The Joshua Tree Ranch House is a rustic VRBO rental by design with sufficient creature comforts including a kitchen. My room (#3) has plenty of space, and I believe the other units are at least as spacious plus more. It's an easy walk into town. The Joshua Tree Saloon is less than a half mile away, as is most of the town. The host is gracious and communicative. I would stay here again any time.

Perfectly located for Joshua Tree National Park visitors or for those who merely wish to enjoy the funky town of Joshua Tree. This motel is truly a step back in time in harmony with the Joshua Tree vibe. Walking distance to anywhere in town, the Ranch House is still a couple blocks off of the noisy main highway.

This is a cute spot, very close to really great sites, walking distance even. Has more kitchen amenities than your average rental. Quaint. Would stay here again.

Great value for the price! Cute little “retro” cabin, as in pink toilet and sink, turquoise mini frig. Nice spot off the main road with ample parking and a great gas fire pit. But don’t look for a TV, blow dryer or iron if you’re used to that.
