Favorite place I have stayed in Joshua Tree. The view is incredible. The house is gorgeous. The pool is spectacular. The kithchen was a dream to cook in. The perfect place to relax and decompress.

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.
