The Way Out Ranch. Escape to Solitude on 2.5 acres
About this house rental
Nestled in Joshua Tree, this attractive house for $231 per night is a great choice for your next break. Welcome to the Way Out Ranch, namesake alluding to both escaping the craziness of your day to day and the fact that this space is strategically located in between the national park and the city, yet set up for connecting with nature and feeling like you are in a space of solitude. Beautifully Renovated Home w/ over 2,000 square feet of indoor space and over 2.5 acres of outdoor space. Perfect secluded location, yet only 3 miles to the Park Entrance and only 2 miles to the town of Joshua Tree. The space High on hillside - Panoramic views of National Park – Over 50 unique Joshua trees on-site and boulders, boulders, boulders nearby. Large 2.5 acre parcel, partially fenced, and clean, nicely maintained home with tons of indoor and outdoor hang out space. 4-bedrooms/3-bathrooms spread out over 2,000 square feet of living space, including a large living room, dining room, kitchen and den. Bedrooms are all decent sized with the master bedroom and en suite bath being very spacious with private access to its own outdoor space. Covered front and rear porches for additional indoor/outdoor living space with a newly constructed outdoor bar. Views of boulder mountains from back porch; views of the entire basin and dry-lakebed below from front porch; views of amazing sunrise over the mountains from side porch. Stargazing from Everywhere! Fireplace (not operable at this time) in living room and wood-stove in den for intimate, cozy heating. Fantastic setting with remote feel, yet very close to paved roads and town. Tucked up against deep wilderness. Everything you love and want in Joshua Tree! You pretty much have your own mini Joshua Tree National Park all to yourself! You ALMOST wouldn't need to go inside the park at all! (But it's sooo close). Guest access All of the property. Just FYI, some guests see the drone shots and worry about the unpaved road. A paved road ends to the North West one house away. Plus I have a Prius with no 4 wheel drive and those roads have never been an issue. *There are occasionally flash floods in Joshua Tree, so please be careful when crossing over any major flowing water on paved or unpaved roads! * Plenty of parking! If parking on the stone driveway it is best to go up SLOW. Other things to note Wi-fi signal is extremely Strong and I have not heard complaints about cell phone reception from any carriers, both of which are often issues at other homes in the area. Please let me know if you ever have have any issues!

I visited with my wife, children, neice, sisters and our 94 year old mother. We had a Great Time. Finn is a fantastic host. The home is great. The location and lot are amazing. There were eight of us including only one couple. Totally comfortable with one person on the pull out couch. Very convenient to Joshua Tree National Park. Highly Recommended!!

We had no idea what to expect. Great generous communal amenities. Well thought out. Cool vinyl on hand, guitar, books, games and tons of outside attractions on site. Saw shooting stars from fire pit. Very special. Good taste as a
Host.

I almost don’t want to give this place as an amazing review as it deserves because I selfishly want to make sure that it stays available to us. As soon as the word gets out about this property, it’ll be booked up non stop! We have stayed at quite a few different dog friendly short term rental properties in the JT area and this one definitely surpasses them all as far as the quality, amount of private space, and attention to detail. Our dogs loved exploring the fully fenced in property and we felt safe allowing them to do so. There aren’t any sharp, pointy plants in the fenced in area like many other places have and we didn’t see any other dog poop in the yard (PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOUR DOGS) which, unfortunately, is all too common at most dog friendly places. The main bedroom has a HUGE bathroom attached to it and the bed was ridiculously comfortable. It was just my husband, myself and our two dogs, so we didn’t utilize the other 3 bedrooms, but they also looked to have new beds and were very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals and the outside bar area also has a mini fridge which is convenient for when you’re going from the hot tub to the hammocks and back again. Speaking of the hot tub, it was well maintained, clean and heated up quickly. Another bonus about this cool property, it’s only a 5 minute or so drive to the JT Park entrance! We’re already planning our next trip back to the Way Out Ranch!

The place was well equipped with a lot of extra touches for comfort and there was the most beautiful hike with full flower blooms walking distance from the house for a sunset stroll at the friendly hills land trust. Very close to the park. Highly recommended

A hidden desert gem in a terrific gateway location to Joshua Tree National Park. A very spacious layout with comfy beds and a well appointed kitchen. Nicely decorated with interesting art that has a personal touch. The amazing selection of board and arcade games came in handy during periods of inclement weather. Our grandson and dogs loved exploring the expansive property. Finn did a terrific job of communicating and we look forward to visiting again very soon!

Spent nearly a week at Finn's place in mid December for a small family Christmas gathering. This place was perfect. Beautiful sunrises, fun amenities, and its location close to the park entrance make the Way Out a great choice for any group.
If you're looking for a great way to escape the city or are just visiting to see the high desert comfortably, the Way Out deserves your consideration!

We had the most amazing weekend at this fantastic home! Our group of four adults, three kids and one dog had plenty of space to spread out and the many thoughtful details to the home made it very comfortable. We really enjoyed the outdoor space and spent most of our time on the back porch. Our kids enjoyed the arcade games in their room and the board games in the closet. There were plenty of dishes and cooking gear for our big group. Stargazing in the hot tub was a big perk! My husband thinks that the bed in the master bedroom is the most comfortable we’ve ever slept on (including our bed at home!) Everyone in our group slept GREAT! There is a gorgeous hiking trail just a half a mile up the road (we walked, but you can park at the trailhead) and a cute park with a playground if you have kids. Our friends drove through the National Park on their way up from San Diego and commented on how close the entrance is to this house, but once we settled in, we really didn’t want to go anywhere else all weekend! We all appreciated all the small touches (light switches labeled, lots of towels, high quality pillows) that made our stay so easy and delightful. Finn was very communicative and went out of his way to make our trip comfortable. I love the keypad entry so I didn’t have to worry about keys, too. Our kids are already plotting a return trip! THANK YOU for sharing this blissful retreat with us!

My family had an exceptional stay at the Way Out Ranch. The home was immaculate upon arrival, spacious, well stocked, and exceeded our expectations. The home was quiet, private and had a large fenced in yard with its very own Joshua trees. The patio was an incredible perk for morning coffee and night caps at the bar. Mattresses, pillows and linens were new, clean, and comfortable. Every detail was thought out with care. The decor was fun and eclectic which added a level of charm to the home.
A great feature of The Way Out Ranch was was its proximity to the park with just a quick drive to the entrance. The home is also walking distance to one of the most beautiful hikes called the Friendly Hills trail. Catch it during the sunrise or sunset. Our daughter enjoyed the rabbits, quail, lizards, and coyote sightings.
Finn was great to communicate with. Check in and check out was extremely smooth. We have been to Joshua Tree several times but this BY FAR was our favorite home stay. We look forward to our next trip to JT and would love to stay here again. Thank you !!
