LOCAL ADD-ON EXPERIENCES

From sound baths and in-home massages to stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Southern California, we've handpicked local vendors to match whatever mood you're in. Book a personal chef for a lazy night in, saddle up for a horseback ride, or take a guided hike through the National Park or other local trails. However you want to spend your time here, relaxing or adventuring, the desert (and our favorite locals) has you covered. Once your reservation is confirmed, let us know you are interested and we will connect you!



Guest Access:

The property and house is yours to roam and relax.



Getting Around:

We recommend traveling by car to explore Joshua Tree for maximum flexibility, as ride sharing services are unreliable. If you prefer not to drive, the local taxi service Lucky 777 is a dependable option. Our property offers free parking for up to four vehicles to ensure your car is kept secure during your stay.



Other Things to Note:

3:00PM Check-In: We'd love for you to check in before 8pm so you have plenty of daylight to settle in and get comfortable before dark.

Guest Policy: We only allow the number of guests listed as the maximum occupancy for this property, so any additional day guests must be requested and approved in advance. No extra overnight guests are permitted beyond those included in your reservation.



Watch your Step: This desert land holds onto bits of its past, so you may spot the occasional rusty object or piece of glass in the yard, please wear shoes anytime you're outside. You'll also be sharing the landscape with local snakes and scorpions. They want nothing to do with you, so if you see one, just back away calmly and quietly



Wood Burning Fires: We do not permit wood-burning fires anywhere on the property at any time, including in fire pits or fireplaces, due to the high risk of wildfire in our area. This policy is strictly enforced for the safety of our guests, neighbors, and the surrounding landscape,.



Desert Critters: Please keep doors closed while entering and exiting, curious critters will let themselves in given the chance. Desert wildlife is part of what makes this area special, expect sightings of jackrabbits, tortoises, roadrunners, quail, and lizards. You may also spot coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, or occasionally a bobcat or mountain lion. Most just want their space, so it's best to give them yours.



Camera/ Decibel Monitor: This property has forward-facing exterior security cameras, but there are no cameras anywhere inside the home. We also use noise decibel monitors indoors to help avoid disturbing neighbors. These only measure sound levels and never record audio.

Peaceful, beautiful home close to town and park

This house was perfect for our family of 4 plus grandma. We had more than enough space and gorgeous views of the surrounding mountains and of the sunrise and sunset over the desert. The hot tub overlooking Joshua trees and other desert flora was a huge hit. Also very convenient location, just a few minutes from downtown and from the park entrance. Would definitely stay again!

Excellent stay

Perfect place for a weekend with friends. Very clean and comfortable, well stocked kitchen, A/C, jacuzzi and fire pit were easy to use. The best part was lounging around in the back where there's gorgeous native plants and a lot of wildlife appear -- quails, rabbits, chipmunks, hawks & lots of other birds. Super close to the park and the main road, management was very friendly and responsive in their emails. I would love to stay here again!

Just what we needed

This property was very convenient for visiting Joshua Tree National Park. My family enjoyed our stay, and it was an excellent place to come back to after hiking all day. It has a beautiful yard where we saw Hummingbirds and tons of other wildlife. Was a little hard to find when we arrived very late since the street sings are short and the road is sandy, but it was well lit and welcoming when we arrived. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean. We would happily stay again.

This property was so much more than I imagined. The photos from the listing don’t do it justice. The master bedroom and bathroom are huge and quite lovely. We were a family of 7 and had plenty of room in the house. The back and front yard are peaceful areas to relax and listen to nature. The property was near the National Park and we are already talking about our next visit. We will definitely book this property again.

Amazing stay in Joshua Tree!!

Our family of 5 (kids ages 5, 13 and 15) LOVED our stay at this awesome property! More then enough room, we loved the living room/kitchen layout making it super easy to all be together while making meals, and the hot tub and fire pit were the definite hits!! Great location - about 10-15 minutes to the park entrance. And one of my favorite things was the very easy check out process!! IMO it is such a bummer when there is a lengthy list of things to do before leaving a VRBO and having that be the final “taste in your mouth”, but the check out process for this home was VERY minimal and I was so grateful!!! We would definitely stay here again!!!!

Beautiful Home and Ideal Location

My family of four including my 11-year-old and my 17-year-old stayed at this spacious and beautiful home. The gardens are so lovely, and it was a very convenient location for heading into town and also for driving into Joshua Tree. We would definitely stay here again. One thing to note though is that the dishwasher soap container was not opening reliably, so you may need to hand wash depending on when this gets repaired. It wasn't a big issue for us. Communication with the property management was friendly, prompt and reliable.

Some issues, overall okay

Really cute house and great location… just several issues. When I arrived (30 min after check in time) there were several maintenance and cleaning people there, trying to remedy a sewage overflowing broken toilet. They cleaned up well, but it ended up being still broken and unusable, thus we were down to one toilet. No communication from Host prior to arrival about this. The ice and water dispenser in the fridge was broken and that was annoying. Had to go buy that. The door to the bedroom was ill fitting and woke the whole house up when opened or closed. The glass shower door didn’t close properly and felt like it would break when opening/closing. The propane for the fire pit was empty. Good location. Comfy beds. Clean. Cute decor. Well equipped kitchen. Just issues that need to be resolved.
