Secluded location, amazing for solitude, stargazing and sunset strolls. AC was very strong- especially important during this heat wave. Thank you for hosting us, we really enjoyed our stay!
We loved staying here! The remote location was perfect for our getaway and the large fenced property was perfect for our dog to roam safely. Stargazing in the hot tub was spectacular! We would love to come back.
The property was stunning, magazine worthy. We loved the peace and quiet, the outdoor area was gorgeous. We used the hot tub and BBQ grill during our stay. Convenient to Joshua Tree National Park and stores/restaurants, but away from the crowd.
We enjoyed this place so much. It was quiet and peaceful. The home was well set up with a great kitchen area - nice to cook meals on our road trip. The hot tub worked well and was a great place to listen to the owls and coyotes in the evening and early morning hours. I would recommend this place and hope to return again on a road trip.
Loved this home! Very private and peaceful. We enjoyed the patio in the afternoon and evening after a day of hiking. Loved the records and record player. Bed was very comfortable. We used the firm one. Kitchen well-stocked with cookware,etc. would get a jeep for the long sandy road but were able to do it in and SUV slowly.
The house itself was clean and sparely decorated, which I liked. The hot tub got hot. I had everything I needed in the kitchen. The views were outstanding. It was a pleasure to have an onsite gallery!
Lara was a great hostess, with really good communication. Listen to her when she suggests to arrive during daylight; we took a wrong turn initially and luckily followed the white rocks to the house just before it was too dark to find our way! Great house, shower, hot tub, and gallery. Might I also recommend the Tiny Pony Club for dinner. A real find, all of it!
This delightful home provides a vision of desert life—expansive, wrap around views that seem to go on forever, the art and well chosen library of books, the handwoven textiles from desert cultures, the desert silence and the darkest night skies I’ve ever known. A ten minute walk from the door through open desert grasslands brings you to ancient rock formations in nearby hills. The house is clean, well equipped, comfortable beds, outdoor lounging and dining areas, and has its own small art gallery. We felt so at home and happy in our ten days here. The hostess is warm and responsive.
My husband and I stayed one night but wish we booked for the weekend. As first timers to Yucca Valley we wanted star gazing and tranquility, this property was perfect! It also had a beautiful decor, comfortable beds and a well appointed backyard. Will definitely stay again!
Our stay was very enjoyable! Looks just like the photos. The hot tub and star gazing was amazing after a long day hiking in the park. We arrived at night due to timing of our trip and it was very challenging to navigate the road leading up to the house, so agree that it’s best to arrive during the during the sunlight hours if you can. Definitely recommend a car with four wheel drive. I would recommend others to stay here!
We had a great weekend stay at this beautiful little place among the Joshua Trees. Star gazing in the hot tub and sitting by the fire were definitely highlights. Hosts were thoughtful and responsive. Overall a great stay
We really enjoyed our stay at the Ocotillo. Highlights for us were star gazing, sunrises, and the comfortable beds. The Joshua Trees on the property and in the surrounding area are great too. There are washboarded dirt roads required to get to the property, but we didn't have any difficulty with them in an AWD sedan.
The property is located a mile down a dirt road (we were able to easily navigate in sedans), which offers the perfect balance of seclusion and access to the park and nightlife of Joshua Tree. The home was thoughtfully furnished and the hot tub overlooking the landscape was perfect. Would re-book in a heartbeat!
