A friend and I stayed here for a brief writing retreat, and we loved it. It's a beautiful, clean house that has clearly been designed with the guests' comfort in mind. The beds are comfortable, the windows have room-darkening curtains, and the kitchen is well stocked with extras. And the art! Every wall is covered with fabulous paintings and photos! We listened to records, wrote, went for long walks, and generally had a wonderful time.
Netter Vermieter, einfache Kommunikation (antwortete superschnell auf SMS), liebevolle Inneneinrichtung (BĂŒcher, Schallplatten, DVDs....), mitten in der WĂŒste (Hallo, Hase! Hallo Klapperschlange), HĂ€ngematte, separater Schuppen mit Waschmaschine und Trockner. Sehr praktisch, sehr gemĂŒtlich. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
We were very happy with our stay. The house was clean, well appointed with all necessities, comfy beds and great art. It felt like we were staying at a friends home instead of a rental. thank you for sharing your home and providing such a nice place to get away
simply saying we enjoyed our stay is an understatement. The space was clean and perfectly decorated. We looked for weeks for the best option for our family to enjoy the riches of Joshua tree. We are so happy we chose slow poke because it allowed us the opportunity to move slow! Leaving our busy lives in Los Angeles slow poke was the best option.We look forward to returning. The only thing I would change about our stay, is the lock at the front gate. The combination is a bit hard and a little time-consuming. I would suggest a digital lock to make it easier to come in and out of the property. Other than that everything was amazing canât wait to return!
Great place to crash on a weekend getaway to Joshua Tree! Place is solid for a couples weekend or a group of friends. If you plan on staying here, know itâs about a 5-10 minute drive into the town where restaurants etc are located. If youâre planning to come in later in the day, Iâd recommend stopping and eating in town before checking in at Slowpoke. We went to the Joshua Tree Saloon and it was a nice dinner to an already great day
We were in Joshua Tree for a half marathon and this was such a lovely place to stay the weekend and be able to visit the park from. Nice and cozy home with a great record collection as well!,
We were only in town for 24 hours for a bday party. Used to the home to get ready, make dinner and sleep. It was perfect and very cute and comfortable.
What a sweet and wonderful getaway. Everything you need is there. Exceeded our expectations!!!
This was a birthday getaway for me and my mom since we both have our birthdays in June. We were completely blown away at how charming the place was and how EVERY detail was thought out and executed! All we needed to bring was ourselves and our clothes. The smallest of things has already been taken care of by Mark and Esther (the owners). You have the sweetest place with a nestalgic touch and the nature all around you. We could not have asked for more. Email replies were super quick and they check in / check out was super easy. My mom is STILL talking about our stay at the Slow Poke and that make my heart so happy. Highest star rating for this place and to Mark and Esther!!! Love, Love, LOVE it!!!!!
This home was incredible. Super quaint and cute and amazing artwork everywhere! Very fresh and modern with all the things in the kitchen and around the house that you could possibly need. I would totally book this place again, but my only complaint is that the floor was really really dirty. I don't think the cleaning crew cleaned the floors at all...they were layered with dirt. Outside of that, the house was impeccable and felt very clean. I would come back here again.
My boyfriend and I absolutely enjoyed every moment of our stay at Slowpoke. We had everything we needed and more! The art and music selection was fantastic for a comfortable and relaxing weekend, and the bed and furnishings were cozy and chic. Loved it!
Slowpoke was a great homebase to explore Joshua Tree. We enjoyed the quiet yard to soak in the sun. And the beds and rooms with separate temperature regulation were very comfortable. The well curated vinyl collection made the perfect soundtrack to our stay. Mark, will you please make me a mix, or even recommended artists? Would enjoy that so much.
We had such a wonderful stay. M and E were great hosts and the home is absolutely adorable and very comfortable. The little trinkets, great art and fabulous album collection were an added bonus. We will be back! Thank you so so much
Slowpoke was a very special spot. A desert oasis, The house had everything you would need. Record player was a lot of fun at night. And a lot of great art. Great location , with a Joshua tree in the back yard. If i ever travel to Joshua tree again, i would love to stay at Slowpoke

We stayed two nights at the Slow Poke. The property has everything you could possibly need including desert wildlife guidebooks, chilled glasses, and amazing coffee. The beds were also extremely comfortable. The record player added an unexpected pop of nostalgia and we used it to torment our 14-year-old son because hearing those classics again resulted in spontaneous dancing and singing from his aging parents. He did, however, enjoy exploring the five acres and all of its wild creatures. Thank you so much!
