Cozy Desert Escape in Joshua Tree
If you are looking for a nice, quite and cozy place to stay during your visit to Joshua Tree, Nelson’s house is the right place. It’s has been our home during two days and the only thing i can regret ( to myself ) why I stayed so short ? :)

Stand Alone Casita - Very Private with Pool & Spa.
This place is super awesome! We felt like we was in the movie The Secret Garden for our entire stay.. I definitely recommend this place..A1!!

The T. House
Lili was very kind and helpful, easy-going, and made us feel very welcomed. Having the yard fully fenced was a great place for us as we could let our dogs roam about without worrying about them. The environment, including the outside desert area, was very pretty and super quiet. If you want a place to just go and relax chill out with no one bothering, I highly would recommend this place. We will go back and I think you would find it a peaceful and beautiful experience.

Luxury private suite in Palm Desert
We stayed here for Coachella 2025 weekend 1. It’s about a 30 second drive to the shuttle pick up which was amazing. You can even walk there, but we didn’t because it was over 100° all weekend. There was water in the fridge when we got there which was so nice! The bed was clean and comfortable and overall the space was just perfect for two people. Hermi is also super responsive and gave out 99% of the information we needed before we even arrived. Overall, 1000/10!! Bonus points for the strong AC AND ceiling fan :)

Palm Springs / Palm Desert Poolside Guesthouse
Very nice host and very nice place, as described. We had a good stay. The beds and pillows could use some upgrading, but overall it was a good stay.

The Gecko Getaway
One of the best Airbnb stays I’ve had! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was kind and responsive, and the location was perfect for exploring the Joshua Tree National State Park . Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

"La Casita de Amor"-Indian Palms CC
The room is nice and very clean, with a very cute outdoor terrasse with a peaceful view on the water. Perfect spot if you are staying for a festival. I wish there would be bikes (x2) available for the guests staying at the house to use them to go to the festival, because it is still a long walk from the house (doable but long). The host was very nice and reactive, and shared a lot of useful information. It was a very nice stay and comfortable, but still pricy for what you get, but this is due to the festival season. Thanks again Terry and Alex, we had a great time with my sister!

A loaf of the Mnob
Very nice and clean, and really close to the festival we were going too

Casa Cielo - A Desert Oasis
We stayed here and immediately considered quitting our jobs to become full-time pool (desert) people who only eat hand crafted desserts with paired wine tastings. This place feels like the set of a dreamy California desert film, and we were the effortlessly cool leads who grill, float, and watch movies simultaneously. The room? Cozy perfection. The kind of place that makes you whisper, “I deserve this.” My wife swore she could write a novel here and she doesn't even write. I planned to master basket weaving and wearing those tight shorts you can only wear in Brazil. We both took the best naps of our lives. Dreamed of staying here longer. This Airbnb has magic in the walls and sunscreen in the air. If you pass on this place, you’re basically just giving us extra days to come back and keep living our best desert lives. Book it. Float in it. Grill near it. Watch The Goonies in it. You won’t regret it.

High Desert Cabin w/ Wood-fired Tub & Mini Donkeys
A true paradise and complete relaxation time. Ashley and Matt’s home is so well thought out with clear instructions and wonderful kitchenware, comfortable bed and on and on. Everything was a delight from our arrival until leaving. The area outdoors is incredible with many seating areas to enjoy anytime of day and we really enjoyed the wood fired hot tub. Thank you Ashley and Matt for a wonderful stay. We hope to see you again.

Modern Casita! Pool! Sweet Yard, Pet Friendly
Comfortable and clean space, will definitely be back! Thanks Stef!

Casita (guesthouse)-King Bed
Johnnie was an amazing host for our first Coachella! We will definitely be back again next time!

Guesthouse Poolside Suite 700sf 1 BR/2 Full BA/LR
Trisha's place was beautiful! Very clean, cozy and comfortable. A great place to relax!

Adorable one bedroom guest house.
Fabiola was Amazing! Made sure we felt right at home and made checking in and out of the space very easy! She was always attentive to anything we had questions about and responded soooo fast! The room was great, had everything we needed to enjoy our time there, was very clean and in a nice neighborhood. Getting to and from Coachella was a breeze maybe a 10 minute Uber ride. Multiple food locations nearby for delivery. I enjoyed my stay here very much and I would most definetly come back to stay here! Fabiola is a great host and was very accommodating to her guests! Thank you again for everything!

Charming Guest House with 2 Private Courtyards
We had a great stay here. Check-in was very easy. The place was cozy and well-equipped. It was less than 15 min drive to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden and in a quiet neighborhood. Close by to many restaurants and stores. Would definitely stay here again

Retro Casita pool/spa, Tennis/Golf, Chella shuttle
Excellent accommodation, easy to find , quiet and clean. Kind host always willing to help. Highly recommended!

Midcentury Guesthouse with Private Pool
Amazing space! So close to great restaurants, like FARM, and you have two bicycles at your disposal to get around. Cannot recommend enough!

PS Central Studio-Cool Pool, Housekeeping C1
A great little spot, close to downtown but yet a peaceful retreat from the Hussle of the town. Nelson & Ramon were fabulous hosts and very welcoming! We will definitely be back!

Casita Bonita!
1,000 characters isn’t enough to say all the things about Maria & Sergio. Wonderful little home I would absolutely live in! I stayed 9 days waiting for my house to be ready in Morongo Valley and were this spot available for rent while I was shopping, I would have moved in! Maria is an absolute darling, there’s an awesome wrap around yard for my 2 gremlins (mini schnauzers) to run around and play or do their business, a grill outside with patio furniture, big screen TV, I mean, I truly couldn’t have asked for more! All the amenities you need and then some. The location is near to everything you could ever want, easy and close access to I-10, Walmart right down the road, tons of restaurants… I was sad to leave! Oh! Washer and dryer (with detergent & dryer sheets), fridge was stocked with food and drinks, she brought me a box of dates, always responded to messages, clean and nice furniture, flooring and shower. I wish I could give more stars and I 100% recommend this Casita Bonita!!!

Welcome to Desert Straw House!
Lisha’s place at Desert Hot Springs was utterly wonderful. We had the pleasure of meeting the hosts and they were lovely! There were essentials and amenities for us to us to cook with as well as a bar and home made pumpkin bred in the fridge which was delicious and we took full advantage of. The setting in the desert was absolutely beautiful and so peaceful. We were here for Coachella and so had to spend a little more on Ubers to get around because of its location, but it was so so worth it! Wish we’d stayed another day just to really enjoy the airbnb in all its glory! Overall great stay and would recommend!

Casita Grandview - A Luxury Retreat
Our experience was wonderful! We definitely want to come back and stay again. It’s so peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. The hosts are so friendly and accommodating. They answered any questions we had and completely respected our privacy. The bed is super comfortable and the pool is amazing too.

Palm Desert Vacation Villa
Such a beautiful little house for such a great price! Went to the desert for my birthday and it was so quiet & peaceful. Even though it was a shared backyard, we got to use the pool for hours with no interruption, it was like we had the whole place to ourselves. Would definitely come back again!

Feel the Sunshine Art Deco~Pool View~BBQ~Fire Pit~
Margret was a great host for our short weekend at Stagecoach! She was proactive in reaching out ahead of our stay and staying in touch leading up to and during the trip. The place was very clean and cozy, just what we needed! We very much enjoyed the pool and all the little amenities that were thought of such as an ice machine, beach towels by the pool, little snacks in the unit and a bottle of wine. We highly recommend Margret for your stay in Palm Desert!

Charming Casita on 5 acres near Joshua Tree Park
This was the perfect spot for our weekend getaway! Location was right in the middle of everything we wanted to do and the mini golf and horse shoe in the yard was great for the mornings
