Vibe Out on the deck at The Pinto Corral
We enjoyed our time in Randi's cute and homey cottage. The decor was very cozy and modern boho with attention to detail for the little items included in her decor. Made the home very cozy and enjoyable. Randi was very friendly and checked in on us making sure we had everything we needed and that things were going well and also letting us know she was available for any questions. We enjoyed ourselves very much.
Contemporary desert retreat in Joshua Tree
This place was truly wonderful! Exactly as described in listing, beautiful and peaceful. It's far enough off the 29 that it truly feels like another planet, sunset/sunrise were stunning. Hosts were very kind and communicative. I was evacuating the fires in LA and they were flexible and upfront about the power shut offs in the valley. Good people!

Hilltop Casita-Amazing Views-Western Hills Estates
Great place, with great views. Close to great restaurants (The Copper Room) and fun stuff to do.

España Daga |Modern Desert Retreat, Stunning Views
We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful Airbnb. The corner lot offered lovely views, and while the lot seemed larger in photos, it was perfect for our family. The neighbors were close by, so you could hear a conversation, but it wasn’t as isolated as the photos might suggest. The bunk beds are great for kids (not too young) but not ideal for adults. We loved the hammocks, hot tub, and fire pit. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the space was clean and relaxing. The internet was spotty, and a couple of things needed attention, but overall, a great experience. Highly recommend! It’s about 45 minutes to Skull Rock and 42 minutes to Keys View.

The Joshua Tree Escape - Close to JTNP & Downtown
I have stayed in Air B&Bs many times . It’s my preferred vacation home .Love the Joshua Tree retreat! Other rentals could step up their service by following Kayla and Tyler . Location was perfect Well appointment rental Comfortable Well supplied kitchen Dessert view front and back Hummingbirds visited in the drive Communication was friendly and fast Was sad to leave , the place felt like home

The Jungle Dome: Hilltop Hot Tub, 360 Views
Absolutely a stunning place to stay as a base to explore the palm desert area. We are a group of 6 adults and felt the space is very roomy. The furnishings are beautiful yet functional, the outdoor area is super nice to do yoga in the morning or enjoying hot tub in the evening. The hosts are very responsive to all our inquiries and needs. Would love to stay again in the future if we come back to the region.

Sunny 2bed w/ private yard next to Joshua Tree NP
Hannah is a lovely host. She is very responsive, kind and offered great recommendations. Her place was cozy and peaceful and looked just like the photos. It is very close to the west entrance of the Joshua Tree National Park, yet located on a quiet and peaceful street. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you will need for your stay. We appreciated the private and sunny backyard as well as the local coffee beans + grinder for freshly ground coffee.

Cozy Cactus | Cowboy Pool | 3 min drive to Park
Def recommend staying here if visiting Joshua Tree National Park 👍 We had a group of 8 and was comfortable place for us.
Boutique hotels in Joshua Tree

Quail Room
She was there to greet us, had turned on the heat for us, very nice. Place was clean. Pretty close to the highway, so not totally quiet.

#6 Mountain view room
I had a great stay at Harmony Motel. Ash was very responsive and everything matched the pictures. A great location off the main road with a beautiful view of the mountains. I would gladly stay there again. Thanks, Ash.

#0 Inkeepers Room
Loved this room! It is close to Joshua Tree, clean and spacious, has a great shower, and comfortable beds. Ash was welcoming and gave a lot of information about the area at check in. Would absolutely stay again.

Mojave Sands - Standard
We came up for a couple nights and stayed an extra night! The place is very well thought out, easy to access and close to all areas one would like to explore. The owner is super cool, and she’s very hospitable. We loved our stay here, we didn’t want to leave. We stayed in a single room, that didn’t have a kitchen - however we brought a cooler, used the fridge and used the grill everyday to make meals. The coffee service was great :) The outdoor space is nice to enjoy, there are water details around the space that are very peaceful - even a koi pond! We hopefully will be back

Jack Kerouac Cabin @ the Harmony
Very clean, comfortable, and close to Joshua Tree National Park. Only bummer was that the hot tub was broken and we were really looking forward to using it, but otherwise was great for what we needed!

#5 Dark night skies
Very quaint place! Perfect for our quick trip to Joshua Tree. Ash was very proactive in her communication, which we appreciated.

The Bungalows by Homestead Modern, Premium Double
I enjoyed my stay at Homestead. The best thing about this place is that it is just 15 mins drive from the national park.
Pet-friendly places to stay in Joshua Tree

Most convenient in JT-Walkable-Top 10%-Dependable
Very clean; quiet neighborhood but in walking distance to restaurants and shops; convenient to Joshua Tree NP; had more kitchen amenities than I expected; very nice yard and outside sitting/BBQ area. I would definitely come back.

Pets | Hammocks | Near JT and Pappy&Harriets
Kevin was really responsive and friendly from the get-go! Being our first time staying around the area, he was able to give us many recommendations to make our stay enjoyable and memorable! Thanks again for being an amazing host!

Stargazing - Fire pit - BBQ - Central - Cozy
Great place to stay if visiting Joshua Tree or even for trips to Palm Springs. Lots of fastfood and a Walmart and Aldis near by.

“The Dreamcatcher” with Game Room and Jacuzzi
Has an amazing stay to celebrate my mom’s birthday with the family. We were even allowed to bring our german shepherd dog and he had a lot of fun in the wide spacious backyard🐶 Host was very responsive when we had any questions, place was clean, and there was so much to do at the home (jacuzzi, pool table, foosball table, board games). Definitely would stay again! 5 stars! ⭐️

Desert & Views | Hot Tub | Pet-Friendly | EV chrgr
We just came home from a week at Jaspreet's place - 4 adults and 2 teens. The house had plenty of room to spread out, with a great living space and dining area that easily fit our group without feeling at all crowded. We enjoyed using the outdoor space as well - a nice seating area, hot tub, propane firepit and propane bbq. Something that was really nice that we haven't always experienced at rentals - the kitchen was big and had empty cupboards where we could put away our groceries. Often we have to leave all our food on the table or counter at a place because there's no extra cupboard space. Same in the bathrooms and bedrooms - it was nice to be able to stay tidy by putting our things away somewhere. We really enjoyed the feeling of being out in the desert (rather than smack in the middle of a neighborhood) - the sunrises and sunsets were stunning. We would definitely stay again!!

Casa Carlyle - Hot Tub, Outdoor Shower & Views
We had a great time at Ghazal's place! The outdoor spaces are so lush for a desert house. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. The house was clean and just like the photos. We really enjoyed our stay.

Hidden River Ranch
I am new to using AirBnBs. This was only my second stay in one. And we all couldn’t have been happier with this peaceful location with stellar views. The hot tub was terrific. And the home is very spacious and unique. Thanks so much Katie!

Casita29 - The Pink Desert Haven
Enjoy our stay at Casita 29! We wish we had more time to use the cowboy pool and the fire pit. Bryan was a great host and checked in with us to see how our first night was, sent a reminder with how to check in, check out, and things to do at 29 Palms. We came to 29 Palms for a basketball tournament and the house was perfect for our family of 4.

Your guide to Joshua Tree
Welcome to Joshua Tree
The community of Joshua Tree rises out of the Mojave Desert in stark contrast to Palm Springs, the nearby city known for mid-century estates and plentiful swimming pools. Joshua Tree residents have instead embraced a rugged, cheerfully weird vision of the West. Iconoclasts, artists, musicians, and outdoorsy types have all carved out a place for themselves in this arid landscape, where an abbreviated downtown is home to shops selling vintage wares, handicrafts, crystals, and herbs. Many use the town as a base for exploring nearby Joshua Tree National Park, whose nearly 800,000 acres lure hikers, rock-climbers, and stargazers with an magical landscape marked by vast plains, mountains, rock formations, cacti, and the unusual trees for which this place is named.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Joshua Tree
Spring and fall are the most popular times to visit Joshua Tree, when temperatures are mild and hospitable to hiking and other outdoor activities. (Be sure to pack layers for these seasons, as temperatures can drop dramatically when the sun goes down.) In March and April, dazzlingly colored wildflowers bloom in the national park. During the summer, temperatures can soar into the hundreds Fahrenheit; in the winter the days are cool and the nights are freezing, with snow at higher elevations. In May and October the town hosts the Joshua Tree Music Festival, which features up-and-coming artists, many of whom have gone on to major careers.
Top things to do in Joshua Tree
Joshua Tree National Park
This park is named for the goofy-looking Joshua tree, which can grow to 40 feet high and sprouts a multitude of wiggly branches topped with unruly crowns of spiky leaves. This sprawling scenic wonderland has lots of activities to offer, including scenic hikes, rock climbing, birdwatching, and horseback riding. Thanks to a dearth of artificial light, it’s also an ideal place for stargazing, and depending on the time of year, you can see the Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, and, in August, the Perseid meteor shower.
Integratron
Have you even visited the desert if you haven’t tapped into an otherworldly energy vortex? The creator of the Integratron, a circa-1954 wooden dome that looks like a grounded spaceship, claimed the design was based in part on telepathic communications from space aliens and centered his portal on a powerful geomagnetic vortex. Regardless of whether you believe in the original intention behind the Integratron, you can’t deny the dome is wildly conducive to beautiful, clear acoustics. Those perfect acoustics draw hundreds of visitors weekly for restorative sound baths performed live on 20 quartz crystal singing bowls.
World Famous Crochet Museum
Located in Joshua Tree’s teensy downtown, the World Famous Crochet Museum is installed inside a slime-green former photo-processing booth. Its walls are jammed floor to ceiling with crochet critters and objects that the museum’s creator has collected over the years, including yarn cakes, poodles, and alligators. Drink in the absurdity, then snag a souvenir from her adjacent studio, where she sells artworks and T-shirts screenprinted with her original designs.
