Featuring a large master + en-suite bath & stunning views from every window! With a second full bathroom off the main hall, it's the ideal setup for a small group/gathering. You'll find the small kitchen fully stocked for cooking up a storm. Cozy up to the wood burning fireplace in the LR or enjoy a fire under the stars.

With unobstructed views of mountains & the park, you'll find the front porch a perfectly serene place to take in some sun, dine at the picnic table or lounge on the hanging chairs.

This place it awesome

You are getting exactly what the Listing shows. Well appointed, big bedroom, fire pit, grill, a place to star gaze. Would highly recomment staying here. We were actually able to walk into the park from the house, it's that close. One note, which is only a note, the house is located on the road to one of the entrances to joshua tree. As such, there is more traffic than you would expect and some car lights going by as you are enjoying the scenery/camp fire. If you are looking for a completely secluded get away, this may not be for you, but if you are looking for a place with quick access to both Joshua Tree National Park and to town, this is a great place. Would stay again 100%

Beautiful cozy cottage within feet of the west entrance at Joshua Tree!

My wife and I added a day onto our trip to Joshua Tree, so we spent only one night here but we very much enjoyed it! The king bed was absolutely lovely and helped us rest up for our long travel home, and the front outdoor sitting area was a great reprieve from our long day hiking in the park. This is mere feet away from the west entrance to JTNP so getting in and out is effortless (you could even walk/bike!). However, that does mean there is near constant vehicle traffic throughout the day. The pictures don't really show it, but this listing is right on the road, with your sitting area facing it directly. We didn't find this too bothersome, and it certainly didn't bother us while we were inside, however you do have to come expecting to listen to cars very frequently during the day while you're sitting outside. The inside is very clean an cozy and thoughtfully decorated, and absolutely feels bigger than it is. It really is a great use of the space and we would absolutely stay again! The stars are beautiful here; much better than you'd see closer to town.

HI

Very convenient to Joshua Tree, quite comfortable, excellent decor and setting.Three small suggestions. 1 cold water tap in bathroom is a trickle, probably a valve problem, upper or lower. Easily fixable. Other taps fine.2 one overhead light seems out (switch didn’t work)3 would have appreciated access to washer/dryer if available. No biggie, we managed.Overall very nice, would go again.

We enjoyed our stay at Joshua Tree. Things were very cute and cozy. The artwork by the owner was a charming touch. The kitchen worked out well. We appreciated having filtered water, a water heater, and a coffee grinder in the morning. We fixed lunches and one dinner and had everything we needed. It was too windy during out stay to have a fire which we had been looking forward to. This was a great spot for enjoying Joshua Tree, especially if you don't want to be near town for meals.

Nice & Convenient

It’s a little gem of a house… updated, but has the soul of a classic JT casita. Super comfortable bed, nicely stocked kitchen (Utenils, spices & oils, etc.). One thing to note is that the house is actually situated close to the main road — it’s not exactly out in the dark night sky as cars do drive by regularly. Great hosts and perfect communication.

Rustic homestead at doorstep of JTNP

We really enjoyed our stay at this home. Located 1/2 a mile from the West entrance to Joshua Tree NP and about 3 miles from the main road going through Joshua Tree, CA (Route 62), it could not be more convenient. The home was well furnished, clean and air conditioned. Plenty of pots/pans/cookware as well as some key spices and condiments for cooking. Two bathrooms (one with a shower and one with a tub/shower) were nice. Outdoor spaces to sit on three sides of the home which was great depending on whether you wanted the heat from the sun or not. This was a very nice desert retreat.

Amazing property minutes away from the Joshua Tree Park entrance. Two full bathrooms and sizable master bedroom, full stocked kitchen, sunrise seating, 2 midday porches, and sunset seating made this the perfect rental!

Perfectly situated next to Joshua Tree NP entrance

Close to the park entrance and a short drive to the Visitor Center. The house had everything we needed, was super clean and comfy, and had outdoor seating for viewing the sunrise or the sunset, having a meal in the shade, or for a fire under the stars. We saw jack rabbits and hummingbirds and heard coyotes sing at night. We hope to return!

Cozy w/ Great location

My husband and I stayed here for our first trip to Joshua Tree NP and this house was just what we needed. Location was just a no purple minute drive from the West entrance. Cute and cozy space, and even though you have the main road there, you really don’t hear any noise unless outside. Smart tv in the room worked much better than anticipated. Heater was great. If using Apple Maps, we had the issue of the GPS telling us the home was on the opposite side of the road. But we figured it out after a few minutes. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy and convenient house. Great proximity to Joshua Tree NP entrance and a short drive to town. The only downside is that it’s right next to the road, which isn’t apparent in the listing. The road noise isn’t bad, however. Bonus: the local jackrabbit sightings.
