You are close to the popular West entrance of Joshua Tree National Park as well as the North entrance to the park and this allows you relatively quick access to two different areas. The property was beautiful, it sits right up against the desert boulders and is very quiet, making for wonderfully peaceful and relaxing evenings. Great for stargazing as well. The host provides a very detailed orientation to the property and the home is well stocked with all the essentials. ##### Jennifer L.

We were two adult couples who came to visit Joshua Tree NP. Dale has a wonderful property and it is clear that he is very proud of what he has created. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well appointed, and the whole place was clean. It is a very private area located close to the park. The rocks behind the place are great for exploring. It’s located about 10-15 minutes from town which is nice for privacy and quiet. The hot tub was a wonderful treat after a long day of hiking too.I really have nothing but good things to say about the property. We hope to return soon! ##### Erik S.

Such a unique property with large rocks right behind the poolside. You can rock climb on them easily to watch sunrise and sunset. The stargazing is magical! I had planned a trip to Joshua Tree to propose to my girlfriend and when I saw this place I knew it was the one. We can a trip to remember and were already talking about our return before we checked out. Dale is a lovely host who will meet you upon check in and show you around the place.

Dale's property was amazing and honestly one of my top 3 favorite renatls I've ever stayed in (and we travel a lot)! He was such a wonderful host and we loved learning about all of the rich history and meaning behind the home and its details. We felt so comfortable and relaxed here all week that it was especially difficult to pack up and leave when it was time to return home. From the incredible "backyard" boulder cilmbs to stargazing in the hot tub after a long day hiking in the park, this place was everything we needed and more. The pool is so thoughtfully designed that it was such a treat to see the sky's reflection pictured inside of it. We had a fire every night, slept comfortably, and enjoyed exploring the grounds. The location is great, the property is peaceful and private, and Dale is a charming bonus! :) He also gave us a walking tour of his newest home design that is currently being constructed. It took our breath away! I was so impressed by every thoughtful detail, and I truly feel lucky to have gotten to see it before the inside walls were even built. I'm already anxious to take the next tour when everything is complete! This will be another unique desert treasure thanks to Dale. We will absolutely be back! Thank you again for sharing your home and heart with us! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cca5193e-dc5b-4e3f-bd3f-fbbaf4eac569-1760484827902.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a090ca62-22e4-4a2b-a1cf-183b449e53f2-1760486102140.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d712f188-7005-45cd-8aa1-9d28ae5c5991-1760486104077.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/712c2d6a-d199-4b5a-b94a-fdacb45483e7-1760486104138.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rachel E.

We wanted to get out of LA before our son went back to school and this was the perfect respite. The home is private and abuts Joshua Tree National Park. We saw so many animals and the rocks and flora were amazing.The pool is magical and we spent most of our time there watching birds fly by and lizards crawl on the rocks, while escaping the heat. The grounds are covered with rosemary and cypress, and floating in the pool smelling those heat scented plants is such an amazing memory. The interior of the house is full of really cool books on just about every subject you can think of. The cooling system in the house is great and we felt really and comfortable despite the summer heat. The hot tub is clean and set up against a wonderful desert backdrop and there’s a grill and full kitchen for use.Dale is a wonderful host who takes great pride of ownership. I loved hearing about his family’s history at the property and he took us on a tour to show us how everything works. He did a great job of checking in to ensure we were comfortable without being intrusive. He was very accommodating to my 6 year old son. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back for another trip! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ffdc960c-3401-4bd6-942b-2109211b1e30-1755376431616.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3804c65b-b62e-4fc4-b991-93edbaffa96a-1755376432093.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/eae16c78-fffd-4c73-9bdf-04c46bd4e35d-1755376431481.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a3e4812a-4024-419c-b5dc-c8788e044fdb-1755376433393.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### J F.

The house was a bit cramped for a family of five but we didn't book this place to be inside. It's an older house so don't expect modern day luxuries but the AC blows cold, the water pressure is great, the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook meals and there are plenty of books to read if you're into that. Also, there's a great coffee spot (Mas o menos) right down the street which was a plus. Dale is accommodating and will give you a tour of the site during your check in. I know this isn't for everyone so just keep that in mind. The real star of the show is the back side of the property. There's a stand alone jacuzzi which is perfect for relaxing and staring at the sky. The pool is amazing and fenced in and backs up to the sprawling boulder area. My kids loved climbing the boulders and each day they would explore higher and higher. The high cave was their favorite spot. It was great to have that option for the days we didn't feel like making the trek into JTNP. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it. ##### Jun L.

Our group came for reconnecting with each other, ourselves, and the environment… to meditate, enjoy the rocks and the peacefulness. We found the home to be very well appointed and filled with beautiful art. And the Location! … we were right there with the boulders of Joshua Tree! And with shade trees and interesting plants the host has been growing there. Imagine driving into the Park and finding an interesting place to settle for a while as you enjoy the desert and rock formations. Now imagine having a comfortable house… right there! With a pool and a spa… right there! Our group of friends typically takes retreats down to a ranch house in Baja, in the mountains east of Ensenada. We’ve owned it for decades – and the rock and plants are much like Joshua Tree. A few years ago, a Mexican cartel took over the region to harvest a prolific agave-type plant that is used for cosmetics. There was a fair amount of violence with local ranchers and on the roads. We haven’t gone down there together for a long time...and chose Dale’s Villa dei Fiori because the landscape reminded us of Mexico. Coming to Dale’s place in Joshua Tree was just what we needed… to rekindle our sense of that remote ranch, the wild country, and to reconnect in a lovely, comfortable place. We felt lucky. ##### Ralph C.

The layout outside with the pool and hot tub was great. My wife and I had a most relaxing time. The house is between the west and north entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the north entrance, which is less busy than the west entrance. We saw lots of lizards and gila monsters on the property. There is a nice hike on the property as well. We were lucky enough to see a bobcat on one of the last days we were there! That was very exciting, as they are very skittish. The only complaint I would have(very minor), is the kitchen is a little small. There is plenty of seating to eat inside or out. We ate outside most of the time, which was pleasant. I highly recommend staying here! Dale kept in contact, and made sure everything was satisfactory. Thank you Dale! We will be back in the near future! ##### Tony Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Homa D. 8 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Really special stay This gem of a rental is warm, decadent and so comfortable. Every living space celebrates the art of living. From the beautiful bed and bed frames to the landscaping, to the pool and all the outdoor set ups for little picnics and snacks. The house is full of books you will want to lose yourself in. The pool is so thoughtfully designed and tucked in the boulders. This is the kind of place that you want to keep a secret. We were myself, my husband, two daughters (5 and 6), my parents and my aunt (70). Everyone adored this place, and it met us where we all were. We didn't even have a need to go into the park, as we were surrounded by a private backyard of boulders and Joshua tree. The kids loved swimming in the pool every day--in March! and even dragged us in, which was surprisingly refreshing and delightful. Dale, the owner, is a magical human being who we were so lucky to get to spend time with. The stories he shared, both of his life and of this space, were part of the best memories we have. If you have the luxury to get to know him during your stay, there is no better souvenir to take from Joshua Tree. There is a 10-page agreement that comes with the rental. It is Dale's love letter to this special property. I loved reading it; I loved following all the rules, knowing that is what keeps it beautiful and allows us all to have really nice things. Highly recommend! ##### Homa D. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ---
