This place is magical! We had such an amazing time during our stay. From either star gazing, to local shopping, or exploring Joshua Tree national park - it was truly perfect. The house was another level! It was seriously breathtaking and the only complaint was we had to leave! This place was the best and the hosts matched that energy! Look no further, seriously book it today!
