We had a great stay at AutoCamp Joshua Tree. The front desk is available 24 hours, and they were…read morevery helpful when we arrived late. The Airstream was clean and comfortably fit a family of 4-5, including kids. There was a grill available, and they provided cooking utensils and a cast-iron pan. You just need to bring your own charcoal. We used Walmart delivery for supplies, which made everything very easy. The location is about 30 minutes from the park and convenient for driving back and forth. They offer complimentary coffee and tea in the morning, and bikes are available to use. They provide paper towels, toilet paper, and bath towels, with more available if needed. I would recommend staying here again.

We enjoyed our stay, but a word of warning if you drive an EV: there are only 5 charging spaces…read moreavailable, and two are set aside for disabled access. They have 5 hour limits and charge very very slowly. Auto Camp is in the middle nowhere and with many drivers coming from LA they really need to improve their car chargers. Another disappointment is that the website indicates you can buy chicken, salmon and pizza to cook at your campsite but only pizza was available during our stay.

I ordered a chicken banh mi, a sandwich in a freshly-made toasted French baguette with sliced…read morechicken, pickled carrots, daikon radish, cilantro, and large jalapeno slices, and more. It was delicious. It was a banh mi sandwich that is not just one of those, "It's good for a small town," but really genuinely good and well-prepared. The sandwich was about $13, if memory serves. Whatever sauce they had on it was also delicious, and the sandwich was filling. The restaurant is a very large, airy, comfortable space in back of Rite Aid and Aldi, and is a pleasant space. The place also has coffee, bagels, croissants, bagel sandwiches, poke, and pho, along with numerous kinds of tea (milk tea, Thai tea, Matcha tea). The pho and bagels I saw other people eating looked delicious. The people who worked there were very friendly.

The pho was decent, but I like the broth at Pho Nuts 29 more. Plus the noodles were chopped up…read morewhich was interesting. They also forgot the bag of bean sprouts/lime/cilantro/jalapeños for the second bowl of pho. But, with only two pho spots in the high desert, can beggars be choosers? Vibes were nice inside though, with a lounge area with a stage for performances that you can also eat at while chillin' on some really comfy couches and chairs. Might have to meet up with friends here sometime for random hangs without having to cook. They also get a star for the nice lady working the register.

Came with pickled onions, a pickled jalapeño half and lemon. They were covered in a most delicious salsa and spicy too. They're piled high on 2 street taco sized tortillas each. So much I easily split them and made 4 tacos. I also had the freshly made chicharrones with the same spicy salsa. I believe it's habanero based. The place has great atmosphere. Diner on one side and dive bar looking on the other side. The diner side is dark and dimly lit, it's really cool looking. And they have different retro radios sitting on each diner table. Service has always been top notch and tonight was no difference and we were served surprisingly quick. From the host to the server and everyone else we saw I can't say enough about the service.

Their scoops are a decent size, so one scoop for each of my kids was plenty. I really enjoyed my drink - wonderful flavor coming through. It was so good that even my boys liked it. Kale! There weren't any other customers, but it was chilly outside. They also sell snacks and they have a little quarter vending machine, which is a nice touch. Plenty of parking. I'm a fan!

Normally, I would have been completely disappointed, but the suite at The Bungalows was enough to make up for the loss. Everything was set up for comfort and convenience. The sofa was even comfortable enough that i chose to sleep on it instead of sharing the King bed with sister. Everything was precisely thought out, from kitchenware to bathrobes! Their custom app streamlined the check-in/check-out process and the property manager was only a text message away. The facility is minutes from "civilization" with restaurants, shopping, gas stations, etc. The only issue we had was the noisy air conditioning unit in the bedroom. It made a godawful noise every time it kicked on. This was brought up in previous reviews so hopefully it will be addressed before our next stay. I am so looking forward to staying here again. We plan on extending our group and reserving multiple rooms on our next visit.

The bungalow itself was thoughtfully designed -- clean, modern, and very comfortable. Loved the natural light, cozy seating area, and the overall desert-modern aesthetic. The bathroom was well done and felt spa-like, and everything was laid out in a way that made the space feel calm and uncluttered. The property was quiet and relaxing, especially in the evenings, and check-in was smooth and easy. Great spot to unwind after a long day of hiking or exploring the area.

Then when I filled out the forms, they had me sign off on $89-$179 additional if I wear contacts. I would imagine at a lot of people who have glasses prescriptions use contacts, I really think they should've mentioned this to me on the phone when I asked for the cost of the appt. Even when I first sat down with the (very nice) tech to ask specifically how much it was gonna cost, she said she didn't know until we did the exam. They were essentially saying, 'Will it be what you booked it as, or will it be double? We don't know!'

Kind Cabineer has been managing my vacation rental in Lower Moonridge in Big Bear Lake since…read moreDecember 2023. It's been booked continuously from the start! I'm so glad I went with them instead of self-managing. Their super host status and many great reviews on Airbnb really raised the profile of my new listing. I'm completely blown away with how good they are at their job. Professional & organized & really great at handling the guests. I'm very detail oriented and so are they. They always make sure everything is repaired, and running smoothly. So good with communication. I went through extensive research to find a good management company for my beloved home that I spent 2 years meticulously remodeling. I have several friends in the area with vacation rentals who have tried bigger management companies and it's been a nightmare. Another friend self-manages and she's had 1/2 the amount of bookings as my property, and it's so much work for her. I'm an interior designer, and I really appreciate how thoughtful they are about the aesthetic of each of the cabins in their collection. Very tasteful! They had so many helpful recommendations to get my home rental ready, and were attentive and available from the start.

They re-imagined my cabin with a new design and décor to appeal to those who seek a peaceful nature loving retreat. Starting with a mood board, sourcing unique furniture, linens, décor and plants they personally added their own finishing touches to make it a perfect addition to their Kind Carbineer Cabin collection. During the re-design phase of the cabin, Jessica and Sean visited multiple times to check in and work alongside us during this process. They also took the time to shop and curate décor at antique markets and vintage shops to give the cabin that extra touch. When it came to getting the cabin ready, Sean was there with all the tools and 2 hands to help out! Setting up the supply shed with all the linens, kitchen ware, guest toiletries, paper goods, etc. etc. was a breeze because of his experienced team. Jessica and Sean staged the cabin and took photos of the cabin for the Airbnb listing. The cabin was ready and bookable November 2021 and we were instantly fully booked for the holidays. Jessica and Sean went the extra mile in adding a real Christmas tree and holiday décor to the cabin - guests were so excited! Guests continue to review my cabin as a 5 star stay, and rave about the specially curated cabin décor and outstanding communication and hospitality from Jessica and Sean. Kind Cabineer has firsthand expertise in the Big Bear market and years of experience in revenue management to determine the best price for me as owner to maximize my profits. Their Super-host status and consistent 5 star reviews for my cabin has allowed me to feel reassured and trust that they will deliver and exceed guests expectations. Kind Cabineer offers full service property management ranging from reliable and consistent cleaning crews, expert handymen, re-stocking supplies, to accurate monthly billing and timely invoicing. We are so delighted with their design and creativity we have hired them for interior design for our next endeavor in Coachella Valley. Jessica and Sean have made the property management partnership easy and enjoyable, and I am proud to have my cabin be a part of their Kind Cabineer collection!
