Our family had a wonderful stay. The hosts were very accommodating, the house was clean, and there were directions for the use of everything at the house. Would highly recommend this house to others.
This is a wonderful jewel near Joshua Tree. A great astronomical experience for those space-inclined, with space outfits and witty decor that also provided a classy, comfortable atmosphere. The observatory is even better than I imagined and you should allot it plenty of time, it will go by in a flash
We had a great stay here for my birthday. The hosts are super friendly & accommodating, & put love into hosting this spot! The observatory was built beautifully & was a really amazing experience. Great views during the day & quiet neighborhood in a prime area.
My family & I had such a great experience. Such a cute spot and offers many activities, we also appreciated all the labels and instructions. Definitely recommend this rental.
We had a wonderful time at Observatory Retreat! I adored the views, my kids adored the games, and everyone loved the observatory. You can really tell a lot of love and effort went into this property. Michelle was great and so helpful throughout our stay!
Extraordinary VRBO experience for our family of four. 1. The observatory is very cool and unique . We spent hours there exploring the sky. 2. The hosts, Michelle and Jonathan, are very responsive. We had some technical questions for the observatory and texted them at night. Jonathan called us back and walked us through the details patiently. 3. A clean, neat and functional property with tons of entertainment options available. We had a blast!
We loved everything about our stay from the homey feeling to the hot tub, arcade games, and amazing Observatory!!!! The home is in a great neighborhood and close to Joshua Tree NP. Kitchen is fully stocked so you can make great meals. You would never have to leave to have a good time but can go to the NP if you want! We have travelled the world and this is now our favorite vacation home rental!
The house has plenty of sunlight, sufficient privacy, and the observatory was awesome! We had Steve come and operate it, with a very knowledgeable explanation of different planets, stars, nebula, and gallaxies.
We spent two nights for my birthday, and the property owners went out of their way to make it special. It was wonderful to have so many fun ways to entertain ourselves in the evenings. The observatory was amazing and we loved all the games as well. The house was clean and lovely, with terrific views. The beds and other furniture were comfy. Check in & out were flawless and communication was outstanding. I highly recommend.
A great house with amazing views. The observatory was an awesome experience.
The house is exactly as you see in the pictures and it has everything a family needs. The games and the game room were a big hit with the kids but observatory really grabbed their attention. A truly one of a kind experience. It is a great location and easy to get to Joshua Tree and Pioneertown. Michelle and Jonathan are great hosts and responded right away to any questions we had. Stay here and you will not be disappointed.
The weather did not cooperate during our time in Joshua Tree, so we were very thankful to be staying at the Observatory Retreat! There were plenty of indoor activities and games to keep our family occupied. The hot tub was especially enjoyed. Michelle kept a close eye on the forecast and was in contact on our way there to make suggestions on timing to be able to enjoy the observatory. This was a truly unique experience!
How many descriptors can I provide??
This is an "EXPERIENCE", not a "rental-by-owner". If you have expectations, set them aside.
Our family found that the overall fun & entertainment we had completely erased all other memories of previous vacation rentals. From the pool table, air hockey, and other big game tables downstairs to the smaller games upstairs (especially the nostalgic Galaga, Ms. Pac Man!), everyone was absolutely engaged the entire time.
After sunset, the silhouetted view of the hills behind the house and observatory, with the backdrop of stars dotting between the clouds energizing the sky with lightning and thunder gave a welcome twilight smile to us all, while we ventured down the drive to the Observatory.
Prepare to be amazed - after watching the instructional video from Johnathon and Michelle, of course! You are in the driver's seat from the moment you enter. All controls and celestial selections are yours to choose. The automation of the telescope and dome will put a sparkle in everyone's eyes, especially the children. Watch the action unfold!
When it's time to relax, open up the jacuzzi and feel the magnesium bath your body and muscles in healing heat.
Morning time found us cooking a nice breakfast and prepping for a bbq on the deck overlooking the valley below. the deck also has a spectacular view at nighttime, as well.
Nearby, are several fun, quaint tourist-y landmarks and adventures - IF you choose to leave.
The home was very clean and inviting. Bathrooms were ready for any needs. The kitchen was stocked with the utensils and dishes, amenities, and, even included coffee and hot cocoa!
A family would have the best time here.
The only, singular disappointment was leaving. ;)
Thank you for this Experience!
