-ACTIVITIES/ATTRACTIONS-
Visitors come to the High Desert for its unique landscape, culture, and recreational opportunities, as well as for the weather - hot and dry summers and mild winters at our high altitude. Joshua Tree and the communities surrounding the Joshua Tree National Park include Flamingo Heights, Pioneertown, Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley, and Landers. You’ll be close to all the action at Skull Rock. Some of our favorite options available to you:

–Joshua Tree National Park: 800,000 acres of mystical beauty - Joshua Tree National Park is one of the world’s most incredible natural desert treasures. Sweeping, grand in scale and populated by granite monoliths and voluptuous rock and boulder formations. This quiet land, conducive to meditation and roaming, was carved by extremes in climate - wind, rain and an ever-present, relentless sun. Diverse forms of plant life are found everywhere, but none as unique or prevalent as the park’s namesake: the Joshua tree, standing majestically across the vast topography.

–Pioneertown: Step back in time to thus rustic Old West-style village. Wander through the historic buildings, visit unique shops, catch a live music performance at Pappy & Harriets, and experience the Wild West charm.

• The Integratron: New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.

We enjoyed having all the extras like the hot tub, cowboy tub, bocce and bikes. The property was very clean and welcoming. The coffee was a nice touch and came in handy when we went into the park at 2:30am to photograph the Milky Way. The house was well stocked with extra towels for the hot tub and blankets.

Perfect place for our six night stay to hike JTNP. Love the location relative to the park. Appreciated perks like the plug in for our hybrid vehicle, gas grill & hot tub for post-hike soak! Modern kitchen was well stocked for our multiple meals a day—pots, pans, utensils made us feel like home. The Casper bed was a treat—rarely do we get such a comfortable bed on a week long vacation! Living room set up was great after a long day on our feet. Comfy couch & simple tv operation. Safe, adorable and convenient house- short, easy & beautiful drive from PSP airport too. We’d do it all over again!

My wife and I decided to visit Joshua Tree with our dog and while booking last minute came across this small property for the weekend. The listing was very accurate with how it was described. Although the property near some run down homes, the property itself was very clean and the way it’s fenced off gives you plenty of privacy. The property is also just minutes away from stores, restaurants, and the JT visitor center. Everything inside the house is updated and was a perfect little spot for just us and our dog. The bedroom was comfortable, and the living room and kitchen were great! The backyard had some nice furniture along with a cowboy pool and a hot tub. The gas fire pit was very nice and gives off a great size flame for a nice bonfire. Our ONLY complaint is that the ground in the backyard was full of these little spikey thorns that would get stuck on the bottoms of our shoes every time we walked around the yard. We saw our dog limping around every now and then as the thorns would get stuck in her paws. It became a little frustrating as it was the only thing that would make hanging out in the yard uncomfortable. By the time we would come back in the house the bottom of our shoes were full of the thorns and are hard to get them out. We understand that this is just due to the environment we are in. We did let the owner of the house know and they did apologize for the inconvenience and would look into the situation to avoid this issue for future guests.
