The Neighborhood:

When going to Joshua Tree one couldn’t imagine a better location in ambiance and convenience than Western Hills Estate, adjacent to the coveted Rock Reach areas of Yucca Valley as well as Pioneertown and the National Park. The area is private, but not remote with gorgeous views of mountains, Joshua trees, & desert flora & fauna. During the day, you can explore nature in your own backyard, and at night, the stargazing can’t be beat. Yet you can be in town within 2 minutes.



In addition to shopping and dining, you won’t want to miss these nearby highlights:

• Pioneertown (8-minute drive) - Put on your ten-gallon hat and stroll down Mane Street of this Wild West-inspired town, also known for Pappy & Harriet’s, a notable restaurant and venue.

• Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum (20-minute drive) - As far from a stuffy gallery as you can imagine, this outdoor sculpture garden contains a unique collection of folk-art.

• The Integratron (15-minute drive) - New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.

• Palm Springs (40-minute drive) - Artsy town known for vintage shopping, art galleries, and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.

• Mt. San Jacinto State Park (90-minute drive) - Expansive, hilly landscape with foot and horseback trails surrounding 10,834-foot Mount San Jacinto.



Of course, let’s not forget about the essentials. Everything you need is within about 10 minutes by car:

• Closest supermarket: Vons

• Closest liquor store: Star Market & Liquor

• Closest pharmacy: Rite Aid Pharmacy

• Closest bank: Chase Bank

Beautiful retro getaway

We had a great time at this beautiful residence. Perfect location for exploring the park and the town of Joshua Tree. They communicated that the oven was broken prior to our stay and it turned out the gas grill was not very functional either - they were accommodating with us but I would check with them on the status of those appliances if you're planning to cook. The living room and dining room are very comfortable for a group. Unfortunately the beds aren't very comfortable and none of us got a very good nights sleep.
