It is a nice place, with fun decor, and the little lazy river pool was great. The amenities were very nice, and everything thing worked, excepting the roof patio umbrella, which we knew ahead of time that it was not working. It would have been better to take it away rather than leave it in place broken as it was, as it was very noisy with the wind whipping it around. The record player and 80s LPs was a real treat. The master bedroom and bath are very nicely appointed. The host clearly has given a lot of attention to esthetics, comfort and convenience. We really enjoyed our stay and saw a magnificent view of the Milky Way, only 1/2 hour drive into the park.

Loved the property! Host was very responsive.

This house and property were amazing, better than the photos showed. Every detail was well thought out, interesting and unique. All amenities were easy to use, comfortable, private and serene. The house was well located for the park, town and jaunts to various attractions. The lazy pool was very fun and we spent hours enjoying the pool area overlooking the mountains.Upstairs deck was a huge added benefit for me as I love to star gaze and this house offered it up on a silver platter. The night sky was so clear and very dark. I was able to capture the Big Dipper from just my phone camera.This is an amazing property and I highly recommend it to everyone. I am hoping to bring my daughters back to this wonderful spot!

We loved the vibe of the Black Cactus. The place has been intentionally curated for a chill vacation experience, complete with quirky details and a thoughtful, irreverent aesthetic. The interior is dark, clean and cozy, which contrasts perfectly to the raw, desert landscape. It also smelled quite pleasant inside. We appreciated the record selection (someone clearly has quality taste in music, must be Gen X). The sunrise, sunset and mountain views probably justify the stay alone. But the added features really define the place; the roofdeck with those plush chairs, the hot tub, multiple fire pits and retro landscape art. The crown jewel is the lazy river pool. After experiencing it, one is left to ponder why anyone would waste their time building any other type of pool. Thanks for sharing your cool place with our family. It made for a memorable vacation in Joshua Tree!
