Secluded home - grand views, hot-tub & cowboy dip

Wow!! We absolutely LOVED our stay at this gorgeous home! Everything was just as it looked in the pictures, and even better! The house was spotless, the beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of space for everyone. Annie was delightful and ensured the house had plenty of necessities including hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, laundry soap, etc. this seems like a small thing until you are flying across the country to a rental property and then it becomes a luxury! The property is amazing with Joshua trees, rolling hills, various cactus plants and stunning views! We loved spending time in the hot tub at night and stargazing! The location is about 20 minutes to Joshua Tree National Park, which offered great exploring! We also spent one day in Palm Springs and took the Tahquitz Canyon hike up to a beautiful waterfall! Highly recommend!! If you want to get away from it all and enjoy some quiet serenity this is the place!

This is a very spacious property inside and outside. The privacy and serene environment was what we all needed from our busy lives. It was very hot on the days we were there but the house was so comfortable and everything we needed was there and then some. Annie & her husband do a great job with the lifestyle amenities and everything is thought out for a comfortable stay. This is an outstanding VRBO. Well run and taken care of. We will be back.

My husband and I spent three nights at this lovely home in May, and we couldn't have asked for a better stay in Joshua Tree. Annie was amazing, the house was spotless, everything we needed was there, the bed was comfy, the decor was beautiful and the local wildlife was wonderful to see. I can't say enough good things. If you're looking for a place to stay in the Yucca Valley, look no further and book this before it's too late!

Wow. What a place!!! First time staying out in the Yucca Valley/Joshua Tree area and couldn't be happier with the house that we found. Beautifully appointed and designed top to bottom, inside and out. Huge bedrooms with clean fresh and super comfortable beds. Super well stocked kitchen and everything you need for a relaxing time in the desert. Bbq, HotTub, Hammock, Record Player, DVDS, Binoculars for wildlife and star gazing. Communication with owner was friendly, easy and informative. Thank you for the coffe and the wine. Very nice touch. The Location is perfect...basically the last house in a small collection of homes in the area...lovely hikes right outside your door.......15 min drive to anything you need....supermarkets, bars, flea market, restaurants etc Our small group had the most relaxing time ever and I would not hesitate to stay here again......in fact I'm already thinking about when that will be. A+ rating all around.

Just. . . So incredible. I took my wife and our kids for a couple of nights, thinking we'd go to the desert and relax for a bit. We were blown away, to say the least. Annie's home (not a house, but a home) is everything you see in the pictures, but just 10 times better in person. If a building could personify a hug, then this is it. Amenities were absolutely top notch! All that to say, you're surrounded by the most beautiful desert scenery, and the house itself almost melts away from existence. I think the highlight of it all was the gentle breeze with the crystal clear nighttime skies, completely filled with stars. If Annie will have us, we will absolutely be back. Unforgettable.

We really enjoyed our stay! Annie was very accommodating and a great host, the views and surroundings of the place were breathtaking, we were fortunate enough to see the snow !

Annie's property invites sonorous experiences. The surrounding area is quiet, except for occasional wildlife allowing musical conversation and contemplation. I simply loved this home from the beautiful landscaped desert hills; the open minimalist rooms and long tables. I played Miles Davis and the Eagles on the turntable. Annie was a warm and thorough host. I am longing for another stay at stay.

This property is perfect. Isolated from the noise of the highway, but close enough to town; near some amazing hikes; wonderfully decorated and has everything you need in the kitchen. I've been coming to Joshua Tree for almost a decade and this house was by far one of the best I've stayed at. And, I can't remember the last time I saw so many stars!!! There were four of us over the weekend, but the property is definitely comfortable for a party of six. Annie was an amazing host. Can't wait to return!

I spent 10 wonderful days at Roadrunner Ridge in November, 2022. The house (which was spotless upon arrival) has an open, user-friendly layout, with every possible amenity, especially in the kitchen. The views are amazing in every direction, including up (at night, when you can see the Milky Way). The grounds are beautiful, with fine specimens of pretty much the entire Mojave Desert microcosm (Joshua trees, palo verde, mesquite bushes, desert willows, and all sorts of cactuses, including some very nice chollas). In the dead of November I saw jackrabbits, quail, an intrepid hummingbird, and a roadrunner; I also heard some coyotes and a great horned owl. Outside there are over half a dozen little spots — tables, chairs, lounges, a fire pit, etc. — to gather and chill. The spa deserves a special mention both for being beautifully situated and for heating up in silence (which seems to be a rarity these days). Nearby (an easy walk from the house) is some excellent hiking on federal land that rivals the national park in its richness — except you don’t have to drive there, you don’t have to wait in line, and you’ll almost always have the trail entirely to yourself. And it’s free! Sometimes it seems as if the “O” in VRBO can get overlooked: many properties are now actually rented out by agencies. With the host of Roadrunner Ridge, Annie, you’re dealing with a real person who takes great care of her own home. Annie was welcoming and super-responsive, especially when there was a power glitch one day. It was so reassuring to be dealing with a live human being who knows the house and the area inside and out. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. The home, the grounds, the location: everything was perfect. I only wish that the roadrunner I saw on my first morning would have paid a visit every day…

What an incredible stay! I’ve often found myself showing up to an vacation rental and thinking… this doesn’t look like the pictures. We’ll this rental EXCEEDED the pictures. The finishing touches at the house were so thoughtful. From nice kitchenware (literally everything we could imagine needing was in there) to big comfy wool blankets to wrap ourselves in by the outdoor fire, Annie thought of everything. We loved sitting out by the big fire pit (those flames got big and let off some great heat in the cold night), spending time on the patio in the morning playing board games, hanging in the hammock during the day and looking at the desert landscapes, and soaking in the jacuzzi tub at night and watching the stars. The property was great with lots of little areas to explore. And the bedrooms were nice too! The two bedrooms had comfy beds with big comfortable bathrooms. The den did the job, not quite as comfy as the other two beds but definitely doable for someone who likes a firmer mattress! Also the house is in a super convenient location. Close to vons and Walmart for any supplies or groceries you need and just a quick drive to Joshua Tree. Convenient but still so private! Overall, can’t recommend this spot enough. My friends were raving about the stay. We’ll be back!
