About this property

The Sunset Road House (Hot Tub! Hammocks! Fireplace!)

The Sunset Road House is a two bed, two bath newly renovated 1952 homesteader cabin just 15 minutes from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park in Joshua Tree, CA.

We have designed this home so that our guests can unplug and relax while enjoying all the modern amenities. Enjoy the spectacular sunrises and sunsets from the expansive deck and relax in the hot tub at night surrounded by open desert views, wildlife, and a starry, starry sky.

We recently did a total renovation (down to the studs!) on this mid-century gem so it has every modern amenity for you to enjoy. It sits on 5 gorgeous acres which you can explore during your visit. You must drive a couple of unpaved roads to access the house but no visitor has had a issue so far, Prius included! Local residents include rabbits, roadrunners, turtles, coyotes and all manner of desert creatures. Our favorite thing about the property is that it truly feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. Check in and tune out :)

The large, open concept living space has a modern kitchen, dining space and living room area. There are two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The master has a king bed (with en suite bathroom) and the second bedroom has two twin beds which can be converted into a king, at your request. The second bedroom also has a full bathroom. The home works well for a group of friends, two couples, or small families. If you need accommodation for more guests we also have a recently renovated vintage travel trailer available for rent near by. Feel free to inquire about our other properties! We welcome pets with a $50 pet fee per pet.

The Sunset Road House is about a 12 minute drive to downtown Joshua Tree (fun shops, restaurants & bars) and a 15 minute drive to the Joshua Tree National Park Visitors Center at the west entrance of the park. In addition to hiking, we are close to the renowned Integratron (a healing sound bath experience) or enjoy a tour of the Gubler Orchid Farm. If you are looking for a little action, head on over to Pioneertown (25 min drive) and visit the Old West movie set before dinner and drinks at the famous music venue, Pappy & Harriet's. You might even get lucky and see The Rolling Stones do a set!

At The Sunset Road House there is a fabulous swimming pool (seasonal) and both a bocce ball court and a horseshoe pit... or do absolutely nothing and lie on the chaise lounges, looking out at the expansive desert by day and/or soaking in the hot tub at night under a blanket of stars. Take in the desert air in the private outdoor shower whenever it strikes your fancy!

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Kathryn Winslow

Host profile image
Originally from Canada, we have lived in LA for over a decade. My husband Jon and I have two young daughters and we love to travel and explore together. We recently discovered the high desert and now spend every available weekend in Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, Landers and Pioneertown.
We live in a wonderfully historic and culturally rich neighborhood of Los Angeles but we love to roam near and far to see what other adventures await!

Why they chose this property

We love the high desert. We fell for the way our pulses slowed and our stress evaporated when we visited Joshua Tree. When we found this cabin, we knew we could make it something very special and over the course of a very hot summer, we renovated it completely including building our swimming hole! It remains our happy place and we are overjoyed to share it with you.

What makes this property unique

Sitting in the hot tub at night watching the starry night sky is a slice of heaven. By day you can watch the jackrabbits zip by while enjoying your coffee on the massive patio or take a dip in the pool to cool off in summer or cozy up by the fireplace in winter. Put on a record and dance around the living room. Find your joy and peace in this little slice of heaven in the desert.
