Charming mid century modern apartment
This apartment is comfortably set up with all the amenities needed for a short or long stay. The location was perfect for going either to Joshua Tree or Mt San Jacinto or Palm Springs. I loved the mid century modern decor, probably because it triggered nostalgia for my youthful days. Pool was nice for cooling off.

a unique accommodation
The owner put considerable effort into restoring and enhancing the mid century modern decor down to the very small details. The courtyard was also lovely and the neighborhood was peaceful and relatively quiet. Although the heated pool and hot tub fee makes no sense considering it’s shared by 4 other guests, the pool was kept clean and was a pleasant feature. Fyi, this particular area can get very windy. The walls between units are very thin so expect to hear quite a bit from your neighbors. We pulled the throw rug back and discovered under the carpet had not been cleaned in some time which made us wonder how thorough the rest of the place was cleaned. Overall we had a memorable time and would recommend it to others.

"Mod-tastic"
This mid-century modern apt. has it all; great location and rates, amenities, spot -on whimsical, period interior design, and location in the NE Desert Hot Springs "spa zone". Quiet and relatively dark (for dark-sky enthusiasts), it's minutes from Joshua Tree Na. Pk. and Palm Springs. The host promptly notified us of belongings we left behind in time to retrieve them. Many thanks, Eric! We'll be back!

Great place!
Fabulous host, communication was perfect through the stay. He made sure we were comfortable and had all the things we needed. The apartment was absolutely adorable. The grounds were very well kept. When we come back to town this is where we will stay. Great for large groups, close to everything. Excellent price.

Clean, but weird location
The property was mid century modern and relatively true to the pictures. However, there were some things that seemed out of place - there were creepy children pictures over the sofa, and it felt like a revamped motel. It was also in the middle of no where. The property manager was easy to contact.

Great place to stay
We had a comfortable time. The apartment was a good space. Because we cooked, everything was there to do that.The location of the Getaway was great to travel to Joshua Tree National Park and then Palm Springs. Little problem with the plumbing, but that was getting fixed.

Easy Getaway
Eric was a great communicator beginning to end. He was available by text for anything from traffic predictions to spa recommendations. I left my glasses by the pool as we left which could have been disastrous - but because of swift phone calls between Eric the caretaker and Eric the manager, I was informed and able to to turn around on the freeway and drive back for them in time! The place was comfortable and a great base for three days of desert hiking in all directions. Hopefully, we will return some day!
