About this property

The Cherokee House in Joshua Tree!

Step into this well designed house and you will experience a feeling of calmness and sophistication. Enjoy dinners while looking out the mountains and listening to an old record on the vinyl player. Stargaze using the telescope at night and grill some s'mores over the open fire pit (when there is no fire ban). Sleep in one of the comfortable beds before you head out on a hike at the national park.
The house provides an escape from the noise and stress of the urban city life. The home is located in a peaceful residential neighborhood in Joshua Tree. The three bedrooms, two baths comfortable sleeps six people. The living room, kitchen and dining room has an open floor plan which creates a nice flow. The exterior patio is spacious with dining table, chairs, lounge chairs and bbq.

Desert Haven

We loved, loved loved our stay at Cherokee House! Beautifully & creatively appointed, very welcoming, extremely comfortable, had everything we needed - we couldn't wait to return to our temporary home at the end of each day.

Perfection in Joshua Tree

This is our 2nd stay at this fabulous property. It's a lovely home and Cia makes the check-in and accommodation process very easy. This home is located near the west entrance to the park and is comfortable, cozy and elegant. We love the views from the backyard and enjoyed both the indoor fireplace and outdoor firepit. . Highly recommend this home for a getaway.

Family trip to JTNP

The house/property was extremely well organized and in a great location just minutes to the west entrance of JTNP. Enjoyed the vista and sunrises and sitting by the fire after a long day of hiking. Cia is very prompt and helpful in answering all questions. The entire family had a great time, planning to come back in the future.

Hey! I’m glad you enjoyed your stay! You must have known there wasn’t any hot tub when you booked and as far as the road goes it’s probably a good 300 meters to it. Sincerely Cia

Perfect Rental!

We loved staying in this house! The house was spacious, clean & as described in the listing. The house was very well appointed with everything we could have needed on our trip (and more)!

Sibling reunion

We were finally able to gather together after four years to explore another national park. My brother, sister and I have been doing this for 24 years. Joshua Tree was chosen because my brother lives in Palm Springs. This house was perfect for us - great location for getting to the park for hikes. Very easy to get into town for delicious late lunches. Beautiful view of the mountains out the back of the house. We really enjoyed our stay. The owner was terrific with communication. Highly recommended

Perfection

The minute you pull up to the Cherokee House you can see it is a well-kept property. Honestly I've never stayed in any kind of home rental as nice as this. The house is well-appointed, lots of places to sit, eat. Bedrooms / baths were impeccable. She even provided a tray of snacks upon arrival - AND - there is a well-stocked Nespresso machine. The kitchen had everything you needed and there is a center island perfect for food prep. TONS of spices (such a rarity!) The beds were SOOOO comfy. Lastly the Hostess, was very responsive to the few questions we had along the way. I'm so happy we stayed here - felt like a home away from home :) Oh - it is super close to the JT National Forest - we went several times in the week we were there. Such a treat.
