Twentynine Palms Desert Oasis w/ Pool & Hot Tub!

Twentynine Palms Desert Oasis w/ Pool & Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent
"This property was perfect for our family vacation to visit Joshua Tree! It was the best of both worlds, being close to the park’s north entrance (20 minutes) and quiet and secluded down 2 miles of dirt road. Even though we didn’t end up taking advantage of all that it had to offer, the amenities were plentiful. Upon arrival and exploration of the place, my 10 year old son said “There’s no way I’ll get bored here!”—the truest and best testimonial. Our only constructive feedback would be that we wish there had been more guidance/instructions on using the hot tub. It was a bit confusing and thus we didn’t end up using it despite it being tempting to soothe sore muscles after active days in the park. All in all, we’d stay here again!"
