Summary:

Located right in downtown Joshua Tree, The RockHopper is the ultimate hangout spot for family adventures. With four cozy queen bedrooms, a fully fenced backyard for the kids to run wild, a bubbling hot tub, and a fire pit made for roasting s’mores, this sunny home puts you minutes from boulder climbing and yummy local ice cream.



The Space:

Inside, there is plenty of elbow room for everyone to spread out, featuring four sunny bedrooms with plush queen beds and an open living room made for movie nights. The big kitchen is ready for messy pancake breakfasts or quick trail snacks before heading out to explore. Outside, the fully enclosed backyard becomes your private playground, featuring a gas grill for breezy cookouts, a huge patio table for family dinners, and a warm hot tub where everyone can kick back after a full day of desert fun.



This house makes traveling with your crew totally effortless and fun. You can stroll into town for morning donuts, check out the weekend market, or take a quick ten minute drive to clamber over giant boulders at Joshua Tree National Park. When you get home, the kids can burn off their last bit of energy in the secure yard while the adults kick back in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit for s’mores, and count shooting stars under the giant desert sky.

LOCAL ADD-ON EXPERIENCES

From sound baths and in-home massages to stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Southern California, we've handpicked local vendors to match whatever mood you're in. Book a personal chef for a lazy night in, saddle up for a horseback ride, or take a guided hike through the National Park or other local trails. However you want to spend your time here, relaxing or adventuring, the desert (and our favorite locals) has you covered. Once your reservation is confirmed, let us know you are interested and we will connect you!



Guest Access:

Guests will have access to the entire house and property.



Getting Around:

We recommend traveling by car to explore Joshua Tree for maximum flexibility, as ride sharing services are unreliable. If you prefer not to drive, the local taxi service Lucky 777 is a dependable option. Our property offers free parking for up to four vehicles to ensure your car is kept secure during your stay.



Other Things to Note:

3:00PM Check-In: We'd love for you to check in before 8pm so you have plenty of daylight to settle in and get comfortable before dark.



Parking : Please only park in the driveway, there is no street parking permitted.



HVAC: Central heating and air conditioning are provided throughout the home to keep guests comfortable in every season.



Pets Allowed: We welcome dogs for a fee of $60 per dog, with a maximum of 2 dogs per stay. Please note that no other pets are permitted at this property.



Guest Policy: We only allow the number of guests listed as the maximum occupancy for this property, so any additional day guests must be requested and approved in advance. No extra overnight guests are permitted beyond those included in your reservation.



Watch your Step: This desert land holds onto bits of its past, so you may spot the occasional rusty object or piece of glass in the yard, please wear shoes anytime you're outside. You'll also be sharing the landscape with local snakes and scorpions. They want nothing to do with you, so if you see one, just back away calmly and quietly



Wood Burning Fires: We do not permit wood-burning fires anywhere on the property at any time, including in fire pits or fireplaces, due to the high risk of wildfire in our area. This policy is strictly enforced for the safety of our guests, neighbors, and the surrounding landscape,.



Desert Critters: Please keep doors closed while entering and exiting, curious critters will let themselves in given the chance. Desert wildlife is part of what makes this area special, expect sightings of jackrabbits, tortoises, roadrunners, quail, and lizards. You may also spot coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, or occasionally a bobcat or mountain lion. Most just want their space, so it's best to give them yours.



Camera/ Decibel Monitor: This property has forward-facing exterior security cameras, but there are no cameras anywhere inside the home. We also use noise decibel monitors indoors to help avoid disturbing neighbors. These only measure sound levels and never record audio.



Interaction with Guests:

We like to respect our guest’s privacy, so you won’t see too much of us. We will be available to answer any questions and to make your stay more enjoyable but can come by if needed.

    The home was exactly as described—very clean, very spacious, backyard hot tub a plus esp for star gazing! Super quiet… reason for 4 stars: back door latch was not working properly, kitchen could have had few more items available (foil, Saran Wrap, ziploc bags etc but not a deal-breaker)- definitely recommend!

    Great location. Two couches lots of towel. The beds were comfortable. We didn’t use the hot tub walked around the neighborhood. Unfortunately, one of the beds had stained sheets, and there were dirty blankets in the closet of a different bedroom and a dirty margarita cup under a bed. Very convenient as we went to Joshua Tree.

    Hot tub was warm and ready, though very heavily chlorinated, I had to open cover to off gas it a bit... I am guessing it was treated right before we got there. Minor issue, There was a slight smell the to unit, almost like dirty mop water, that persisted the first afternoon. Other than that the hoses was exactly as advertised and well priced. Thank you!

    The house was very clean and well maintained and spacious for our family of 6 adults. The backyard was wonderful. We used the spa and the fire pit and the grill. It was a wonderful stay.

    Convenient location, comfortable beds, clean house, well-stocked kitchen for those who like to cook. Despite the inclusion of Pet Friendly under Amenities, once rented all subsequent info stated NO PETS -- very misleading. Minor maintenance issues (clogged tub drain, oven & patio door fixes needed) made a 5-star property into a 4.

    The property is in a fantastic location, in between the Joshua Tree Visitor Center and the entrance gate. Can walk to the area restaurants and shops. Had a great amount of space, each of the 4 bed rooms were nice. Back yard was really nice!

    Great location and amenities. Very comfortable for 6 adults. Mitch table can fit 8. We enjoyed the backyard at night and used the jacuzzi and gas fire table. You can easily walk into the main town and close drive to the markets. I reached out to the owner twice w no response. The Vrbo help line took a message w no call back about staying later. We really liked the home, yard and location and would be happy to return.

    My family of 5 had the perfect stay while spending the weekend in Joshua Tree! The property location is well maintained, clean and stylish. Our beds were super comfortable and everyone had a restful nights sleep. We utilized the hot tub and it was such a treat to have that to enjoy after a long day. The location is so close to the town and also the park entrance. It was super convenient for a short stay. We appreciated all the suggested eateries in the area and were able to try a few while in town. We highly recommend this property and would definitely book again!
