Relaxing unique experience
Everything from booking to the stay was with ease. Location was easy to find and accessible to stores if needed but remote enough to relax and enjoy the night time desert sky.

a quiet, unique space
I've always wanted to experience staying in a container home, and it was a great, relaxing experience. The home is very clean. I imagine it can get very hot but they have cooling/heating units throughout the space. We did not need to use them, we have beautiful March temperatures. It's surrounded by mountain views and on the edge of the park.

Erich and I had an amazing stay at this property! It was gorgeous. The design and layout was super, the outdoor space amazing and the view from the roof…stunning. We spent time in Joshua Tree, Palm Desert, Palm Springs and tons of hiking! Everything at this property is all and more than the listing! The host is so amazing:) I would move here if I could!

Orange & Blues
The attention to detail was appreciated . The color palette (blue /orange ) was pleasing interior and exterior. Lots of space and spots for quietness. The neighborhood is also devoid for the most part of city noises. Great place to contemplate, read and just relax.
