The house and surrounding property is fantastic! Well-designed, comfortable in every corner, great views, and feels private. Easy to use BBQ hooked up directly to gas line. Everything was clean and looked new — hope future guests treat it accordingly because it's truly a beautiful space. The hiking trail that starts in the backyard is super quiet, and an easy hike...you likely won't see a soul! The one real headache: getting there. The turnoff is an unmarked (and very bumpy) dirt road — no sign, no road name. We followed the host's instructions to the letter but still drove past it multiple times because the green sign mentioned? Doesn't exist. We only made it thanks to Google Maps finally getting signal. Seriously, do NOT use Apple Maps. Would've been a smoother arrival with better navigation guidance ("look for wooden sign with "535..."). 2 things I highly recommend: getting pizza at Giant Rock restaurant, just a short drive away, and definitely arriving during daylight <3

We had a wonderful stay at Rocky Road Retreat. The property is absolutely beautiful, private, and peaceful—exactly what you want for a Joshua Tree getaway. The floor-to-ceiling windows were one of our favorite features, bringing in tons of natural light and stunning panoramic desert views throughout the day. The home felt very clean with simple, tasteful decor, and the quiet/secluded setting made it incredibly relaxing. We especially loved walking around the property and taking in the scenery. The new hot tub was also a huge plus after a long day exploring. The hosts were very responsive and accommodating anytime questions or small issues came up, which we really appreciated. One thing to note: the road can be a little tricky to spot once you leave the paved road, so just drive slowly when approaching the property. While it’s a little farther from Joshua Tree itself, the seclusion is 100% worth it. Also definitely make time to visit Pioneertown such a fun and unique little town nearby

This was one of the most beautiful Airbnb's I've ever stayed at. The location is perfect, the amenities are plentiful, and the host was very helpful. Plan on not using your cell phone once you're there since there is really no service out there, which was fine by me! The only issue was not being able to pull up my email/texts from the host to get the Wi-Fi password so I had to head back down the hill a bit to pull that up so I could get logged in back at the house. I also recommend arriving before dark because it's fairly remote and there's minimal lights once you turn off the main highway onto the dirt roads to the house. This place was great, I highly recommend it, and will absolutely be back.
