"An amazing stay! Would absolutely return. Well designed space. Comfy beds, great seating area. The kitchen is VERY well equipped. Everything from blender, electric kettle, airy fryer, etc Hot tub was a little tricky to get going but once we did it was nice! I brought my pup and they had bowls, a bed and even a blanket for her. Note: they don’t have an ice maker or ice trays so if you’re planning on making drinks, come prepared."

"My daughter and I had a great stay! Feb in Joshua Tree was perfect. Warm sunny days and cool evenings. The heated hot tub was a plus! Only regrets was not asking to heat the pool prior. And not having any other guests with us to enjoy this amazing property! Thank you again for making sure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable."

"We had a wonderful stay! It was exactly what we were looking for--something quiet and fun where we could have a restful, fun weekend. Our kids literally spent hours going back and forth from the hot tub to the plunge pool, we roasted 'smores over the firepit, the beds were super comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The big thing for me is how clean is was. SOOO CLEAN!! Not only that, it's about a 30 minute drive from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, which was breathtaking. Our only complaint was the weather! It was unexpectedly cold, but the fireplace was toasty and cozy. We would definitely visit again!"

"We stayed to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and we had an amazing time!! The house is both fun and relaxing. The amenities were awesome! It looks just like the pictures. Everything was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could need including an air fryer and ceramic pans. Whether you are going for a couples getaway, a family trip, or a friends trip, Retrograde Retreat is perfect!"

"If you're looking for a relaxing getaway with the family. The Retrograde Retreat is the place for you! Our stay was more than comfortable. The property is cozy, clean, spacious, and tastefully decorated with so many amenities. The owners truly thought of everything all sorts of guests can enjoy. My 3- year old daughter loved running around the backyard and was so happy exploring the house. We also loved that we were able to bring our dog. We would definitely come back with our family and recommend this Airbnb to all of our family and friends!"

"This place was amazing! We came for a weekend to celebrate my birthday with some friends and it was incredible. The star of the show is the outdoor setup! We wanted to spend the majority of the time outside, and it was absolutely lovely and had so much to do after we came home from the park for the day. We didn’t even have time to use all of the amenities! It was private and peaceful, and we had so much fun. Would 100% return— was a weekend to remember :)"

"What an amazing place. As soon as we arrived we did not want to leave. My kids had a blast in the backyard from the pools to the hot tub and movie night. We had such a great time we are already planning our next trip. Loved the outdoor grill our first night we got to grill and eat outside everything was so peaceful. Check in was super easy we had no issues and pretty close to a market and other stores."

"A true Joshua Tree experience. The park was amazing and entrance decently close by. Really enjoyed the container pool! Was nice to have the hot tub too for the cool desert nights. Hammocks were relaxing for star gazing. Beds were comfy. Went to the local Saloon recommended close by with the secret entrance and once again a funky JT experience we enjoyed."

"We stayed for a few days in the summer, and it was exactly what we needed. Pool was refreshing, and the outdoor hammocks and bed were great for star-gazing. We even enjoyed an outdoor movie with their projector and big screen. Highly recommend."

"This stay was wonderful, a 10 for the books. Our group was most excited for the amenities outside - but the inside was just as amazing. Homey. We would gladly book another trip here. Host was very responsive and attentive. Thank you for allowing us to create such a memorable trip here."

"We really enjoyed our stay at this house especially outdoor activities such as pool, jacuzzi, hammocks, BBQ, and s'more. The outdoor area is great for relaxing, and watching the stars, sunset and sunrise. The house was clean and nice. We will be back for sure!"

"My 6-year-old daughter loved this place, saying, "The pictures are nice, but the place is even better. I didn’t think there would be so much to do. I love this place. We should make our home like this!" As for my review, this Airbnb is absolutely stunning and has quickly become one of our favorite summer memories. The backyard layout was well thought out, with an incredible pool, amazing hammocks, and an outside grill with lighting and swings that added a personal resort touch. The dinner table by the kitchenette area, adorned with lights, created a delightful dining experience for the fams and I. The whole setup made us feel like we were in our own little resort. We enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace and stargazing from the bed. Although we didn't get to use the Jacuzzi, and the cowboy pool wasn't working during our stay, these minor issues didn't detract from the overall experience. The house was impeccably clean upon arrival, and the host was super responsive and friendly!"
