Black Rock Luxury Lodge is certainly that in every respect. The property is wonderfully pristine, with beautiful furnishings, huge living room, cozy den and large bedrooms, each with their own Smart TV. The kitchen is superb and filled with everything you would ever need for preparing meals. The outside, with its Joshua Trees and desert views around the hot tub and pool provide for relaxing enjoyment as well as a mesmerizing ambiance, especially after dark. Also, parking in the garage was a nice added benefit.This home was everything we had hoped for and was the perfect place to spend a long weekend with relatives and in-laws. The six of us (thee couples) had a grand time enjoying all the amenities and would stay here again in a heartbeat! Finally, Skip was extremely helpful and quickly provided answers to any questions we had. Thank you so much for providing us with such a wonderful experience!

This house worked out perfectly for our family of eight. The home is well laid out, beautifully furnished and comfortable. We were in the pool and the hot tub every day. The proximity for hiking in Joshua Tree was a definite plus. Having never been to the park before, Joshua Tree was even more beautiful and awe inspiring than I imagined. Skip and Monica were great hosts. Communication was easy, and the home was well stocked. It is obvious that the hosts know what their guests need and they provide it for them. I hope I get the chance to come back here someday - so does the rest of my family!

About the host

Hosted by Skip Wells

Host profile image
Welcome to our VRBO profile! We are Skip and Monica, proud VRBO Premier Hosts. I am a retired Vice President of Commercial Lending with a passion for managing our 4 vacation rentals and long-term rentals in California and Texas. Monica, a former Dental Hygienist, enjoys shopping, decorating, and overseeing our cleaning crew as our Hospitality Manager. We are grateful to own such wonderful homes and cherish the opportunity to share them with our guests. Our passion for vacation homes shines through in the details and the friendly, positive interactions we have with our guests. We want every guest to have a memorable and stress-free vacation. That's why we employ professional cleaners to ensure that our homes are always in top-notch condition. On our free time, we love exploring the outdoors near our house in Huntington Beach by swimming, hiking, biking, and inline skating. We also enjoy discovering great restaurants, art exhibits, music venues, and other experiences that we can recommend to our guests and friends!

Why they chose this property

We are thrilled to share that we acquired this property in November 2020 and have spent a year meticulously renovating and preparing the house to make it the perfect desert oasis. We fell in love with the location and the stunning views that can be seen from every window, and we've worked hard to create a luxurious indoor space that blends seamlessly with the natural beauty of the surrounding desert.

This property is especially meaningful to us because it was our largest project yet, and we're proud to say it's now the fourth vacation rental in our portfolio. We believe our guests will appreciate the care and attention we've put into every detail, from the high-quality furnishings to the thoughtful amenities we've included to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We can't wait to share this special place with you and hope you'll choose to make it your home away from home during your time in the desert.

What makes this property unique

We love the location at the top of Sky-Harbor right next to the boundary of Joshua Tree National Park at Black Rock Canyon Campground and Horse Camp. Getting around Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree is a breeze, with Highway 62 running through the entire city. Along the way, you'll find Morongo Valley gas stations, Cactus Mart, and a variety of unique vintage stores with cafes sprinkled in. Be sure to stop by the Frontier Cafe on Pioneer Road and Hwy 62 before checking out the art display at the ACME gift shop out back, and don't miss the inviting Hoof and Post and other nearby shops.

There are also several grocery stores along Hwy 62, including Stater Brothers, Vons, and Grocery Outlet, as well as a row of fast food options that includes Arby’s, McDonald's, Del Taco, Sonics, and Starbucks. Towards Yucca Valley's end, you'll find the Super Walmart and Home Depot, along with more chain eateries like Steak and Shake, Panda Express, and Taco Bell.

Joshua Tree City is home to stunning scenic views and unique stores, including the must-visit Rock Shop and Joshua Tree Coffee. If you're up for an adventure, head down Park Ave. to discover Coyote Corner, JT Saloon (which can have a long wait but is worth it), JT Visitor Center, and the Crochet Museum. Park Ave. is also the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, where you can explore the breathtaking landscapes and take on a variety of hikes. Note that there is a fee of around $30.00 to enter the park, but it's well worth it. Our favorite hike is Parker Dam, and we highly recommend checking out the photo-worthy Skull Rock while you're there.
