“Glamping with all mod cons in a wonderful part of the world.”
Great location- about 10 mins drive from the 29Palms gate of Joshua Tree Reserve. Helpful & knowledgeable host. Very comfortable inside the pod and every possible need thought of from soft fluffy towels and shower toiletries to cooking utensils, great coffee to games. There’s a BBQ (we didn’t use), fire to sit round at night and a hammock.

Amazing location and all the attention to detail was great! So much for us to use that we didn’t expect when we knew it was so isolated, all greatly appreciated!

“Fantastic experience, wish we could have stayed longer!”
This place was phenomenal, we had such a great experience here! The pod was spacious inside and had A/C, the amenities were fantastic - anything we could have wanted and more was there for us. There is a gas grill for cooking, and all cooking utensils you might need. We had a fantastic tour of the of the property by the owner on arrival and got given some history of the area too, which was fascinating! This was my favourite place of the holiday and I just wished we could have stayed longer

“Great desert experience!”
Since the arrival our host was very kind and gave us a really nice chat about the history of the place. The room was very clean and comfy, considering the type of stay. Although the toilet and shower are not ensuite, this was known and everything very clean. The whole experience was wonderful.
