Situated in Joshua Tree in the California region, The Raven House - Renovated Homestead Cabin features accommodation with access to a hot tub. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. Outdoor seating is also available at the holiday home. Raven House is as described & looks just like the photos. Everything I needed & more was in the cottage. The main bed is super comfy. I had easy access to each of the patio areas & enjoyed having my coffee & breakfast on the patio with the outdoor tubs (not functioning on my visit). The cottage is the perfect spot to stay while visiting the area. I was there to hike & see a little of Joshua Tree National Park. While Hilary was right next door, if I needed assistance, I was provided total privacy. The hot tub was fabulous to soak in at the end of the day & a great spot to stargaze. I truly wish I'd booked for a longer stay. It was a ten star stay. Thanks, Hilary.

The spacious holiday home with a balcony and mountain views has 2 bedrooms, a living room, a flat-screen TV, an equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and an oven, and 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower. Towels and bed linen are available in the holiday home. There is also a seating area and a fireplace. Very nice and comfortable house. We loved the interior which turned out to be bigger than we thought while looking at the house from the outside. Nicely equipped kitchen. Beds very comfy, stylish bathroom. We appreciated good wi-fi and availability of streaming services (Netflix, Disney, etc.). The AC was on (@71 F) when we arrived which was a lifesaver on a super hot day. Good location just minutes away from the park entrance. We were a bit disappointed that no bears visited the property while we were there :-)

A recently renovated holiday home, Bear Paw Cabin new construction near Yosemite offers accommodation in Mariposa. The air-conditioned accommodation is 48 km from Yosemite Arch Rock Entrance, and guests can benefit from on-site private parking and complimentary WiFi. Loved the location, kitchen and bathrooms had all the essentials and some lovely extras. I loved the map on the wall where each guest can pin where they come from, a very cute idea. Special thanks also to Theresa and Glen for being such fantastic hosts. They were highly communicative and helpful.

All units at the holiday home come with a seating area. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and bathrobes, units at the holiday home also feature free WiFi. At the holiday home, units come with bed linen and towels. The bungalow was perfect, a real home away from home ideally located near the Joshua Tree National Park; it was beautifully designed and furnished (with free water bottles and other commodities which we appreciated), charming, with a secluded and private view to the surrounding desert. The beds were so comfortable, that we slept peacefully and felt regenerated after a 6 hours drive. We woke up at 5.30 to see the sun rising and it was one of the more memorable moments of our trip. Sadly we stayed only one night but I definitely want to go back again to enjoy the surrounding area more and the bungalow.

A full kitchen with some food in the refrigerator was available. The house is decorated with a special taste. And the best of course is the night sky.

Towels and bed linen are offered in the holiday home. There is also a seating area and a fireplace. We stayed in this house for 2 nights and 3 days and were absolutely delighted! It's a very cozy and clean place with great attention to detail. The peaceful and quiet atmosphere allowed us to fully relax and enjoy our stay. The jacuzzi was amazing, with hot water-perfect for unwinding in the evening. It's clear that the owner takes good care of the house, as everything is in excellent condition, neat, and comfortable. A great place for a quiet getaway-we will definitely come back again!

Justify the name "Paradise" communication with the owner was very simple, and the instruction to check in were clear and simple. The house was very clean (loved the welcome message on the white board) and had all that is needed and beyond (thanks for the wine and treats). very short drive to the national park entrance. 10/10

Ideally set in the heart of Palm Springs, Lucille Palm Springs is a recently renovated villa, offering free WiFi and parking on-site. The property has mountain views and is less than 1 km from O'Donnell Golf Course and 2 km from Palm Springs Convention Center. Guests can make use of the outdoor fireplace or the outdoor pool, or enjoy views of the garden and inner courtyard. Great place, very special and cute, very nice experience. We went in August - it was very hot. If you go to Palm Springs I recommend you stay here. The host Alfredo is extremely nice and friendly and gives recommendations on the area. On the night of arrival he made us a grapefruit cocktail as he wanted us to taste something special.
