RockHill Ranch is a serene and gorgeous five-acre oasis in the Joshua Tree desert. It has breathtaking 360-degree views and a private, climbable rock mountain. The large two-bedroom, two-bath, fully-equipped house has been meticulously renovated and decorated with beautiful decor, while remaining comfortable and casual. The original homestead from the 1950’s was built with rocks on the inside a truly unique space. It’s the perfect get-away for artists and writers, couples, families, and anyone seeking a peaceful, relaxing, and rejuvenating vacation. The back yard is a ton of fun for rock scrambling and then relaxing and cooling off in the pool (open May 15-Sept 29).

A fully equipped kitchen, dining area, is open to the main living room. A gas and charcoal BBQ grill station is available just outside of the kitchen.

There is a king bed in the master bedroom loft, flat screen smart TV with an Apple TV unit. Access to the balcony with large lounge chairs and sofa are perfect for relaxing and enjoying the panoramic view. The cozy guest bedroom offers a queen bed and private patio. There is a modular sofa in the RockRoom Living Room that can be configured into 2 single beds or a large queen.

Both the RockRoom Living Room and the Main Living Room off the kitchen are wonderful entertaining spaces. They offer large flat screen TV's, with Netflix/Hulu access and Apple Tv unit as well as a Dvd player. There are cozy wood-burning fireplace in the main living room. Modern conveniences such as wireless internet, portable blue-tooth speaker, stereo and surround sound available as well.

There is an outdoor dining table with seating for 12 on the back patio. There are several seating areas around the property, the favorite located at a cozy gas fire table with a rustic sofa and chairs ready for a relaxing evening. The lounge chairs and a large hammock surround the pool in the back yard and they are great for stargazing at night.

Pool is closed Oct 1-May 14. Pool is not heated. During the summer months it is so wonderful to take a dip in the pool to cool off and to float around and bask in the breathtaking views.

This is a 5 acre property with incredible boulders that the Flintstones would be jealous of. The property is located off a dirt road in a quiet neighborhood near the west entrance to the Joshua Tree National Park. Although just 2 hours drive from Los Angeles you will find Joshua Tree to be worlds away.

    The setting overwhelmingly encompassing and calm; hosts gracious , readily available and helpful; amenities pretty much anything one could need or want. Landscaping delightful.

    This property is set amid beautiful landscape, and was incredibly comfortable and well-equipped. We enjoyed walking among the rocks, sitting on the upstairs balcony in the morning, and the cozy seating in the rock-room for family movie nights. My husband has health issues, so we can't hike like we used to, and this was a nice little slice of Joshua Tree and nature that was very accessible. There is comfortable seating placed throughout the property, so you can enjoy the lounge chairs by the pool or seats further up among the rocks. The beds were comfortable, and there is a lot of attention to detail. (Lots of blankets for sitting outside under the stars, for example.) The location was perfect-- close to town and the park. Like most JT properties it is up a dirt road, but we found it very easy to navigate in our little Prius, and well maintained compared to other roads in the area. We also really enjoyed the design touches and art placed throughout the home. I would definitely stay here again.

    Property is amazing and so many details are taken care of. Whenever we thought we would need something, we'd check a drawer or a shelf and it was there. We had a great time and really appreciate the communication with the host!

    From the moment we arrived we could tell this place was special. Over the 4 days we stayed, there was always something new and exciting to discover. The property had everything we needed, and more. Indoors and out the property was clean and well maintained. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and the outdoor grills were very nice. We had some special meals here and enjoyed sitting on the huge outdoor table under the covered patio. The view is amazing and the property is remote and secluded with lots of privacy. Good Wi-Fi, nice bathrooms, nice furniture, great little Bluetooth stereo and big DVD collection, TVs in every room, nicely decorated, little library of books/guides for local activities and wildlife. Surrounding activities were fun with JTNP, Pioneertown, Yucca Valley, and the town of Joshua Tree. Lots of nice shops, restaurants, groceries and coffee. You can't go wrong with this property. If we're lucky enough we plan to return again in the future. Thanks so much to the hosts for being helpful and sharing their wonderful property with us.

    RockHill sits in an incredible cove of rocks that define Jashua Tree. The house is spacious, beautifully decorated and well appointed. Jamie was so gratious to us and went out of her way to help find a lost package. We even had Big Horn Sheep visit us one morning during breakfast!

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Joshua Tree. So close to the park yet worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. They have thought of everything. Exceptional communication and hospitality. We enjoyed all the animals including the visits from the Mountain Goats and the Quail family. We watched the sunrise from the deck and all the stars at night. We cooked in the fully stocked kitchen and simply enjoyed ourselves.

    This is our 3rd time staying at RockHill Ranch. We have loved it every time. To start with, the rocks and boulders are stunning!! If you like the desert at all you will absolutely love this. There is a lot of privacy one can get used to really fast. It can get hot as it does in the desert but the air conditioners can keep the house very comfortably cool. Jamie has the house supplied with just about anything one might need. There is something cute just about anywhere you turn, inside and out and there are chaise lounges and tables and chairs placed strategically throughout the property. One has a great view of the sunsets! I left for last, what is for me, the biggest plus of all…the animal life! With Chuckwallas, Roadrunners, Cottontails, Jackrabbits, Bobcats & Bighorn Sheep to name some. I highly recommend this amazing and unique place.

    We have stayed at other properties located in this same IDEAL West Gate location. This is by far outstanding! Very quiet location and private with 5 acres. At least 1 acre is flat enough to stroll and the other 4 are great for mild to moderate rock scrambling. Easy access to the park and quick enough to get back to town. The house was impeccable in cleanliness! Beds are comfortable, kitchen supplies were basic and plentiful. Host is great to communicate with. Lots of secret seating areas around the property gardens, more birds at the house than we saw in JTNP, and the views are truly exceptional day and night. I sure hope they will put out the welcome mat for us again!
