"We loved this place. The room was clean, the staff was helpful, the AC worked well. The pool was peaceful. My now fiancé proposed to me in the park then we came back to the resort and watched the stars. We could see the Milky Way from the property. 10/10 experience"

❤Retro 90s Vibe+Firepit+Hammocks❤

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at this property is one of the best stays we’ve had. Not only was it decorated in such a cute way, it was cozy and the perfect place to lay our head at night. The hot tub was so relaxing after a day of hiking and running around Joshua Tree. Watched the sun set from the swing chairs and it truly was beautiful. Would definitely come back to this property."
