Mid Century Modern - Direct Park Access with Stargazing Patio

A 1961 mid century modern architectural gem on the border of the Joshua Tree National Park. Access to friendly hills hiking trails from the backyard! This bright and lofty multi-level home is perfect for escape getaways- with an indoor fireplace, backyard gas grill, a kidney shaped pool, a mountain view hot tub and an infrared sauna. Three bedrooms and bathrooms.

The covered backyard patio gives you so much extra outdoor space, it's a really nice area to cozy up and read a book or relax outside without being directly in the sun. The paved areas really are unique and maximize your ability to enjoy the exterior.

Very nice neighborhood, minutes from Joshua Tree Village and Yucca Valley. There is also a nice playground in walking distance to the house.

local ordinance requires all cars at all short term rentals must park in the driveway. failure to do this can result in a fine up to ten thousand dollars.

Ideal spot for a relaxing girls’ trip. Beautifully appointed, comfortable bedrooms and plenty of space to gather, including a stunning living room with a view of the valley below and a giant back yard with chaise lounges & outdoor sofas. Great kitchen with everything you’d need. Super convenient to all the Joshua Tree shops. EV charging at the nearby Aldi’s.

78th Birthday Trip

We celebrated my mom's birthday by exploring Joshua Tree National Park. The house was perfectly located for us to conveniently drive through the park, had comfortable areas for reading and relaxing, and a great kitchen BBQ for us to make delicious meals. We loved relaxing at the house after hours of hiking and flower spotting in the park.

great location, house could use a little TLC

Nice location backed up against rock hills, kitchen was exceptionally well equipped with appliances, extra water bottles and anything one might need. A few things were not up to par - range heated so slowly we decided to do takeout, showerhead in main bath wouldn't stay in place. With a little attention from owners, this place would be excellent.

Prescott Villa!

Prescott was great! Stylish and funky and full of character. Outdoor spaces are fantastic, we got to see a nearly full moon rise over the hill outside the back of the property. The pool was a relief and large enough for a normal size husband and wife and our giant 6’2 son!

Amazing location

Very comfortable house with everything we needed. The patio/pool/view is what really makes this place great. We stayed during the July 4th long weekend heat wave, but still with the shaded patio and pool we were outside much of the day and evening. The house is right up against the dramatic, rocky hills and they are teeming with wildlife. You can hook up to a cool hiking/nature trail out the back gate. And the neighborhood is super quiet. Overall, a very relaxing and restful stay.

Amazing!!

We loved our stay! We are family of 3 = me (mother) and my husband and 9 year old daugher who was learning how to swim. The pool was shallow so it was perfect for her. This property was beautiful in all ways! The backyard is HUGE. We enjoyed the hike from the back door. The cactus garden is well maintained, and we saw rabbits visiting quite often. The best part was the ower who was so kind to offer us the place in such a short notice. We originally booked a different house but the house was contaminated with mouses... We were desparate to find another place to stay. We contacted the ower through Vrbo since the website does not allow to book it on the same day and we got a response in less than 5 mins. The ower was enjoying his vacation in the property but offered us the place right away. We are so grateful to his kindness and hospitality. Joshua Tree is a magical place. We'd definitely like to come back! Thank you so much!! Masae

Great location but disappointed with the home

The location of this home is perfect. We could walk out of the back gate to get to a short (two-mile) trail that is lovely for a morning walk. We were only about a ten-minute drive to the trailheads at Joshua Tree where we spent two great days hiking. It was the home that disappointed us. The condition and cleanliness made our time there difficult. Given we were only there a few days, we just made the best of it. The hot tub in the backyard is in a great place in the yard. We used that after the sunset and the sky was beautiful. You also back up to such a great view. Easy check-in/check-out process and when we messaged the owner, they were so quick to respond.

Location to Park

The location to Joshua Tree was great. We were able to go to the park every day of our stay. The Christmas decor was a nice touch. It was really nice to soak in the hot tub every night after hiking every day.

This house has everything you need if exploring Joshua Tree and surrounding areas. Very close to the park - in fact you can walk out the back gate if you want. We enjoyed a fire one night and the hot tub every night enjoying the stars above.

great location and accommodations

This house was a wonderful place to return to after a day of hiking-there was even hiking right out the back door! Our proximity to the west entrance of Joshua Tree was really a plus. The house was clean and had everything we needed-even a hot tub out back to unwind and catch the starry night sky. The owner was a gem to communicate with-she answered our questions very quickly and it was clear she wanted our stay to be enjoyable for us.

Great Location

This property is best suited for a max of 2 couples since there are only two queen beds. The furniture could use some updating. The TV room only accommodates two people at a time. The living room is spacious, but lacks a coffee table and the two sofas are at lease ten feet apart. The spacious back yard has a large sheltered area to stay out of the sun, but could use a table for outdoor dining. The small pool is fun to cool off on a hot day. Some cousins next to the pool would help. It's on a paved road so that's a big plus. Many rentals out there are on difficult dirt roads.

House was exactly as described, pool is small but nice. Jacuzzi works well although did cool down after an hour or 2 of being in it at night. All appliances work. Backyard is large with plenty of cactuses and great views. Overall very nice house and hostess nice as well.
