Close to ecotours, rock climbing, and more, this family-friendly cottage brings it all within reach. Jump into your car and make short work of the 17-minute drive to Joshua Tree National Park or the 11-minute drive to Joshua Tree National Park Visitor Center (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, unwind in the rooftop private hot tub or sip a drink in the outdoor entertainment area, and don't forget about the outdoor furniture. For a change of scenery, come inside and enjoy the free WiFi and foosball.

As you settle into this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom rental, you'll find a dining area, a gas grill, and air conditioning. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, free toiletries, and towels. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's a washer/dryer, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
