About this property

Joshua Tree Getaway. Private Boulder Wonderland. Rustic elegance. Sleeps ten.

"Stop looking for other listings, this is the one... from hot tub stargazing to the amazing hikes right in the backyard, we honestly didn't leave for three days."

- Steven, San Francisco

An artistic and comfortable three bedroom house plus two sleeping cabins, we were a star feature on the recent Parade of Homes tour. We are located at the end of a dirt road and nestled in six acres of surreal boulder landscape. We are equally close to the Park entrance and Pioneertown. Off the back porch is 200 acres of park-like desert to explore. Loaded with features and nice touches, and . . . the most sublime hot tub experience in the high desert!


** NOTE: The listed base rate is for the main house - up to FOUR GUESTS. Rates including the sleeping cabins are structured according to guest count. Please read rates carefully when requesting a booking. We keep the maximum at ten guests.

There are stunning boulder views from every window. Outside, enjoy the back porch, the 'lookout lounge' which overlooks the town of Joshua Tree and the national park, a hot tub, a cowboy tub, a yoga deck, a horseshoe pit, barbecue, great hangout spots, and more boulder piles than you can explore in a weekend.

Just off the back porch is over 200 acres of pristine desert for you to explore. Nothing but boulders, joshua trees, wildlife . . . And silence!

A scenic walking bridge takes you to a new six person saltwater hot tub surrounded by boulders - a stargazer's dream!

We are uniquely situated between the national park entrance in Joshua Tree and Pappy & Harriet's in Pioneertown - the best daytime and nighttime activities the high desert has to offer.

Or. . . You may decide you don't want to leave Sweet Rock at all!

As longtime desert enthusiasts, we have stayed at many rentals in the area and noted the many things that we appreciate in a good rental experience. After an extensive search, we found this uniquely wonderful property and spent two years customizing every detail in order to create what is now one of the best rental properties in the entire high desert.

The house was recently remodeled comfortably rustic, with a nice representation of work from local artists. Loaded with amenities and guest features, including a fully equipped new kitchen, wi-fi, a desert library, vinyl collection & player, games & dvds - and the most sublime hot tub experience in the high desert!

Every window on the property has a view to other-worldly ancient rock formations.

There are both gas and charcoal BBQs, for your grilling preference.

The main house has central AC & heat, plus an evaporative (swamp) cooler. There are efficient air/heat units in both of the cabins.
