What a stunning vacation home! We really enjoyed our stay which included swimming in the pool, jacuzzi relaxing, bocce ball, cooking in the gorgeous kitchen and evenings by the fire pit and star gazing. It was really close to the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park (10 minutes drive) and grocery shopping. The design was modern and functional as well as esthetically pleasing. We will definitely recommend to family and friends and hope to come back soon :)

Hightail House was a dream. It actually looked more beautiful than the images. The mountains constantly changed with the light, and the stars were stunning. The pool was bigger than expected and perfect to cool down. Inside everything was even more stylish and pristine than it appeared. It’s super easy to get to the park, the stuff in town, and the Nathan Purifoy outdoor museum was a 5 minute drive. Don’t miss it, his work is amazing (the books at the place are very good and there is one on his work). We came for a special occasion and it was a great experience and exceeded all of our expectations.

This was such a gem in the Joshua Tree area! 5 minutes from the North Entrance of the park, up from the valley bottom with beautiful views across the valley, and a perfect set up for enjoying the heat and cozy nights after getting some morning hikes in! The pool was a life saver during the mid day heat. The bocce court was a blast, such a unique addition that really made a fun activity we otherwise wouldn't have thought of. The fire pit was great for an evening cocktail and stargazing. The outdoor covered patio with couch was good for getting into the shade, and the grill made home cooked meals easy. Everything was in working order. We loved our stay here and would recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable spot close to the park with all the essentials and then some.
