Skip and Monica’s place is great! The pool area is amazing—lovely pool, hot tub, outdoor games, tables for dining, a fire pit, great views of the stars. The house was super well appointed. It had everything we needed and more. And it’s only 10 mins from the closest hike in Joshua Tree and maybe 25 from the main Joshua Tree (town) entrance.

This property is perfect. Pool and jacuzzi were great and there are tons of games to play in the large backyard. Beautifully landscaped with amazing Joshua Trees in the back and the front yard is beautiful too. The house has everything you could want to cook and the big screen TV in the living room was a real treat for us. It's huge.Thank you Monica and Skip for our wonderful anniversary trip. And thank you for the flowers. Awesome touch.

The owners cared about the details and the guests comfort. When we had some issues with the pool heating they got right on it to make it all right. So close to Joshua Tree and the ones in the yard are huge., our little dog had a great time exploring the whole place! Thank you,great stay!

Monica and Skip's rental is a true standout -- a genuine home away from home. It is thoughtfully equipped with everything a couple, family, or group of friends could need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen is especially well-stocked for those who enjoy cooking, while the heated pool, hot tub, and inviting outdoor spaces make it easy to unwind -- and remain unwound! Whether you're swimming, lounging in the shade, or grilling and dining al fresco, the setting is ideal. Tucked away on a quiet street yet just minutes from the spectacular Joshua Tree National Park, the location strikes a perfect balance between seclusion and convenience. A special note of thanks to Monica, who called shortly after our arrival to ensure we had everything we needed. We did! This place is a gem. Don't miss it!

I do not normally do a review, but this property is truly exceptional for a fun weekend with family and friends. There are plenty of pool floaties and if you bring your own there is an air compressor for your use. Young grandkids brought their bikes to ride at the park. Turns out they road them all over the backyard.

Our second time at Hidden Gold. So easy and comfortable to settle in. It is in such a great location in YV… close to everything, but up toward the foothills in a quiet neighborhood of large parcels. The owners have so thoughtfully arranged and stocked the house, you won’t lack for anything. The pool and backyard were the centerpiece for us. Fun and relaxing for all. And, well, there are Joshua Trees all around the property. Very cool.

About the host

Hosted by Skip Wells

Host profile image
Skip and Monica are experienced real estate investors with a passion for providing memorable hospitality experiences to our guests. With four vacation rentals in La Quinta and Yucca Valley, we've developed a deep understanding of what it takes to create the perfect getaway.

Our team consists of Monica, a former Dental Hygienist, and myself, a former Senior Vice President of Commercial Banking. We live near the beach in Southern California and we're committed to providing exceptional service to our guests. We take pride in ensuring that our properties are beautifully appointed, immaculately clean, and include all the amenities you need to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

We love the hospitality business and are so grateful for all of our wonderful guests. It brings us great joy to hear that our guests have had an amazing stay and we take all feedback to heart as we strive to make our properties even better. We can't wait to welcome you to one of our properties and share the beauty of the desert with you.

Why they chose this property

Our property is located in a peaceful and quiet residential section of Yucca Valley, making it the perfect retreat for those looking to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the desert. Plus, you'll be within walking distance to the boundary of Joshua Tree National Park and just a short 15-minute drive to the official park entrance in Joshua Tree. If you're interested in camping, the Black Rock Canyon Campground is also conveniently nearby.

For those looking to explore the surrounding area, we're just a short drive away from Pioneertown and Pappy & Harriet's, two must-see destinations in the area. You won't have to worry about navigating any dirt roads to get to our property, and you'll have easy access to abundant shopping options like Walmart, Stater Brothers, Dollar Store, Grocery Outlet, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and Vons. Plus, there are plenty of dining options nearby, so you'll never have to go far to find a great meal. We believe our property is the perfect home base for anyone looking to experience the best of the desert and we look forward to hosting you!

What makes this property unique

Getting around Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree is a breeze, with Highway 62 running through the entire city. Along the way, you'll find Morongo Valley gas stations, Cactus Mart, and a variety of unique vintage stores with cafes sprinkled in. Be sure to stop by the Frontier Cafe on Pioneer Road and Hwy 62 before checking out the art display at the ACME gift shop out back, and don't miss the inviting Hoof and Post and other nearby shops.

There are also several grocery stores along Hwy 62, including Stater Brothers, Vons, and Grocery Outlet, as well as a row of fast food options that includes Arby’s, McDonald's, Del Taco, Sonics, and Starbucks. Towards Yucca Valley's end, you'll find the Super Walmart and Home Depot, along with more chain eateries like Steak and Shake, Panda Express, and Taco Bell.

Joshua Tree City is home to stunning scenic views and unique stores, including the must-visit Rock Shop and Joshua Tree Coffee. If you're up for an adventure, head down Park Ave. to discover Coyote Corner, JT Saloon (which can have a long wait but is worth it), JT Visitor Center, and the Crochet Museum.

Park Ave. is also the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, where you can explore the breathtaking landscapes and take on a variety of hikes. Note that there is a fee of around $30.00 to enter the park, but it's well worth it. Our favorite hike is Parker Dam, and we highly recommend checking out the photo-worthy Skull Rock while you're there.
