Stargazing Weekend

A relaxing weekend away with amazing views both day and night. Not quite as secluded as I had expected, but still very private. The Vrbo was so cozy and the vibe was on point. A great place to enjoy the desert landscape and wildlife.

A great place to stay, peaceful, clean, quiet

The cabin is located in the middle of a desert but with many beautiful spots. The host's house is nearby, so you may get help easily. You can find Walmart or ALDI within 10 mins. But the place is quiet and peaceful, especially at night. The whole cabin is surprisingly clean. Nicole is very nice and helpful. We really enjoy the stay.

2/7 — 2/12 at windy gap

Cabin at windy gap was the perfect place to relax and share meals after exploring Joshua Tree National Park and surroundings. The cabin was clean, well equipped, and became our home away from home. The property is nicely decorated and the flora and fauna are a great intro to what the area has to offer. The hosts are hospitable and communicative. Highly recommended.

Almost great-

This was a lovely, clean small cabin. Great location. Host was welcoming and kind. The problem was no shade at all outside! Sail cloth that is shown in all pictures as shade did not exist. Full sun from 6:30am to 7:00pm. Disappointing.

Can't wait to go back!

We absolutely loved this property. It was easy to get to, we had plenty of privacy, beautiful views, and the amenities were excellent. I have to say too that our communication with the property manager/owner was the best ever. This place has been by far our favorite place to stay out of all of our vacation destinations.
