Joshua Tree Getaway. Private Boulder Wonderland. Rustic elegance. Sleeps ten.
About this house rental
Located in Yucca Valley, this lovely house for $576 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. "Stop looking for other listings, this is the one... from hot tub stargazing to the amazing hikes right in the backyard, we honestly didn't leave for three days." - Steven, San Francisco An artistic and comfortable three bedroom house plus two sleeping cabins, we were a star feature on the recent Parade of Homes tour. We are located at the end of a dirt road and nestled in six acres of surreal boulder landscape. We are equally close to the Park entrance and Pioneertown. Off the back porch is 200 acres of park-like desert to explore. Loaded with features and nice touches, and . . . the most sublime hot tub experience in the high desert! ** NOTE: The listed base rate is for the main house - up to FOUR GUESTS. Rates including the sleeping cabins are structured according to guest count. Please read rates carefully when requesting a booking. We keep the maximum at ten guests. There are stunning boulder views from every window. Outside, enjoy the back porch, the 'lookout lounge' which overlooks the town of Joshua Tree and the national park, a hot tub, a cowboy tub, a yoga deck, a horseshoe pit, barbecue, great hangout spots, and more boulder piles than you can explore in a weekend. Just off the back porch is over 200 acres of pristine desert for you to explore. Nothing but boulders, joshua trees, wildlife . . . And silence! A scenic walking bridge takes you to a new six person saltwater hot tub surrounded by boulders - a stargazer's dream! We are uniquely situated between the national park entrance in Joshua Tree and Pappy & Harriet's in Pioneertown - the best daytime and nighttime activities the high desert has to offer. Or. . . You may decide you don't want to leave Sweet Rock at all! [more information and reviews at sweet rock ranch dot com]

we’ve been doing an annual friends weekend for almost a decade. this was our best one yet! the pictures don’t do justice to the amazing beauty of the surrounding property. the house and its amenities are exceptionally well designed, with cozy spots for coming together as well as many different areas to explore for smaller groups. the outdoor bed was a particular highlight,
but so were the record collection and the hot tub. everything is very well labeled, explained, and maintained. thanks for helping make our annual weekend extra special this time around—

We all loved our stay at Sweet Rock Ranch. Perfect relaxing getaway. Host paid amazing attention to details with everything labeled and great instructions for enjoying all aspects of the property. Great place to connect with nature and enjoy the beauty of Yucca Valley.

Sweet Rock Ranch is incredible! From the decor to the location to the amenities you could not ask for a better vacation home near Joshua Tree. We especially enjoyed watching the birds at the feeder while we drank our morning coffee on the porch. Can’t wait to come back!!

From the daily pointers to well stocked kitchen, we felt well taken care of for our stay. The sunrises, light and warmth in the AM while sitting out watching the wildlife drinking (provided) local coffee was perfection. One of the best

One of my favorite places I’ve ever stayed in! The home and surrounding boulder wonderland literally had everything and anything our group ever looked for or desired and from start to finish all communication and movement was easy and pleasant. Will definitely be coming back

Beautiful location with lovely sunrises and views of the valley below. Also the array of morning birds (we saw a roadrunner), bunnies, bouldering, and record collection add to the charm. We stayed in spring and the location high on valley side made the winds, at times, quite strong. Lots of nice amenities, but lack of a washer/dryer was a minor annoyance for week-long stay, when daily hiking is to be expected, especially given the daily price for accommodations. Finally, the website explanation for extra guest daily charges was confusing, and host did not respond to initial VRBO question that would have clarified things. Host was very responsive once we were at the property.
All in all a nice experience.

Wonderful home with boulder piles and Joshua Trees right up to the back door. The home was large and clean and neat and we liked that it had all the drawers and cabinets were well marked with their contents. Great and clear instructions for everything from the air conditioning to the hot tub. The owner was very responsive to questions and inquiries. Super cool place.

Our hosts took the time to connect well ahead of the stay to make sure we were accommodated and had all the details to access the property and checked in during our stay. They did an outstanding job.
The property itself is incredible. It was exactly what we hoped for and more, with incredible natural surroundings, wildlife - birds and coyotes, hiking and bouldering, and many other fantastic amenities. The house was great too. We got to enjoy dinner around the dining room table and games in the living room by the fire. We made use of the BBQ, fire pit, hot tub, horse shoes and enjoyed the star lit skies in the evenings.
I highly recommend and would love to come back in the future!

This place was exactly as advertised. There was plenty of space for our group (6 adults and 3 kids), and the sunrise and sunset views were amazing!

We had a wonderful trip to Joshua Tree and stayed at Sweet Rock Ranch. We had a group of 8 of us and the property was great with accomodating a large group. It was very nice to just relax at the property when we weren't out hiking. John was proactive and available when needed with any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend!

Our three generation family greatly loved spending time at Sweet Rock Ranch. There was plenty of space to spread out (two out-buildings - the kids slept in one and used the other as their "Play House"). Peaceful outdoor environment, with an active bird feeder, hot tub nestled in the rocks, COLD cowboy tub, and an outdoor hanging bed.
It was easy to make ourselves at home here - and use the kitchen for communally prepared meals. Some may consider cold weather a problem, but the kids loved that it was snowing -- and we all enjoyed hot-tubbing as the snow fell.
It's close enough to the West entrance of JTNP - and we headed there for hiking three times during our 6 night stay.
The owner provided great information about the area - and communicated quickly and was extremely helpful when the hot tub had lost power after extreme winds one night. We'll be recommending this spot to our friends.

This property is as dreamy as it looks! We had been to Joshua Tree NP before, but my son's cousins (age 10, 7 and 2.5) had not. We had a great day in the park, but we all agreed that we had an even better time exploring trails and bouldering in the property that extends out from this rental, which we spent several days doing. It was absolutely magical and imaginations were on fire! We plan to be back, and next time I don't think we will even venture into JT. As for the property itself, everything is very thought out and intentional. We really admired John's nail art, the cork baseboards in the kitchen, the mural on the garage, etc. We passed the guitar around one night, listened to lots of records (record player is a great touch), sat in the hot tub, enjoyed the day bed, watched all the wildlife, including the many many birds...it was a place where many memories were made and we will be talking about our stay there for years to come. Can't wait to come back! Thank you John and Deva for an incredible stay!

The property and location are fantastic! Lots of great outdoor areas to hang out- hot tub, fire pit, great back porch, yoga deck, etc. you can go for a hike right out the back door! Well stocked kitchen and super comfy house. Love all of the art work in and around the house. It’s very close to the park’s west entrance, grocery store, and JT.
John and Deva were extremely helpful and responsive. I plan to stay there again soon.

The whole family loved our stay! We were close to the National Park for morning and evening hikes and star gazing. The house was comfortable with plenty to keep us busy during the heat of the day in August. We were close to a market and had a well-stocked kitchen so cooking was a breeze. And it’s a minor detail, but this was possibly the first time our rental house had enough towel hooks for a family of 4. We would highly recommend a stay here!

High desert oasis
My family's experience at Sweet Rock couldn't have been more enjoyable. The house and grounds were as advertised, clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. It was wonderful place to relax, far away from neighbors; a perfect retreat literally right out the back door.

Everything about this home reflected careful appreciation of the nature of Joshua tree and I love for nature and animals. It was very tasteful artwork and decor throughout and the layout of the home was perfect two have us appreciate a Joshua Tree‘s, granite boulders, and the many birds and animals throughout. The owner great thoughtfully labeled all the kitchen utensils. We really love Joshua tree and this was the perfect setting. We hope to return many times in the future

Look no further...this is the place to stay! The owners have thought of everything (and have labeled everything too). We never had to leave the house (except for some grocery shopping), as everything you need is right there, including an amazing setting with plenty of hikes for us and adventures for the kids.
The hot tub under the stars, the artwork throughout the home, all the places to gather, as well as all the little hideaway nooks, the record collection with a little something for everyone -- I only wish I had found the additional stash of albums (they're in the game cabinet) sooner.
Was such a gorgeous location and such a relaxing feel, I hated to leave, and hope to return. And those who stayed with us all agreed. We could not have wished for a more perfect getaway in the loveliest of homes.
Thank you!!!

We had a fantastic stay. You don't need to visit Joshua Tree NP. Just sit on porch and enjoy the same thing without the crowds. We will be coming back!

My husband and I truly enjoyed our stay. The indoor space flowed well and felt so inviting. We loved the proximity to Joshua Tree, as well as having what felt like a “Mini”Joshua Tree National Park right off the deck of the home. The new outdoor bed was amazingly relaxing. Many thanks to John and Deva for a wonderful experience.
