The best part of the neighborhood: as you approach our home, you feel like you're already in the park without being in the park. Joshua Trees canvas the landscape on both sides of the road.
Our neighborhood is a couple miles south--and up the hill towards the park--from the main drag in Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree, Route 62. The added elevation affords incredible views over the valley to the north and west, especially at sunset, while mountains backdrop views to the south.
Our neighborhood itself features quiet, paved streets of single-family homes with large yards. The homes are adequately spaced apart, creating a community feel while maintaining a sense of tranquility and privacy.
While far from the hustle and bustle of big cities, you'll still have a great phone signal (in addition to our fast WiFi).
The towns of Joshua Tree & Yucca Valley have all the essentials found in typical small-town America, including 3 major grocery stores, multiple drug stores, great local eating options, medical services, etc.
We suggest most guests have a car for getting around as Uber/Lyft availability is sporadic. We offer 4 parking spots in our driveway for our guests (please no parking on the street).
Our house is a short drive to the national park entrance while being in a central location for guests looking to explore all the hi desert has to offer! Check out our guidebook for local recommendations!
