Last minute decision for an overnighter. Found this little gem. Great communication from the start. Very cute place with everything you need. It was super windy so we didn’t get a chance to use the fire pit or hot tub but we look forward to it next time! We brought our dog and he enjoyed the fenced yard. Beds and bedding were

A delightful stay in a beautiful home

We loved our stay at La Mirada House, and look forward to returning! Lynn & Paul were great hosts - and we appreciated the thought and care that they put into every aspect of their home and what one might need when staying there. The hot tub - fabulous. The fireplace - perfect. The ping pong table - a great treat! Thanks again!

Quiet, comfortable home near Joshua Tree

The house was exactly as listed on VRBO! It had everything we needed, was comfortable and nicely accommodated 4 adults and 2 children, ages 10 &11. The neighborhood was quiet and a short distance to the West entrance of the park. The ping pong table in the garage and the hot tub in backyard were enjoyable amenities. I would definitely recommend this place.

Perfect Base for Exploring Joshua Tree Nat Park

First time visitor to Joshua Tree and this was a great location to access the park and local establishments. Can't say enough about the host's communication. It was in the 30's the night we arrived and there was no heat due to the pilot light being out. They sent a video showing how to light the pilot light on their home immediately and we had heat! We would stay there again when back in the area.

The property was well appointed in an eclectic way, though with older furnishings. All appliances worked properly and the house and amenities were very clean. Very clear instructions prior to our arrival and a house manual with information and instructions for our check out. I would stay here again.

Cozy home

The house was just the right size for our family gathering: me and my husband, my sister and her 2 kids ages 9 and 6. We were close to the National Park and had an exciting scavenger hunt with the kids. The house had everything we needed for our stay - towels for the hot tub, ping pong, games, cards, and so much more. We loved this little house.

A great spacious and comfortable home

I came from the UK to meet my family here and we had a lovely time. The house was a relaxed and comfortable place to stay with lots of space for everyone. It had everything you might want, much more so than many other places I’ve stayed. It is a short drive to shops and a short walk to a beautiful nature preserve. The outside space is also very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

My husband and grown sons took our annual family trip and stayed here. We loved the location, view from back yard, all the various birds we saw and the peace & quiet. A nice surprise was the ping pong table in the garage made for some fun! Home was well stocked. We look forward to staying here in the future.

Beautiful and spotless house in Joshua Tree. Great location too!!

This is a beautiful home to stay in..Its sooo clean and there's everything you will need there. My husband and I and our best friends spent the night there...couldn't wait to stargaze...unfortunately the ONE night we stayed, it was cloudy!!! So disappointed..only night of the week it was cloudy. Oh well, no control over that. But we had a GREAT time at the house anyway..will DEFINITELY go back there for another try at stargazing!! Book it...you'll love it!!! Paul and Lynn are excellent hosts and very friendly and accommodating. We loved playing ping pong in the garage too!! The hot tub was also great with or without stars. Very very clean..dont look at any other homes...book this one!!! PS....I never leave reviews..but this one I HAD TO!!!!! its decorated so cool too!!! Loved it!!!

Wonderful!

What a great place to stay and enjoy the beauty of Joshua Tree. We flew to LA to visit my daughter who is going to college there, rented a car and drove to Joshua Tree. This place is particularly suitable for people who are flying from afar, as it comes stocked with everything you need, including coffee and popcorn. Beds and pillows are extremely comfortable, too. The hot tub and ping-pong table are fun as well. Thank you for a great stay!

The La Mirada house was perfect for us and our visit to Joshua Tree. Our daughter and her toddler son joined my husband and me for a few nights and we had plenty of space, and yet the house still felt cozy and comfortable.

What a wonderfully comfy home!

We were only here for one night, but I don't think our stay could have been improved upon. After hiking in Joshua Tree, how nice it was to stay in such a well-stocked place with warm throws, a wonderful movie selection, great instructions for TV operation (something that is often lacking in rental homes), and super comfortable beds and pillows. It's obvious that the owners have put a lot of thought into making their guests comfortable. We didn't really cook there, but the kitchen was well-stocked with basics, including spices. This is something I always appreciate when traveling. Thank you for sharing your home with us. I hope we can return one day.
