About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Joshua Tree Forest Bungalow - Views & Hot Tub

The house is 870 square feet, and has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Both bedrooms feature California King beds, and are the same size, so no friendships will implode arguing over who gets the bigger room (the "John Wayne" bedroom is actually a few inches longer, but we won't tell your friends).

The back yard is completely fenced with a fire pit, bbq, lounge chairs, and a picnic table, perfect for evening meals or morning coffee.
There is also a large, amazing Jacuzzi hot tub to relax in after a long day of hiking (please shower first!). If you have never relaxed in a hot tub underneath the starry Joshua Tree sky, then it's time to start asking yourselves some tough life questions and book this house immediately.

We spent many months renovating the house into a space that we truly love, and we are excited to share it with you!

* While this property is new on Homeaway/VRBO, we have over 150 5 star reviews on other vacation rental sites.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Magical home and perfect stay

This property and home is absolutely beautiful, comfortable and the perfect place to stay in the area. Was there with my mother, the two bedrooms are very comfortable and the kitchen, living room and hot tub were perfect for us to cook and hang out. Others said this- but this place is even better than the pictures. Can not wait to return.

wonderfully quiet

This is a charming little stay in the middle of Joshua tree that is absolutely darling. Driving down the dirt road to the house I had my doubts, but as soon as we opened the door we were surprised to find a remodeled, clean, well appointed home. The hot tub in the back was a plus. the bed was comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. All in all we really enjoyed our short stay.

A cozy oasis in the desert!

What an absolutely lovely little bungalow! The attention and thoughtfulness that go into creating a home away from home, is clearly a labor of love. My husband and I stayed for our wedding anniversary. I've spent many vacations in the area but he has never been able to join me due to his busy job. We loved the seclusion of the house, yet the nearness of pretty much everything. It really is perfectly located. The beds were great--It was SO nice to sleep in! We saw a great show at Pappy & Harriet's, ate at La Copine & The Copper Room, made breakfast one day and hiked in Joshua Tree, lounged in the hot tub at night and just had a wonderfully relaxing visit in all. The carport was a major plus! It kept our car cool inside and out of the sun. All in all? I cannot think of one thing I can complain about. Bravo Josh & Don! You guys nailed it! Thank you! Xo

Perfect Joshua Tree retreat

Our stay at Joshua Tree Forest Bungalow was wonderful. We stayed for four nights and visited Joshua Tree NP three days. The accommodations were perfect and our hosts were more than helpful with suggestions. Would stay again! The hot tub was a delight after a day of hiking!

Excellent place for relaxing and exploring Joshua Tree

We very much enjoyed the 2-bedroom house just outside of the town of Yucca Valley. The house has lots of windows - good for enjoying the excellent view of Joshua trees outside the front window. Both bedrooms are a good size - we just used the one. Very comfortable king size bed. The kitchen is excellent - with a good fridge and stove and equipped with everything you could want. The house was very clean and nicely decorated - a relaxing space. We made use of the good heating system since there were some cold days. The location was perfect for us as we hiked in Joshua Tree National Park every day - close to the northern entrance of the park. Also close to grocery stores and restaurants. We hope to stay here again!

Great place to stay

We had a very nice time at this property. It was all it was described. The hot tub was great and the stars were beautiful. The owners told us what we should bring (sandals, bathrobe, etc.). There is a gas barbecue. It's a short (1 block) bumpy dirt road (it appears to be somewhat of a wash), but as it wasn't really raining, it wasn't a problem. Town is within 2 miles so plenty of restaurants and grocery stores.

Cute place, great location

My husband and I really enjoyed our long weekend in the desert (despite the unexpected snow!). I appreciated the thorough check-in instructions that were sent well in advance as well as the easy cleaning/check-out process. The location was close to Joshua Tree and a number of restaurants/shops, but felt relatively secluded. Overall, an enjoyable vacation. Thank you!

We were very happy with our stay at Josh and Don's comfy bungalow. Great kitchen and appliances, comfy beds and pillows and a nice hot shower. Joshua Trees and cactuses right in the front yard, and 15 minutes to the West entrance of the park.

A First Class Joshua Tree Experience

This lovely home didn’t disappoint. The location was close to the west entrance to the park; allowing for multiple entries to the park. Close to grocery store and restaurants. This home is well appointed and is better than advertised. I would definitely stay here again and will recommend to friends that might be interested in a Joshua Tree Experience. The owners Checkin/checkout process is seamless with reasonable expectations for departure. The stargazing from the hot tub was fantastic. If I could give 10 stars I would give eleven. Thank you for making our first Joshua Tree experience exceed our expectations.

What a gem!!

So happy we found this gem of a property in Joshua Tree. Super close to the park entrance about 7 miles from Pappy and Harriet’s and Pioneertown (which was why we were in town). Great location, quiet neighborhood, the house was spotless upon arrival, it’s clear that the owners, Josh and Don put a lot of care and thought into this house. The decor was simple but stylish, beds, linens and towels were comfy and clean. Kitchen was well stocked and the backyard was amazing. We spent most of our time at the house in the jacuzzi (super clean) and in the backyard. We will absolutely come and stay at this bungalow again or check out their other property. Anytime I needed to get a hold of Josh or Don, it was a few minutes at most to get a response. And to top off this wonderful experience, stupid me, left a bag at the house after we checked out. I asked (but did not expect) to have them ship my bag back to me. Not only did I get a reply in less than 5 mins, but Josh went to the property, picked up the bag and shipped it within a few hours. I won’t forget this kindness and I would say to absolutely rent this spot but only if you leave it as clean as you found it, because I don’t want people to party and trash the place, it’s that amazing!!

Wonderful Stay

The place was wonderful and exactly as advertised. My wife had a terrific stay. Everything in the home worked perfectly, including the microwave, which was stealthily tucked away in a cabinet above the fridge. The home is about a 20 minute drive from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, so it's in a convenient location, yet it's far enough away from the main roads that it's so quiet you can hear the wind rustling through leaves in the nearby palm trees. Also, the backyard was perfect for watching the sunset and stargazing at night. Highly recommend.
