Photos and Description of the Joshua Tree vacation house rental
3+ Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, sleeps 8

Sitting atop a slight hill, backed by acres of rock mountains, this comfortable ranch home has everything you're looking for. The 3 bedrooms, over sized living room and separate office give plenty of space for your family vacation or group retreat. The outdoor hot tub is large enough for your whole party with incredible views of the valley.

Be sure to explore the natural desert flora and fauna including our self-guided nature hike. The sunsets are best enjoyed from the top of the rise behind the house and there is nothing more spectacular than watching a universe of twinkling stars from the warmth of the spa as coyotes howl across the valley. Watch for shooting stars or enjoy our desert landscape and make it a romantic getaway.

About Laura

We fell in love with this place the moment we saw it and so will you! It's so quiet and peaceful and the lovely views change as the sun moves across the sky. We got married in the National Park so it's very special to us. We never tire of visiting and we hope you won't either.

Laura purchased this house in 1998

Thanks

Thanks for the hospitality. We loved exploring the park, especially the rock formations. The bonfire was a great way to wrap up the day...at least until the coyote's howls sounded too close for our boys' comfort.
