We took our 3 kids (13, 10, and 8) on a holiday trip and this part of our trip was the best. Host was amazingly responsive, kids loved the lazy river, and my wife and I enjoyed the hot tub under the stars. Not to mention the view was 10/10 and super close to downtown with shops and JT national park. Highly recommend!!

Such a beautiful and fun western home! Our stay was perfect. We used the hot tub and enjoyed watching movies in the living room. The heater was a little louder than expected but it sure did heat the place quickly! We hope to revisit in the spring or summer to utilize the pool.

Every thing was just right . Fun decor, hot tub worked well. Even did a polar plunge in the pool. Sun rise and sunset from the roof top patio was awesome. Kitchen had all we needed plus some. The park also exceeded expectation.

What a Place!

Unbelievably cool - rooftop stargazing- firepits- ample seating everywhere in and out. The decor is cowboy modern in an artistic way. Plenty of kitchenware - and vinyl! Listened to ZZ Top while cooking - as a Texan, this was a big bonus. Rooms were comfortable and plenty of blankets. The hosts were very attentive. Would absolutely stay here again! Joshua Tree Park close and stunning :):) Can’t wait to come back!!

Unique and comfortable home in Joshua Tree

Our family of 2 adults and 2 kids had a wonderful stay at the Black Cactus during our spring break trip to Joshua Tree. The house is off of a dirt road just 5 minutes from town. The home is immaculately furnished and filled with fun and quirky artwork throughout the property. Everything we needed for a few days away was provided at the house - soap, detergent, shampoo/conditioner, plush towels, fully stocked kitchen, basic condiments, and Nespresso machine with pods. The evenings were peaceful and we enjoyed stargazing from the roof deck and well-maintained hot tub. We really appreciated all the special touches in this home and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun and unique stay in the Mojave Desert.

Our stay at Black Cactus was the best VRBO experience. The location was wonderful, peaceful, quiet and serene and just a short 10 minute drive to the local market and Joshua Tree visitor center. We choose to have both breakfast and dinners at the house since there can’t be a more beautiful place then this home to eat in town. To sit up on the deck and enjoy breakfast and a cup of coffee or have dinner around the fire pit, what could be better. There is also a barbecue which we never used but had we stayed for the week I’m sure we would have done some cooking on it. We loved taking a hot tub after a long day of hiking. The hot tub was super clean just like the rest of the house. We also really appreciated that they used Meyer’s sustainable cleaning products, they even provided Meyer’s laundry soap. They even had it down to sustainable toilet paper. The beds are super comfortable and the view from all three bedrooms is unbelievable. To watch the sunrise from the Master bedroom is the most incredible way to wake up. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was even a brand new Nespresso machine and there was plenty of spices and some condiments, all fresh. All the sheets, towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner etc were of high quality. Jin and Jerry are the best hosts you can imagine. They were always available if we had any questions and very kind and thoughtful. We are looking forward come back to Joshua tree in the near future for another rejuvenating stay at Black Cactus. 🌍

This desert retreat is a true gem! The furnishings and decor are just beautiful, with a playful western theme throughout the home. The spacious rooftop deck with cozy seating and a fire pit was fantastic for star gazing! It was a little too cool in January for the pool, but we loved the hot tub and the nearby hiking trails. Great communication with the host, who was friendly and easy to reach. Our group has vacationed in many lovely desert properties throughout the years, but this is hands down our favorite! Do not miss out on this desert delight!
