Good to know

@JoshuaTreeEscapes The Sunset Road House is an original homesteader cabin built in 1958 and expanded on in later years. We recently did a total renovation (down to the studs!) on this mid-century gem so it has every modern amenity for you to enjoy. It sits on 5 gorgeous acres which you can explore during your visit. You must drive a couple of unpaved roads to access the house but no visitor has had a issue so far, Prius included! Local residents include rabbits, roadrunners, turtles, coyotes and all manner of desert creatures. Our favorite thing about the property is that it truly feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Check in and tune out :) The large, open concept living space has a modern kitchen, dining space and living room area. There are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The master has a king bed (with en suite bathroom) and the second bedroom has two twin beds which can be converted into a king, at your request. The second bedroom also has a full bathroom. The home works well for a group of friends, two couples, or small families. If you need accommodation for more guests, feel free to inquire about our other properties! The Sunset Road House is about a 12 minute drive to downtown Joshua Tree (fun shops, restaurants & bars) and a 15 minute drive to the Joshua Tree National Park Visitors Center at the west entrance of the park. In addition to hiking, we are close to the renowned Integratron (a healing sound bath experience) or enjoy a tour of the Gubler Orchid Farm. If you are looking for a little action, head on over to Pioneertown (25 min drive) and visit the Old West movie set before dinner and drinks at the famous music venue, Pappy & Harriet's . You might even get lucky and see a famous band do a set! At The Sunset Road House there is both a bocce ball court and a horseshoe pit... or do absolutely nothing and lie on the chaise lounges, looking out at the expansive desert by day and/or soaking in the hot tub at night under a blanket of stars. Take in the desert air in the private outdoor shower whenever it strikes your fancy or hop in the pool with a cocktail to enjoy the spectacular sunsets!

We had an incredible weekend here! The location was peaceful and beautiful; the perfect weekend retreat. It was clear the hosts put a lot of thought into the space, making sure everything we needed was there. We would absolutely stay again.

Stayed 2 nights with 2 friends in April and had a great time! Very secluded and peaceful. The house was just right for the three of us and we enjoyed spending most of the time on the back deck taking in the Landers desert views and in the hot tub at night taking in the stars! Highly recommend staying here.

We had a fantastic 1 night stay at Kathryn’s place. The house was extremely clean and well maintained, brand new towels and all the necessities to cook dinner and breakfast during our stay. The hot tub was ready for use upon arrival and was super clean! Kathryn went above and beyond to provide very detailed instructions for the house - the directions were super helpful and made finding the place a breeze. Location was perfect for our trip to Joshua Tree National Park. 10/10 would recommend and book again!

A Magical Desert Sanctuary! Our stay at this Joshua Tree gem was nothing short of perfection! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the hosts have poured their hearts into every corner of this home. The heartfelt details—from the curated local art to the cozy reading nooks—made the space feel incredibly warm and intentional rather than just another rental. The location is a dream for anyone seeking true peace. It’s tucked away in a perfectly secluded area, offering that rare, quiet stillness where you can actually hear the desert breathe. We spent our days alternating between the refreshing pool and the hot tub, which became our favorite spot for stargazing under the vast, unpolluted night sky. Whether we were enjoying coffee on the porch or watching the sunset glow over the boulders, we truly enjoyed every single minute. If you’re looking for a soulful, private retreat to recharge, look no further. We’re already planning our return!

Kathryn’s place was great. Isolated by desert scenery and a pleasant home, great for a long weekend. Loved the patio, grill, and hot tub. Communication was very clear, with detailed instructions for navigation, use of the house, and check-in. Wonderful place and great hosts, would come again.

I have stayed in so many airbnbs over the last 10 years. This spot is truly GREAT. Everything was just awesome. From check in, to cleanliness, to private area, to amenities. Just wow. You are about 10 min drive into town but I loved that part personally. Absolutely book this place if it’s available!

We had the best sisters trip at the Sunset Road House. Kathryn was an amazing host, so accommodating, especially when we needed to extend our stay last minute. Communication was great, the house was beautiful, and the views were even more incredible than the pictures show. The hot tub was perfect, and the location felt private and peaceful while still being close to everything we needed for our Joshua Tree trip. Kathryn’s recommendations for food and places to visit were spot on. We didn’t want to leave! Thanks again for having us!
