The location was perfect for visiting Joshua Tree and for stargazing. The house & studio were comfortable, but the pool area was amazing! After hiking in the hot park, the outdoor space and pool were wonderful for relaxing in. We ended up cooking in both nights because we were so comfortable lounging by the pool and enjoying being outside.
Our only complaint was that the owner kept on coming into the pool courtyard area with his two dogs. One of the dogs peed on our bedroom rug. We had rented both units, so we thought we would have privacy. But the owner kept coming in...at least a dozen times in the afternoon, which was very strange. He did not knock when he entered. We were gone all morning long, so if any maintenance needed to be done it could have been accomplished when we were away.
If we did not have this unwelcome intrusion, I would have given a 5 star review.
