About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Clever Rabbit Joshua Tree @ Park West Entrance

Five acres abutting Joshua Tree National Park and less than 1/4 mile from the main entrance. Unobstructed views of mountains in all directions & many Joshua Trees on the property.

You can hike directly into the Park from the property - one of only a handful of properties that has direct access to the Park. It has incredible night sky viewing with peaceful nights.

The lower section of the property has outdoor chairs where you can escape in darkness to view the stars.

Clever Rabbit has everything you'd expect for your Joshua Tree escape, the ultimate rustic desert chic 1 BR with 2 fold down sofas. A modest but clever house that can accommodate up to four + guests. Featuring a large master + en-suite bath & stunning views from every window! With a second full bathroom off the main hall, it's the ideal setup for a small group/gathering. You'll find the small kitchen fully stocked for cooking up a storm. Cozy up to the wood burning fireplace in the LR or enjoy a fire under the stars.

With unobstructed views of mountains & the park, you'll find the front porch a perfectly serene place to take in some sun, dine at the picnic table or lounge on the hanging chairs.

Wander directly into the park from the Southern section of the property, it's private & allows for easy park access for hiking or just sitting & taking in the beauty of Joshua Tree.

The property is maintained so well that I would prefer staying here than a 5 star hotel. The manager Pascal has been so helpful! When I messed up with the passcode, he was so patient, friendly and assuring in helping me quickly getting it right that made my wife and I feel so comfortable, so safe. The location of this property is just a couple of minutes away from the western entrance of the national park. You cannot get a better location! I am enjoying this place…

Perfect getaway at the entrance to Joshua Tree

Amazing property minutes away from the Joshua Tree Park entrance. Two full bathrooms and sizable master bedroom, full stocked kitchen, sunrise seating, 2 midday porches, and sunset seating made this the perfect rental!

This place it awesome

You are getting exactly what the Listing shows. Well appointed, big bedroom, fire pit, grill, a place to star gaze. Would highly recomment staying here. We were actually able to walk into the park from the house, it's that close. One note, which is only a note, the house is located on the road to one of the entrances to joshua tree. As such, there is more traffic than you would expect and some car lights going by as you are enjoying the scenery/camp fire. If you are looking for a completely secluded get away, this may not be for you, but if you are looking for a place with quick access to both Joshua Tree National Park and to town, this is a great place. Would stay again 100%

Joshua Tree VRBO

A beautiful place to stay. A few things to note: the ktichen cabnets did not stay closed and the shower in the bathroom near the bedroom was very strong. These are minor points - I hope to stay there again soon

Nice & Convenient

It’s a little gem of a house… updated, but has the soul of a classic JT casita. Super comfortable bed, nicely stocked kitchen (Utenils, spices & oils, etc.). One thing to note is that the house is actually situated close to the main road — it’s not exactly out in the dark night sky as cars do drive by regularly. Great hosts and perfect communication.

Perfectly situated next to Joshua Tree NP entrance

Close to the park entrance and a short drive to the Visitor Center. The house had everything we needed, was super clean and comfy, and had outdoor seating for viewing the sunrise or the sunset, having a meal in the shade, or for a fire under the stars. We saw jack rabbits and hummingbirds and heard coyotes sing at night. We hope to return!

Great get-away in Joshua Tree

Very comfortable, nicely decorated and well-appointed rental with fabulous outdoor options for enjoying the view and relaxing. (The only slight drawback for us was the slower internet as we had just a few online things to do during our vacation.)
