Desert hideaway
Our stay was all we hoped it would be, and more. The house itself is beautiful, but the reason to rent this property is the location: embedded into the hills separating 29 Palms from the national park. The view is spectacular, and the house is isolated from its neighbors, giving guests the feeling of complete privacy.
I chose this property so my family could celebrate my wife's 70th birthday. I wanted to splurge a little, and provide her with something unique. Mission accomplished!
One thing to note (and to be honest it's something I should have anticipated): if you bring a pet to the location, keep in mind that this property is likely to have coyotes wandering nearby. My daughter's little dog got a bit freaked out when we tried to walk her near the house at night. We were able to work around this easily enough by trying to do our walks during the day, and venturing closer to town for evening walks. This is not a complaint, it's simply something that goes with the property's wild and beautiful location.
Last but not least: the property's host is terrific. She's available when you need her, and her rules are minimal. She also decorated the place with lovely Happy Birthday banners and balloons!
This place is highly recommended if you're looking for something special.
