Whether you’re a rock scrambler, a trail rambler, or just want to soak up the vibes of our peaceful desert paradise, Rancho Rockotillo will soothe your soul. Original Joshua Tree homesteaders believed that the more giant rocks and boulders, the greater the desireability of their property – and our newly restored 1950’s homestead cabin sits steps away from some of the most towering, beautiful boulders bordering the park. Perfect for writer/musician/artist retreat, or romantic getaway - sleeps 1 - 3 in clean, light-filled, airy space with full view windows and doors. Newly refreshed comfortable cabin with open bedroom/common area includes all of which can be seen from the comfort of our latest, brand new, super comfortable Nectar premium memory foam mattress/queen-sized bed, perfect for guests of all sizes and sleeping positions. There's also a cozy full-size convertible sofa in the same common cabin area right next to this platform bed, so please note that these are not in private bedrooms. Fully-equipped open kitchen features breakfast bar seating and all new appliances, along with all the cookware, spices and tools needed to whip up a meal, separate dining area/work station, wi-fi and both French press and pour over coffee makers. We provide the coffee and tea, you bring the food! Soak, chill and stargaze in the large, well-maintained Jacuzzi hot tub with powerful jets and amazing view, enjoy the rainfall showerhead and boulder seating in the cabin's cool open shower bathroom, and play your favorite music from your smartphone or CDs on the in-house Bluetooth stereo. Rancho Rockotillo offers acres to roam, private hiking trails, and of course stunning visuals including ocotillo, pine, eucalyptus, juniper, fruit and Joshua Trees as well as jackrabbits, tortoises, chuckwallas, coyotes, bobcats, bighorn sheep and yes, even the occasional glimpse of a mountain lion. The Rancho sits less than 3/4 mile from the national park's west entrance, and 7 minutes from the vibrant Joshua Tree Village cafe, art gallery, farmers market and nightlife scene. The music of the wind playing through the canyons, along with our living soundtrack provided by doves, quail, owls, ravens, hawks, hummingbirds and singing coyotes, will relax and inspire, making Rancho Rockotillo the perfect short or long term artist, musician or writer's retreat, as well as a couple's oasis. And the starry night sky must be seen to be believed – the Milky Way in all its majesty, and if you time it right, spectacular all night meteor showers to take your breath away! Redesigning and refurbishing the simple cabin where a family of four adventurous homesteaders once lived has truly been a labor of love for us, from my husband Curt’s custom door-mount coat hooks made from antique railroad spikes to his handcast concrete bathroom counter. And we’re proud to have created unique furniture and cool desert decor from recycled cabin features and local Sky Village swapmeet finds, too! The cabin's rear wall now has the perfect huge picture window for wildlife watching, stargazing and desert dreaming, plus the new soaring ceilings with clerestory window accents allow passage of light and a cooling breeze throughout. Fully draped sliding glass doors to the east also open the central cabin space to spectacular sunrises, an outdoor seating and propane BBQ grill area with comfy full-size hammock, and even more amazing scenic vistas to enjoy with pillars of weather-worn rocks sculpted by time. There’s also a fun, cool story behind the 900 pound boulder conveniently placed in the bathroom's open shower as well – just one more one-of-a-kind aspect of Rancho Rockotillo! We’ve waited almost 20 years from when we first settled in to renew the original homestead cabin on our property and to invite you, our very special guests, to come share and enjoy your own memorable time in rural Joshua Tree. Curt and I also have a house on the property and enjoy visiting as often as we possibly can, but there will only be as much interaction as you desire. Whether we are onsite or off, we look forward to instantly responding to any questions you may have. And for your security and protection, we now have a Ring Video Doorbell, but rest assured this is our ONLY camera on the property, and we only confirm front of door activity upon arrival. Also please note – due to liability issues and as stated in our house rules, we are unable to welcome any non-registered guests or extra vehicles onto the property without prior consent. Also, this is the SoCal desert, and local wildlife you may encounter on and off the Rancho property can possibly include bobcats, coyotes, rattlesnakes, mountain lions and various insects. Please stay aware when out and about! Thanks for understanding. We hope you’ll visit our Joshua Tree haven soon, and make it your high desert homestead away from home!

Very isolated in the best way. Host was very attentive and responsive. An authentic Joshua Tree experience. Would stay again. ##### Carlos F.

The house is perfectly located right at the West Entrance of Joshua Tree NP and is very charming, comfortable and comes with a luxurious bathroom. And finally star gazing from the hot tub was just perfect. ##### Thomas J. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Holly N.

We just returned from 3 nights here and were sad to leave. Just as described-kitchen very well stocked, spa perfect for post-hike muscles, and miles to explore in the backyard. Just a mile or so from the north entrance of the National Park, we were able to get in early and back to homebase quickly. Host very helpful and responsive. Can't wait for our next trip to Joshua Tree so we can enjoy this cabin again! ##### Holly N. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Madeline L.

Not only was the house cute and comfy with a great kitchen, but waking up to views of the rocks and clear sky every morning with no sign of other people was amazing. We could see the stars every night from the hot tub and the location was so convenient to get into the national park or go into town for food and exploring. We will definitely be coming back to visit- this place was magical! ##### Madeline L. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geneva A.

Rustic but also modern and comfortable, and had everything we needed for a 3 night stay. The trails in back of property provided excellent opportunity for us to peacefully explore away from the crowds of Joshua tree once we had spent two days hiking in the park. This place was so quiet and scerene! Exactly what we needed. ##### Geneva A. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cecilia C.

May 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Immersive and Isolated Perfection! Laurie & Curt’s rancho was exactly what I was looking for… isolated from other properties and immersed in the desert. Literally right outside the back door are massive boulders as well trails that lead into a canyon that’s technically Joshua Tree NP. Not to mention the west park entrance is only a five minute drive away. The place itself is small but perfect and stocked with everything that’s needed. Laurie was so communicative and helpful. Definitely will be coming back!! ##### Matthew F. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janella J. Jan 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A hidden beauty in the boulders What a fantastic rental. The beauty just out the back door was splendid! The photos do not do the cabin and the locale justice. We spent our first night exploring out back at sunset. It was a glorious sunset playing hues as a backdrop to the boulders. Very close to the NP entry. Easy to travel into town for dinner or any essentials. We were sad our time came to an end so soon. ##### Janella J. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Daniel S Nov 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication We enjoyed the remoteness of the property with its open access to a wide swath of high desert near Joshua Tree Park. The kitchen was fully stocked with lots of food and drink and utensils. It was nice to have a hot tub on the property but if you want to use it the night you arrive, be sure to crank up the temperature right away as it takes a long time to heat up from the 80 deg it was at when we got there. The one nit we had to pick was the nosiness of the fridge and mini-split which took awhile to get used. ##### Daniel S Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica K. Mar 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Extended Weekend Birthday Get-Away The Rancho is an amazing location with spectacular views. There's nothing like waking up to the desert scenery and having coffee outside. We would stroll down the path into the desert with our GoPro. We thoroughly enjoyed, and needed, the use of the hot tub after each day of hiking in Joshua Tree National Park. We also greatly appreciated that our hosts responded quickly to our communications. Compared to other VRBO stays at other locations, the Rancho was supplied with towels for the kitchen and bathroom, paper products, shampoos, conditioners and many other items (even finger nail clippers, which I needed)! We would definitely stay here again! ##### Erica K.
