Cozy and peaceful with stunning views. This retreat is great for couples, new families, solo adventurers, artist, photographers,and business travelers. The outdoor shower and the vintage records are very popular. This 2.5 acre retreat is situated high above the valley with expansive mountain views in all directions.

Wildlife corridors from the Park brings amazing visitors (bobcat, coyote, roadrunners etc..). Our cozy 1 bedroom home is a former homestead cabin which has been added onto over the years. It is 3 miles from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance (now designated an International Dark Sky Park)! You'll love the quiet outdoor space and night-time stargazing. Enjoy a large covered patio with a wood burning (firewood provided) outdoor screened fire pit and beautiful views to the North and East. In back is an outdoor shower, jacuzzi and views of the hills to the South and the western skies. Sunsets can be amazing all year round.

Excellent views outdoors from every room. We have a fully equipped kitchen, dining room with seating for 8, living room which has stereo system (with Bluetooth, turntable w/vintage vinyl and Smart HD TV Blu-Ray/DVD player), queen bed in the bedroom, full bath, half bath in garage, new queen (memory foam) sleeper sofa, queen air mattress (Beauty Rest - comfort level 10) fits in living room, a couch and loveseat.

Coyote Creek Retreat is a beautiful place to get away from a busy life and enjoy the wonder of Joshua Tree. The home is so comfortable and pleasant, and the property is a park into itself. We guarantee you will love Coyote Creek as much as we did!

Wonderful JTree Retreat

Pam and Roy are outstanding hosts! Their JTree retreat house is the perfect get away for two who enjoy a quiet, desert setting, star gazing, morning quail cooing in the yard, the occasional coyote, owl, and wonderful sunrises and sunsets. Our go to JTree Retreat.

nextdoor to Joshua Tree

The whole family (ages 6-42) had a wonderful time! Property was neat, comfortable, super fun (spa, board games, records, movies), and just down the street from Joshua Tree National Park. Hosts were very responsive to our questions. Thank for the great experience! We'll be back for sure!

Love Love Love This Place

This is my new favorite weekend getaway. It is so peaceful and grounding. I love the convenience. It is of course close to the monument with world class rock climbing, but their are also hiking and mountain biking trails accessible right from the property. It also has a large patio with which is perfect for hanging out with friends and enjoying the scenery. The view from the hot tub and the outdoor shower in the back is also really cool. Can't wait to come back.

A very magical time in Joshua Tree

Coyote creek is exactly as advertised. Communication with the owners was stellar. We go to Joshua Tree National Park usually about 4-5 times per year. First time staying in Coyote Creek. We loved it! 10 minutes to the park entrance - we spent all day in the park, then home in the late afternoon to relax, cook dinner and listen to records and read. Liked leaving our regular life behind and just enjoy coffee in the morning, back to the park and repeat. Perfect for us. Has everything we needed inside and happy to see the roadrunners around outside. Would love to stay again. Thank you!

I’ve stayed at dozens of rentals and this one was top tier for sure. It’s very difficult to travel with cooking basics (olive oil, coffee, storage containers, etc) and this place had it all and more. Very close to JTNP and very good communication with the host.

Had a great stay here. Stargazing in the hot tub was a highlight. Property has laundry on site, plenty of coffee/tea options (espresso maker!). Location is pretty private for being in a neighborhood, nice quiet road and close to Joshua Tree town center. Very helpful and responsive hosts—so kind. Thanks!!

If you're looking for luxury accommodations, this isn't it. But if you want peace and quiet, dark night skies, close access to the park, a comfy bed and a good shower, Coyote Creek is for you! We enjoyed all the explicit instructions posted around. We didn't have to wonder how to work anything! Lots of wildlife. Bird-watchers will love it!

The most wonderful, cozy stay in all of JT

It is evident how much thought, love, and intention Roy & Pam have put into their beautiful home. From all of the wonderful amenities to the eco-conscious property efforts, there is much gratitude to the desert in all of it. We can’t wait for our next stay.

Wonderful Stay in Joshua Tree

We had 63 days at this little piece of paradise. The house is situated at the end of a dirt road. We often saw coyote, rabbits, quails, and a variety of other birds. The house had all the comforts we needed with a well stocked kitchen, a comfortable bed, and there were plenty of towels and blankets. We appreciated having trails within a short walk from the house. We did not use the hot tub but we did use the outdoor shower for a morning cold shower (better than coffee to wake up!). The hosts were always responsive and helpful. We would definitely use this accommodation in the future on our return to Joshua Tree.

An unforgettable stay in a beautiful place

Our stay at Coyote Creek has been amazing. Pam and Roy have been brilliant throughout, communicating with us and providing us with details plus being on hand and approachable during our stay. Check in and out was easy. The retreat is a very special place, in it's own peaceful and secluded corner of Joshua Tree. We loved spending time outside with so many breathtaking views to see - seeing the sun rise and set on the patio and star gazing with a meteor shower in the spa were amazing experiences! There was plenty of wildlife watching to be done aswell. The home itself is lovely and has everything we needed, instructions on using appliances were very kindly left by Pam and Roy. We were able to cook meals and wash some clothes. When indoors we loved looking at the record collection and playing a few - soul food for any music lover! Our amazing stay will live long in the memory and we only have good things to say. We will recommend Coyote Creek to our UK friends and are sure that anyone who stays will feel as lucky as we do to have spent time in such a special place. Thank you so much Pam and Roy!

Great stay near the park

We enjoyed our time at the Coyote Creek! The location, so close to the park was perfect and the views from the windows exceptional. We enjoyed the hot tub after a few hikes and the view of the stars from the tub was incredible. We also enjoyed listening to many of the vinyl records from the vast collection. The sleeper sofa was also very comfortable. We loved having the gas grill available and the variety of spices and condiments made cooking much tastier. The large yard looks beautiful but unfortunately it was too cold and snowy to enjoy it. We did see 2 coyotes cross the yard. We loved all the instructions available to make everything work. Roy and Pam are excellent hosts! They are friendly and just want your stay to be the best. They were very helpful and quick to answer our questions. We really enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Roy Houston and Pam Hansen

Host profile image
Pam and I grew up in LA and San Diego. We both like to garden at our home in San Diego. We have 70+ varieties of edible plants growing. We've been coming to J-Tree since the 70's - climbing and hiking with family and friends.

Why they chose this property

We looked for years to find a vacation place. We knew instantly this place was special, 2.5 acres, terrific views and room for family and friends.
The only noise you hear is from the wildlife coming thru the property.

What makes this property unique

You'll never feel cramped on the extra large covered porch with amazing mountain views.
Being high on the hills above the town and 3 miles from the Park makes the location extra special.
