We had an amazing time! The location is great, a quick drive to town and the park, but you are remote enough to truly relax outside with great views. The house itself was very clean and well-stocked!

Quiet and beautiful

We came for quiet and star-gazing. The weather did not cooperate but that can’t be helped. Regardless, we had good quality family time in the desert hills. A truly beautiful place.

Amazing view and comfortable house

This house has an amazing view, and is very comfortable. Part of the appeal is how far it is from civilization, yet only a few minutes from the Joshua Tree park entrance or the town itself. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back!

A comfy nest in the desert

We are repeat visitors. We love the location high up in Joshua Tree Highlands. It's quiet with expansive views. We love the grounds, with comfortable outdoor seating. And the beds are comfortable! A rarity for VRBOs. The house has everything we could need or want. It's just wonderful.

Perfect location close to the city of Joshua Tree and the west park entrance. Quiet and peaceful. The family room has beautiful views. We watched a family of coyotes (4 adults , 3 youngsters) walk thru the north patio one morning.

Perfect Getaway

The zen house is a perfect getaway! Tucked away from the hustle of every day living this is a great place to unplug from the world and enjoy peace and quiet. It’s conveniently close to all the local spots in Pioneer Town. Most importantly, Vera is a very accommodating host and easily reachable for any and all questions. This is without a doubt a destination that we can’t wait to come back to!

We loved the Zen House

The Zen House truly has zen feel. There's a fabulous freestanding patio with comfortable seating and wonderful views. Just the place for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need. There are also gorgeous views from the living spaces. My two sisters and I the best time in this beautiful, peaceful place.

A relaxing stay and beautiful views

Vera is a wonderful host and we had a great stay at the Zen House. The views from the deck made for the perfect place to watch the sunrise and sunset, and the star gazing from the hot tub is fantastic. The house was very clean and we love the decor. We had plenty of towels and bathrobes. The kitchen had coffee, tea and pantry items like salt/pepper and oil. One thing to note is that you'll be on a long gravel road leading up to the house.

Beautiful

We loved this house! This is our 2nd visit to Joshua Tree and this was better than the first time. The house is beautiful and nicely updated. The kitchen has everything. The windows and the views are amazing! We loved the record player and being able to cook on the grill. The hot tub was absolutely awesome under the stars. We were there during a new moon and it was magical sitting in the hot tub looking at the Milky Way.

Awesome property, great views, quiet, the stars at night!

Lovely property, mid century but new kitchen with everything we needed and new bathrooms, hot tub was perfect with the outdoor shower! Binders and small notes made everything easy. Very comfy beds! And plenty of room for 5 adults and our dog. It’s desert but very few chollas on the property to worry about with our dog. Night sky was awesome! 2 miles from the JTP entrance so that was great! Property manager wanted to know when we arrived and left- unnecessary, since we had her number if we needed anything. Would highly recommend as one of the best houses we have stayed at!!!

This was our fourth stay

Over the course of 11 years, we've logged a total of 99 nights. So you know we love it. Over that time, we've seen changes of ownership, renovations to the house, steep price increases, and lots of changes in the JT & JT Highlands community. But one constant is the property manager, Vera, who does a great job. The house is well stocked and in general, conducive for living in. What brings me back, even in June when the AC fails to keep up with the heat, is the peace and quiet. Between that, the quails and the view from the patio, it rejuvenates. Of course, not all is perfect... Aside from the general hell of dealing with VRBO and their added fee, there are a few minor suggestions... I would love a deeper cleaning of the house... rugs shampooed, vents vacuumed. Also, an AC in the living room that actually works, a sharpened chef's knife, new towels/sheets (pretty sure we've seen the same ones for 11 years). But these are lesser, fixable issues. Of a more serious nature are some challenges to the Zen-like feel. Too much noise on occasion from another rental house nearby that seems designed for partying. Sound really carries in this area ! And now, I hear rumors that another house may be built on the property. Should that happen, we will not be back. Simple as that.

I can't say enough great things about the property. If you're looking for an amazing mid-century modern aesthetic, that has a wonderfully equipped kitchen, amazing living spaces and bedrooms with wonderful areas for stargazing and relaxing, this place has it all. Mara, the owner, was always very quick to respond to questions I had prior to my arriving as well as being responsive after I got there. If you're stargazing, the views to the north, north west are perfect...so the views of the milky way and the Andromeda Galaxy were great. Additionally, the property is just off the road into the park, so it was very easy to head into the park for the day. My family and I will definitely be returning to Casa Rocosa.

We loved the location, so close to Joshua Tree National Park. The view of the sunrise from the patio was wonderful. We enjoyed the feeling of privacy and space at the house. The gravel road to the house was rutted, but an SVU will get you there. We would stay there again.
