Very Unique!

Staying here was almost like sleeping in a museum. Lots of custom artwork, furniture, pottery and textiles. The management company was very helpful and the staff at the art studio on the property was friendly and informative. The property is very close to the park entrance and there is a nice private hiking trail just outside the house. Highly recommend!

Great Getaway

Beautiful property both within the home and in its exteriors. The interior is definitely an art piece in of it's own. Both beds are very comfortable and the tub is wonderful. The outside has multiple sitting areas with it's own charm and ambiance. The property itself is wonderful and access to a very cool hike was an added plus! Definitely recommend staying here for an experience :)

Amazing house! Great location, would stay again

The AZ West house was perfect for our needs. My husband and I traveled with our toddler for a long weekend in Joshua tree. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. I felt like we had made the right choice staying here, as soon as we walked in. Quiet, beautiful, and private. The location was perfect, close to JT and surrounding areas. The guide that was left on the front table was a nice intro into restaurants and what to do in the area. We also tried a new place not on the list of recommended restaurants called Thai and Lao cuisine in Yucca Valley that was off the charts good. (I’m still thinking about the meal we had there!) overall we had a great stay and we are so glad we booked the AZ West house. We would recommend it to anyone who wants to stay in a unique space in Joshua Tree.
