    Amazing property! Stayed the weekend as a volunteer astronomer for the Joshua Tree Night Sky Fest held at Sky's the Limit observatory (1.4 miles down the road). Property was like home away from home, wonderfully furnished, clean and cozy. HIGHLY recommend, look forward to revisiting again

    The property is beautiful and freshly remodeled inside and has all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay. The local coffee beans and farm fresh eggs were a nice touch! The grill and outdoor patio area were very nice and it’s a perfect spot for stargazing. A little less than 1 mile from Joshua Tree NP so very convenient location. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

    This property was perfect for our trip to Joshua Tree NP. We were so close to the park’s north entrance, which made getting to the park early very easy. We were able to spend 2 hours in the park before the rush. We were able to see the popular sites with virtually no one else around—great for photos! It is also only a short drive to Twentynine Palms, so getting groceries or dinner were simple tasks. The place is clean, very well stocked and completely updated. With beautiful views it was a peaceful getaway after long days in the park.The owner is very helpful and on top of things. We really loved the Roadrunner’s Roost!

    Roadrunner Roost is a wonderful respite after a long day hiking in Joshua National Park. A beautiful well equipped kitchen easy access to grocery stores and a super outdoor grill make eating at the rental easy. If you like to eat dinner out, we loved 29 Palms Inn and Kitchen in the Desert Cafe were beyond our expectations . Delicious food and a fun atmosphere.Patricia of Road Runner Roost was everything you could hope for in a host.

    What an amazing property! Out in the desert, barely a soul around, stars and cactus! This property is far enough out, but close enough to restaurants and hiking! The house is adorable and well kept, the views are next to none! WiFi is great, beds are comfy, the bathroom is in the master bedroom so if you are an almost 50 lady like us you will have some nighttime interruptions but it was all good for us! Owners were very responsive (we had zero problems at all and didn’t need to contact anyone but what communication we had was prompt!). Hummingbirds buzzed around us outside. Joshua tree park was very convenient to the location. We did a loop thru and some hikes, came back into yucca valley to do some lunch and shopping there and in Joshua tree. A very magical two nights in the high desert. Highly recommend!

    This is a perfect place to stay when visiting Joshua Tree National Park. The north entrance is less than five minutes away. The night sky from the back deck is amazing. It was comfortable and well appointed. While there are tvs with Roku devices you will need your own logins to use.

    It was so nice to go out early to the Park and hike until we were too tired or too hot. Returning to such a nice home was so special. It was well equipped, comfortable bed, good shower, shady deck and more. Very responsive house manager!
