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.

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.

Perfect getaway!

I was looking for a quiet weekend getaway with easy access to Joshua Tree National Park and this was perfect! The property is exactly as described. Very clean, very safe, and great amenities. The town itself is small but has a lot to offer. I couldn’t recommend staying here enough!

Peaceful

The cabin was just what we needed for the beginning of our trip...a nice clean QUIET place to put our feet up so we could get out hiking the next day. Hosts were very kind and polite and the cabin was very clean. Bathroom could use some updating but everything worked fine and all was in order. Seriously quiet even though you could see the town and roads down below...could not hear anything... enjoyed it very much.

Cabin at Windy Gap

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin in Joshua Tree. Just a little confusion with the directions but Nicole was very responsive. It is a nice peaceful location and close to Joshua Tree NP. Would stay there again if we venture back out that way.

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.

The Cabin at Windy Gap in Joshua Tree

The cabin was a perfect spot for 2 people visiting the Joshua Tree Natl Park. Very clean and had lots of amenities - great coffee, French press in addition to a regular coffeemaker, and large windows in living room and bedroom showcasing the amazing sunrises every morning. Close to Park.

Lovely cabin near Joshua Tree National Park

Perfect spot! The cabin was cozy yet spacious for two people. It had everything we needed to relax while being comfortably protected from the blistering heat outside (A/C works great!). You feel tucked away with a great view and yet you're just a short drive into town and to the park. Would happily return.

very cute cabin with a great view

This place was super cute, pretty private and had everything we needed. We wanted to mostly make our own food and we were able to do just that. The stars at night are amazing, if you sat out on the patio for 10 mins you would be able to see at least 3 shooting stars- beautiful! Has a great approximately to everything too.

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.

Just Right in Joshua Tree

Great little place to stay for two people. Super comfortable and clean. Kitchen had all the basics! I absolutely loved the property! Beautiful views. Amazing location to watch the sunrise. Sunset was nice too! I appreciated feeling welcome to wander around the property and check out all the amazing rocks! Super convenient location if you are planning to visit JTNP. Lots of opportunity for bird watching on the property! Very attentive hosts!

Week at Joshua Tree

We enjoyed our stay at the Windy Cabin. The location is in the right proximity for taking day trips to the park and surrounding area. The cabin is small and cozy with most things you need for a short stay. Our 7 night stay was probably too long for the accommodations. The refrigerator is very small, an apartment size would be more appropriate as we made the choice to eat most of our meals out. The location was not as remote as we expected, however it offers a very pleasant area for hiking. I walked most mornings and spotted jack rabbits, a variety of birds, and an occasional lizard. If you enjoy nature this is your spot! I would recommend providing a few more details in the cabin manual, such as availability of towels and other needs. Overall perfect long weekend location for a single person or couple as described. Access to the area offerings, ideal! Be sure to take in the park, shopping in Joshua Tree’s unique stores, and excellent pizza at Sky High Pie! Enjoyable week! Thank you!

A Home with a View

My daughter and I stayed here for a mom/daughter trip before she graduates college and goes off into the world. This home was the perfect place for us. It had everything we needed to make this a special trip. We had a view of the sunrise every morning. The area had the perfect view of sunset in the evening. And because there is no light pollution, we were able to enjoy the gorgeous evening sky. The home is very well kept. It is cozy warm for the cold evenings. It is plenty cool during the daytime when the sun is out and warming up the place. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our meals. I can't say enough great things about this place. I was beyond satisfied with everything including the privacy of the place, the communication with the owner, the beautiful property, the amenities, and the proximity to Joshua Tree. I will most definitely stay at this place the next time I visit Joshua Tree.
