About this house rental
The Sunset Road House is a two bed, two bath newly renovated 1952 homesteader cabin just 15 minutes from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park in Joshua Tree, CA.
We have designed this home so that our guests can unplug and relax while enjoying all the modern amenities. Enjoy the spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the expansive deck and relax in the hot tub at night surrounded by open desert views, wildlife, and a starry, starry sky.
We recently did a total renovation (down to the studs!) on this mid-century gem so it has every modern amenity for you to enjoy. It sits on 5 gorgeous acres which you can explore during your visit. You must drive a couple of unpaved roads to access the house but no visitor has had a issue so far, Prius included! Local residents include rabbits, roadrunners, turtles, coyotes and all manner of desert creatures. Our favorite thing about the property is that it truly feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Check in and tune out :)
The large, open concept living space has a modern kitchen, dining space and living room area. There are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The master has a king bed (with en suite bathroom) and the second bedroom has two twin beds which can be converted into a king, at your request. The second bedroom also has a full bathroom. The home works well for a group of friends, two couples, or small families. If you need accommodation for more guests we also have a recently renovated vintage travel trailer available for rent near by. Feel free to inquire about our other properties! We welcome pets with a $50 pet fee per pet.
The Sunset Road House is about a 12 minute drive to downtown Joshua Tree (fun shops, restaurants & bars) and a 15 minute drive to the Joshua Tree National Park Visitors Center at the west entrance of the park. In addition to hiking, we are close to the renowned Integratron (a healing sound bath experience) or enjoy a tour of the Gubler Orchid Farm. If you are looking for a little action, head on over to Pioneertown (25 min drive) and visit the Old West movie set before dinner and drinks at the famous music venue, Pappy & Harriet's. You might even get lucky and see The Rolling Stones do a set!
At The Sunset Road House there is a fabulous swimming pool (seasonal) and both a bocce ball court and a horseshoe pit... or do absolutely nothing and lie on the chaise lounges, looking out at the expansive desert by day and/or soaking in the hot tub at night under a blanket of stars. Take in the desert air in the private outdoor shower whenever it strikes your fancy!

We camped a few nights in Joshua Tree, then stayed a few nights here and treated it as a home base for exploring the region. It was super easy to find and get in. It was clean, cozy, and cute. It was well-stocked — coffee, kitchen implements, coffee paraphernalia, fresh towels, shampoo, soap, etc. Perfect for resetting and removing that stinky, camping goodness. While there, we took advantage of the grill, fire pit, hot tub, and really enjoyed the remoteness and how quiet it was. The hosts were also extremely transparent, helpful, and very quick to respond to any questions.

Just a few hours from LA, and the city falls away — traded for quiet skies, golden light, and the slow exhale of the desert.I arrived with my mind full of city noise and left with nothing but space to breathe.The desert opens up here — vast skies shifting from deep blue to molten gold, the kind of quiet that grounds you without asking.Upon arrival, a chilled bottle of bubbles waits patiently, and the house welcomes you with bright, minimalist colors — nothing too much, nothing too little — just enough to let peace settle in.Evenings begin in the hot tub beneath the cool night air, stars stretching endlessly overhead. When the temperature dips and the hot tub has worked its magic, you drift to the fireplace — the glow wrapping you in warmth as the night deepens, a cozy story told in flicker and flame, the sweet scent of s’mores melting into the air.Days are perfectly tempered by the crisp, refreshing AC indoors. Out here, there is no rush — only the soft permission to be. And as the sun dips, the desert night joins your table like an old friend.This is more than a rental; it is a sanctuary to rest. I’m already looking forward to returning.

Daughter loved the pool, I loved the hammocks, we loved that it wasn’t in the middle of a large community
