Welcome to Casa Rocosa | A Tranquil Desert Retreat Minutes from Joshua Tree National Park

Nestled on five private acres in the heart of Joshua Tree, Casa Rocosa is a serene, design-forward retreat that blends midcentury character with modern comfort. Just minutes from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park and the charming village center, this peaceful home offers a rare combination of privacy, style, and proximity to everything you need.

Whether you’re here to explore the natural wonders of the park, enjoy the local art and culinary scene, or simply rest and recharge beneath a sky full of stars — Casa Rocosa is the perfect place to unwind.

The Space
-------------------------
Thoughtfully renovated in 2025, the home is designed with an eye for simplicity, calm, and livability. Clean architectural lines and a neutral palette are softened by organic textures, cozy nooks, and curated midcentury furnishings. Every room invites you to slow down and take in the beauty of the desert.

The open-concept living space includes:
- A spacious living room with two sofas (that can be converted into twin daybeds for sleeping), an armchair + ottoman, and a Samsung Frame TV
- A fully stocked kitchen with modern appliances and seating for three at the island
- A light-filled dining area with seating for six and large picture windows framing desert views

Bedrooms & Bathrooms
-------------------------
The home includes three thoughtfully appointed bedrooms and three bathrooms:
- Primary Suite #1: King bed, armchair, and bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower
- Primary Suite #2: King bed, armchair, and en suite bathroom with walk-in shower
- Bedroom #3: Full-over-full bunk beds with twin trundle bed, armchair, cabinet storage, and half bath (toilet and sink only)

Each bedroom offers high-quality Parachute bedding, shades, and views of the landscape beyond — ideal for restful nights and slow mornings.

Outdoor Living
-------------------------
Step outside to enjoy the kind of space that only the desert can offer. Casa Rocosa is built into a hillside and surrounded by nature, offering a level of quiet and seclusion that’s hard to find.

- Private hot tub with views of open sky and rugged hills
- Shaded patio with hammock, lounge seating and fire pit
- Outdoor dining table for eight
- Outdoor shower for refreshing post-hike rinses

Enjoy your morning coffee to the sounds of quail and desert wrens, and your evenings under a sky full of stars.

Comfort, Calm, and Convenience
-------------------------
Casa Rocosa was created as a place to truly unwind. You’ll find quiet corners to read or reflect, a telescope for moon viewing, art supplies for inspired moments, and a library of board games for unplugged fun.

Need to stay connected? The home is equipped with high-speed Wi-Fi and a smart TV with guest-friendly access to Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney+

Location
-------------------------
Casa Rocosa feels a world away — yet it’s less than a 5-minute drive to:
- Joshua Tree National Park West Entrance
- Downtown Joshua Tree for restaurants, shops, coffee, bars, and the Saturday Farmers Market

Practical Details

About the host

Hosted by Mara Koffmann

Host profile image
I love living in cities, but escaping to nature whenever I can. I was born in Chicago, moved to NYC for college and stayed there for 20 years before relocating with my family to LA. We purchased this home in Joshua Tree after falling in love with the area, and I am so excited to share the beauty of our home with guests.

Why they chose this property

What I love most about this area is the balance it offers — you're surrounded by raw, breathtaking desert landscapes and total quiet, yet you're just minutes from amazing food, local coffee shops, live music, art galleries, vintage shopping, and unforgettable hikes. It’s rare to find a place that feels so remote and peaceful while still being so accessible to everything you might want to explore.

What makes this property unique

Casa Rocosa offers a rare blend of total privacy and design-forward comfort. Set on five secluded acres and built into the natural hillside, the home is surrounded by raw desert beauty — yet inside, it’s all clean lines, thoughtful midcentury details, and cozy modern touches. It’s the kind of place where you can watch jackrabbits hop past your window in the morning, take a soak in the hot tub under the stars at night, and never hear a sound but the wind. Stylish, serene, and deeply connected to nature — that’s what makes it special.
