It was secluded yet had easy access to all amenities. Patricia, the property manager, was super helpful and responsive. I would encourage individuals, families, and business travelers to utilize this property. The fact that this property was historically significant (Red Skelton) made it even more enjoyable and unique. ##### Jim S.

No elaborate checkout procedures (just put stuff back where you found it, run the dishwasher), real furniture inside and out so you can actually relax, beautiful views, stunning sound system, and great coffee! Excellent communication with host. We are already planning return. ##### Laura W. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim G. 24 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My husband and I enjoyed a recent stay at the Skelton house. It felt secluded with a fabulous patio view of the sunrise and also great for stargazing. Perfect location near the north entrance to Joshua Tree NP. After long days of hiking the spacious bathroom was luxurious and relaxing. Surround sound in main room was excellent and we enjoyed screen-casting our pictures from the day. Full kitchen was perfect for morning breakfast and packing lunches for a day hiking in the park. Thank you to our hosts for a fabulous stay! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4cf9e80c-8513-42f9-b4d0-e2a2eab198bb-1763947553374.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2494739e-64eb-4254-8fc1-043cc35aab8c-1763947553184.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/359b622e-c365-4308-9291-f7f569c30b98-1763947553443.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0247cc95-083f-42be-99d6-6b269cce200d-1763947553366.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kim G.

Host was super communicative and the property was beautiful. I liked the specific directions to the property, especially the advisory that Google Maps is incorrect. That saved me for sure. I also like the light button labels and the comfortable furnishings. My only recommendation is a washer and dryer for people who would need them. I highly recommend the property to prospective visitors! ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frances B. 28 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Nice place and photos don’t do it justice.
