Absolutely wonderful place. Creative, artsy, interesting, clean, beautifully appointed incredibly thoughtful intentional place. Everything you need to be able to cook well, sleep well, star-gaze, relax, be creative, and go to Joshua Tree every single day.
John was a wonderful host, attentive, helpful, non-judgmental, always available, flexible and anticipatory.
I am already trying to figure out when I can come back for a longer stay. This place is magic!

Instantly felt at home and comfortable when we walked in the door. The ArtLoft was immaculate and well-appointed…the owners thought of EVERYTHING. It was a truly unique and fun space with an air of “retro-“ in every corner. I had thought it would be more remote, but it was actually in a neighborhood. But don’t let that stop you! It has a very private feel to it and was close to all important aspects of a great stay in Joshua Tree. And a bonus…John responded tout-suite to any request or inquiry. Highly recommend the ArtLoft!

A friend and I stayed here two nights. We are both in our 60's. This was not only "a great place to stay while in Joshua Tree," it would be a fantastic place anywhere. (If only I could take it with me to stay in wherever I travelled!) Lots to enjoy just staying put, but convenient to explore highlights of Joshua Tree. Highly recommended.

Will definitely return. Very much enjoyed our stay. House is very relaxing and restful. So many cool items to look at and explore. Love the records. The hot tub was also a favorite.

We had a great stay with our family. Our kids (7 & 10) had a lot of fun at the house playing Bocce ball, grilling marshmallows on the fire pit, relaxing in the hot tub after hiking, typing on old fashion typewrite, and painting. The location is convenient, right near Joshua Tree National Park West entrance and close to grocery and restaurants.
Communication with the host after booking and during our stay was excellent and easy.
Highly recommend!

What a phenomenal home! The property is everything you expect, plus some. We were blown away with the attention to detail and love that went into it. If you are on the fence, don’t be, this is your spot! The host, John, was an amazing host, very informative and extremely easy to communicate with.
We can not wait to come back. Hopefully sooner than later!

We cannot say enough about our time at the Art Den. There were so many things to explore and create with. It was the perfect spot for our family to enjoy Joshua Tree. Close to everything and had everything we needed and more!

This is the must book spot if you are coming out to Joshua Tree for the weekend! Close to the park and downtown, but out of the way for ultimate quiet when you want its Josh and April have done a phenomenal job setting up this property. I will be back!

The place is as good as advertised, maybe better! So fun and unique, clean and comfy. It's super close to town, JTNP Visitor's Center, and a main entrance to the park.
John is an incredible host. We had some unfortunate weather while in SoCal (Santa Ana winds) which forced us to alter our plans a bit. John went above and beyond to be accommodating. Also, he provides a really thorough document full of ideas to make your visit excellent, from things to see and do to all of the best places to eat. It made planning our itinerary in Joshua Tree so easy. We really felt like we maximized our short time there, thanks to this.
My only complaint is that we didn't stay longer! We spent so much time exploring, we didn't spend enough time enjoying the Art Loft. Guess we'll have to go back...

This property was exactly what we wanted on our little getaway. John and April were very attentive and really set this place up with their guest in mind. The property is unique and inviting with tons of fun things to explore at the place and their resource guide for the area was a gem! Intimate enough for 2 and accommodating for more. We plan on returning with kids. Thank you both for creating and sharing this artistic jewel in the dessert for us to enjoy.

This house is just superb!
John communicated quickly and thoroughly at every stage including offering great advice on the best places to eat and which hikes to do.
The house itself is just sensational. Plenty of light. Great design. Honestly I wish i had stayed here longer.
The facilities are top notch with everything that you could need. Great beds. Great water pressure. A properly thought out kitchen with Joshua Coffee beans and grinder to boot.
I could not have asked for more.
