First off, the communicatiob with Lynn was top notch-very friendly, helpful, and personable. Check-in went without a hitch. My teo cattle dogs loved running around playing frisbee and ball in the backyard. The jacuzzi was awesome soaking in there at sunset was rejuvenating. You got a fireplace inside and a firepit outside which ai did some cooking on. There was all the amenities of home-great water pressure, instant hot water, filtered water at the kitchen sink, a crankin' ice maker, ping pong in the garage, washer & dryer, hiking down the street, lots ofbdvd's

Last minute decision for an overnighter. Found this little gem. Great communication from the start. Very cute place with everything you need. It was super windy so we didn’t get a chance to use the fire pit or hot tub but we look forward to it next time! We brought our dog and he enjoyed the fenced yard. Beds and bedding were

A delightful stay in a beautiful home

We loved our stay at La Mirada House, and look forward to returning! Lynn & Paul were great hosts - and we appreciated the thought and care that they put into every aspect of their home and what one might need when staying there. The hot tub - fabulous. The fireplace - perfect. The ping pong table - a great treat! Thanks again!

Quiet, comfortable home near Joshua Tree

The house was exactly as listed on VRBO! It had everything we needed, was comfortable and nicely accommodated 4 adults and 2 children, ages 10 &11. The neighborhood was quiet and a short distance to the West entrance of the park. The ping pong table in the garage and the hot tub in backyard were enjoyable amenities. I would definitely recommend this place.

Perfect Base for Exploring Joshua Tree Nat Park

First time visitor to Joshua Tree and this was a great location to access the park and local establishments. Can't say enough about the host's communication. It was in the 30's the night we arrived and there was no heat due to the pilot light being out. They sent a video showing how to light the pilot light on their home immediately and we had heat! We would stay there again when back in the area.

Cozy home

The house was just the right size for our family gathering: me and my husband, my sister and her 2 kids ages 9 and 6. We were close to the National Park and had an exciting scavenger hunt with the kids. The house had everything we needed for our stay - towels for the hot tub, ping pong, games, cards, and so much more. We loved this little house.

A great spacious and comfortable home

I came from the UK to meet my family here and we had a lovely time. The house was a relaxed and comfortable place to stay with lots of space for everyone. It had everything you might want, much more so than many other places I’ve stayed. It is a short drive to shops and a short walk to a beautiful nature preserve. The outside space is also very comfortable. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a beautiful home to stay in..Its sooo clean and there's everything you will need there. My husband and I and our best friends spent the night there...couldn't wait to stargaze...unfortunately the ONE night we stayed, it was cloudy!!! So disappointed..only night of the week it was cloudy. Oh well, no control over that. But we had a GREAT time at the house anyway..will DEFINITELY go back there for another try at stargazing!! Book it...you'll love it!!! Paul and Lynn are excellent hosts and very friendly and accommodating. We loved playing ping pong in the garage too!! The hot tub was also great with or without stars.
