INSIDE
An open floorplan lets the living room, dining room and kitchen flow into one another seamlessly. Everyone can hang out whether you are making a meal, watching a movie, or embarking on your next great creative endeavor.
SLEEPING:
The primary bedroom features a king size bed, a closet, an ensuite bathroom with a massive soaking tub, and 180 degree views of the desert.
The second bedroom also features a king size bed, closet and outlets for all of your devices built in to the bedside tables.
Both rooms have hanging rods for your clothes and plenty of space for your belongings. The rooms are also soundproof, providing privacy from the other bedroom and other guests.
In the living room, a chaise folds out to become a queen size bed for additional guests or just another place to chill.
OUTSIDE:
Hike the boulders and explore! Check out the sweeping desert views from different vantage points.
Jump in the new shipping container pool during the heat of the day, and into the hot tub when it cools down at night! Rinse off at the one-of-a-kind boulder shower with hot water temperature control. Lay out on the pool loungers and soak up the sun, or chill out under the moonlight. Bring your sunscreen!
Take a nap on the stargazing truck under the shade during the day, or cozy up at night with a blanket and check out the endless stars.
A chest of games like cornhole, lawn darts, frisbee, and various others are there to play with. A stretch of turf is there for any games you want to play or come up with yourself!
Have coffee in the morning or drinks in the evening or just chill out on the shaded patio.
Enjoy the brand new grill and eat Al Fresco!
THE KITCHEN
The open kitchenette packs a punch of luxury convenience into a small, sleek. A gas cooktop stove, conventional oven, Keurig coffee maker, multifunction countertop oven, and stainless steel fridge give you plenty of options for making meals for everyone. The propane grill is just steps outside of the kitchen door!
ENTERTAINMENT
After hiking the rocks and swimming in the pool you feel like kicking back and watching TV or a movie, enjoy the projector and apple TV with all the apps you could want! Enjoy 5.1 Dolby sound with the Bose soundbar!
Other things to note
Stars on the Rocks is under new ownership! Improvements and upgrades are being made every day for your comfort and enjoyment. Please note that prices are lower due to upgrades being made. We are also getting new photos of the property to highlight the new features, design, and artwork. We appreciate your understanding.
FAMILY:
We are family friendly! But no infants are allowed. Children 2 years old and above must be included as part of the total guest count. Please note that the house is NOT childproof (ie no outlet protectors, no gate to pool, etc). But the infants are allowed if the guests take full responsibility for them. Please see our House Rules for more information.
PETS:
Pets are accepted on a case by case basis and pet owners must agree to our pet rules before we can approve. Please send us the breed and age for consideration. We will request a $75 cleaning & companion fee per pet. Please see our House Rules for more information.
RESPECT:
PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF OUR NEIGHBORS! We are in a quiet, peaceful area of Joshua Tree. There are strict county ordinances regarding excessive noise and light pollution. Please respect our neighbors by following the county's Good Neighbor Policy and refrain from any loud outdoor noise or disturbances by 10pm. Failure to respect quiet hours or after an initial warning may result in cancellation of your reservation without refund.
OUTDOOR MUSIC:
Sound travels far in the desert. Take a moment to listen to how much you can hear! Guests may use the Bluetooth speakers outside at a reasonable volume, and any music but be low enough to not be heard from the street or any neighboring property after 9pm. We want you to enjoy music outside, but please be respectful and aware of neighbors particularly early in the morning and after dinner time.
HOT TUB:
Our 4-person hot tub is set to 104 degrees.
OUTDOOR POOL & SHOWER: [POOL IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR SUMMER]
TThe outdoor shipping container pool is filled and maintained for your enjoyment all year long. The pool does have a heater, and pool heating is available for an additional charge. If you would like the pool heated for your stay, please let us know at least 1 day prior to arrival so we can make arrangements in advance.
We do our best to maintain the pool after every stay, but many small insects may stop by for a drink and to cool off in the desert heat. Please do not be alarmed if you find a few bits of nature keeping you company in the pool.
AC/HEATING:
We have a split AC/heater unit in each suite.
WIFI:
We have the fastest wifi in the area (15mbps), but we do not guarantee these speeds at all hours of the day. We are in a remote area of Joshua Tree so speed depends on the neighborhood bandwidth, weather, and many other factors outside of our control.
PHOTOSHOOTS & VIDEOS:
If you’re interested in doing a photoshoot or shooting a video for commercial use, please let us know what it is for. You must get approval beforehand! If approved, we have an additional fee for licensing and usage.
WILDLIFE:
You’re surely guaranteed to encounter wildlife on your stay including families of quail, coyotes, rabbits, rare Albino lizards, insects, snakes, and the endangered kangaroo mice. There are snakes and scorpions in Joshua Tree, so if you are venturing into the rocks, close-toed shoes are recommended. If you are adventuring at night, bring a flashlight or headlamp for your own safety!
NO SMOKING:
No smoking or burning candles. This is a non-smoking home. Any and all smoking should be kept outdoors and at least 15 feet away from any open exterior doors. There will be a $250 charge for anyone not honoring this guideline. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE CIGARETTE BUTTS in the property.
CLEANING:
Health & safety is our number one priority. Our in-house cleaning team is trained on CDC and WHO protocols. We take extra measures to ensure the home is sanitized and safe before every arrival. For this reason we aren’t able to offer early check-ins or late check-outs. Thank you for understanding!
EARLY CHECK-IN OR LATE CHECK-OUT:
Check-in is after 4PM. Check-out is by 11AM. Requests for early check-in and late check-out are not guaranteed, and subject to additional fees.
LACK OF CELLULAR COVERAGE:
You will notice that cell service is hard to come by in our secluded desert setting. Don't worry—consider it an invitation to unplug and fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty around you. We recommend planning ahead to make the most of this serene escape from the digital world.
