The home was extremely clean and welcoming. The location was also perfect. We stayed here because of its proximity to Joshua Tree National park so that we can see the Milky Way and we didn’t have to go anywhere as the location was perfect for stargazing. Everything was as described, no surprises. Will be definitely staying here again!

One of the best Airbnbs we had ever stayed in (and we work in property management back home, so we tend to notice any issues.) Stunning surroundings, private & serene. We loved the cowboy pool & hot tub! We were lucky to stay during a full moon, magical! Super close to Joshua Tree entrance, perfect relaxing & peaceful retreat after a day in the park. We wished we had booked another night. We’ll be back! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home! All the extra touches like comfortable sectional & mattresses, throw blankets, record player & great sounding Bluetooth speaker were much appreciated!

Our time at Zebra Shadow was a perfect stay! The home was spotless, and had all the amenities(Sauna, Jacuzzi, pool, cold plunge) available to use. The host was proactive with communication and recommendations. Would visit again when back in Joshua Tree.
