Your well-behaved pet is welcome for a non-refundable $75 pet fee. San Bernardino requires that I confirm that all pets are currently licensed and vaccinated. A week or so before your check-in date I will send you information about the house and area. Please be respectful of our family home/property and the quiet desert environment and keep your volume down. We often have wildlife visits so be aware of possible rattlesnakes (rarely seen but still...) and watch for the endangered tortoises that are breeding nearby! Please don't touch or feed or them...
Luna Vista is located at the top of the Joshua Tree Highlands, a beautiful and quiet neighborhood in the hills adjacent to the West Park Entrance. You must have a car to experience this area. Many of the roads are dirt roads, including in the Joshua Tree Highlands where Luna Vista is located.
Joshua Tree is known for its iconic trees (actually not trees but belonging to the yucca family), its beautiful desert landscapes and Joshua Tree National Park, renowned for its unusual geology that has attracted climbers from all over the world. The Park's unique features, the quietude, expansive vistas, and special energy of the area has attracted and inspired artists of all types, many of whom have chosen to live in this creative environment. The awesome desert weather, flora and fauna add to the exceptional qualities of Joshua Tree.
This place is a perfect getaway from a busy city life. Gorgeous views with a quiet neighborhood. Beautiful house, and did I mention the view! Perfect place for star gazing ✨
Luna Vista was the perfect spot for a girls weekend of relaxing and stargazing!
Relaxing and private location. This venue is the whole package! Both the interior and exterior grounds of the house have been well thought out and artistically crafted. Whether you are inside of the house or enjoying the many outdoor seating areas, everywhere that you look, there is great attention to detail in all of the amenities. We are already talking about our next trip to Luna Vista.
This is an unbelievably wonderful home to stay in. Very peaceful in a gorgeous part of Joshua Tree. It would also be fantastic for a retreat.
Beautiful home, lovngly curated decor inside and out, incredibly well-stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and shared spaces. Stunning views, quiet nights, and easy access to Joshua Tree Park. Our favorite rental home ever, will 100% book again.
Defintely worth a stay. Awesome!
Absolutely beautiful property! Home, landscaping, furnishings and attention to every detail. Working with Cindy was seamless. My wife and I and another couple felt like we were at a retreat. Minutes from Joshua Tree NP. Wild flowers, many birds, best property we have ever stayed at!
Our family of four loved our time at Luna Vista. The property is beautiful and the proximity to Joshua Tree National Park is perfect. Cindy was kind enough to leave some bird seed and suet, and we spent hours watching the beautiful birds at the feeders. Luna Vista also has a wonderfully-equipped kitchen! We used the grill and ate at the outdoor table most nights. There is also a great outdoor shower. Highly recommend Luna Vista!
We loved the location of this property. It was really nice to have privacy and a great view of the city and horizon below. Very clean and well-stocked. Would definitely recommend!
Awesome VRBO! Will be back again.
We took advantage of everything Luna Vista had to offer: great views; fun walking paths with whimsical lookout areas; birdwatching (although we didn't get to meet the roadrunner); comfortable and spacious living area and bedrooms; and fully stocked kitchen. The artsy rustic decor was beautiful and made is feel instantly at home. We did miss the stars due to the rain but that just means we need to go back again.
Second time visiting Luna Vista - will be back again!! Perched above the park with privacy and endless sky. House is amazing- thank you!!
What a beautiful place, would definitely recommend.
It was the first time for us to rent a house. It has everything we need. Wonderful house and host. We’ll come back again!!
Great trip!
Another beautiful stay with family and friends at this fantastic vacation home. A well equipped kitchen really helps when making food. The views are amazing, especially at night. You will need an SUV or truck to get out here. The dirt road section is a little too rough for a regular car.
Landscape and grounds are excellent.
Luna Vista absolutely was the best part of our Joshua Tree experience and the best VRBO we have ever had. There were so many thoughtful touches that I can't begin to list them all here, but every little detail was thought out and executed for such a magical experience. You can tell the owners really want you to enjoy their space, and this was so appreciated. So many little and BIG extras- but I would be remiss to not give extra thanks for things like shampoo in every shower (even the outdoor one!) and to not have to worry about buying things like trash bags and coffee filters. For good fluffy towels and yummy coffee and bird food so we could enjoy the bird feeders. For well stocked propane tanks and for binoculars and a telescope to amaze my kids. For seating areas in every space imaginable to enjoy the outdoors! I could go on and on.. For my family of five everything was perfect- none of us wanted to leave and we all say we wish every rental was this thoughtful and wonderful to enjoy. We travel alot and rent a lot of houses, but this one was special for us. Thanks for a great Joshua Tree experience made phenomenal by the beautiful Luna Vista!
We came down for a quick family getaway and loved this house! The property has lots of different locations to hang out and explore- cowboy tub was perfect for cooling off and the outdoor shower was an added bonus. Lots of animals- quail, blue jays, golden finches, cool spiders and a baby scorpion! Cottontail bunnies and AMAZING star gazing! Cindy was wonderful to work with and provided us with lots of information and the house was well stocked with kitchen pantry items and loads of dishes so we weren’t washing constantly. House is very well Maintained and we are already talking about coming back. Thank you!!!
Wonderfull exsperience. Will come again in the future.
Our family enjoyed every minute of our stay!! Views were amazing. Peaceful paradise The neighborhood roads were a bit like off roadimg so take it slow!! We had no issues getting to the house following the owner instructions
My family and I loved this home! The property is better than the photos. We loved the short distance to hikes in Joshua tree but also loved staying in the home and watching what animals we’d see next with our kids. Will definitely come here again! Thank you Cindy for everything!
Very enjoyable
Property was better than described. Enjoyed lots of wildlife, dozens of birds, coyote, Jack Rabbits. Lots of little extras made it feel like home - binoculars, backpacks, walking sticks... Loved the back porch, dark skies, so quiet... and the outdoor shower was a hit. We'll be back and have already encouraged LA friends to rent.
Amazing property . Exceeded my expectations. Best organized and equipped home we have rented. Views, wildlife, private and quite.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is spectacular. I especially appreciated the thoughtful desert landscaping and the paths around the property to protect the desert plants and soil. The well equipped kitchen was also much appreciated. We would definitely stay again.
