Great Base for Exploring Joshua Tree

We enjoyed our stay at Rockview. We were right next to amenities in the town of Joshua Tree and just a few miles from the entrance to the park. The house was perfect as a place to rest and relax after a day of travel or hiking. The backyard tub was a hit!

Perfect accommodations!

We only had two days to climb in Joshua Tree but wished we had more time to enjoy this lovely house! It was very clean and comfortable with a great location. It was stocked including some “extras” you don’t typically see. The yard was delightful as well. Highly recommend this colorful and charming desert house! We will stay here again!

Perfect weekend getaway

We had an awesome time at this beautiful house. It felt more spacious than we expected. The fenced-in backyard was perfect for lounging and to give our dog some room to roam! The host was super welcoming and responsive. All of our questions were answered promptly and we felt comfortable knowing she was available. I highly recommend this property for visits to Joshua Tree. The location was perfect and everything you’d be interested in doing is in close proximity.

Perfect desert home for Joshua Tree adventures

The house is cozy, organized, and a super pleasant home base. The location is great for easy access to Joshua Tree west entrance (or go down to 29 Palms if crowded). Had a fabulous time hiking early, then returning to nap in the tasteful backyard. Returned for more JTNP, then BBQ carne asada in the backyard. Great kitchen btw. I’m sure to return. Host is on top of her game.

Super Cute and Convenient

The little house is a gem and has a great retro vibe. The décor and artwork really make it feel like a dessert stay. The house is within walking distance to Joshua Tree Visitor Center (where you can also pick up coffee and great sandwiches for your day trip) and also to other shops and eating places on the main road. Kristin, the host was readily accessible by text and check-in and out was a breeze. We really appreciated being able to have our older dog welcomed as well. We were only there 3 nights, but Kristin had everything you would need to stay a week or longer and cook more. We did use the Weber grill outside but unfortunately, we didn't take advantage of the cute yard space as it was too cold and windy.

This home was amazing! All the little details made it feel so special and cozy. Our dog loved the fenced backyard and so did we. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and we even used the grill outside. Kristin was super friendly and even called us to chat when we had a question. It's about a 5 minute walk to the main street, make sure to visit Joshua Tree Saloon and Joshua Tree coffee. I would 100% stay here again.

This was such a perfect getaway. The backyard was our favorite part of the property, with the outdoor bathtub as well as multiple areas to lounge. The owner was very sweet and communicative, and it's so close to the national park (mind you the park is big, so it's still a drive to get to some trails, but we were pretty close) and we were still central to nearby to eat and shop at. Overall, such a great place to stay at!
