The Neighborhood:

Monument Manor is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the Joshua Tree area given its immediate proximity to the park and breathtaking vistas of the area’s signature Craggy Mountains and desert plants.



When you’re ready for some outdoor adventure, Joshua Tree National Park’s West Entrance is just 2 minutes away by car.

• Perhaps close your day with the food, drinks and music offered at the rustic Joshua Tree Saloon



Up for a day trip? Don’t miss these area highlights - they’re worth the drive.

• Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum (15-minute drive) - As far from a stuffy gallery as you can imagine, this outdoor sculpture garden contains a unique collection of folk-art.

Getting Around:

Many roads in the high desert are dirt, so please take it slow. While a car is required to get around, a four wheel drive car is not, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain.



Other Things to Note:

✹ SELF CHECK-IN: Easy self-check-in is available via the Yale keypad on the front door - a personalized code will be sent to you prior to check-in.



✹ EVENTS & COMMERCIAL PHOTOSHOOTS: Not permitted without prior approval, applicable permit, and additional fees.



✹ SOCIAL MEDIA: If you plan on sharing your experience on social media, please mention us!



✹ CELL SERVICE: Cell phone service availability and quality in the high desert varies by service provider. This is particularly true in the more remote areas of Joshua Tree, Pipes Canyon, and Pioneertown. Please be prepared by enabling WiFi calling or downloading a VOIP program.



✹ ROAD CONDITIONS: Many roads are dirt, so please take it slow. A four-wheel drive car is not required, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain



✹ CLEANING PROTOCOLS: As the only professional management company in the area, we have always maintained exceptional cleaning standards. We pay above the living wage standards; 100% of your cleaning fee is paid to the cleaners (i.e. no profit to us), and we insist on a professional level of cleaning between guests. We love the High Desert for a lot of reasons - including the open spaces, lack of crowds, and dry weather that we believe make it a safe place to visit.

The home is adorable and has a breathtaking view of the mountains and feels very cozy. In such a small place, it’s filled with everything you could need - even a washer and dryer. The Weber grill outside was great too. We didn’t use the hot tub but the outdoor shower and all the linen for it was a nice touch.
Beautiful views out back

A lovely desert escape. Well appointed. Very comfortable bed. Peace and quiet but still very close to both the park and town. Looking forward to coming back.

As close to perfect as you can get. The home was absurdly close to the park entrance. We did not use the outdoor shower (but it looked inviting). The Hot Tub was great. The home was spotless and decorated beautifully. There were games, nice fluffy towels, bath robes, and a sleeping area and food and water dishes for your dog (which we didn't use but it a thoughtful addition). The BBQ, TV, WiFi, clothes dryer, hot water, coffee maker (with coffee) all worked flawlessly. Communication with the host was excellent (one or two emails were answered within 10 minutes late at night). I would rent this place again in a heartbeat. Just be aware that there is no stove in the kitchen. You need to use the supplied electric fry pan or the outdoor BBQ. There is a microwave and a top of the line toaster oven.

SPECTACULAR!

The home and environment were spectacular - perfect for a weekend getaway. The house itself is pristine, comfortable, peaceful, and beautiful. It is just a stone’s throw from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. The views from the home were amazing. The hosts provide thoughtful amenities such a throw blankets, dog bed, outdoor furniture, and a very comfortable bed. We recommend this home for any couple looking for a weekend getaway. Tim and Pam

Perfect spot for exploring Joshua Tree National Park

We loved everything about this property. The beautiful views, the spotless, attractive furnishings, the excellent location near the West Entrance to Joshua Tree NP, and the overall charm of the house. It is well suited for a single or a couple and was exactly what we were looking for. We would book here again.

Perfect couples get away!

This place is the perfect small house getaway. Perfect for a couple. We brought our dog also. Location is exactly where we wanted to be. We can’t wait to go back. You can go for a hike straight out the door of the house and then come back for a soak in the jacuzzi.
