Family-friendly holiday rentals in Joshua Tree

Great place with awesome amenities. Pool and hot tub were awesome. Spent many hours playing table tennis. Definitely going to come back!

What an amazing place! The property is nestled in the boulders and is practically its own park. In addition, the surroundings have the traces, ruins (?), of a major performance art space that was active in the late 1990s. There are funky twisted metal parts of domes, solar powered mood lighting, wooden stages, and dozens of little areas with chairs, tables, and gold painted bedframes for camping out. A little eerie? Yes. But that's not a bad thing, if you are willing to go with the vibe. Separate from the property, the house is super well-appointed. Solid kitchen set-up, extensive games / toys, expansive first aid kit, and more.

Marcos place was awesome, beautiful backyard where we enjoyed watching sunset, we enjoyed the hot-tub, also the kitchen had everything so we easily cooked our dinner, Marcos was quick to respond to the situation which came during our stay

Sati’s little desert retreat was a wonderful value. A magical little getaway with all the comforts and amenities. Beautiful home, big jacuzzi, gorgeous bathroom that had an awesome shower and luxurious bathtub. The kitchen has its own fun personality. Finding this hidden location requires attention to detail luckily sati is proactive about directions.

We were really happy with our stay. at Coyote Creak Retreat. First it was easy to get to using Roy's instructions and also easy to get into. The home was clean and full of little items that you may have forgotten to bring....lots of spices, condiments, some medicine cabinet items, coffee, etc. Then it had all the extras: albums, huge variety of DVDs, games, espresso machine besides a coffee maker, etc. There are also helpful instructions around the place. Hot tub was also very nice. Place was quiet but full of animal life if you sat on the patio and watched. But most important to me was the responsiveness of our host. We got responses to our questions in a very timely manner. We would come here again.

We absolutely LOVED this spot! In case you’re in the fence: the accommodations are more than worth the price. The location feels totally secluded and serene, but you’re right next to all the good stuff in Joshua tree. The whole place inside & out is charming and thoughtfully furnished. Wonderful kitchen for cooking stocked with everything you need, beautiful dishes and glassware (& a really nice coffee set up!!) , dreamy bedroom, luxurious shower, amazing yard for relaxing with tons of space and a bunch of cozy hang areas. Hot tub & outdoor bathtub & shower were all super nice. Hosts are very responsive and kind…honestly might be the best I’ve ever felt about an Airbnb stay?? Zero complaints — could go on and on about how much we loved it. We’ll definitely be back!

You will not be disappointed if you stay here. Great location and great place all around. Would definitely stay here again.

A friend and I stayed here during a trip to check out Joshua Tree NP. The location was perfect for checking out the park and the surroundings are gorgeous. Everything was clean and comfortable and I appreciated the tasteful decor. Unfortunately, the weather was too cold to enjoy the beautiful pool but we had a nice time in the hot tub. I would definitely stay here again.

This was our second stay here. It’s so beautiful, clean, quiet, and a perfect location. The views are amazing, especially at night. It’s safe and feels remote but isn’t far from JTNP.

Really cool place…peace and quiet, nice views, close to the park. Very roomy inside and very well insulated. We opened all the windows at night and closed them all before we left for the park. The place was still nice and cool inside when we got back. Breakfast on the front porch, outstanding. We would highly recommend this place.

This was our first time in Joshua Tree, and quite honestly I can’t imagine a better place to have stayed. The house itself feels as though it was built from the surrounding area - incredibly homey while also being stylish. It was extremely comfortable and it was in the perfect location. The view is incredible and the sunsets and sunrises are precious. Cannon the host was wonderful to communicate with and was very friendly. I would recommend this stay to anyone.

Starlight Mesa Hotel was amazing. Erik's description was picture perfect. The setting is private and peaceful with many great restaurants and shops only a short drive away. The house was equipped with everything needed for a great getaway; the beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. The livingroom was inviting with a fireplace and wood to burn. He also provided books, games, and a record player with a great selection of tunes. If you need a place to stay while attending a venue in the area, or just looking for a relaxing getaway I totally recommend the Starlight Mesa Hotel.

Travis and Kevin are amazing. We were long term AirBnB stayers here in Joshua Tree. We created some beautiful memories in this home and Travis/Kevin were always incredibly responsive whenever we needed them. This is a must stay if it’s available and you’re traveling to the area!

Linda’s place was beautiful! her home was so clean and the ac worked wonders! Her kitchen has everything you will need and was spotless. Had a wonderful stay with beautiful star views (we were able to see Mars!) thank youuu

My husband and I stayed at Heike and Georg’s cozy desert home for a birthday staycation and it was everything we could have hoped for! The temperature was perfect to make use of the pool and the privacy made spending lots of outdoor time all the better. Aside from the pool, we loved the homey and curated decor which left us feeling creative and inspired throughout the trip. Heike and Georg were very accommodating, even giving us an early check in so we could make the most of our trip. They were also very responsive with all of our questions and made our stay that much better.

Cool, funky desert house with thoughtful vintage and local touches. Tons of indoor and outdoor seating and super private. The hot tub underneath the Joshua Tree was a great touch!

Great spot! The space is beautifully designed.

We stayed at Jamie's place as part of annual girls' trip, and it was absolutely perfect. The house is wonderful and the surroundings are beautiful! There was plenty of space for us to spread out, both inside and out, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook, and the beds were comfortable. Jamie is a very proactive host and had very clear instructions. We all would stay here again without a doubt!

This was one of the most amazing stays I have ever had through Airbnb. I fell in love with the house and property as soon as I arrived. As someone from the "Baby Boomer" generation, the mid 20th century architecture, furnishings and "vibe" of the house were a delight to experience! I was looking for a retreat-like experience, and in that regard the property was just perfect for me! I loved the privacy, and the views from the house and the property were truly outstanding! It was so quiet and so incredibly peaceful. It is the perfect location to watch the sunset with the mountains in the background, and I really enjoyed making a fire in the outdoor fireplace after sunset each night. I literally did not want to leave when it was time for me to check out! I enjoyed a visit to Joshua Tree National Park which is just minutes away from the house, and the hot tub and pool were amazing. Jenn was very friendly and easy to get ahold of for any questions. I can't wait to return!

Diane was an incredible host! Her and the Hidden Passage crew have created such a beautiful and peaceful oasis and made mine and my partner’s anniversary vacation an absolute dream! It truly felt like we were removed from society for a small moment and that’s exactly what we needed. The property was so well managed and kept so pristine! Every staff member we met on site was so kind and extremely helpful! I could not recommend this place enough! Also the pool rocks, we spent every single day in it!

We had an incredible stay at this Joshua Tree retreat. The full-length glass windows offered breathtaking views of the rocky desert landscape—sunrises and sunsets were unforgettable. The pool was perfect for cooling off in the summer heat, and the entire space felt serene and private. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the bathrooms were spotless and thoughtfully stocked with soap, shampoo, and conditioner. Beds were very comfortable, and the home was peaceful and quiet, yet just a 7-minute drive to the 29 Palms Highway. Highly recommended—would definitely stay here again!

My family and I had a great time. The place its beautiful. The bedrooms are big , beds are comfortable, the kitchen had everything that we needed to cook. The outside is very relaxing and peaceful. The spa and pool are very clean. Overall I do recommend staying here. Perfect staycation for us we were celebrating a birthday.

Thank you so much for your warm hospitality and for sharing your beautiful home with us. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of the house, from the cozy interiors to the inviting outdoor spaces. Your attention to detail made our stay truly special. We appreciate the clear check-out instructions and have ensured everything is in order as requested. We’ve added your listing to our favorites and look forward to returning on our next trip to Joshua Tree. Thanks again for everything!

Decided to take my first solo trip to Joshua Tree. I’m so glad I found this spot. It made my first trip so much more special. Everything was so close so it made it easy to do everything on my bucket list. Of course there was so much more to do. I would return anytime and recommend others to do so as well.
