Great location and communication!

We had such a great time! There was one slight on the first day we checked in. We’d received a notice on the door about the water being shut off due to a leak from the city. After a quick text Greg was on top of it! They obviously didn’t know about the notice. Especially for a Friday night he made sure we got everything fixed as water was crucial to anyone’s stay. He was very accommodating and checked in to make sure we were good. The house is beautiful and we felt so at home. And it’s just 15 minutes from the park! We’d definitely stay here again. 10/10.

A Grand Adventure at Terrapin Oasis for My 40th BDAY!

Well Let me tell you something... Terrapin Oasis is where you need to be if you are vacationing out in the desert of joshua tree or yucca and beyond. We had the most epic time frolicking around their wonderful space of a place. The backyard had everything you would need to relax including a hot tub (that was already heated) a pool that was really fun to cold plunge in and then run back to the tub. The house was spotless and was furnished beautifully. We loved digging through their record collection and playing some absolute gems. The beds were really comfortable and they even had a pack n play for my 3 month old which came in handy as our bassinet we brought wasn't doing the trick. baby slept almost 12 hours each night!!!!!! They had amazing recommendations for things to do and places to eat at. We especially loved The Tiny Pony for great cocktails and food!!! Highly recommend this place!!!!
