Perfect desert home for Joshua Tree adventures
The house is cozy, organized, and a super pleasant home base. The location is great for easy access to Joshua Tree west entrance (or go down to 29 Palms if crowded). Had a fabulous time hiking early, then returning to nap in the tasteful backyard. Returned for more JTNP, then BBQ carne asada in the backyard. Great kitchen btw. I’m sure to return. Host is on top of her game.

Perfect weekend getaway
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.

Joshua Tree Excursion
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.

Just about perfect
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.

Wonderful property
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!

Perfect Small House
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.

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!
