This place is excellent, including its location, the views, and the details that are kept up throughout, which include timed outside lights, an expresso machine, great record player and sound, tons of spices and kitchen basics, and a strong AC system. Our family group of three had a great 5 days. The owner/manager is on top of things, checked in with us via email, and was a pleasure

Loved everything about our stay, with the minor exception of no lounge chairs were avaliable for the pool. We understand the owner was in the process of replacing the previous ones, but the photos show lounge chairs, and we didnt really have anywhere to sit and enjoy the pool. Otherwise, i cant say enough about the beautiful sunrises, and hiking out the back was perfect when we didnt want to go all the way into the Joshua Tree park

3 nights at Casa Altura

This property was perfect for our party of 4 (2 couples) while we visited Joshua Tree. No fighting over the best bedroom because they are both very similar, each with it’s own bathroom. The kitchen and living areas are spacious and light with large windows looking out over the desert. Loved the hot tub and pool too. And a convenient proximity to the National park. Best restaurant around was Kitchen in the Desert, 18 mins away. Great food and vibe. Would stay here again!
