Desert Oasis w/ Huge Yard, Fire Pit & Joshua Trees
Amazing host! We had an amazing time, no troubles or any type of struggle whatsoever. Definitely would come again for sure.

Casa Blanca~Desert Gem w Plunge Pool & EV Charger
Erin’s place was beautiful and peaceful. It was one of the best air bnb’s I’ve stayed in. The house itself was immaculately cleaned and a great location- walkable to everything in town. Swimming in the plunge pool and watching sunset from the deck was so enjoyable. Erin as a host was amazing- very responsive, welcoming and helpful. I definitely recommend staying here if you are staying in Joshua Tree.

Sundial by Fieldtrip | Lux Modern w Spa & Views
Great property, futuristic design and solid construction , had a blast staying here! 🖤🙏🏽

España Daga |Modern Desert Retreat, Stunning Views
This home was the perfect fit for our girls trip! We had ample bedrooms for our group, lots of space to spread out in the kitchen and living room, and really loved the well curated outdoor spaces. Our hosts were easy to get ahold of and quick to answer any questions. Definitely recommend this house for your Joshua Tree visit!

Hot Tub + 10 Acres Private 2bd 2bth by Joshua Tree
This home was very beautiful inside and out. It was just what we wanted for our little desert getaway. The home was really cozy. I just wish we had another day so we could do a whole day just relaxing there.

Newfoundland | Hot Tub | Fire Pit | Desert Views
Terra Nova is the most thoughtful Airbnb experience we’ve had. Every room had its own touch of tranquility and utility. The kitchen is fully stocked with all supplies you need to enjoy meals indoors or under the western sky. The bedrooms invite you to relax and find restoration on the luxurious beds with stunning views. We spent the week soaking in the stunning surroundings, from the sunrises, the gorgeous landscaping to the star-studded sky. We were given the gift of awe and wonder. This home was curated with immense intentionality and anyone looking to disconnect, restore and soak in the wonders of the desert— this is the place to be. Brian and Lindsay are wonderfully supportive and thoughtful. We hope the stars align for us to take in the desert air at Terra Nova again.

*Stardust on the Mesa* A Breathtaking Experience!
Had a great time! Large and private and Elizabeth and Chuck were very accommodating for us.

Great kid-friendly Airbnb just on the outside of town. Perfect distance between downtown Twentynine Palms and Joshua Tree entrances to the park.

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.

Johua Tree Ranch House Motel - Downtown - Room #7
Needed a place to stay that was affordable yet well managed, and this did just that! Tons of parking and located in a beautiful area. It is also right off the highway, making it easy to get here. Our host was responsive and helped whenever needed.

Place looks very arts, stunning view from the hill over desert, especially during sunset and sunrise. A huge pool and a perfect spot for sunbathing. A massive collection of cool vinyl records.

Modern Oasis | Container Pool & Spa close to JTNP
This place was perfect. Designed very well, super clean, roomy, and comfortable. The container pool was a hit. Definitely would stay here again. And the location was awesome.

Desert & Views | Hot Tub | Pet-Friendly | EV chrgr
Pictures don’t do justice to how spacious this place is. Plenty of space for our family of 6 to spread out, games to enjoy, and beautiful sunset from the patio. Neat vegetation right outside the door as well. Unlike many rentals, it is well stocked for cooking with spices, utensils, and grilling.

"50 Shades" RecRoom * Walk into Joshua Tree NP
The host was very friendly and responsive. The house was clean and well maintained as advertised. Will definitely recommend

Casa Carlyle - Hot Tub, Outdoor Shower & Views
We stayed here during the first weekend of Coachella and it was well worth the drive! Wished we could’ve stayed longer to enjoy all that it has to offer, especially in the area. Ghazal’s home is exactly like the photos, and we enjoyed the jacuzzi after a long day. It’s perfect and quiet, literally a home away from home. Definitely will be back when we visit again!

Fenced, Hot tub & Pool "Desert Dog Hideaway"
Great place to stay. Everything was exactly as described / shown in the photos. David was very responsive to any questions I had. It was very quiet and peaceful. The fence around the property added privacy,which was nice. Loved the spa!

Hidden River Ranch
We had a great stay here. The house is very large! We brought our whole family and had a blast. We grilled on the bbq and sat around the fire pit and watched the meteor shower. I wish the neighbors would turn off their super bright outdoor lights at night but that's nothing against this house.

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.
