Summary: The Ocotillo was exactly what we were looking for when we visited Joshua Tree. It's a lovely, relaxing property very near the park. We enjoyed hiking the isolated desert around the house and never saw a single person. We all enjoyed the Jacuzzi and cowboy pool. Nights were especially lovely on the back porch. Highly recommend!
