About this property

RockHill Ranch is a serene and gorgeous five-acre oasis in the Joshua Tree desert. It has breathtaking 360-degree views and a private, climbable rock mountain. The large two-bedroom, two-bath, fully-equipped house has been meticulously renovated and decorated with beautiful decor, while remaining comfortable and casual. The original homestead from the 1950’s was built with rocks on the inside a truly unique space. It’s the perfect get-away for artists and writers, couples, families, and anyone seeking a peaceful, relaxing, and rejuvenating vacation. The back yards is a ton of fun for rock scrambling and the pool (open May 15-Sept 29) is wonderful for cooling off.

A fully equipped kitchen, dining area, is open to the main living room. A gas and charcoal BBQ grill station is available on the side patio just outside of the kitchen.

There is a king bed in the master bedroom loft, flat screen smart TV with an Apple TV unit. Access to the balcony with large lounge chairs and a single rider porch swing perfect for relaxing and enjoying the panoramic view. The cozy guest bedroom offers a queen bed and private porch. There is a modular sofa in the Rock-room that can be configured into 2 single beds or a large queen.

Both the rock-room living room and the living room off the kitchen are wonderful entertaining spaces. Both offer large flat screen TV's, with Netflix/Hulu access and Apple Tv unit as well as a Dvd player. There are cozy wood-burning fireplaces in both living rooms. Modern conveniences such as wireless internet, portable blue-tooth speaker, stereo and surround sound available as well.

There is an outdoor dining table with seating for 12 on the back patio. There are several seating areas around the property, the favorite located at a cozy gas fire table with a rustic sofa and chairs ready for a relaxing evening. The lounge chairs and a large hammock surround the pool in the back yard and they are great for stargazing at night.

Pool & Outdoor shower are closed Oct 1-May 14. Pool is not heated. During the summer months it is so wonderful take a dip in the pool to cool off and to float around and bask in the breathtaking views.

This is a 5 acre property with incredible boulders that the Flintstones would be jealous of. The property is located off a dirt road in a quiet neighborhood near the west entrance to the Joshua Tree National Park. Although just 2 hours drive from Los Angeles you will find Joshua Tree to be worlds away.

Perfect Joshua Tree Escape

We had an amazing time at this property. Having visited JT a few times before this location was perfect for us, it’s as if you’ve got your own National Park as your back garden. Our boys (aged 10 & 12) spent very happy days exploring and climbing the rocks. The house is very well equipped so we mostly chilled out at the property and cooked delicious food. The house is immaculate and well styled, we would have no hesitation staying here again. One of our best Vrbo experiences.

Unforgettable and wonderful experience.

We stayed at this amazing home for 2 nights in August on a family vacation from the UK. The home is absolutely perfect… such an amazing experience. The check in was seamless (Jamie spoke to us after we had arrived and gave us a thorough explanation of everything we needed to know). The location is brilliant, minutes drive from the park entrance but more importantly you feel completely away from it all. It’s totally private, with an incredible vista that makes you feel like you’re alone in the desert. The house is fantastic. Totally unique, beautifully decorated by the owners with all the things you need (eg tech but more importantly great air con) but also lovely artwork and furniture. The view from the balcony/terrace is stunning. Outside there are so many different little places to sit and enjoy the desert. The pool was a lifesaver (v hot in august!). We really cannot recommend this property highly enough. A truly memorable experience. Thank you Jamie!!!!

Fabulous property in a great location

The property is a mile from the Joshua Tree Park entrance. It is at the top of a hill and so not overlooked. The grounds are extensive and include their own private 'rock mountains'. It is peaceful, mediative and full of wildlife. The house is 'quirky', comfortable and well-stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed our week.

Rockhill Ranch - a wonderful location

This is a very special property, just outside the entrance to Joshua Tree. We watched the sun rise from bed in the morning and enjoyed reading in the 'rock room' in the evenings. The outside is secluded and imaginitevely laid out. We hope to be back.

Desert Paradise!

Our trip to Joshua Tree National Park was incredible, in large part due to our stay at Rock Hill Ranch! The home was wonderful and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The highlight for us was enjoying the beautifully landscaped property....Joshua trees, Cholla cacti, stunning rock formations that were subtly backlit at night with solar lighting. We enjoyed early morning sunrises, complete with a roadrunner sighting, as well as sunsets by the outdoor fireplace that gave way to the stars of the beautiful dark sky. It truly has the feel of a private resort, and we would love to visit again!

About the host

Hosted by JamieA

When I am not working I love to travel and explore different locations around the world and when I first came to Joshua Tree I was blown away. For years I dreamed of having a desert oasis of my own to escape to and share with all my family and friends.

Why they chose this property

Rock Hill Ranch is a dream come true, its so unique and I have had countless wonderful experiences here over the years. Whether its swaying lazily in the hammock, taking a dip in the pool or relaxing in the cool afternoon shade of giant boulders I love the peace and calm it gives me and others.

What makes this property unique

As a host I reflect on the first time I saw The RockHill Ranch and how magical that was for me; I strive to share that magic with each guest that stays here.
