About this property

Entire place

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

The Sunset Road House (Hot Tub! Hammocks! Fireplace!)

The Sunset Road House is a two bed, two bath newly renovated 1952 homesteader cabin just 15 minutes from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park in Joshua Tree, CA.

We have designed this home so that our guests can unplug and relax while enjoying all the modern amenities. Enjoy the spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the expansive deck and relax in the hot tub at night surrounded by open desert views, wildlife, and a starry, starry sky.

We recently did a total renovation (down to the studs!) on this mid-century gem so it has every modern amenity for you to enjoy. It sits on 5 gorgeous acres which you can explore during your visit. You must drive a couple of unpaved roads to access the house but no visitor has had a issue so far, Prius included! Local residents include rabbits, roadrunners, turtles, coyotes and all manner of desert creatures. Our favorite thing about the property is that it truly feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Check in and tune out :)

The large, open concept living space has a modern kitchen, dining space and living room area. There are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The master has a king bed (with en suite bathroom) and the second bedroom has two twin beds which can be converted into a king, at your request. The second bedroom also has a full bathroom. The home works well for a group of friends, two couples, or small families. If you need accommodation for more guests we also have a recently renovated vintage travel trailer available for rent near by. Feel free to inquire about our other properties! We welcome pets with a $50 pet fee per pet.

The Sunset Road House is about a 12 minute drive to downtown Joshua Tree (fun shops, restaurants & bars) and a 15 minute drive to the Joshua Tree National Park Visitors Center at the west entrance of the park. In addition to hiking, we are close to the renowned Integratron (a healing sound bath experience) or enjoy a tour of the Gubler Orchid Farm. If you are looking for a little action, head on over to Pioneertown (25 min drive) and visit the Old West movie set before dinner and drinks at the famous music venue, Pappy & Harriet's. You might even get lucky and see The Rolling Stones do a set!

At The Sunset Road House there is a fabulous swimming pool (seasonal) and both a bocce ball court and a horseshoe pit... or do absolutely nothing and lie on the chaise lounges, looking out at the expansive desert by day and/or soaking in the hot tub at night under a blanket of stars. Take in the desert air in the private outdoor shower whenever it strikes your fancy!

Joshua Tree Getaway

We really enjoyed the serenity of our stay as we lounged in chairs watching the sunset and soaked in the hot tub under the stars. The house was clean and comfortable and was a wonderful place to unwind after long days of hiking in JTNP and sight seeing the unique art exhibits within minutes of this lovely home. We were able to take a short day trip out to Ladder Canyon, the Salton Sea Rec Area, Bombay Beach, and Salvation Mountain. We'd love to return here again in the future and continue exploring all that this beautiful desert area has to offer!

Cozy stay

We traveled with our two teenagers in early March 2023. Kathryn was always available and responded right away when we had a little trouble unlocking the door when we arrived. It was cold and snowing during our stay but we stayed in and it was comfy and cozy - we had the fire going and played games. It's very quiet and the space was perfect for us for a few days. Thanks for being such great hosts!

Family fun and music at the sunset road house

The house has everything to relax and be inspired, all commodities in the middle of the desert, hot tub and above ground pool were amazing. We did what the owners reccomended to bring groceries, so we did not waste anytime. We were able to see the most beautiful sunsets, full harvest moon, and sunrises. It was an amazing experience, definitly we have to come back!

The property was a slice of heaven! As my husband and I were celebrating an anniversary we wanted to truly get away from the city and reconnect. We found exactly what we needed here on Sunset Road. Everything about this home makes you relax and feel at home, we loved watching the sunrise from our bedroom window, gazing at the stars at night. Everything on the property inside and out was perfect, we didn’t find ourselves missing anything, all was provided. Our pug loved the home as well, they provided us with blankets, bowls, toys, leash, baggies and a towel for our fur baby. Loved not only the place but the great communication the owners continuously had with us, they answered any questions we had and gave us great recommendations for yummy food, plus I completely I agree with them when they told us “bring some groceries with you because you won’t want to leave once you get there.” We love the desert, and Sunset Road completely elevated our experience! Definitely we will be returning next year for our 18th anniversary, but will be staying longer.

Can’t wait to go back

Living in CA in this economy we share our home with our 4 adult children and grandbaby and let me say this was a much needed get away. It was secluded, quiet and beautiful. Exactly what this overworked and overstimulated gen x couple needed. We drove through Joshua Tree national park during the day and enjoyed relaxing in the jacuzzi at night. 10/10 and can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful area to watch the stars at night and about 30 minutes or so to the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. All the amenities were there as advertised.

Perfect Desert Escape

Was looking for a place that was super remote but with all of the comforts of home. This place hit just right. Check in process was easy, everything we could need was available (robes were super cozy and perfect to put on after a soak in the spa). Visited the area for a long weekend escape for my husbands birthday and enjoyed every second. Woke up to an amazing sunrise on both mornings. Wish I could have stayed more than 2 days, but I will be back. Thank you!!

Fantastic stay

Nestled in a secluded corner of the Joshua Tree desert, this enchanting home embraced us with warmth and tranquility from the moment we arrived. The property boasts a stunning cactus garden that perfectly complements the serene desert landscape. During the day, we cooled off in the refreshing pool, and as the sun set, the hot tub provided a cozy retreat under the starry sky. The interior of the house is bright, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated with unique, stylish touches. Every detail has been considered, and the home is equipped with everything you could possibly need for a perfect getaway. Despite the remote location, a large grocery store is conveniently just 20 minutes away. Our stay here was nothing short of magical—both rejuvenating for the body and soothing for the soul. The stargazing experience was truly extraordinary, and we were able to capture breathtaking photos of the Milky Way. We can’t recommend this oasis enough and can’t wait to return.

So relaxing!

My husband and I wanted to find a nice quiet place to unwind for a night, kid free. I messaged the owner with a question and she promptly replied. By the end of the day, I knew I wanted to book here! The place was in the middle of no where which we loved, so much privacy! Easy to find and check in was so quick and easy. The place was clean, cooled and ready for us. We especially loved the Hot tub at sunset. We also were left a complimentary s’mores kit which was so thoughtful. Everything was as described and we really enjoyed our night there. We would definitely book again!
