    Across the Street from Joshua Tree
    My son and I were looking for convenience and access to the park and we got so much more! This house was quiet, clean and well stocked for a perfect stay. We were steps away from JTNP and the night skies were stunning. If you are looking for a quiet spot to relax after a day in the park, you found the right spot. The property manager was very communicative and responsive. To note, there is only one bathroom that is in the master bedroom. This is clearly laid out in the description, but worth considering if there are multiple families/friends traveling together. Perfect for one family.

    An Oasis in the Mojave
    We had a wonderful 2-night stay at Roadrunner's Roost. The house itself is fully updated, very comfortable, and has almost any amenity you could imagine (the only exception would be a washer or dryer for laundry, but that's perfectly fine if you know that going in). You almost literally could not be staying any closer to Joshua Tree National Park, and the town of Twentynine Palms is just a short drive away for restaurants, groceries, and the newly built National Park Visitor Center. The feeling of seclusion and privacy is exceptional and our only regret is that we wish we could have stayed longer! Patricia was very communicative (and was even able to stock our fridge with some farm fresh eggs prior to our arrival), and the arrival and departure processes themselves were also very easy.

    This house is almost inside the park. The night sky is beautiful and the house is adorable. It is isolated so that it is peaceful but just a 10 minute drive to town. The host was one of the best I have ever had on VRBO. She sent a lot of communication making everything very easy. I highly recommend this property.

    Perfection in the Desert
    We stayed 4 nights at Roadrunners Roost and the house was perfect in every way possible- a great location, with a beautiful layout and an excellent kitchen and bathroom. A great amount of attention was put into the entire space, including furnishings and finishes throughout. It’s also amazingly quiet, peaceful and private yet so close to everything in Joshua Tree NP as well as restaurants and grocery stores in 29 Palms. We hope to return in the future!!

    Beautiful Cabin. Tranquil Setting. Perfect Location.
    Beautiful, well-appointed cabin with a perfect, secluded location just minutes away from Joshua Tree's north entrance (which is the best part of the park). Staying at this home added so much to our Joshua Tree vacation. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    Wonderful house in the desert!
    This house has been totally remodeled inside and is a beautiful home! Very nice kitchen with everything you need. Beautiful big windows around the sides and back of house that give you a wonderful view of twinkling lights at night in 29 Palms. Also, don't forget to look up at the amazing stars. The house has 2 comfortable beds and a huge bathroom. The living room has a large comfortable couch. Outside there is a nice picnic table with grill and a fire pit in the yard. You can see forever from this house and it is 3 minutes from the North entrance to Joshua Tree. Great location and very comfortable house! Would absolutely stay again.

    The property is beautiful and freshly remodeled inside and has all the amenities you could need for a comfortable stay. The local coffee beans and farm fresh eggs were a nice touch! The grill and outdoor patio area were very nice and it’s a perfect spot for stargazing. A little less than 1 mile from Joshua Tree NP so very convenient location. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!

    This is the 2nd time that my wife and I have stayed at Roadrunner's Roost. Great location, quiet and scenic, close to Joshua Tree entrance. We came out to view the meteor showers, the sky was full of stars! The whole process was handled well, Patricia is very professional. The home is clean and set up well. We will be back again!
