Summary:

The Colorful Cactus is a cozy, colorful 4 bedroom, 2 bath home that sleeps 8, made to be your family's home base for exploring Joshua Tree National Park. Spend your days hiking and climbing in the park, then come back to a full kitchen, a big comfy couch and a backyard with a hot tub, propane BBQ and fire pit. There's room for everyone and a relaxed, comfortable feel that makes it easy to settle in.



The Space:

Bright colors and a warm, easygoing feel set the tone the moment you walk in. This is a house that's meant to be lived in, with plenty of space for the whole family to spread out after a day in the park. The open kitchen connects to the dining and living areas, so everyone stays together whether you're making breakfast before an early hike or cooking dinner after a long day of exploring.



When you're back from the park, head through the sliding doors to the cozy backyard. Throw something on the propane BBQ, gather around the fire pit and end the night in the hot tub looking up at Joshua Tree's famously dark, starry skies. The fenced front yard gives little ones a safe spot to play while you unload the car.

Getting Around:

To explore the beautiful surroundings of Joshua Tree, we highly recommend traveling by car as it provides the most flexibility and convenience. While rideshare services like Uber can be unreliable in this area, local taxi services such as Lucky 777 are available for your transportation needs. Please note that parking is limited to two vehicles on the property, and all cars must be parked in designated areas rather than along the road.



Other Things to Note:

3:00PM Check-In: We'd love for you to check in before 8pm so you have plenty of daylight to settle in and get comfortable before dark.



HVAC: Central heating and air conditioning are provided throughout the home to keep guests comfortable in every season.



No Pets: This property does not allow any pets. Any evidence of an undisclosed pet will result in a $750 deep cleaning fee. Please note that documented service dogs are exempt from this policy.



Guest Policy: We only allow the number of guests listed as the maximum occupancy for this property, so any additional day guests must be requested and approved in advance. No extra overnight guests are permitted beyond those included in your reservation.



Watch your Step: This desert land holds onto bits of its past, so you may spot the occasional rusty object or piece of glass in the yard, please wear shoes anytime you're outside. You'll also be sharing the landscape with local snakes and scorpions. They want nothing to do with you, so if you see one, just back away calmly and quietly



Wood Burning Fires: We do not permit wood-burning fires anywhere on the property at any time, including in fire pits or fireplaces, due to the high risk of wildfire in our area. This policy is strictly enforced for the safety of our guests, neighbors, and the surrounding landscape,.



Desert Critters: Please keep doors closed while entering and exiting, curious critters will let themselves in given the chance. Desert wildlife is part of what makes this area special, expect sightings of jackrabbits, tortoises, roadrunners, quail, and lizards. You may also spot coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, or occasionally a bobcat or mountain lion. Most just want their space, so it's best to give them yours.



Camera/ Decible Monitor: This property has forward-facing exterior security cameras, but there are no cameras anywhere inside the home. We also use noise decibel monitors indoors to help avoid disturbing neighbors. These only measure sound levels and never record audio.



Interaction with Guests:

We like to respect our guest’s privacy, so you won’t see too much of us - unless you need us to come by. We will be available to answer any questions you may have and to help make your stay more enjoyable.
