We really enjoyed our week stay over Christmas! Everything was exactly as described and the host provided instructions, which made it easy to operate everything around the home. The outdoor spa was the perfect place to relax after a long day of hiking. The host kindly checked in after the first day to make sure everything was up to par. Would definitely stay again!
Superb luxury property that accommodated all of our needs. Great location near to the park and all shopping. Plenty of space to stretch out and relax for our week stay. Skip and Monica were very responsive when we contacted them. A very nice 5 star stay.
My family had an amazing stay at this property. Skip went above and beyond to make sure my family was taken care of. The house was very clean and as advertised. It's perfect for a family getaway. I would definitely book again.
This was our second stay at Black Rock. Very much enjoy this home. Beautiful landscaping and spacious inside. Would stay a third time, and we probably will.
We had a great stay in Joshua Tree. The property itself is very welcoming and tranquil. It was a perfect escape from LA for a few days. Everything was clean and exactly as pictured. We walked to a trailhead for a nice hike in Black Rock canyon but spent most of our time by the pool relaxing.
The house was fantastic. Beautiful and comfortable.

Hands down one of the best houses we've ever rented! Skip was extremely responsive, the house decor / layout / cleanliness was top tier. The beds were so comfortable, got some of the best sleep of my life there. Cannot recommend this place enough!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Skip’s and Monica’s home. They were quick to communicate when we had questions and went out of their way to accommodate our unique needs. The home was clean and the area is peaceful with plenty of opportunity for out door exploring. Highly recommend this place for your next Yucca Valley visit!
Don't Miss This Gem: Perfect VRBO for Exploring and Unwinding
This VRBO was amazing! It had everything we could've needed, even extras like spices and dog bowls. The hot tub was the perfect way to unwind at night, with incredible star views. Plus, the location was super convenient to hikes and yummy food. We'd definitely stay here again!
This home was absolutely top notch! Gorgeous, cozy and truly memorable…and that was even without getting to enjoy the spa/pool due to cool weather! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay as we explored Joshua Tree and the area! Fantastic, responsive owners as well! Thank you for a wonderful get-a-way!
This home is so beautiful. The hosts communicated well with us and were very nice and helpful. Everything we could want was thought of. There were signs and directions throughout the house explaining how to work things. We spent a lot of time in the hot tub and pool. The beds were very comfy. This is our favorite vacation home we have stayed in.
This is a great place to stay. Very clean throughout entire home and property. Lots of amenities to use and enjoy. We loved relaxing by the pool. Great communication with hosts - quick responses. Would definitely recommend for a Joshua Tree experience.
Thank You.
Beautiful home just a little way out of YV. Views of the hills and Joshua-Tree-studded desert. Very quiet neighborhood of larger parcels and homes. Fully stocked kitchen. A den open to the kitchen with its own 65’ TV. Large living room separate with even bigger TV. Distance between enough for people to break out for visiting. Same with the back yard, the pix can’t even capture the comfort. For even more comfort, 3 King bedrooms along the desert-side facing west, away from living areas, with a Queen bedroom off the kitchen. Ideal property for any ages to gather.
Thank you so much for such a truly beautiful home. It is by far one of the best organized and well-maintained rentals that we have ever used. Communication, rental information and location were perfect. The outdoor living is superb. Pool, hot tub and fire pit were terrific! All indoor appliances and electronics were easily operated and in great condition. Our family truly enjoyed our stay.
This property has it all! We were there for my daughter’s wedding at Sacred Sands and it was centrally located to everything we needed. We had the pool heated and it was used all the time by family. The views were beautiful and the home was perfect!! We will be back!
Absolutely perfect for our family vacation. The house is meticulously maintained and clean. Everything is available from bathroom and kitchen supplies to even hats for hiking. Spa area is perfect to cool down the heat or relax under the stars. Absolutely quiet location with opportunities to see quails, roadrunners, lizards directly on the property. Hosts are very responsive. We would return any time.
The entire house was clean and well organized. Friendly reminders throughout, without being overbearing about the rules. The location is fantastic. Its close to everything in Joshua Tree, yet you feel isolated and can be at peace with the beauty and magic of the desert landscape. The pool and hottub are a great refuge after a long day hitting the local trails.
Overall, one of the best, if not the best property's we have stayed at in the world.
I cannot say enough good things about this place and the owners! Monica and Skip were very responsive from the start and they do a really good job of informing guests of tips and how to use amenities without being overbearing or sounding snippy. And they do such a good job of caring for this AMAZING house! The beds were comfortable, the house is spacious and well-insulated, the kitchen is great for cooking and well stocked with pots, pans, knives and spices. Toiletries in the showers and plenty of nice towels. Plus their checkout list is easy-peasy, not ridiculous. But the absolute highlight is the yard. The pool is heated perfectly--we used it every single day. It has a nice shelf for sitting and it's great for kids who maybe aren't as confident swimmers. The hot tub is also incredible for relaxing under the stars or soaking after a hike. The whole place feels loved and homey, but also clean and modern. My small women's group absolutely wants to come back!
Amazing home with everything a group needs to function and have fun. We were a family of eight, from 18 to 82 and all of us were thrilled to share Thanksgiving 2023 here. Owners have created an oasis in Yucca Valley. This is a home with lots to do, spa, pool, games. Well appointed kitchen and bathrooms. Equipped with everything to make your stay perfect. Great communication with owners.
This trip was comprised of 8 well traveled women and this was undoubtedly the most incredible vacation home we have ever stayed in! The house was immaculate in every facet. Being able to jump in the pool after coming home from hiking Joshua Tree to watching a movie on their cozy couch, all 8 of us could have stayed here forever. If you’re looking for a desert getaway that feels like home, this is it! Skip and Monica were amazing. I cannot wait to come back one day!
After minutes on the property, you will want to give Skip and Monica 20 stars. Their communication is far superior to anything I’ve experienced with VRBO. The home looks just like the pictures. There are notes for any questions you may have while in home plus they even checked in on us. If you are planning a trip to Yucca Valley this is the place. Thank you Skip and Monica.
Awesome property on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park
This property is well located on the end of a cul-de-sac near the border of Joshua Tree National Park. The house is very well maintained and the owners obviously take pride in offering a great experience for their visitors. The bedrooms and baths are clean, comfortable and well equipped
The kitchen is open to a sitting area and the barbecue is just outside the kitchen door. Outside we enjoyed use of the pool and spa and looked at the night sky while sitting by the fire ring.
Skip and Monica are great hosts and we highly recommend this property!
Joshua tree national Park right in your backyard!!
We love this place so much!! Lovely spacious bedrooms, clean bathrooms, really nice outdoor space with a great grill and pool/hot tub combo great for stargazing!! very easy access to the park— right in the backyard.
Kitchen was nice and well equipped. Owners left many notes so you could figure everything out and a very informative guidebook to the house and surrounding area. the only small thing that we had wanted was to be able to open the windows— other than that the place was really nice for a great family reunion and a beautiful Thanksgiving I have to say also Skip and Monica weresuper responsive and helpful!! Probably the best VRBO hosts we have ever had!!
We booked this home for our step son’s birthday, and it truly exceeded all expectations. By far one of the best VRBO experiences we’ve ever had. The house was immaculate—super clean and thoughtfully designed for comfort and fun. Perfect for our family getaway!The location is amazing—tucked away at the end of a quiet court, it felt so private and peaceful. The amenities were incredible: a beautiful pool and hot tub, cozy fire pit in the backyard that was perfect for our s’mores night, corn hole, foosball, and more. The big, comfy couch in the living room was perfect for relaxing, and every bed was extremely comfortable as well. We also really appreciated the little sitting areas in each bedroom—such a nice touch.Skip and Monica were the perfect hosts—responsive, friendly, and genuinely accommodating. Thank you both for your wonderful hospitality. We’ll absolutely be back!
