This place is excellent, including its location, the views, and the details that are kept up throughout, which include timed outside lights, an expresso machine, great record player and sound, tons of spices and kitchen basics, and a strong AC system. Our family group of three had a great 5 days. The owner/manager is on top of things, checked in with us via email, and was a pleasure

Loved everything about our stay, with the minor exception of no lounge chairs were avaliable for the pool. We understand the owner was in the process of replacing the previous ones, but the photos show lounge chairs, and we didnt really have anywhere to sit and enjoy the pool. Otherwise, i cant say enough about the beautiful sunrises, and hiking out the back was perfect when we didnt want to go all the way into the Joshua Tree park

3 nights at Casa Altura

This property was perfect for our party of 4 (2 couples) while we visited Joshua Tree. No fighting over the best bedroom because they are both very similar, each with it’s own bathroom. The kitchen and living areas are spacious and light with large windows looking out over the desert. Loved the hot tub and pool too. And a convenient proximity to the National park. Best restaurant around was Kitchen in the Desert, 18 mins away. Great food and vibe. Would stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at Casa Altura. Eddie is an attentive host who makes sure you have all the information you need before arriving, and stays in touch during the trip if you have any questions or issues. He even left a bottle of wine for my wife's birthday.The house is in a prime spot with a great view, close proximity to restaurants/shops down the hill, and a quick drive to the park entrance. We loved it and will be coming back for sure!

An oasis in the Joshua Tree area

The property was just perfect for our visit to Joshua Tree! We spent two glorious nights enjoying Casa Altura. The views are spectacular, and the spa was perfect for soothing our tired bones after a day of hiking. Eddie was the most responsive host I have ever had for a vacation rental. If we ever find ourselves back in this area, I will definitely be booking this home.

Beautiful desert respite

This was our last stop on a week long road trip hiking at different national parks throughout Nevada, Utah and Arizona and it was a much needed respite! Such a lovely oasis in the desert, the views were great and the pool and hot tub were amazing! We took moonlight swims under the stars and early morning swims after watching the sunrise while sipping coffee. The kitchen was also super well stocked and cooking and eating a meal while watching the sunset was really special. I also enjoyed walking around the area behind the property looking at interesting plants and watching the bunnies and quail run around. The beds and pillows were really comfy, and we loved all the soaps and shampoos too. A wonderful stay!
