Modern Rustic Retreat+Pool/Spa+ Sunsets+King Beds

TessaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Such a gorgeous stay. Exactly as advertised. Had a lovely, relaxing visit. If the summer is the off season, then it must be perfection in the winter. Enjoyed watching the sun go down from the pool, then hopping over to the hot tub to star gaze. Property inside and out is exquisite and our hosts were great. The hummingbirds and Jack rabbits were added bonuses.

Cornerlands

ClintRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had an incredible stay at this Joshua Tree retreat. The full-length glass windows offered breathtaking views of the rocky desert landscape—sunrises and sunsets were unforgettable. The pool was perfect for cooling off in the summer heat, and the entire space felt serene and private. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the bathrooms were spotless and thoughtfully stocked with soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Beds were very comfortable, and the home was peaceful and quiet, yet just a 7-minute drive to the 29 Palms Highway. Highly recommended—would definitely stay here again!

Venturi House, Joshua Tree

MarlaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This home is absolutely gorgeous, the pictures don’t do the home justice you have to see it in person. House was stocked with everything you would need for bathing, cooking, entertaining. We throughly enjoyed the ping pong table and the hot tub. The hot tub was very clean and they had chlorine tablets in it to keep it clean. I loved sitting outside the home each morning and enjoying a cup of coffee while staring off into the desert. I highly recommend this place if you are in need of a place while in Joshua Tree. We will definitely be back!

High West House: A Boulder Filled Paradise

ChristianRating, 5 stars6 days ago
The home and the property are even more beautiful than the pictures show. The property is at the end of a dirt road that can seem a bit difficult to find but with the host instructions it leads you right to the property without issues. Every room of the house was clean and set up perfectly with many places to relax and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. We made use of the pool, jacuzzi, game room, backyard dining table, and fire pit which were all amazing amenities. The host was also very proactive and responsive making us feel secure even though we had no issues. Highly recommend!

The White Owl House ☆pool ☆private ☆gorgeous views

CooperRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Had a lovely stay at the property in early summer so enjoyed the outdoor spaces more in the evening. We read several reviews that mentioned the outdoor dome not being as it looks in the pictures, but that’s not true. We laid under the stars every night and were able to see them clearly. The pictures made it look very secluded, but there is an RV group about a block away that ran a generator all night and a handful of the nights had stadium lights going which made it hard to fully enjoy the night sky. This isn’t anything to do with the hosts or the property, just the neighbors not being super considerate.

JenniferRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had an unforgettable and magical experience. Upon our arrival, the home was easy to locate and get in to. The home was charming, peaceful, clean and most of all the backyard view was stunning as we had the backdrop of the mountains. The area is very peaceful and we felt very safe during our stay. It was convenient that Joshua Tree was only 20 minutes away. The hosts were available and easy to reach. We look forward to our future visits here!

Joshua Tree 1954 Homestead Cabin

CelineRating, 5 stars3 days ago
This was such a beautiful and peaceful getaway location. Me and my friends took a spontaneous trip to Joshua Tree and luckily this was available for the night. Leafe and Kat were such kind hosts and gave us so many options for spots to visit around the area as well, which helped so much considering we didn't do much planning. I recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a cozy, serene getaway from the busy hustle of life

JillianRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Fantastic oasis in Joshua Tree. Everything is exactly as you see in the pictures. My sister and niece were visiting from New England and this was their first time in the desert - I wanted it to be special. They had an amazing time and now they love the desert as much as I do. We played board games, swam in the pool, and watched the stars at night. The hosts were responsive and proactive. No issues at all for our stay and I would absolutely book it again.

From before, the sheep even started, the host was incredible. We got on a quick call to meet each other and she was super helpful and attentive. We had stayed at this property before with friends and had just fallen in love with it. It was the perfect place for a quick Mommy getaway. The house was supreme and the beds were so so comfortable. We cannot wait to come back again soon.

Your guide to Joshua Tree

Welcome to Joshua Tree

The community of Joshua Tree rises out of the Mojave Desert in stark contrast to Palm Springs, the nearby city known for mid-century estates and plentiful swimming pools. Joshua Tree residents have instead embraced a rugged, cheerfully weird vision of the West. Iconoclasts, artists, musicians, and outdoorsy types have all carved out a place for themselves in this arid landscape, where an abbreviated downtown is home to shops selling vintage wares, handicrafts, crystals, and herbs. Many use the town as a base for exploring nearby Joshua Tree National Park, whose nearly 800,000 acres lure hikers, rock-climbers, and stargazers with an magical landscape marked by vast plains, mountains, rock formations, cacti, and the unusual trees for which this place is named.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Joshua Tree

Spring and fall are the most popular times to visit Joshua Tree, when temperatures are mild and hospitable to hiking and other outdoor activities. (Be sure to pack layers for these seasons, as temperatures can drop dramatically when the sun goes down.) In March and April, dazzlingly colored wildflowers bloom in the national park. During the summer, temperatures can soar into the hundreds Fahrenheit; in the winter the days are cool and the nights are freezing, with snow at higher elevations. In May and October the town hosts the Joshua Tree Music Festival, which features up-and-coming artists, many of whom have gone on to major careers.


Top things to do in Joshua Tree

Joshua Tree National Park

This park is named for the goofy-looking Joshua tree, which can grow to 40 feet high and sprouts a multitude of wiggly branches topped with unruly crowns of spiky leaves. This sprawling scenic wonderland has lots of activities to offer, including scenic hikes, rock climbing, birdwatching, and horseback riding. Thanks to a dearth of artificial light, it’s also an ideal place for stargazing, and depending on the time of year, you can see the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, and, in August, the Perseid meteor shower.

Integratron

Have you even visited the desert if you haven’t tapped into an otherworldly energy vortex? The creator of the Integratron, a circa-1954 wooden dome that looks like a grounded spaceship, claimed the design was based in part on telepathic communications from space aliens and centered his portal on a powerful geomagnetic vortex. Regardless of whether you believe in the original intention behind the Integratron, you can’t deny the dome is wildly conducive to beautiful, clear acoustics. Those perfect acoustics draw hundreds of visitors weekly for restorative sound baths performed live on 20 quartz crystal singing bowls.

World Famous Crochet Museum

Located in Joshua Tree’s teensy downtown, the World Famous Crochet Museum is installed inside a slime-green former photo-processing booth. Its walls are jammed floor to ceiling with crochet critters and objects that the museum’s creator has collected over the years, including yarn cakes, poodles, and alligators. Drink in the absurdity, then snag a souvenir from her adjacent studio, where she sells artworks and T-shirts screenprinted with her original designs.
