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.

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.

Rustic homestead at doorstep of JTNP
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. Located 1/2 a mile from the West entrance to Joshua Tree NP and about 3 miles from the main road going through Joshua Tree, CA (Route 62), it could not be more convenient. The home was well furnished, clean and air conditioned. Plenty of pots/pans/cookware as well as some key spices and condiments for cooking. Two bathrooms (one with a shower and one with a tub/shower) were nice. Outdoor spaces to sit on three sides of the home which was great depending on whether you wanted the heat from the sun or not. This was a very nice desert retreat.

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!

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

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!

Cozy w/ Great location
My husband and I stayed here for our first trip to Joshua Tree NP and this house was just what we needed. Location was just a no purple minute drive from the West entrance. Cute and cozy space, and even though you have the main road there, you really don’t hear any noise unless outside. Smart tv in the room worked much better than anticipated. Heater was great. If using Apple Maps, we had the issue of the GPS telling us the home was on the opposite side of the road. But we figured it out after a few minutes. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy and convenient house. Great proximity to Joshua Tree NP entrance and a short drive to town. The only downside is that it’s right next to the road, which isn’t apparent in the listing. The road noise isn’t bad, however. Bonus: the local jackrabbit sightings.

Charming home in a location close to park entrance and land trust just across Quail Springs Road so perfect for us to take a walk with our border collie. Very well maintained home and super clean. Would choose to stay here again. Also kitchen had number of cooking items on site—oil, salt, pepper etc. Missing a dishwasher but not a deal breaker since not doing major entertaining .

Cute little house, well equipped, large for 2 people. Ideally located to Joshua Tree NP. Outdoor furniture all around the house, so we always found a shady spot. Friendly, responsive owners. If I come back here, I will stay again at the Clever Rabbit.

Special! I had my morning coffee while sitting outside in their hammock, watching the sun rise across the little valley until it hit the property. As the light moved, the yard filled with bunnies and birds finding breakfast. They were unaware of my presence in the swing hammock! Just beautiful. My one comment is if you play late, leave a light on to help you find your way back. I will gladly stay here again!

Wonderful, clean, uniquely decorated property
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful property. It is clean, well stocked with most everything you'd need and with nice decorative touches, especially the front yard. The front yard has numerous chairs for relaxing, as well as a table and fireplace and BBQ (in the back) for outdoor eating. Although the front is close to the main highway, the cars didn't bother us in the afternoon as we sat an observed a jackrabbit, a roadrunner and a woodpecker. Although it is walking distance to the entrance of Joshua National Park, not sure why you would want to do that since it is a huge park and still several miles to get to the established trails. Be sure to try the Hall of Horrors and try squeezing through a couple narrow slot canyons. It is definitely a spot to "unplug" because the wifi is virtually unusable. I had to switch to my mobile internet, which wasn't much better as I usually only got two bars there. And they do let you know there is no TV and only a DVD player. And though they list the TV as a Smart TV, you can't use it for streaming because the Wifi is too weak. So mostly after hiking the park we just relaxed, read and listened to music, which was just fine. They have a speaker you can attach an iPhone or iPod to, but we brought our own portable speaker. So if you definitely want to unplug, this is a great spot to do so, although I think it would be nice if they invested in a stronger wifi.
