Bolder House · Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub, Boulders

Summary:

Boulders tumble all around Bolder House, in a private, boulder-filled corner of Joshua Tree 2 minutes from the village and 5 from the park's West Entrance. Spend the afternoon on the Cabo deck of the saltwater pool, half in the water and half in the sun. When the light fades, you light one of three propane fire pits, slip into the built-in hot tub and watch the stars over the rocks from this design-led home, two bedrooms plus a detached casita with the primary suite.



The Space:

Bolder House sits in a private, boulder-filled setting just outside Joshua Tree Village, designed by Wolfgang and Connie Pichler. Outside, a saltwater pool with a Cabo deck, a built-in hot tub, three propane fire pits and generous seating make the most of the rocks and views. Two bedrooms in the main house and a primary suite in a detached casita work well for couples traveling together or a small family who want to be minutes from the park.



-Highlights-

► Saltwater pool with a Cabo deck (a heating fee applies in cooler months)

► Built-in hot tub, with no heating fee

► Three propane fire pits

► Private, boulder-filled setting with desert views

► Private patio and generous outdoor seating

► Outdoor dining patio and propane BBQ

► Detached casita with the primary suite

► Bathtub

► Heating and air conditioning

► About 5 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park



-Outdoor Amenities-

The saltwater pool has a Cabo deck, a shallow ledge for lounging in the water, and the built-in hot tub sits close by for evening soaks. Three propane fire pits are spread around the property, with plenty of outdoor seating among the boulders. A private patio, an outdoor dining patio and a propane BBQ make it easy to spend the whole day outside. The property is not fully fenced; the last listing photo shows the property boundary.



-Living Area-

The main house centers on a living area with the two main-house bedrooms just off it. Heating and air conditioning keep it comfortable year-round.



-Kitchen and Dining-

The kitchen has the cooking basics, dishes and silverware you need for meals in, and the propane BBQ and outdoor dining patio are right outside.



-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-

Two bedrooms in the main house sit just off the living room and share a bathroom. The third bedroom is the primary suite in the casita, which is detached from the main house but right next to the front door, with its own ensuite bathroom.



-Surrounding Area-

Bolder House is about 2 minutes from Joshua Tree Village, with its cafés, shops and galleries, and about 5 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park. Pappy and Harriet's in Pioneertown and La Copine are each about 20 minutes away.

10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This is a VERY special house. It is set back against the rocky hills very close to Joshua Tree National Park. It is immaculate in its design and decor. We loved the quiet and the privacy. The main house has beautiful views and is very bright with natural light during the day. The pool was so warm (without heating it) you could barely tell you were getting in the water. We loved the variety of outdoor spaces. The rooms and beds were very comfortable and all the amenities were of the highest quality. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we also used the grill in the outdoor courtyard between the main house and the casita. I booked this house for our short honeymoon and it was perfect. We were so excited when we pulled up and then explored what the house had to offer. I highly recommend staying here. This house easily earns a five star rating. There was nothing to complain about and only things to rave about.

Peace and Quiet

The peace and quiet at the Bolder Housr property started to sink in as soon as we arrived. We set down our devices , soaked in the hot tub and enjoyed the night sky. What a great getaway! We did a night sky tour through Stargazing Joshua Tree near Pioneertown and recommend it highly.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had a wonderful stay. The house is situated very well and you do feel a sense of privacy even though there are homes around you. The decor was as the pictures showed. Very inviting. There are a lot of outdoor areas which add to the feel of the home. I would suggest an investment in higher quality towels as well as more towels available. I did request them and they would not accommodate. They were responsive but felt we had enough. For what we were paying, that was ridiculous. That is the one thing I would note that needs to change. A simple ask would have been so easy to accommodate and make your guests happy. That would have moved my 4 star to 5.
