About this property
Cosmic Rabbit - Family Friendly home w/Hot Tub
Summary:
Gather your family at the Cosmic Rabbit, a playful and welcoming haven designed for guests of all ages to gather, unwind, and explore. Perfectly situated in Joshua Tree, this cheerful home combines whimsical desert charm with the spacious, thoughtful comforts that make traveling together an absolute breeze. Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat under the stars or a lively basecamp for family and friends, it offers the ideal balance of relaxation, togetherness, and easygoing desert adventure.
The Space:
The layout inside is built for seamless connection, offering plenty of room for group game nights, cozy movie marathons, and shared home-cooked meals. A bright, fully equipped kitchen makes prepping gourmet dinners or quick snacks completely hassle-free, while the plush, comfortable bedrooms ensure everyone gets a deep, restful night of sleep after a busy day on the trails.
Stepping into the expansive backyard opens up a whole new world of outdoor entertainment under the open sky. You can spend sunny afternoons playing games, lounging on the patio, and soaking in the views, then gather the whole crew around the fire pit as dusk falls to stargaze under a canopy of bright desert constellations. Located just minutes from the iconic rock formations and scenic paths of Joshua Tree National Park, Cosmic Rabbit makes exploring the great outdoors easy, exciting, and accessible for everyone.
From sound baths and in-home massages to stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Southern California, we've handpicked local vendors to match whatever mood you're in. Book a personal chef for a lazy night in, saddle up for a horseback ride, or take a guided hike through the National Park or other local trails. However you want to spend your time here, relaxing or adventuring, the desert (and our favorite locals) has you covered. Once your reservation is confirmed, let us know you are interested and we will connect you!

Guest Policy: We only allow the number of guests listed as the maximum occupancy for this property, so any additional day guests must be requested and approved in advance. No extra overnight guests are permitted beyond those included in your reservation.

Had a great stay here with my best friend. The place is very well equipped and the area is safe, the couch is a bit strange to sit on but not a big deal.
We enjoyed the spacious home and backyard. Very thoughtful selection in home decor and outdoor furniture. It was a beautiful stay! Not too far from restaurants, the national park, and stores
This was the perfect getaway location for my friends and me. We had a perfect view of the sunset and sunrise and it was overall a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. We even had an owl visit us during our stay which was really neat to see!
This is a wonderful home! The location is perfect as it is very close to town center. The backyard is spacious and the bedrooms and common areas are cozy. Perfect place if you’re looking to relax between trips to the park/town. The check-in and check-out processes were very easy as they provide all info needed virtually and in a timely manner. Would definitely stay here again!
Overall met expectations. Cowboy pool was a nice reprieve from heat, good privacy in backyard, AC was welcome. Fine for exploring National Park and surrounding area with a homebase to cook (very basic kitchen amenities) and refrigerate. Not as polished as pictures show, but living space has some neat vintage decor.

Lots of bugs
From the moment we entered the house to the day we left we killed at least 5 bugs. When we first got to the house there were bugs all over the kitchen sink and window and when I went to wash my hands in the master bathroom a huge spider fell into the sick and almost landed in my hands. Disgusting. Be aware of lots of hidden bugs behind curtains or in the puzzle box. Other than the bugs issue the backyard is completely open to the neighborhood. There’s no gate or warning if anyone walks into the backyard. The house itself has plenty of pantry items though all very scratched up but it’s missing a lot of little nice to have things like tissues, hand lotion, and fly swatters.
Overall we enjoyed our stay! Sleep wasn’t the best in the lower bed, maybe it was the pillows and I could have used a dimmer in the kids room for putting the baby down and / or a nightlight … but other than that we enjoyed our time.
It was windy so we weren’t able to really enjoy the hot tub, it’s far from the back door entrance but it really has the best view on a calm day.
Great neighborhood, centralized with hiking just out the door! Will be back.
Great family-friendly spot in Joshua Tree; Super close to the park
We loved staying here on our recent visit to Joshua Tree. The house had all we needed. If you're out and about all day at the park or other spots this is the perfect place to have as home base. The furniture is getting a little worn and not the most comfortable though this is secondary given the house's close proximity to the park and other amenities.
This house is located an east drive to grocery stores and the park. The hot tub never got quite hot enough and the hot water in the house ran out quick with 6 of us showering and taking baths. My kids were disappointed that the tee pee in the picture was not there but they loved the backyard and it made for a great spot for our Easter egg hunt.
