Desert Escape
Went there with my husband, 9 y/o daughter and 2 small dogs. Lots of outdoor space to wander about and allow the pups to roam (there is a tall fence around the entire property). You're right on the foothills of the mountain, so you need to listen out for coyotes.
We were able to entertain ourselves there: there's a nice deck by the pool, watched a movie on the big outdoor projector and hopped in the Jacuzzi. We had a few meals outside, too.
We were looking for a location pretty far away from the city, and we certainly got it. We usually only left the property one time per day. It's probably a 25-minute drive from this location to the far East entrance of Joshua Tree, which we visited for a few hours each day.
If you don't have four-wheel drive, you absolutely need to follow the directions that are provided, not Google maps. And if you can help it, it's best for you to arrive while there is still sunlight. We brought our own telescope, but there is also have one that you could use here. You may not even need it since the sky is so clear, we saw more shooting stars in the 4 days that we were there, then I have in 5 years in LA. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this location. If you want to disconnect and enjoy some real peace and quiet, this is the location for you.
We enjoyed our Thanksgiving holiday here. It was definitely a memorable location and would love to come back here.
