Pictures were accurate. It seemed even spacier in person. Mazen was a great host and communicated well.

Everything about this house was awesome. It was secluded which is just what we wanted. It's a big house and everything was kept up very well. I would be happy to stay here again.

The house is really at the heart of the desert. The surrounding views are awesome. The house is exactly as described in the pictures. Joshua Tree National Park is at a 30-minute distance from the house. The host is great. We couldn't unlock the door so I called the host and he sent someone within minutes to assist us. I'll definitely recommend this place. It was a very nice experience.

This place was a lot nicer than we had anticipated. The 5 acres of land was perfect for the dogs to run around. It was quite hot when we got there, but it's the desert and the ac ran well.

This was a beautiful place to stay. It was exactly what we were looking for, an isolated house in the middle of the desert with tons of land to walk around, star gaze. Very well kept and comfortable. Will return one day!

My husband and I and three dogs LOVE staying in Mazen's houses and loved this beautiful property which was fully securely fenced for our three dogs! The house itself has a huge king bed master bedroom, lovely kitchen and so much space and tranquility. Mazen and his assistant Elizabeth truly go above and beyond as hosts and we can't wait to come back soon to this stunning stargazer's pup paradise!

There were a couple minor issues that he resolved very quickly and was extremely responsive before and during the trip. We would definitely stay again. It was a great first experience with Airbnb. We will use the service again!

Mazen was really helpful. The place is better than the pictures and we had a great stay. Star gazing was really great here. The landscape is beautiful. The house is 20 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park.

This home is exactly as described, and Mazen was extremely responsive. The house is located in an extremely secluded spot outside of town, and we rode for a few miles on dirt roads to get there. It was perfect for us - we liked the open desert - but might be a little too secluded for some people. It's an excellent place to stay for day trips in Joshua Tree National Park.

Mazen's house was recently renovated and comfortable, located on a large secluded property that was an exactly what we were looking for. The kitchen is nice but i would recommend bringing cooking gear (pots/pans) as it's not fully stocked. Joshua Tree is a beautiful place, and this was a great home base for our group.

House was easy enough to find with GPS, dirt road leading in was no issue. Lots of amenities; game room, pool table, hot tub, pool, fire pits, electronics and good Wi-Fi. We had fun cooking in the huge kitchen and doing a cold plunge in the pool over the winter holidays. Everything was clean and hassle free. The property is huge and lots of places to easily sleep our family of 6, but be mindful that there is only ONE toilet on the entire property. Lots of appliances, dishwasher, laundry machines etc. Host was super responsive an excellent communication. Could be a really cool place to have some strange rave or bachelor party, we were just doing an immediate family Thanksgiving dinner and the kithen was huge for baking a giant turkey. Was a fun weekend at this unique house.

We enjoyed our stay at Mazen’s place. Location was private, peaceful and quiet. My family and I enjoyed sitting on their lawn chairs and Star gazing at night. Mazen left extra toiletries for us to use, which was so thoughtful. Since we forgot to pack some items. We would love to come again if in the area!

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.
