We had a wonderful and peaceful stay! Everything was clean, and the check-in instructions were easy to follow. The property had plenty of outdoor space, and we especially enjoyed the hot tub and cold pool. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind in Joshua Tree. We would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I enjoyed our getaway at the Friendship House. The house is clean and has all the necessities, beautiful inside, and pretty comfortable. The location is great if you want a perfect getaway. We enjoyed the cowboy tub during the day; the water gets nicely warm. The bedroom gets a little bit hot during the day, because there is just one AC in the main room. However, the stay was great, and we enjoyed the desert a lot.
