Charming Lakeside Cottage at Idyllic Desert Resort
we stayed here for about 2-3 days and it was perfect! definitely recommend 😊

Bright & Charming 1 Bedroom Cottage with lake view
I love going to Sky Valley and spending a relaxing weekend there. I’ve stayed at many of the different properties and this was as nice as any of them. It’s really only good for one or two people. The host were very responsive to the few questions I did have.

Serene Desert Retreat-Mineral Hot Springs Pools
The place is amazing and the wife and I couldn’t of asked for a better place to spend the holiday season. We loved its proximity to everything and it’s quite and peaceful setting. While there we went to the pools and the pickle ball courts which were fantastic and full of friendly people from the community.

Woodland Cottage- Mid Century Modern Beauty
The process checking in and out was smooth. The stay was peaceful. Precisely what I was looking for. The Colin’s were hospitable and polite.

Lovely Desert Resort Cottage with Amazing views!
Pictures do not do the property justice… beautiful place and much bigger than it appears in photos!

Woodland View Cottage
Cabin was great. The little park within the property was great for our little on to run around while we got in a game of ping pong. The cabin had everything we needed and the hosts were very warm and friendly.

Me and my kids had a great time staying at Sky Valley place. Very clean and beautiful house felt like home. Definitely coming back!!!!

Tam Cottage at 29P
The Tam house is a perfect place to land near Joshua tree National park. The gardens and home are so cute and the hot tub is so relaxing. We loved our stay and would highly recommend this home.

Josh Cottage at 29P
This was the perfect place to stay for our Joshua Tree National Park trip. It was close to the park's entrance so we could get in early and was a great place to come back to midday to re-charge, relax, and cool down a bit before heading back into the park. The backyard was private and peaceful, a great place to hang out in the evenings! It was also within walking distance to the visitor center and restaurants. Would highly recommend and would love to stay again!

Close to Park, 5 acres, Hot Tub
Great place to have a small getaway from the city! Would recommend for anyone to check out this place, incredibly cozy and welcoming!

Stagecoach Home! Perfect Weekend Getaway!
Had a great time relaxing and enjoying the amenities available here. Local community very friendly. Calm and relaxing vibes, very quiet when we were there… I guess it depends on what time of year to visit as it could get very busy here. Would love to visit once more and stay for the whole weekend.

Hidden Passage Zeus • 25 Magical Acres • Pool
Hidden Passage became our real home during our 4-day stay. The directions to find the location were extremely clear. The house was spacious, clean, with a stunning view from the kitchen/dining room + bbq setup is very nice. We worked remotely and never experienced any WiFi issues. We were also so happy that we could stay with our puppy! Diane is an amazing host and we can’t wait to return! side note: just 20 minutes drive from really nice dog friendly hikes 🐶

Joshua Tree Retreat - Views, Heated Pool, & More!
Staying at Nel’s Joshua Tree home was an absolute dream! The house was beautifully designed with thoughtful touches throughout — from cozy, stylish decor to a fully stocked kitchen and super comfortable beds. The outdoor space was the real highlight: peaceful desert views, a perfect spot for stargazing, and a relaxing hot tub to unwind in. Nel was an incredible host — responsive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. This home is the ideal mix of comfort, nature, and style. Can’t wait to come back!

Book 3 Nights, 4th Free! • 25 Magical Acres • Pool
What a magical place, nestled in the mountains, very private and secluded. Great kitchen and fire. The bed was sooooo comfy. Would definitely return, lovely walks, beautiful nature and Diane and her team were responsive with any messages... x

Desert DeVie! Lakeside home in Hot Springs Resort!
My family and I really enjoyed staying at Colette’s place. Her place was organized and clean. She was responsive and checked in on us upon arrival. She provides clean towels, robes, a clean kitchen with all the necessary items with a nice view of the lake. I definitely recommend staying at her place. :) Thank you!

Book 3 Nights; 4th Free! • 25 Magical Acres • Pool
We really loved the remote setting, the solitude and space that was provided, hiking in the nearby canyons, and the ability to cook in the kitchen. I had to do some work while I was there, and the Wi-Fi was actually perfectly fine for Zoom. we feel like anyone who finds out about this place wants to keep it a secret because it's just so special!

Stargazing - Spa - Cowboy pool - Lounging deck
This was a very great stay!! I loved everything about it, my pup did as well. Whenever I come back to Yucca Valley I will absolutely book again.

Charming Fox Cottage w/ Wood Burning Fireplace
What an absolutely amazing cabin! The pictures don’t do it justice. Cozy, well-appointed, perfectly situated between trailhead and town. We will be back.

Stylish Mid-Century Modern Vibe On The Lake!
We visited Palm Desert area in the weekend during Indian Wells Tennis tournament and felt luck to find this affordable, cute and lovely place to stay. It locates in a peaceful and relaxing community. Though it is about 20 miles from town, we have no issues with the driving. The unit itself is very organized with beautiful decoration. The kitchen and bathroom are well stocked and has everything even beyond what you need. We had a great stay for 2 nights and will definitely considering coming back next time.
