The house has ample rooms and beds. It is very private and quiet. The view is magnificent. The location is minutes from the heart of Joshua Tree. Everyone had an amazing vacation. ##### shira g.

My friend and I needed a break from the dreary PNW “spring” and booked a week in Joshua Tree. We mostly worked as we can both work remotely but we enjoyed our stay. Each day we took at least one walk/hike in nearby Joshua Tree NP. The weather was perfect, sunny and 70s. Tysons place had everything we needed for the week. We made all our meals in the well stocked kitchen. Each night we enjoyed watching the stars come out as we sat in the hot tub. Tyson was quick to respond when we had questions. Wi-Fi was stable and fast for two of us to work and zoom. The place is beautifully decorated. We ran out of time to enjoy the billiards table, opting for the hot tub instead. We will stay again! ##### Erin E.

We had a lot of fun playing all the games available. We especially enjoyed all the great recommendations. Would definitely stay again! ##### Primor P.

Comfortable beds, fun billiards/game room, and fully stocked kitchen. Also sweet little paintings in some rooms. We have paid twice as much on other trips for places not half as nice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024
