This property is perfect. Pool and jacuzzi were great and there are tons of games to play in the large backyard. Beautifully landscaped with amazing Joshua Trees in the back and the front yard is beautiful too. The house has everything you could want to cook and the big screen TV in the living room was a real treat for us. It's huge.Thank you Monica and Skip for our wonderful anniversary trip. And thank you for the flowers. Awesome touch.

Skip and Monica’s place is great! The pool area is amazing—lovely pool, hot tub, outdoor games, tables for dining, a fire pit, great views of the stars. The house was super well appointed. It had everything we needed and more. And it’s only 10 mins from the closest hike in Joshua Tree and maybe 25 from the main Joshua Tree (town) entrance.

Monica and Skip's rental is a true standout -- a genuine home away from home. It is thoughtfully equipped with everything a couple, family, or group of friends could need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen is especially well-stocked for those who enjoy cooking, while the heated pool, hot tub, and inviting outdoor spaces make it easy to unwind -- and remain unwound! Whether you're swimming, lounging in the shade, or grilling and dining al fresco, the setting is ideal. Tucked away on a quiet street yet just minutes from the spectacular Joshua Tree National Park, the location strikes a perfect balance between seclusion and convenience. A special note of thanks to Monica, who called shortly after our arrival to ensure we had everything we needed. We did! This place is a gem. Don't miss it!

We had a wonderful time in this peaceful and well appointed home! Well stocked, nicely decorated and the outdoor spaces were wonderful! We really enjoyed the spa! The owners cared about the details and the guests comfort. When we had some issues with the pool heating they got right on it to make it all right. So close to Joshua Tree and the ones in the yard are huge., our little dog had a great time exploring the whole place! Thank you,great stay!

I do not normally do a review, but this property is truly exceptional for a fun weekend with family and friends. There are plenty of pool floaties and if you bring your own there is an air compressor for your use. Young grandkids brought their bikes to ride at the park. Turns out they road them all over the backyard.

Our second time at Hidden Gold. So easy and comfortable to settle in. It is in such a great location in YV… close to everything, but up toward the foothills in a quiet neighborhood of large parcels. The owners have so thoughtfully arranged and stocked the house, you won’t lack for anything. The pool and backyard were the centerpiece for us. Fun and relaxing for all. And, well, there are Joshua Trees all around the property. Very cool.

Wonderful property and a great host!

We had a wonderful time. The home is very comfortable with plenty of room to spread out. The main living area is spacious with a large couch, two comfortable recliners and much more. The large screen in the living room was excellent.The AC works very well and did not have any difficulty keeping the place amazingly comfortable even with the outside temp above 110 degrees. We only used one of the three bedrooms, but all of them are well furnished, comfortable and with a separate TV in each. Unfortunately (for us) this was a quick trip, and we did not have time to enjoy the wonderful pool (w/Spa) or the back yard, but we are certainly looking forward to enjoying them on our next trip to JTNP.The host is excellent. Very communicative with super rapid responses to all questions. The supplemental information on the area that was excellent. Most appreciated were the concise and simple check-out instructions, which included the (short) list of things to double check before leaving. We will definitely stay here again!

This property is beautiful, spacious, clean, with comfortable beds you will have good night sleeps in. The pool and hot tub is the highlight of the property for its size, cleanliness, and the beautiful surrounding. Another highlight of this property is how the owner has thought of everything you could possibly need! Thank you so much Skip and Monica! I recommend closing the front wing of the round table in the kitchen as it is tilted and things slide off.

Joshua Tree NP and Palm Springs

This house was great, especially the backyard oasis. We were a group of four (two couples 60+) who spent four days alternating between hiking Joshua Tree and exploring the Palm Springs area. While it was a drive to get to each, the house was conveniently located in the middle. We loved having the hot tub to come home to every afternoon. The star gazing in the backyard was also cool. Not dark enough to see the defined Milky Way, but still amazing. We highly recommend Pappy and Harriet’s, as well as The Tiny Pony and the Snake Bite Roadhouse.

We had a wonderful week-long stay at Hidden Gold. So sorry to leave. The pictures are accurate, but they can’t tell you what a great vibe it has. The patio/pool was our go-to area, and then back inside was easy, comfortable and welcoming. On a very nice, quiet street, but close enough to town and outdoor activities. Highly recommend.
