Stunning Views: Rockwood Hill House

*** If this property is booked, check out our other property the Joshua Tree Forest Bungalow: https://www.vrbo.com/1790120

Get away from it all in this recently renovated house in the hills bordering Joshua Tree National Park. This relaxing retreat sits on 3 acres of land, with plenty of outdoor space and stunning panoramic views. It is ideally located just a few miles from Joshua Tree Village and the Park entrance.

The house is located on 3 acres of land at the foot of the Joshua Tree hills. It is newly renovated, modern with mid-century and rustic touches and beautiful concrete floors. It has a full kitchen and dining area, with most everything you could need for cooking.

There are 2 King Bedrooms, an extra queen bed (real bed, not a pullout couch) in the garage lounge. Oh... did I mention the garage lounge?

We converted the garage into a lounge/game room with a pool table and 55" flat screen TV, DVD player and Roku (Netflix, etc).

There is a large patio with several outdoor spaces including a covered lounge area with sofa and lounge chairs, a 6 person outdoor dining area with a propane bbq grill covered by a pergola, and an uncovered lounge area. Amazing views of the desert can be scene from every outdoor space. There is also a 6 person outdoor hot tub with panoramic views... perfect for unwinding after a day in the park.

Although we can accommodate 6 guests, the house is most comfortable for 2-4 guests, as there is only 1 full bathroom. The full bath has 2 showers in it - a stall shower and a tub with a shower, so it is ideal for couples and those that are comfortable with each other!

Nice vacation property near Joshua Tree National Park

This is a beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood near Yucca Valley. Great space with plenty of amenities, including a great view. The owners were very communicative and we greatly enjoyed our stay.

Late Fall Vacation in Joshua Tree

We had a wonderful stay. The house is exactly as shown in the listing. But, you could not describe the amazing sunrises and sunsets that can be enjoyed from the patio. The game room is cozy and has everything you need for an evening of fun. Great access to Joshua Tree National Park! Would gladly stay again!

Wonderfully clean and relaxing home. The pool table and beautiful sunrises provided great entertainment. The hosts are pros! Our stay was worth every penny, which isn’t true of very much these days! JTNP was gorgeous and my kids (2&6) loved rock scrambling on the discovery trail. We hope to come back! It was such a great weekend away!

Amazing views

The Rockwood Hill House is a lovely stay in the high desert, with amazing views overlooking the Yucca Valley. Getting there was easy with detailed instructions. The kitchen, dining, and living rooms are spacious and there was lots of outdoor space for eating and relaxing. The game room is a huge bonus! I only wish we could have stayed longer. We will certainly be back, maybe with friends!

Rockwood Rocks!

We had a great 5-night stay at Josh and Don’s lovely Joshua Tree home. Their home was comfortable (great mattresses) and felt very private. Lots of room to both spread out and have family together time. The outdoor spaces where we sat, ate, read books, stargazed, and listened to birdsong were spectacular! The view is panoramic and we watched the sunrises and sunsets. The entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is just a few minutes from the house. A 5 star plus property- hoping we can return soon!

Magical!!!

We had a fabulous time staying at Josh and Don’s gorgeous home. It was nicely decorated and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The setting is peaceful and located within minutes of Joshua Tree National Park where we hiked everyday! We took advantage of the hot tub after our hikes. Thank you for a wonderful experience and we will recommend you to friends and family! Sincerely, Jennifer and Steve (Seattle)

Joshua Tree Oasis

This home was every bit as beautiful as the photos—and somehow even more charming in person! The spacious layout gave our family plenty of room to unwind after long days of exploring, and the house was stocked with everything we could have possibly needed: coffee and baking essentials, plush towels, games and activities for all ages, and ample outdoor seating to soak in the stunning desert views.We especially appreciated the large cooler and ice packs, which made it easy to pack lunches and extra water for our days in the park.The location couldn’t have been better- only about 10 minutes from the main park entrance- which made it the perfect home base for early mornings and full days of adventure. The home was quiet and peaceful, tucked at the top of a mountain cul-de-sac, and was the perfect place to recharge after our adventures.The hosts were wonderful- quick to respond any time we had a question and generous with recommendations before and during our stay. Some of our favorite meals were at Snakebite Roadhouse, Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown, and Kitchen in the Desert in 29 Palms for a truly unique elevated dining experience. We also loved ordering from Sky High Pie on our first night- it was the perfect welcome after a day of travel.We can’t recommend this home enough and would absolutely stay here again!

Everything we needed!

Everything we would need and more in the kitchen. Game room a fun and comfy place to hang out. Nice views and lovely outdoor spaces. Heaters took a while to warm up the house but it was cold and windy when we arrived. They eventually caught up. Pictures made it seem a little more wild and remote than it was, but it was still a private, quiet retreat while being easy to get to town and the national park. Very responsive host!

Can I give it 6 stars?

The pictures don’t do it justice. The house is clean, spacious, and comfortable. The ability to divide sections off for different activities is fantastic. And the outside living space is DEVINE. The jacuzzi was hot, and the stargazing from it was magical. Beds were comfy, neighborhood quiet, kitchen well-supplied, lots of towels, everything worked and the documentation was clear. Josh was communicative and very responsive. We were sad to leave and hope to come back soon!

We enjoyed our stay Rockwood. The location is great and the property is as described and the pictures are accurate. The game room is a great gathering spot and the outdoor areas are fantastic. It’s close to the park and town yet quiet and relaxing. After a day of hiking and exploring relaxing in the hot and watching the stars was a great night cap!

Visit with Grad school daughter

Everything about our stay was wonderful! We met up with our graduate school daughter and her friend at a place none of us had been to prior. Josh and Don were amazing hosts from the welcome snacks to providing everything you could possibly need during your stay. Their beautiful home is so close to the west entrance of the park where after enjoying lazy mornings having coffee together and maybe throwing in a game of pool we would pack a lunch and head into the park. Joshua Tree park is surreal and worth visiting and Josh and Don’s house is a perfect homebase to come back to every afternoon/night. We loved spending time in the hot tub at night watching the stars and the distant lights, playing trivia and pool in the game room which was a perfect gathering place when we weren’t out exploring. Josh & Dan- Thank you so much for your hospitality! We made so many great memories!
