Summary: Perfectly nestled between 29 Palms and Joshua Tree proper. The property managers were great at responding and working with us when we ran into small technical glitch before we checked in. The house was absolutely gorgeous and really allowed us to relax and enjoy the desert views and slow pace. But it only takes about 5-7 min to get to downtown Joshua Tree!! We will be back!!!
