    What a beautiful and absolutely energizing property. I booked a night for my birthday and immediately regretted not booking more days once I stepped foot onto the grounds, I immediately felt the energy and calmness of the land. I would highly recommend booking at least three days in order to fully grasp all that it has to offer.

    4.5 stars. I stayed here with a friend back In July for two nights. I had never heard of this place and thought I got "stuck with the last resort" as I ran out of houses to book due to not planning ahead. But I was pleasantly surprised at how cool this place was. There are only two units so it's perfect in the time of social distancing. That said, be prepared to be somewhat isolated. I initially planned on traveling by myself but was joined by a friend at the last-minute, which was a blessing. Otherwise, I would have felt a little uneasy being all by my lonesome in this house in the middle of nowhere. Rooms are adequately-sized and has all of the amenities of a rental that you would need. If they don't have it, you can just contact the owners to ask for something. The shared spaces are also really neat and photo-worthy. I love the unit's outdoor tub and bed and general space, and once you see it, you'll definitely recognize it from some photoshoots or Instagram. The weekend we were there was an amazing time to see the heavens (between Neowise and six planets aligning). I loved being able to just stay on the outdoor bed, drink wine, and stargaze. The main purpose of my trip was to reflect and bond with my friend, and SS helped make that happen. Would definitely come back.

    I went to my daughters wedding here such a beautiful place and you will have the most beautiful pictures ever they keep their grounds so spectacular even though the area where you dance is small it's big enough. they have a rooms for the bridal party separate rooms I thought that was nice. These Romans were actually living quarters not just a place for you to get ready you can stay at sacred grounds where are you are getting married I thought that and itself was awesome. They were very accommodating . They allowed you to bring in a lot of your own stuff you weren't stuck to their catering like most places and they had beautiful kitchen with everything you needed in there to cook the food I have the food catered at the location that was also different and awesome. I even lost a very expensive in memory earring there and thanks to Keith I think he's the owner he kept my number and he found my earring amazingly enough and called me. It's amazing that he had my phone number and that they found my earring two months later to me that means the angels look over this place. this place not only is a great place to have a wedding the people there have integrity and great morals and what a great place to have a wedding when the people in charge have this type of great character. The bridal suite if you will ....,,,,everything is outside it's 1000 degrees getting married there in the summer but it's so beautiful the tub is outside it's so romantic it's just a great place to have a wedding this set up is nice great desert wedding location with a great staff. If you are thinking about a place that is different and you like that desert life that's not to rocket you have the view of our gorgeous California mountains and nature sacred Sands is the place to have your wedding.

    From the moment my now-husband and I visited Sacred Sands, we knew it was what we were looking for in a wedding venue. We continued to shop around, but every other place we saw, we thought how it stacked up to Sacred Sands and nothing else could compare. This place is simply gorgeous, so relaxing, and provides a perfect backdrop for a wedding (or even just a desert getaway). One of the big reasons we decided to go with Sacred Sands is because of Scott + Steve, the owners. They were so calm and organized, and we really wanted to keep our wedding day fun and no-stress so it seemed like a great fit. They were responsive to emails (of which there were many, both from us and from my parents) and helped keep everything running smoothly on the day of the wedding. I also loved that the place didn't require a lot of decorating. Neither of us had the time to spend endless nights on DIY projects, so it was important to have a place that looked beautiful on its own. The desert landscape is so lovely, and the tasteful decor they have really sealed the deal. They were also generous and provided us with tables for desserts, the guest book, etc. We loved our wedding, and know that our guests loved it as well! Thank you Scott + Steve for such a wonderful day.

    Incredibly zen. My husband and I came here for a weekend get away about two weeks ago. When you walk into the beautifully decorated rooms, the scent of eucalyptus fills the air and you are immediately transported to a sanctuary. Each room has a bed, shower with two heads (plus two jets), it's own private patio, outdoors bed, and jacuzzi. The hosts Steve and Scott are amazing hosts and great cooks. (Breakfast pancake soufflé, yum!) The entrance to Joshua Tree is just a mile away. Perfect for a quiet and romantic get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. We spent the days hiking through Joshua Tree, enjoying the beauty of the park, and the evenings eating dinner in nearby towns, sipping wine in the jacuzzi, and staring at the stars. Bring your own wine/champagne. They have a mini fridge for your beverage equipped with chilled glasses and wine bottle opener. Love this place!

    My daughter and now son-in-law had their fantastic wedding at Sacred Sands in October (sorry for the belated review). We began the search for a venue very early and basically made the decision after our first glimpse of this very special, intimate, and aptly named property. Our instincts proved correct...planning was easy with Scott and Steve who are delightful people. We were given access to the venue several times during the process and S&S were responsive to all our emails. The contract was straight forward and their vendor recommendations were extremely helpful. The actual wedding day was everything we could have hoped for and more... an enchanting sunset ceremony amidst the desert surrounds, cocktails and dining under a magical full moon, and 100 very happy people who danced the night away with the help of our great DJ. I/we highly recommend Sacred Sands and Scott and Steve...our guests raved about the wedding for days and everyone had a blast! Thank you SS and S&S for a marvelous, unforgettable day!

    My friends and I really enjoyed our two night stay here. We stayed in the three bed/two bath home…read more The home was very cozy, clean, and comfortable with all necessary amenities. There was plenty of space to hang out, a full kitchen with fridge, a cowboy style pool, and a gas grill, if you're the type to make dinner yourself. They were very quick to respond to questions while we were there. While we didn't use their room service or fire pit, all of those things are a nice extra touch. It was also easy to let ourselves in and out with the automatic lock, so we never had to worry about keys or being locked out. I would stay here again if I were to go back! Lovely stay.

    Man I wish I knew where I could write a review for others, but I went through booking and I'm not…read moresure how that works. So here I will explain and give my honest input. I planned to arrive earlier but I was late :( though it seemed like everyone was in bed already we had the nice host come up to us and guide us on checking in. He let us know that we are IN FACT able to park the car on the drive way close to the location so you don't have to carry your stuff to your spot.. designated parking in my opinion is actually very smart and very thoughtful because who wants to see a bunch of parked cars in such a nice view?! So I got the tiny home container.. and let me just say IT WAS THE BEST THING I HAD EVER DONE! I actually didn't know which one of the containers I booked but the one I got was the best one! Everything and I mean everything was included. Fridge, microwave, coffee maker, AND ac!!!! The roof top? BEST FREAKING PART! Watching the sunset was amazing solo time. As well as watching all the stars you never get to see in the city. The bathroom had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Towels were provided, pillows and sheets. I mean these people thought of it all! They are very clear about their instructions and how they want things done upon checkout and it was smooth.. I guess my ONLY "thumbs down" would be the center pool. I personally liked it.. it's a shallow sit down cool down tub and it works for when you just want to dive and sun bathe. Other than that, I have nothing negative to say. I really enjoyed my stay. And if you're someone who doesn't go camping or even glamping, don't stay in a yurt? When it's hot it's HOT when it's cold it's COLD.. it's not rocket science. Choose wisely if you want to enjoy your stay and really unwind. Overall, I 150% will be back and stay here in case I need a moment to reset my brain.

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

Never before have I been so blown away by how the stars, and Evelyns reading of them, could tell me so much about my history, my growth, and my future. The most mind blowing aspect of my last reading was Evelyn told me about a date nine months in the future that something would change for me and that I should follow that path. I marked that date on my calendar and when it arrived an actual massive shift and possibility opened up for me. I almost couldn't believe it. Evelyn told me that the reading said to "move forward with the opportunity". It was a big risk but since the stars were literally aligned I took the leap and couldn't be happier that I did. Thanks so much Evelyn for the assistance and the direction. So powerful! Truly makes me have a deep deep belief in the stars and especially Evelyn's interpretation of them.

Obviously when one reaches out for this kind of service, it's already a bit of an unknown. Best guidance to Evelyn in her new practice is that she honor returning calls and responding to emails; even if very busy, that's just good business... as well as considerate. Guess compassion and respectful communication just "wasn't in the cards". Thank you.

    The following review is for the Luna Mesa House:…read more From the outside, this place looks like a run-of-the-mill desert bungalow. The inside, however, resembles an IKEA show room, albeit much more sparsely decorated and functional. Here are the features that we liked: + Pet friendly + Hot tub (already warmed up for us upon arrival) + TV, DVD player, iPod docking station + Free WiFi + Hammock + Well provisioned kitchen (so you don't have to eat out) + Lots of books, DVDs, and games + Sofa that folds out into a second bed + Close to Joshua Tree National Park Here's what we disliked about the place: - A tad pricey ($200 a night) - No closet to hang your clothes - It's located off a bumpy dirt road Overall, the Luna Mesa House is a really nice vacation rental.

    This review is for the Villa Rocosa house…read more We stayed at Villa Rocosa for 5 days and it wasn't enough! I never thought I would love the desert, so we planned a short getaway. We ended up loving the place and Joshua Tree park, so we stayed longer. Villa Rocosa seems the perfect size for a weekend escape for two. The layout is very open - a bar separates the kitchen from the living room which doubles as bedroom with a Murphy bed - and the living room wall is built into a formation of rocks that bring the outside in. It gives you a sense of being in the Mojave (with the comfort of a Swamp cooler!) There is a small TV and a selection of movies on DVD, although you'll probably want to spend your time watching the small animals outside (like the curious Greater Roadrunner who came within a few feet of my wife as she was sunbathing...) And there is free WiFi, so you can post all your pics of Joshua Tree in the evening after your hikes :) The small refrigerator was roomy enough to stock food for the entire time we were there (we only ate out once - at Royal Siam... decent Thai food). There are grocery stores, a Walmart, etc. and Gas/Convenience stores nearby. The entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is just a few miles up the road, so it is very convenient for any hiking or off-road trips you might want to do. The dirt road leading to the house is definitely rocky/bumpy at certain points. In our Jeep it was nothing, but if you have a smaller car, you'll probably feel it. The house and the area are very quiet... and the stars at night, amazing! This is definitely a great spot for getting away from it all. We took advantage and did some songwriting. But regardless of what you want to do, it's definitely a quiet little place to get away and relax. Over all, a very good experience. We like it so much, we've already booked our next trip to discover the Sky House! (...and hit the dusty Joshua Tree trails we couldn't get to this last trip).
