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 we also have a recently renovated vintage travel trailer available for rent near by. 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 The Rolling Stones 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 (unheated) with a cocktail to enjoy the spectacular sunsets!

We had a wonderful stay at Kathryn's place. It was peaceful and secluded yet just a short drive from Joshua Tree. It was perfect for our family, feeling cozy, homely, and thoughtfully set up. We loved the quiet desert setting, which made it easy to unwind and enjoy incredible stargazing at night. A great spot for anyone wanting to get away from civilization while still staying close to the park. Highly recommend!

It was a beautiful getaway to the desert. The location was beautiful and quiet. There were amazing desert views around us, we could enjoy sunrises and sunsets every day with nobody bothering us. We came here in November so the pool was cold (the host warned us beforehand so we weren’t surprised), but the hot tub was a marvelous option for cold evenings and stargazing. Everything was clean and convenient. We could find all we needed in the kitchen and bathroom. I highly appreciate this place having guitar so I could soothe my soul with live music; and watercolor paint - I created unique memory pictures of the trip. I highly recommend visiting this place. It’s amazing!

This house was a fantastic stay out in the desert. It’s on a really nice patch of land that doesn’t have a lot of houses backing onto it, so you have a wonderful view from the rear of the house where you can sit or lie on the loungers. The hot tub worked great, and though we didn’t use the pool, it was uncovered and filled if we felt like taking a cold plunge in November. Highly recommend, especially during the week where there aren’t as many people renting the surrounding properties. Sound does carry pretty far out there. The only small issue we had was with the Internet (the bandwidth is pretty low, so if multiple people have devices connected, things can get a little bit stuck, just FYI for everybody). Host was very responsive to our needs and helped us when we needed it. Overall it was a very easy and relaxing stay.

This house has everything you'll need for a short or long term stay in the Joshua Tree area. The location was amazing it's close to everything. We wish we had more time there so we could enjoy all the amenities but we really enjoyed stargazing in the hot tub. The beds are so comfortable and the whole house just makes you feel like home. Everything was very clean and would definitely stay here again. Be sure to read the host's instructions on how to get to the house rather than relying on any sort of GPS app. The hosts are also super friendly and helpful!
