definitely come back! Thanks so much Bianca and mother Miriam. Staying at your place with your flexibility made our trip so nice, and we felt like we were coming home when we arrived at the house. Thanks again! 5 stars from us!

This is a really nice place. The host is really nice and considerate.

We had truly enjoyed staying at this property. A perfect stay between Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs. Thanks to Bianca and Miriam!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Paul and Cathy's C Bar C Bunkhouse! Their location in the Morongo Valley is a great jumping point for visiting Joshua Tree, Indian Canyons, the Salton Sea, Palm Springs and more. The Bunkhouse is cozy and we relaxed each night on the patio and then in front of the fireplace! Learning that Paul had built many of the features in the house - cabinets, tables, etc added to the charm. Paul and Cathy were great hosts and provided great suggestions for us for food and fun in the area.

Paul and Cathy were an amazing host and wonderful people! I travelled with my wife and my parents visiting from Barcelona on a road trip. We spent only one night and part of the day with them and we were amaze with the warm welcome and the house. Everything was perfect and we highly recommend to book this place. They've done an amazing job with the house and you feel at home just when you step in. They pay attention to every detail and they also provided some home made cookies when we left that we really enjoyed. We only regret not to stay longer. The location is convinient if you want to enjoy Joshua Tree and Morongo Valley. And perfect as a retreat to enjoy nature. There is something special about this place. You can't go wrong if you book here.

Awesome place, quiet and beautiful

The place was actually nicer than we expected. Paul and Cathy built it themselves and they did a nice job with quality materials. I stayed with my sister and her family and there was plenty of room. The kids (6 and 9) had a blast just running around the property and visiting with their horses. Only disappointment was I hadn't realised they have an outdoor grill for you to use! Next time I'll remember! It is a little further than the hotels in Twentynine Palms in terms of getting to Joshua Tree, but I was MUCH happier staying in a nice place than at a crappy hotel. Definitely recommend!

This place has great private location with very kind and friendly host Paul. There is huge amount of space outside to do bbq, or to walk around with one of grestest view. Once you get inside everything gets better. Its new and very clean please with enough amenities. This place will not disappoint anyone and looks actually much better in person than photo. Definitely recommend this place if your visiting Joshua Tree.

Such a special place. Waking up to the mountain view and seeing the sunset over the mountains was gorgeous. Great way to be near Joshua Tree but have you own private romantic and cozy getaway. Our favorite surprise was the great hiking trail we could hop on right from the end of the driveway! House was really clean and cozy--rustic cabiny feel but with all modern amenities.

Delightful!

Cute, cozy and quiet house! Beautiful views of the mountain horizon and sunrise/sunset. Paul and Kathy are more than welcoming and available for any needs as they are just next door. The ranch makes for a relaxing outdoor getaway and only about a 20 minute ride to Joshua Tree.

A great place to unwind after some hiking. The space was ideal! Next time we will stay longer than one night. Donna made us feel welcomed, she's a great hostess!

Lovely experience with a lovely host. We enjoyed our time away from it all at Donna's Cabin in Morongo Valley.

Donna was absolutely the most gracious and accommodating host. It was very pleasant to meet her and talk to her. The cabin it self is very well put together; from its location to its positive aura. Very relaxing and comfortable get away for anyone of any kind. Very close to the Morongo Preserve which is beautiful and not to mention the wonderful Joshua Tree. I would most definitely be coming back. The natural spring water was a treat, the outside tub and hot tub were definitely a major plus and not to mention the cozy fireplace.

Donna's place is magical! Really secluded and quiet with amazing views. Also very close to Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, and Morongo Preserve.

Donna's place is fantastic - great view and great hot tub. She was very helpful the before, during, and after the stay. Would definitely visit again!

Donna was amazing and super helpful. Charming epic beautiful quaint cozy sanctuary to relax and let go, with breathtaking awe inspiring life changing views amongst the desert brilliant landscape. Sunrise sunset star gazing hot tub sessions were magical beyond comprehension. Highly recommended!!

It was the perfect getaway! The view was absolutely amazing - the photos do not even do it justice. My boyfriend and I definitely plan to come back. Highly recommend!!

Donna was so warm and welcoming. She met us shortly after our arrival and shared with us some of her delicious peaches, gave us a run down of the place, and truly welcomed us to the cottage. The place is a gem atop a hill with expansive views of the valley; the ultimate private getaway. It's remote, so you get to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature right outside your door. Because you are at the top of a hit in a remote location, it is expected that you'll come across the usual critters one can expect, but nothing we couldn't handle.

My Husband and I stayed at Otters place as we wanted to spend some time hiking in Joshua Tree and exploring the surrounding area. It's in a great spot to do this. 'Off the grid' and 'Camping in a house' is the perfect way to describe our experience! We loved it. Coming from NYC we were completely inspired by the space and view across to the mountains. Denise, Otters daughter met us at the local garage and we followed her in our car to the cabin. All communication and guidance was more than helpful. All in all it was a fantastic experience!

Otter's place was perfect! It has an incredible view and is secluded. Everything you need for a romantic getaway or just any stay away from the city. Extremely close to Joshua tree. Overall, I was extremely happy with my stay.

I loved staying in this rustic cabin. The sunsets were gorgeous and the fireplace kept it nice and warm

We had an amazing time at Otter's lodge. We were warm & with a good fire, the lodge is in a stunning spot with lots of privacy and amazing stars, and we had everything we needed. Otter's directions were super easy to follow and the space was a great base from which to do some hiking, some working, and some relaxing. I'd come back here for sure!!

A magical refuge under the stars.

Great place. I'll be back.

Otters little cabin is in a really beautiful place in the Morongo Valley. Though its very rustic, for the price it was a great place to stay near Joshua Tree. There is a workable fireplace and water, though unclear about how to use the shower. Would definitely recommend!

Otter was a lovely host and did everything she could to make us feel comfortable and welcome. It is indeed as she says, camping in a house, but by house I would say it was more like a (really) cosy cabin without running water. I don't think it was mentioned in her ad, but there's no shower, not by the conventional sense anyway. That aside, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, especially the fireplace, crossword puzzles, and incredible nighttime views. Otter's place is about 30 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a memorable experience.

Leslie's cottage oasis was a perfect retreat! It was quiet, clean, and the surroundings were beautiful. Although I did not get a chance to meet Leslie, she made provided clear instructions and a helpful guide for things to do in the area. Great location, I'd definitely stay again!

Great communication. Great stay. Highly recommended.

Leslie is a fantastic host. Prompt and kind and there for any questions i had.

We've experienced several Airbnb's from Morongo Valley to Joshua Tree; this is the one we return to. The respect Leslie holds for land, dwelling, and guests is palpable. There is also integrity in advertising and pricing. My husband & I thoroughly enjoy the beauty, privacy, & quiet of Peaceful Garden Oasis, and feel wonderfully cared for. Altho we have yet to meet Leslie in person, ours is an experience of mutual respect between guest and host - Airbnb at it's finest.

The perfect place for a weekend trip to relax. It's legit a garden tucked into the mountains. Super close to Joshua Tree & Palm Springs.

This place is so lovely and perfect. My boyfriend and I had the best time here. We love how cozy the cottage is. It felt like we were in our own world. It has a full kitchen with all the basic tools and a grill in the back. We took advantage of that and we also enjoyed the outdoor tub. The views and surroundings are beautiful. We would definitely love to stay here again.

The cottage was so peaceful and comfortable. Everything is fully stocked in the kitchen. You literally just need to bring food. The grounds itself is very nice as well. It's the perfect getaway from the city life. Make sure to check out the little garden with fountains!

What a lovely adventure to turn down a dirt road in the desert to discover Leslie's little oasis! The guest house is large, immaculately kept and surrounded with greenery. I didn't read closely enough, so I thought that maybe "mineral baths" meant that there was some hot spring squirreled away somewhere, and found that in fact the "bath" is a charming claw-foot tub in back of the guesthouse in its own private garden. All in all, a lovely place, a lovely time had. Thank you Leslie!

A magical place to get away from it all and still be able to drive over to J Tree everyday!

Absolutely gorgeous! Whitney was extremely helpful and accommodating.

The place is a little further back off the main road than the directions make it seem which I was happy about because it's more secluded and literally in the middle of a private valley. I'm happy we arrived during the daylight because I feel like it woulI have been really difficult to find in the dark. The Aphrodite cottage was great for two people and came with everything you'd need for a getaway besides food. Being in a desert valley bugs are to be expected so if you're like me and bugs are especially attracted to you I'd suggest to bring some bug spray because I got a few mosquito bites. The pool views are beautiful and even better in real life than in the pictures. There are also some sweet horses on the grounds so that was a nice treat! Wi-Fi and cellphone service were basically non existent so if you're someone who is attached to your phone or you need to get work done then this isn't the place for you. If you're looking to get off the grid and relax surrounded by beautiful scenery then this Airbnb will be perfect! Whitney was a great host and we're hoping to come back again in the future!

What a Gem of a place . It's so secluded , and Quiet . Unit was fully functional with everything you can need . Just the sounds of nature to enjoy every evening and endless stars. The unit was super clean and cozy , Whitney was so helpful in every regard & edited our reservation last minute too . Wish we could have stayed longer !! They are starting horse rising soon as well , so if ur a horse lover - u will enjoy the horses

Whitney place looks just like the pictures! Everything was super clean and the bathroom was stocked with fresh towels! The AC was also perfect for the warm days that we stayed. Our host was super easy to get in contact with, which my boyfriend and I were thankful for. Also checking in & out was also a breeze. The only thing we disliked was that it was difficult to get service there, which was expected because of the location. Still, we would definitely book with Whitney again in the future (:

My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to rent near Joshua Tree and we came across this gem. Not only is Whitney a wonderful host but the property this little cottage sits upon is fantastic! The cottage is perfect for two, cozy, clean and you get to wake up with the most fabulous canyon views. Couldn't really ask for a better experience this trip. Thanks again Whitney for making our trip very memorable.

Secluded down a long dirt road. Bring your trail runners or boots because you can scramble up to about every peak you see. Studio is perfectly sized for two. Great for a romantic weekend with lots of sun and little cell reception. High enough elevation to not use AC in early April.

Hidden Passage is one of the most beautifully located airbnbs I've ever stayed at. Whitney was so helpful, and went out of her way to be a great host. Can't recommend highly enough.

I am reluctant to full-on rave about this place. I want to keep it secret so that I have the greatest place to stay at whenever I head out to the desert. You will have your own mountain. Amazing views from just about everywhere on the property. The house itself is spacious, iconic mid-century style with a desert flare. You'll have your own bathroom if just two people. Kitchen had everything you need to have some meals in. Clean fridge. Although no microwave, there was a full size electric stove. I crashed on the pull out couch. It was fine. My friend used the bedroom. Said it was great. We went there to write music, it was perfect. Singing and playing with no worries of disturbing anyone, late in the night. 20 minutes to Joshua Tree, Pappy and Harriets....If you're planning a trip to the desert, you cannot do better.

The view from the mountain side with no neighbors every morning was a treat! The house is clean & funky cool. Loved staying here!

Simone was a terrific host, provided everything we needed and her place looks just like the photos. The location is isolated, yet super close to JT. The open floorplan kept the breeze flowing all day and night so we never had to turn on the A/C. The view of Mt San Jacinto lit up by the rising sun was the perfect setting as we sipped our morning coffee. Looking forward to staying here the next time we head to the desert.

I had a great time at Simone's house. The decor and location were exactly what I was looking for. She was also very helpful with directions for the house and recommendations for the area

Beautiful, beautiful home nestled in the hills. A gem! Private and secluded, yet just a short drive from the highway. Close to Joshua Tree and Palm Springs, but a world away from our day-to-day world. The home's unique architecture, furnishings and decor are endlessly engaging. The vast views of the valley and hills are amazing. The various birds (road runners, hawks, and tiny jays I couldn't identify) and desert plants are welcome neighbors. A wonderful place to get away from the city. Simone is a gracious host. Very responsive yet non-intrusive. She is just a text or call away. You will quickly feel at home here. You can hike the hills starting right from the backyard. And at nights it's a stargazer's dream. Just sit on the front patio and stare up. Thanks Simone. We'll be back soon!

Everything was perfect! Simone was so friendly and helpful and her home was breathtaking. I love this place! I look forward to hopefully returning with friends and family in the future. So many positive vibes, such a slice of paradise. Thank you so much, Simone!

The house was exactly as pictured in the listing - clean, modern, but cozy, artistic decor and great views from every window. The three of us enjoyed our stay and found the house very comfortable and well-equipped. There is some road noise (even though the house is perched high up in the hills, away from the road), but it didn't really bother us. Overall, great experience! Thanks, Simone for sharing your beautiful house.

Simone's place is absolutely spectacular. Not only is the home and location gorgeous but it's beautifully decorated as well. The location is perfect as it's very private and removed yet everything in the area is very accessible - Joshua Tree, Palm Springs etc... the view is absolutely amazing and photos can't do it justice. Sitting outside eating breakfast every morning was heaven. Simone is awesome as well. The whole process was easy and friendly and she's very helpful. We would go back any time!

Petra's place was lovely! Nice, peaceful, quiet stay and comfortable bed. It had everything we needed - complete with fresh eggs! Thank you again - we enjoyed it!

Something about that porch..

The house is spacious and comfortable for 2 people, great layout. Love the location, close to restaurants in Yucca Valley for dinner, Joshua Tree, and an easy drive to Palm Springs. We will definitely be coming back here for weekend trips to the desert!

The Little White House is quaint and welcoming. We had the best time escaping from the buzzing city life for a weekend away. The porch was definitely our favorite part--such a lovely way to take in the quite surroundings. Thank you Petra for a wonderful time!

This is a wonderful place! My sister and I stayed here while visiting Joshua Tree National Park. The interior is super cozy and cute, perfect for a peaceful getaway. All amenities were comfortable, and the kitchen/coffee maker was a huge plus.

Wonderful stay at the Little White House. Petra was so accommodating, and even has the fire pit ready for us - we loved it! The mattress was so comfortable, the linens were soft and amazing water pressure. And of course the location was fantastic - 25min to Joshua Tree and 40 to Plam Springs. Would certainly return!

Petra made us feel so welcome! Fresh eggs, warm space heaters, snacks and travel-sized toiletries aside, the front porch looking out over the mountains and the fully fenced-in yard for the puppies to play made it, bar none, the best Airbnb we've stayed in. 20 minutes to Joshua Tree National Park in one direction, 20 minutes to Palm Springs in the other - perfectly located. What a wonderful spot!

The LWH was perfect for our weekend stay. It was clean and well stocked with kitchen and bathroom supplies, snacks, and travel information. Petra was so sweet to leave the heater on when we arrived late in the evening and fresh eggs from her chickens in the refrigerator.

Jacklyn is an incredible host and she has an absolutely beautiful property. We cannot recommend staying here enough. The Carriage house is very comfortable and you will be hard pressed to find somewhere else with such a fantastic view of the stars every night! Definitely take the opportunity to go on a horseback ride with her - she'll teach you about the horses and the special desert land around her. We also loved the proximity to Joshua Tree, we were able to get in some great hikes - the drive is not very far at all.

Crazy Horse Ranch Carriage was fantastic! What Jacklyn has created is really inspiring. The location makes you feel a million miles from civilisation, but is perfectly situated between Joshua Tree and Palm Springs. Everything about this accommodation was top knotch!

When I arrived, Jacklyn was there to greet me and to show me to the carriage house that I had booked. Everything was as described and the place was clean, well appointed and comfortable. She also answered all my questions about her horses and other animals and I was free to roam around the ranch as long as I did not enter the holding pens. Her horses were beautiful and well tended and Apollo was a delight to meet and interact with. The ranch was a lovely place and I would recommend that you also book a stay there. Even though I couldn't bring myself to actually try to ride a horse in the end, I felt that if anyone could help me to eventually do so, it might be Jacklyn.

Our week-end at Crazy horse ranch was a perfect adventure to start 2016. If you planned to stay in the desert near Palm Springs, this is where you must stay! Jacklyn is a lovely host and a great cook. Our little cabine was very cosy, and the ranch is a peaceful and quiet place to stay. Every morning we had breakfast with Jacklyn, who found the time to make this wonderful banane bread and delicious scrumble eggs. We booked a BBQ before our arrival, so we had this great dinner the first night : ribs with vegetables and potatoes. Also brownies with ice cream for dessert. Everything was homemade. We also took a one hour private trail ride into the desert. Jacklyn gave us time, explanations. She's really passionate and it was a pleasure to learn from her.

This location is an excellent option for anyone wanting to ride horses, especially if you appreciate humane conditions and treatment of animals, as well as the opportunity to learn "Natural Horsemanship" or "Horse Whispering." Jacklyn is an excellent instructor who provides freedom in your horse-riding experience. Prior to this trip, I had less than 10 hours on a horse, having only done a few "trail rides" while on vacation in various countries. In those past experiences, I was thoroughly bored with staying in a straight line while my horse blindly follows the horse in front. I was ready to feel adventure, excitement, freedom and control of my horse. I rode for about 6 or 7 hours in the several days that I was at Crazy Horse Ranch, and that is exactly what I got. Jacklyn coached me how to maneuver my horse, Webster, around various bushes and other obstacles, how to encourage him to remain still where I intended, and she coached me to ride beside her (rather than behind her), as well as to make my own trail as we rode. Most of my time was spent walking and trotting, and as my skill improved, Jacklyn made arrangements to go to a location where we could gallop. I literally laughed out loud, it was exhilarating. Jacklyn is also a great reference for anyone thinking that they may want their own horse in the future. She can help you "adopt" a horse, and consult beyond the usual. Again, "Natural Horsemanship" being a valuable difference in this experience.

We had a wonderful time at the Crazy Horse Ranch. Jacklyn is a great host, we enjoyed the tasty breakfast at her house. The horse trail through the valley was amazing. This place is a an amazing hideaway with lots of great animals. Pearl is super cute and the other cats, dogs and horses are friendly as well. This two days stay was really relaxing for us and we hope to come back someday to visit this unique place again.

We really enjoyed our stay on Jacklyn's ranch. It's clear that she takes proper care of her horses, many of which were rescue horses but are now in great health. The carriage house where we stayed was exactly as pictured, and, if you like dogs, the seven we met on the ranch (5 german shepherds and two shepherd rottweilers) are awesome. Recommended.

Jacklyn was great! The place was easy enough to find, and exaclty what was described in the listing. We stayed at the carriage house, and it was very clean, well decorated and had everything necessary for a good and comfortable stay.

Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a cosy glamping option in the high desert. Shari has done a great job with the space and there's an additional small shed for bathroom facilities - all very clean, creative and cool. We'd a rare overcast night so missed out on stargazing but the scenery in the area is amazing. Thanks Sheri!

The reservation was canceled 13 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Shari is an overwhelmingly kind person, which was evident in every aspect of our interactions with her. The airstream is adorable and quirky and has lots of little details that make time there unique and enchanted. We were welcomed with fresh juice, woke up to French Toast and left feeling like we had made a new friend.

Shari's desert oasis was the perfect get away from the city and it was exactly what we were looking for. The airstream and property was quant and meticulously ornamented with Shari's personality. There was a heat wave during our 4 day stay and Shari did her best to make us comfortable while we were at the property during the mid-afternoon. One of our favorite highlights was the water mister she installed above the swing. We sat there for hours relaxing and drinking cold beer while the mister kept us cool. Shari's hospitality was over the top and she was kind enough to offer up some of her morning green smoothie mix, which we fell in love with! The airstream is spacious and the property is quiet and secluded enough to feel like you are alone in the desert. The evening skies are amazing and she has an outdoor bed that is perfect for star gazing... or sleeping! We're looking forward to staying with Shari again in the wintertime!

We basically failed in making our host feel welcome, as our stay there was a little unorthodox, but I hope we were able to clean up any mess we may have made in the dark... Thank you Shari!

Life in the Slow Lane was great! Shari greeted us upon arrival and showed us all around this cheerful, quirky property. It was very hot while we were here, but the Airstream was actually pretty comfortable in the evening with the windows open and the fan on. Shari also has set up a mister over a porch swing which made the heat much more bearable. We had so much fun staying here and Shari was so friendly, she even shared some of her delicious homemade crackers with us! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to relax and live simply for a few days!

Staying in Shari's airstream was a magical experience, and Shari was a gracious host who went out of her way to ensure that I was warm and well-fed. Thanks Shari!

Shari was an awesome host with awesome property! I love that she was prompt with every message and question. We stayed in her airstream trailer for one night and had such a blast exploring the area--not to mention, there are millions of super cool photo opps. We loved the swinging bench, her outdoor star-gazing bed, the two beat (but charming) sofas around her small firepit. It was perfect for a group of four girls, and only 20 minutes away from Joshua Tree. It was a perfect getaway!

Look no further. Staying at Gary and Marianne's beautiful, peaceful desert oasis is an absolute MUST. What makes this Air B&B experience particularly stand out? 1) The hospitality is hands down the best you will every receive...Prior to arriving, I let my hosts know that I had recently gone through a breakup and needed a place to unwind and relax. Gary and Marianne were immensely attentive to my needs and respected me and my friend's space when we decided to go explore on our own but were so gracious and warm when we wanted to stay in for some chit chatting. You can tell from the get-go that the two of them are just solid, loving, and kind people. When my friend and I got back from dinner, they had a tray of freshly baked cookies and a piping hot thermos and tea laid out for us to enjoy. Not to mention, there was always the freshest, yummiest water waiting in the kitchen from their own underground well with slices of fruit and garnishes tossed in :) 2) The sunset & stargazing... is beyond measurable value. If you're looking for a tranquil place to find solitude and enjoy natural beauty, this is it. My friend and I sat in the hot tub and looked up at the stars with the fire pit crackling nearby (Marianne went above and beyond - coming out without us even needing to ask and lighting the fire pit for us even though they had already settled in for the night). 3) The most delicious and thoughtfully prepared breakfast ... my friend was gluten-free and couldn't do dairy so Marianne cooked up such a delicious feast that fit her dietary constraints and still provided so many non-restricted options for me to choose from. The standard continental breakfasts you get in hotels can't even hold a candlestick to Marianne's breakfast. 4) The sweet & gentle animals on the property ... added so much warmth, calmness, and love to the overall experience. Fun fact, all of the animals have lived much longer than what's expected of their age and that's because they are just plain, happy. 5) The hospitality is hands down the best. Yes, I know I said it twice. Because it's THAT good. You will not be disappointed. My only regret is that I didn't stay longer which is something I'll fix in the near future. Marianne and Gary - Kudos to you. If I could give you ten stars, I absolutely would!

Oh my gosh, there are not enough wonderful words in the world with which to describe the incredible experience that my boyfriend and I had while staying with Marianne and Gary for NYE this year! We left seriously contemplating how we could go about buying their home, but soon realized that what makes it so truly special are Marianne, Gary and their incredible pets! I did not want to leave and would go back in a heartbeat! They were so incredibly wonderful, warm and endlessly kind. We were greeted with hugs, homemade cookies, and spent our NYE in the hot tub under the stars. The photos on the site do no do this gorgeous property justice! The bathroom is the size of a large bedroom! The grounds are gorgeous! Breakfast was divine. The warmth and conversations without equal! The home itself has so much heart and soul put into it, and this feeling of love and devotion reverberated throughout our entire stay. It was such a joy to way up New Year's Day and go outside on the deck into the sun, to look at the stellar views and then have tea while engaged in heartwarming conversations! I wanted to steal their cats, they were both so awesome. Their dog is so incredible friendly, and their horses are majestic. I can't wait to go back!

I loved staying at Gary and Marianne's place, it was an amazing weekend..the couple are very hospital and the rooms were very clean and classy.. it was so relaxing around and loved the whole thing.. will definitely be back!!

The best airbnb ever for me

Gary and Marianne were more than welcoming when we arrived. A beautiful couple with a warm inviting home. The room was set up with snacks and water (loved the pellegrino :D). Very comfortable and enjoyable stay!

We arrived at this absolutely beautiful desert home as guests and strangers, and two days later we felt as if we were saying goodbye to family. Being from Georgia where the weather is mild and rainfall is plentiful, we were eager to experience the desert; we were certainly not disappointed. We were a short drive from both the excitement of Palm Springs and from the solitary beauty of Joshua Tree NP. Enjoying scrumptious breakfasts while overlooking miles of beautiful desert mountains and snacking on homemade evening treats were only upstaged by the graciousness of Marianne and Gary as they did everything they could to make us feel at home. Their friendly dogs and horses greeted us each morning as we had coffee on the patio, and coyotes serenaded us (encouraged by Gary’s howls!) as we sat out after dark. But mostly it was the warmth of our hosts that made this a weekend that we will never forget. This place is certainly on our short list of places to which we hope to return soon.

Staying with Marianne and Gary has been the best AirBnB experience I ever had. Marianne welcomed me each morning with the most creative and abundant breakfasts. Everything was meticulously clean, and anything I wanted to know, Marianne helped me with. All the pets (dogs, cats, and horses) were really sweet and easy-going, and I loved having them around me. The house is located in an oasis of quietness, and I felt like a princess in their gorgeous bathroom. On the property you'll find all kinds of cool vintage items, such as a 60's car, one of those cool silver trailers, cute little sheds etc. Oh, and I almost forgot the hot tub, from which you can look at the stars at night! What a wonderful place.

Marianne and her husband were super friendly and very accommodating. I have to copy some comment about their lovely house for I cannot describe it by any other words: “From the moment we walked into the beautiful house we were amazed. The rooms were so large, clean, the bathroom was such a dream spa!! I loved how if I was thirsty I did not have to ask because they already put waters, teas, coffee in the kitchen.” After our wonderful breakfast, we went to feed the horse, my little son even ride one of them.We would definitely come back and stay with them again if we have another visit to SFO.

I appreciate that Soodie was able to accommodate at short notice and late at night. The place was clean and comfy for a good night's rest before getting on the road. You receive a lock with a key for your room. The host was attentive to our needs as well.

We loved this house for its amazing views on the desert, the cozy fireplace and the sunny porch !

We spent NYE at the ranch and it was amazing! The reality is better than the pictures. So beautiful and quite if you are looking for a peaceful trip. We were so happy and we took beautiful pictures. David was quick answering our questions and always nice and easy. Thanks so much, we loved it <3

Location, location, location!

it's perfect, it was a total mojave daydream and I couldn't recommend it more! will keep in mind for future visits

Great place to stay, very well fitted out with everything we could possibly need. The fire was already built ready to go. Highly recommended to others.

My wife and I had a great stay here. The location allowed us to easily explore both Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park. The house was clean and David provided us with some extra amenities and recommendations that made our stay very enjoyable. The real highlight for us was the location - we loved the views of the mountains and desert plants on the property in the early mornings.

Loved staying at David's house, the furniture was beautiful, mid-century, well thought out. Great book collection and lots of places to sit and hang out. The porch was very relaxing, I could have sat there for hours. Lots of cactus and flowers. Would recommend staying here! sunsets were beautiful.

David's place was awesome. The grounds were beautiful. House is a funky, eclectic work in progress, but very comfortable and secluded. Beds and linens provided were great!! Kitchen was stocked with everything you need to cook...olive oil, fresh milk, coffee, even butter and garlic. Plenty of water in the fridge and carbonated drinks. We were pleased with our stay.

A wonderful Valentines weekend at a unique getaway!

Beautiful ranch, great little getaway. Some of the happiest animals you'll meet. Galiena and her husband were great hosts, clearly know what they're doing.

Galiena and Gary are delightful people and they have an amazing ranch! We had such a nice time relaxing, star-gazing, and hearing their stories. We also loved meeting the sweet horses and some of the friendliest dogs we've ever met.

The most magical place and amazing hosts. They were so accommodating and made sure we were comfortable. Right from snacks in the room to restaurant recommendations they took care of us in every way. The friendliest hosts and the nicest people. Their place is a labor of love and very unique. We will come back in a heartbeat.

Galiena and Gary were fantastic hosts. The place was amazing and was a blast hanging with them and shoot some pool. The accommodations were very private and relaxing. Outdoor shower under stars and a view of the tree tops is to recommend for anyone wanting a get away. Don't even try an early check out because it's way to comfortable and you'll want that late morning :) Thank you /Sophie and Roy

really interesting spot ! feels like an adventure.

I had an amazing time! Though my friends live in the Hi-Desert when I saw Genuine Draft Ranch - Love Nest I had to book it. It's like Knotts Berry Farm but for adults and the Madonna Inn all in one. The attention to detail in everything at this ranch is amazing. There is nothing sweeter than hearing a donkey Hee-Haw in the morning and all of the animals here are amazing and friendly. If you're an animal lover then you will love this place. If you are not an animal person it is fine. They do not bother you. We actually went to the animals and hung out with Galena and Gary. The mod sweetest happiest couple who are so loving and welcoming. Best Airbnb experience every. King size bed is nice and comfy. There is a fridge if you want to bring a few things. There is coffee in the room and the bathtub is amazing! The deck is a lovely place to have your morning coffee or dinner. Perfect for couples get-a-way in the Hi-Desert. It is tucked away off the main road so bring some snacks to keep if you get the munchies later. Waking in the morning sipping coffee walking around with the owners was so much fun. I was lucky enough to have some homemade Bailey's Irish Cream with my coffee made by Galena and was taken in a WWII military jeep and given a tour of all of their amazing property. I stayed two nights and it was amazing! Coming back for sure!!! Pappy & Harriets is not to far, it is a tiny drive to the JTNP but worth it. Other great places to visit is Crossroads Cafe, Natural Sisters Cafe, Joshua Tree Saloon, Pie for the People & if you don't mind a drive head to 29 Palms Inn and dine there & walk around the grounds & visit the Oasis of Mara, a 9000 year old oasis once used by the Native American Indians to water their crops. And if you happen to be here on a Saturday or Sunday & want to go to a real dive bar head out to the flat lands of Wonder Valley and phone before you go The Palms Restaurant. Hours are weird there so phone first and head across the way from The Palms to Wonderland Books. A rad little book shop owned by the Sibley's (owners of the Palms)! Shopping head to The End (vintage), Ramble On Vintage,, Ricochet Vintage and Totally Blown…

This was by far, our favorite place to stay on our USA trip, a short drive to Joshua Tree, and the funnest, and sweetest lady, with the best bunch of animals, and then the love nest! Gorgeous accommodation and grounds! We got to hang with the cool kids! Xxx
