We had an awesome time at this beautiful house. It felt more spacious than we expected. The fenced-in backyard was perfect for lounging and to give our dog some room to roam!
The host was super welcoming and responsive. All of our questions were answered promptly and we felt comfortable knowing she was available.
I highly recommend this property for visits to Joshua Tree. The location was perfect and everything you’d be interested in doing is in close proximity.

The little house is a gem and has a great retro vibe. The décor and artwork really make it feel like a dessert stay. The house is within walking distance to Joshua Tree Visitor Center (where you can also pick up coffee and great sandwiches for your day trip) and also to other shops and eating places on the main road. Kristin, the host was readily accessible by text and check-in and out was a breeze. We really appreciated being able to have our older dog welcomed as well. We were only there 3 nights, but Kristin had everything you would need to stay a week or longer and cook more. We did use the Weber grill outside but unfortunately, we didn't take advantage of the cute yard space as it was too cold and windy.

Very clean ,comfortable,well stocked accommodations. Conveniently situated to both Joshua Tree town and West entrance to JT National Park. Plenty of guide materials, books and games. The neighborhood was quiet. The owners were very communicative. With any concerns.

The Rockview house was perfect for our recent hiking/wildflower viewing visit to Joshua Tree NP. This clean and well-maintained house has a tasteful Mid-century modern/Desert vibe, complemented by artwork and furnishings in a fun color palette. And access to the park couldn't be more convenient.
I've never seen a rental so well stocked. The kitchen had every appliance and gadget you could possibly need, as well as a vast array of condiments. Also had coolers for day trips. The outdoor bathtub was a nice way to unwind in the evening. Kristen was very communicative and available and couldn't have been kinder.

We stayed for 2 nights and from the start, the experience was perfect. The guest contact was very responsive and helpful. The home was incredibly clean, tidied up, offered everything we could possibly think of and more! The kitchen was stocked with clean, stylish, new dishes, utensils, pots, pans, colander, paper towels, even coffee and condiments plus a dishwasher that worked great. The beds were nice and comfy, the bathroom was very clean stocked with TP, towels, wash clothes, soaps, candles, and more.
My favorite part was the outdoor private patio. We had breakfast and lunch there and enjoyed the peaceful vibes and sunshine. And, the adorable bathtub outside with bath bubbles! The host put a lot of thought and creativity into this inviting home and we can’t wait to come back again and definitely recommend it to anyone. Thank you!

This was our first trip to Joshua Tree, and we wanted to ensure it was special. Kristin was a phenomenal host, making sure all the details including a Joshua Tree guide of local sites and hikes were available. They are very detailed and responsive. We definitely will stay again.

Great place. Clean & well cared for. Lots of amenities. Only 1 flaw. Hot water tank for the outside tub was way too small so the tub was good for wasting water but not actual use.
10.0
This property restored my faith in short term rentals (I've gotten so tired of barely furnished, IKEA stocked spaces). This house is nicely furnished, very comfortable, and super clean. The kitchen is completely outfitted and there's a really nice courtyard to hang out in (though it was a bit chilly for our visit). Very close to the National Park and you can even walk to a few restaurants. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Joshua Tree!

My wife and I stayed at the Rockview house for 3 days as we hiked various trails in JTNP. The house was well kept and comfortable to live in. The host made sure all amenities were available and was easy to get in touch with. We would definitely stay here again if we plan another trip to this area.

This house was the best landing spot for trekking in the nearby park. When the temperatures get hot in the afternoon, you can relax in the shade in the nice backyard. Wonderful place, well maintained.
10.0
This was such a perfect getaway. The backyard was our favorite part of the property, with the outdoor bathtub as well as multiple areas to lounge. The owner was very sweet and communicative, and it's so close to the national park (mind you the park is big, so it's still a drive to get to some trails, but we were pretty close) and we were still central to nearby to eat and shop at. Overall, such a great place to stay at!

Great house in Joshua Tree!
This house was perfect! The host truly thought of everything. We loved the decor and the backyard desert oasis! The house has 2 bedrooms and 2 sleeper sofas, so our family of 5 slept comfortably. It is in the middle of a nice neighborhood but also felt private. It is a quick drive to JTNP. Since we were there in June, we did sunrise/sunset hikes and happily lounged around at the house during the heat of the day. I didn’t know what a swamp cooler would be like, but it actually worked great and kept the house very cool. We would definitely stay here again!
