Summary: Coming from the east coast, our early-May stay in the Joshua Tree area was lovely. The Birdhouse was everything my wife and I hoped for and more! The hosts were wonderful -- communication was clear and timely, accessing the house was easy and intuitive, the pool, jacuzzi, and game room/bunk house were treats. While we came to town to visiting the National Park, we spent LOTS more time around the house than expected due to how fun, welcoming, and enjoyable it was. We'll definitely be back -- can't say enough good things about the home, it's location, decor, and value. Thanks for a lovely stay!
