Had a great time with my family at Mazen's place. We loved the pool area and arcade area. We appreciate the AC working properly and house being cold especially during hot days. Overall was a great stay and loved that it felt private and not too close to other homes.

Mazen was a fantastic host and extremely responsive to address any questions we had during our stay. This was a nice large fenced in property, perfect for dogs to run around.

This place was very fun for me and my family to stay. The pool was so nice in the hot weather as was the game room. Not too far from Joshua tree national Park either. Would definitely recommend to stay here.

The place was nice. Everything was at it was on the picture. We encountered a refrigeration issue, Host was quick to respond even on the 4th of July. We did loose some food that was bummer, he did offer to pay for the food if I hand it to him. I had already thrown it away. If you choose to stay here make sure you don’t take a lot of perishable items as host mentioned to me that the fridge doesn’t work well with a lot of food. Other than the fridge it was good stay.

The home was clean and well stocked with towels and blankets for a large group. I would recommend Mazen's home for anyone looking for peace and quiet in the desert!
