Amazing stay in Joshua Tree, stunning property, perfect for those early risers as the sun comes up between the valley and straight into the house and onto that yoga deck. Stunning scenery and great hosts. Lots of activities to do at the house or just chill out by the pool and read. Would highly recommend.

This was the perfect place for our group of 6 adults and a one-year old to prepare meals together, relax by the pool, have game nights and enjoy the surrounding nature. The location was very private but only five minutes into town or a very easy 60 minute drive to downtown Palm Springs. A very well-appointed kitchen, lots of board games and activities and the pool and hot tub were fantastic.

The Highlands Retreat was a beautiful place that my guest and I had the pleasure of staying at for two days. Ben + Andrea’s place was extremely clean, filled with great amenities to include a pool, hot tub, ping pong table, board games, and even an outdoor deck area to do yoga, how incredible! We were completely blown away by the view and the serene atmosphere. We love coming to Joshua Tree and will definitely recommend The Highlands Retreat to our closest friends and family.

This place is beautiful. It has beautiful views and feels very private. We couldn’t enjoy the beautiful grounds because it was very, very windy but we had a wonderful time in the house and chose to eat in consistently because it was so comfy and had everything we needed. We hope to return soon!
