RockHopper: Hot Tub, Fire Pit, Walk to Downtown

The spacious home was lovingly remodeled to create a comfortable and modern large 4 bedroom/2 bath house. Inside each of the four bedrooms is a queen mattress with comfortable sleeping arrangements for 8, a full kitchen and open living and dining area and large sliding doors to the backyard with large outdoor dining table.

The Rockhopper is a place for friends and family to have a home base within walking distance to restaurants, local shopping and a quick, 10 minute drive to the National Park entrance. We welcome you to come and relax and start making Joshua Tree memories at The Rockhopper!

The house has central heating and cooling to help keep guests comfortable all yearlong.

• NOISE
There is a strict noise ordinance in the area. No loud outside noise is permitted after 9pm

• STAR GAZING
For viewing of the night sky, it is best to keep all lighting to a minimum. This includes lighting inside the house that can bleed out the night sky. Moonless nights are of course the best.

• TRASH
When checking out please kindly tie up your trash and dispose of it in one of the trash cans outside.

• CRITTERS
There are bugs, bats and other desert critters that frequent the outside area of the property. They're fun to watch, and will leave you alone but we just want to be sure everyone is aware that since it's a remote desert property, they are occasionally present.

• SEPTIC
The house is on a septic system, please do not flush anything other than toilet paper.

• GUEST ACCESS
You will be sent a number code for the door code upon booking. Your code will be active ONLY during the time of your stay.

• FIRE
Due to the location and a current fire ban there is a strict no open flames fire policy BUT the propane fire pit located outside if allowed.
If it is discovered that you have started an outside fire, in a fire pit, using fireworks or other open fire (propane excluded when used IN the propane firepit and propane grill provided) means your rental agreement will be terminated and there is a $200 fine.

• PARKING
Please only park in the driveway and on the street - do not park in the empty lot next door. 4 CARS MAX.

• IDENTITY VERIFICATION
You will receive a text or email from Guest Ranger that will ask you to verify your identity and submit a picture of a government issued ID and a selfie. This information will be used to verify that the booking guest matches the credit card used and to help reduce any issues with identity theft. This process is mandatory to complete the booking. The data is protected in a hash-encrypted vault following data security standards including GDPR. Data-input in the vault is encrypted in a two-way function where information is scrambled using an encryption key and unscrambled later using a decryption key. On top of that, we use hashing to add an extra layer of security using a one-way function where a unique message digest is generated from an input file or a string of text. No keys are used.
