This was a beautiful place to stay for our brief trip to Joshua Tree. We stayed with our 12 and 10 year old children, and they loved the huge yard with hammocks, games and plenty of space to play. We loved using the hot tub and BBQ after a long day hiking, and everyone wished we could have stayed longer.

This was a clean, nicely decorated house. We only used one bed in the master and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. The house is well stocked and I appreciate the use of the cooler. I also appreciate that we could hose off the rental car which was needed after traveling on some dirt roads to trail heads. It was very hot so manager allowed me to drop off my stuff sooner than the checkin time. I would highly recommend a stay here

Perfect location for our Joshua Tree vacation. The house was great with lots of extra thoughtful touches. The backyard was perfect for relaxing in the hot tub and star gazing after a day of hiking in the park. Comfortable beds, great kitchen for breakfast. We would definitely stay here again!!

Enjoyed a relaxing weekend near Joshua Tree. Everything is as pictured. Dogs enjoyed the fully fenced backyard. Property is about 10 mins from the visitor center. Make sure you follow the owner's instructions to the property, there are a lot of dirt roads that the gps wants to take you on.

The place was really nice, newly renovated and clean—nice fresh towels and linens. Well stocked kitchen and good coffee. A great value, esp the hot tub. Very private. The skies were much darker than where I live, and I saw more stars than usual, but still couldn’t quite see the Milky Way! Be sure to use the directions from the host, to stay on paved roads. If you let Google Maps bring you, you’ll end up on some dirt roads. (They're not bad—just drive slow.)

We had an outstanding stay at Roadrunner House! The house was perfectly clean when we walked in, and everything we needed during our stay was provided. The neighborhood is nice and quiet, and with very little light pollution in the neighborhood the stargazing was excellent. We spent a lot of time by the fire (the fire pit is outstanding). The views of the surrounding hills are beautiful, and my daughter loved lounging in the hammocks. We would absolutely book again!

Our stay
The stay was nice. Great house with a beautiful little backyard. The only hiccup is that the code provided was not correct and we did not get a response until more than 24 hours later luckily we were able to get into the house around back, but this forced us to be unable to properly lock the house when we left for the day. All in all it was a solid stay. Hopefully the kinks with the check in can be smoothed out.

Wonderful stay, and we'll be back!
We had a wonderful time in the Roadrunner house! It's decorated well, was clean, and the hot tub which we used every night of our stay was so great. Swinging in the hammock at night looking up at the stars is something not to be missed. The toilet is a little small, but that won't stop us from booking this space again!

Peaceful and relaxing stay
My boyfriend and I stayed here for a few nights while exploring Joshua Tree National Park. This place had everything you could need from toiletries to a humidifier in the bedroom. We enjoyed the hot tub on cold nights and the hammocks out back fo star gazing. The property is very peaceful and there is a resident great horner owl in the tree out front that was cool. Highly recommend
