It was perfect for 4 adults and 5 children. The kids had a great time in the yard: hot tub, pool, fire pit and grassy area. The kitchen had everything you needed and the property management even included a nice welcome package that, to my delight, included coffee! I love when a vrbo property thinks of the small things that really make a difference. The house looked nice and was very clean. Plenty of towels/linens supplied (even pool towels). The property was so close to the entrance to the park- just a few minute car ride. Would definitely rent this place again. ##### Carrie A. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lori A. 27 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Thanksgiving Holiday We are a family of nine with three children and six adults. The property was clean and spacious. The kitchen had all the equipment/items we needed (although the dinning room table and chairs are a bit wobbly). It is pet friendly so our black lab Olive was able to come along as well. The location was quite and just down the street from from Joshua Tree National Park. The owner is just across the street and came by to say hello and make sure all was well. We have rented many properties in California over the years for family trips and found this to be our favorite house! We highly recommend it. ##### Lori A. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ---
