What a gem! Sacred sands is a beautiful and relaxing boutique hotel near Joshua Tree National Park…read more My boyfriend and I came here for a weekend trip a couple of weeks ago. We only stayed for one night but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Check-in instructions were sent via email and there's a code to unlock the room. The grounds are very pretty, perfect for a desert wedding or party. There are great views all around and there aren't any neighbors nearby. It looks like they own a lot of acreage nearby. The room we stayed in was the Onyx room. It was beautifully and thoughtfully decorated. There are lots of nice additions in the room to ensure you enjoy staying in from wine glasses, a wine fridge, record player with a record collection, bath salts, star gazing area outside with a mattress, and comfy robes and slippers to use during your stay. If it were warmer, I definitely would've tried out the outdoor tub and shower but it was too cold at night to even think about it. There's also a large community pool in the works. As mentioned earlier, this hotel is about a mile from the NP so it's an excellent choice for anyone going there. It's also not too far from town so you're not too far from stores and cafes. I am definitely planning on staying here again!

I don't even know where to begin. The team at Into the Woods truly saved our wedding. The day…read morebefore our big day, our original venue cancelled on us, leaving us heartbroken and scrambling. Within hours of reaching out, Into the Woods stepped in with open arms, compassion, and efficiency that I'll never forget. They didn't just give us a space--they gave us peace of mind when we felt like everything was falling apart. The staff went above and beyond to make sure every detail was cared for, and they treated us with so much kindness during one of the most stressful moments of our lives. Walking into the venue on our wedding day, it felt like everything had fallen perfectly into place, and it was only possible because of their dedication and generosity. I will forever be grateful for Into the Woods. Not only is the space beautiful, but the people behind it are truly extraordinary. If you're looking for a venue that doesn't just host weddings but genuinely cares about the people getting married, this is the place. They turned what could have been a disaster into the most beautiful day of our lives.

We stayed in Unit #3 for two nights in April and, unfortunately, it fell far short of our…read moreexpectations. Here's why I can only give it one star: Stale, musty room: On arrival the air felt heavy and the dishes were still dirty--guests are expected to wash, dry and put away every pot and plate before checking out. There's no housekeeping, no daily room service--this operates more like an Airbnb than a hotel. Worn furnishings: Several pieces showed visible wear, and the reading lamp above our bed hung loosely from its cord. Unwelcoming plunge pool: There are no chairs or loungers, it isn't heated, and with 45 mph winds whisking through the courtyard, our so-called "pool time" lasted about five minutes. Remote location: A 25-minute drive to downtown Palm Springs, surrounded by modest residential streets and few shops or restaurants. The only local gem--Cabot's Pueblo Museum--is worth the trip out, but don't expect dining or nightlife within walking distance. Constant high winds: We couldn't use the patio or outdoor seating at all. Everywhere else in the valley was calm, so it wasn't just seasonal. We would have happily taken a refund and rebooked closer to town--there are so many charming alternatives (Trixie Motel, Korakia, Tommy Bahama's Mira Monte). Unless you're on a Mid-Century Modern tour that includes Lautner's work, I'd suggest looking elsewhere. I was also very disappointed that we were expected to do dishes, take out trash, etc. This was not presented as an Airbnb style accomodation. Why are we paying a cleaning fee if all they are doing is swapping linens? We were super excited but very disappointed.

The owner Tracy is a crazy and deceptive. We stayed in Unit 4 4/23+24/2025 and she withheld $100…read morefrom our $250 "Damage Deposit" without communicating with us, giving any justification or notification. I happen to notice it on my credit card and texted her on 5/3. She was sneaky and sleazy about it, which I believe is because she has done this before and most people don't notice. It is fraudulent. When we texted her to find out why, she went on a rant about how lucky we are to have stayed there and said the kitchen floor was messy, the furniture had been moved and vase was on the floor. None of which are reason to charge a damage fee. When I sent videos of the AC leaking and told her and we had cleaned it up so the vase had to be moved to dry the furniture, and the kitchen floor was normal cleaning, she went ballistic trying to bully us into accepting the charges as "extra cleaning fees" and wrote literally, "I expect the unit returned exactly as it was found at the time of check in". I am not easily bullied and as a landlord myself and a person with an excellent rating on AirBnB, I know manipulation and scamming when I see it. They require the guests to wash the dishes by hand and put them back (so beware if you stay, because those dishes are not sanitary!) so we washed/dried every dish by hand and put it away. She said the towels were dirty, we never used the towels! She said the furniture was moved, we turned 2 chairs to face the couch so we could play cards! She has been nothing less than hostile and attacking when I attempted to reason with her about the charges. I filed a report with Better Business Bureau (see ID#:23291502) because I'm sure she has done this before and I'm not sure what recourse a person has against this kind of fraud. By her own description it was for cleaning towels, moping the floor and wiping down the couch, no damage was done that would warrant a Damage Deposit fee. She admitted it was an "extra cleaning fee". The first picture below is is the leaking AC unit I sent her telling her why the vase was moved. The rest are from the video she sent to me as her justification for keeping $100 of our damage deposit for the "moved furniture" (she is talking about is the chairs are turned towards the coffee table). The couch was a used old soft leather couch and had many natural scuffs when we got there, we did nothing to it. Take a look her video of the kitchen and tell me if you think we left it a mess? Seriously, BEWARE, she is stealing from guests because most won't go to the effort I have to try to prevent it. If you see this and she has done it to you please contact me.

From our first meeting, Gwen made sure we were taken care of -- from a detailed list of recommended vendors (all of whom were amazing), so check-ins as we got closer to our date, being available as my stress started to spike, her rockstar team who welcomed us and made sure we had everything we needed -- and most of all, the most magical backdrop for our special day. Rimrock was perfect. We had about 120 guests, which felt like the perfect size for us. There was enough parking for all (we did encourage carpooling and pre-booking taxis just to be sure). We had several of our friends stay on the ranch with us, which made the weekend even more special. We held a welcome dinner Friday night, with about 40-50 people -- Ranch staff made sure we had plenty of adult beverages while we enjoyed everyone's company. The Hatch House was lovely, and the perfect spot for me and my ladies to get our hair and makeup done before the ceremony. And the ceremony location -- pure magic. The venue naturally created so many beautiful photo opportunities for our guests, with that gorgeous sunset leaving everyone in awe. Gwen even offered to let us take some wedding photos with one of her horses! Not too hot or cold, but they had plenty of blankets for anyone who needed one. By the time it was over, my gratitude was endless -- Gwen, Eric and their team took such good care of us, and I felt so happy with every single moment. Five stars, highly recommend!!! Love you, Rimrock!!

Our cottage was clean, cute, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and fun weekend. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked and the bed was comfortable. It is situated in the middle of all these cool boulders you can climb for views of the sunrise and sunset. There is a fire pit and a table outside to enjoy the awesome desert night! This is not your typical boring house on a cul-de-sac. We felt like we were in our own little boulder world. The location of the ranch is perfect. There are stores down the street and the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is about 10 minutes away. Kiyomi is an awesome and friendly host! She knows so much about Joshua Tree and all the local events, since she and her husband have been there for years and years. They are so interesting and cool. You'll love them. We will definitely be back!

Our experience planning our wedding at DCR was honestly so easy and perfect that it seemed surreal…read more Only 2 months before our wedding we had to find a new venue and an assortment of new vendors, and luckily for us, not only was DCR available and able to accommodate a tour on short notice, Kiyomi knew a variety of local vendors and was able to make connections for us and even at one point was scouting vendor availability because she knew we were in a major time crunch! All while planning her own wedding, which was just two weeks before ours. Kiyomi was always quick to respond to our questions, incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful, and helped coordinate vendors and guests during our wedding weekend. As an added bonus, she and her husband Shane are amazing and fascinating people, and were a delightful addition to our wedding guest list. My friends and family enjoyed sitting around and swapping stories with them into the night just like they were old family friends. Furthermore, when it came time to check out, my new husband and I had less hands on deck than we anticipated, and were scrambling to clean but ended up checking out an hour late. The whole family was incredibly gracious and jumped in to help us pack and clean up. You can see for yourselves in the photos how expansive, intricate, and unique the venue is - you could walk the property 100 times and still notice new details you hadn't seen before. If you have the chance to visit or book as a venue you definitely should!

As soon as we visited Tumbleweed and met with Julie to discuss our vision, we knew it was the perfect place. The sprawling property has many different seating areas, space for game, indoor/outdoor space, and a nature walk for pictures that look as if you are in the middle of nowhere in the desert! There are so many different places to take BEAUTIFUL pictures, enjoy nature, and gather with friends and family. All of the furniture and decor provided is beautiful, modern, bohemian style that compliments the desert so well. The staff was incredible to work with to answer our MANY questions and coordinate our day flawlessly. During the planning process, we were able to visit the venue a few different times by ourselves, with our parents, and with our coordinator and the staff was always so welcoming, kind, and patient. The venue and staff are LGTBQ+ friendly and allowed us to convert the "male/female" bathrooms to "gender neutral" to accommodate all of our guests. Our family and friends all adored Tumbleweed and had such a fun time exploring the property, taking photos, and soaking in the beauty of the desert. I would highly recommend Tumbleweed Sanctuary, Garden, and Labyrinth for a wedding/ special event venue! I wish we could get married here again!! Photos: Eve Rox Photography

From the beginning to the end we had the best experience. The mansion has so much history, is perfect to accommodate multiple families with en suites, huge kitchen, many places to relax, and plenty to do. We had kids from ages 4 to 10. We thought we would run out of things for them to do. Not at all. The mansion is so huge, they had plenty of room to stretch out, the hills on the property provided for fun sledding and snowman building. The adults were either at the sauna, jacuzzi, kitchen, outside in the snow walking the 2 acres of property or just relaxing in one of the many comfy nooks. I highly recommend Edgewood Mansion for any type of event whether it's a birthday trip, family reunion, corporate retreat or any other purpose where you want to feel like you're at home, or provided for like a Queen. The location which is located higher up in the mountains is away from the traffic. The accommodations are immaculate and the concierge services provided by Chantal who was available to us 24/7 before we got there and during, was spot on. We catered instead of cooking which was so much easier on everyone so we could enjoy each other's company versus cooking. Chantal gave us choices and she had Mexican food delivered one night, Italian catered another and on New Years Eve we had a personal chef, Mike who is a master chef create the most delicious surf and turf dinner. We had piles of Alaskan king crab legs and the freshest, tastiest filet. Everything was provided. This was an amazing trip because of where we stayed, the owner Laura who was so accommodating and Chantal who was so helpful. Our friends have not stopped thanking us for coordinating this trip. We all got to spend time together with the kids together and not feeling overwhelmed because everything was at our fingertips. Thank you to Laura, Chantal, Irvin and the maintenance crew, Sherri our housekeeper and the magical Edgewood Mansion.
