We really enjoyed our stay at the Blockhaus. Amy was great communicating throughout the process. The house was "exceptionally equipped" and was in a great location . We enjoyed the hot tub after a day of hiking and touring. We highly recommend renting this property.

Star Claim Post
I recently had the pleasure of staying at John’s beautiful home in Joshua Tree, and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I booked, John was incredibly responsive and welcoming, offering clear instructions and helpful recommendations for the area. The house itself is a true gem. Nestled in the heart of Joshua Tree, it blends perfectly with the stunning desert landscape while offering all the comfort and amenities you could ask for. Whether you’re relaxing on the porch with a cup of coffee or unwinding by the fire pit under the stars, every corner of this home is designed for comfort and relaxation. The location is ideal – just a short drive from Joshua Tree National Park and local shops, yet quiet and peaceful enough to feel like a private retreat. The views of the mountains from the property are breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset.

Hot Tub + 10 Acres Private 2bd 2bth by Joshua Tree
This home was very beautiful inside and out. It was just what we wanted for our little desert getaway. The home was really cozy. I just wish we had another day so we could do a whole day just relaxing there.
Modern Desert Oasis, 5 Minutes from Park
Great spot for exploring Joshua Tree. Worked well for our extended family trip with kids and teens. Enjoyed nearby restaurants and recommendations from host on best coffee in the area. Would stay here again.

ok so we have stayed at Airbnb around the world, Joel's place is right there at the top 3! can't wait to visit again. PS: Make sure you crank up The Eagles "Hotel California" as you sit on the porch watching the sun set!

Peaceful Desert Escape: Starry Skies & Log Fires

Casa Carlyle - Hot Tub, Outdoor Shower & Views
Amazing home, gorgeous interior and ample outdoor space for reading in the hammock, relaxing in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows over the fire pit, grilling and enjoying the weather. Everything was in excellent condition and the space was very comfortable. Instructions were clear, host was helpful and communicative. Would definitely stay here again!

Fenced, Hot tub & Pool "Desert Dog Hideaway"
Private, clean, beautiful place to stay. Even better than the pictures. The house is far enough from the main downtown to feel secluded and like an escape, but still an easy drive to 29 Palms, Yucca Valley, and JT. We spent a few wonderful nights by the fire pit and in the hot tub. The yard felt safe and was well fenced in. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful, welcoming home. Spacious, clean and everything we needed. Great location for access to Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs. We really enjoyed our stay.

Hidden River Ranch
We had a great stay here. The house is very large! We brought our whole family and had a blast. We grilled on the bbq and sat around the fire pit and watched the meteor shower. I wish the neighbors would turn off their super bright outdoor lights at night but that's nothing against this house.

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.
