I had an incredible stay here. The setting is absolutely beautiful, surrounded by boulders that make it feel like you’re tucked away in your own private corner of Joshua Tree. It was incredibly quiet and peaceful, and the stargazing at night was some of the best I’ve experienced.The interior is also thoughtfully designed. Every space feels intentional, comfortable, and fits perfectly with the desert surroundings. It’s one of those rentals that feels special the moment you arrive.I’ve stayed at several vacation rentals in the Joshua Tree area over the years, and this was by far the best experience. The combination of privacy, stunning natural surroundings, beautiful design, and overall atmosphere made it hard to leave. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful desert getaway.

Rockhill Ranch is wonderfully situated, just outside Joshua Tree Nationial Park. The location is very private and the outside space is extensive, well-kept and full of wildlife. The interior is charming, and well-stocked with amenities and local information. This was our fourth visit and we hope to be back.

Very lovely house, but the property is what we came for! Rock scrambling, enjoying the scenery, watching wildlife was what made this place perfection. The drive to the park is quick, or you can hike over the mountain in the back and find yourself in the park that way! Loved the place and would definitely come back in the future.

Unique stay with historic house nestled into the rocky mountainside and only few minutes to the park entrance!! Such a delight to hang out outside under the coveted dining area or the balcony or the hammock! Adorable quails running through, too! As noted, the gas grill and fire pit are finicky but we got them to work. Would love to come back again when the pool is open. Thank you!

Property is amazing and so many details are taken care of. Whenever we thought we would need something, we'd check a drawer or a shelf and it was there. We had a great time and really appreciate the communication with the host!

This was the most perfectly curated home we have ever stayed in. The attention to detail was impeccable. From the assortment of coffees, teas, and cocoas, to cozy blankets everywhere, a little holder for your rings, and even a sweet tray to carry your drinks to whatever of the comfortable rooms you choose to chill in, they truly thrive if everything to make it comfortable and cozy. There were games, brochures on things to do, beautiful lamps and lighting, and a selection of awesome dvds to choose from. And that’s not even talking about the sweet little gift they left us, or the view that is second to none! The hosts were kind, efficient, thoughtful, and just lovely. Joshua Tree has long been out happy place, but this stay was the best yet. So many thanks and so much love to you!

Incredible Stay....Will Be Back

We ABSOLUTELY LOVED this house & grounds. We visited during a very unusual snow storm. It was truly magical! It is centrally located for hiking in Joshua Tree & downtown to get something to eat. Jaime was super easy to communicate with & everything was perfect. We will fo r sure be back for another stay.

Rockhill Ranch - a wonderful location

This is a very special property, just outside the entrance to Joshua Tree. We watched the sun rise from bed in the morning and enjoyed reading in the 'rock room' in the evenings. The outside is secluded and imaginitevely laid out. We hope to be back.

A Happy Place

RockHill sits in an incredible cove of rocks that define Jashua Tree. The house is spacious, beautifully decorated and well appointed. Jamie was so gratious to us and went out of her way to help find a lost package. We even had Big Horn Sheep visit us one morning during breakfast!

Wonderful place to stay in Joshua Tree

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Joshua Tree. So close to the park yet worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. They have thought of everything. Exceptional communication and hospitality. We enjoyed all the animals including the visits from the Mountain Goats and the Quail family. We watched the sunrise from the deck and all the stars at night. We cooked in the fully stocked kitchen and simply enjoyed ourselves.

Perfect - Just Perfect

We could not have asked for a better experience. Just minutes away from the NP. Very private 5 acres. Everything you could need is included. The view was spectacular. Dark skies great for Night photography. Will definitely rent again when in the area.

Perfect Joshua Tree Escape

We had an amazing time at this property. Having visited JT a few times before this location was perfect for us, it’s as if you’ve got your own National Park as your back garden. Our boys (aged 10 & 12) spent very happy days exploring and climbing the rocks. The house is very well equipped so we mostly chilled out at the property and cooked delicious food. The house is immaculate and well styled, we would have no hesitation staying here again. One of our best Vrbo experiences.
