Stayed Nov 22, 2024It was a great experience especially if you love the peace and quiet and being away from it all. The hot tub was the best part to relax and enjoy the stars at night. The host was very helpful and made sure we had evening we needed! Great hiking trails right outside your door!

Stayed Nov 2, 2024We enjoyed the remoteness of the property with its open access to a wide swath of high desert near Joshua Tree Park. The kitchen was fully stocked with lots of food and drink and utensils. It was nice to have a hot tub on the property but if you want to use it the night you arrive, be sure to crank up the temperature right away as it takes a long time to heat up from the 80 deg it was at when we got there. The one nit we had to pick was the nosiness of the fridge and mini-split which took awhile to get used.

Stayed Jul 3, 2022Absolutely beautiful backyard. Its right next to Joshua Tree National Park. Its serene. Host Laurie is very thoughtful and provide all info for the stay. Late evening walking in the backyard was a unique experience for us. Stargazing while sitting in the Jacuzzi was so nice. It was so peaceful at night. We saw quail, kit fox, desert rabbit with big ears. My wife and i really enjoy our 3 nights stay at Rancho Rockotillo. Highly recommended. We will revisit next time. Thanks Laurie.

Stayed Dec 26, 2025Our 2nd stay at Rancho Rockotillo was just as amazing as our 1st stay last year. The host provides detailed instructions, making the drive in and stay effortless. The cabin is spacious, well stocked, and set in the most beautiful landscape. We enjoyed many bird visitors, as well as a coyote. While we did brave the National Park, we mostly hiked in the backyard, which had no crowds and we encountered no other hikers. The hot tub was amazing for hike recovery. We have fallen in love with this magical little cabin and can't imagine staying anywhere else in Joshua Tree, We'll see you next year!

Stayed May 24, 2025The property was so peaceful and quiet it really felt like you were in the middle of nowhere while being 10 minutes from town and the national park. From grilling to lounging in the hamock star gazing everything was great. The mattress was also very comfortable to sleep on as someone with back problems.

Stayed Mar 5, 2025Rancho Rockotillo offered the perfect accommodations for our anniversary adventure in Joshua Tree NP. The space was inviting and comfortable. The kitchen amenities made it easy to prepare breakfasts and the grill was well cared for to make a steak dinner. The hot tub was delightful at the end of the day and even the morning we departed. The surroundings provided great photo opportunities. Thank you Laurie and Curt for thinking of your guests needs.

Stayed Dec 26, 2024You will not be disappointed if you stay here. We just returned from 3 nights here and were sad to leave. Just as described-kitchen very well stocked, spa perfect for post-hike muscles, and miles to explore in the backyard. Just a mile or so from the north entrance of the National Park, we were able to get in early and back to homebase quickly. Host very helpful and responsive. Can't wait for our next trip to Joshua Tree so we can enjoy this cabin again!
