OUR DESERT RETREAT
Desert Utopia is bordering the National Park and minutes away from the western entrance of the National Park Visitors Center and downtown Joshua Tree. After a hike in the Park, come and visit Joshua Tree village, a community of artists, musicians, restaurants and small stores.
STEPS AWAY FROM THE NATIONAL PARK
Two distinct desert ecosystems, the Mojave and the Colorado, come together in Joshua Tree National Park. A fascinating variety of plants and animals make their homes in a land sculpted by strong winds and occasional torrents of rain. Dark night skies, a rich cultural history, and surreal geologic features add to the wonder of this vast wilderness in southern California. Come explore for yourself. Joshua Tree village is an artists and musicians’ community: it looks much the same as it did in the 60’s. You will not find fast food joints or large chain stores, but some delicious and authentic little bars, shops, museums and art galleries.
OUR COMMUNITY
Joshua Tree is a small town community of residents, musicians, writers, artists, restaurants, art galleries and local attractions. Most visitors come to visit the park, the local art scene, festivals, local attractions and to enjoy the calm and openness of the desert. Joshua Tree has resisted the attraction of big stores and brand and remains a lovely little desert town.
ART IN THE DESERT
Joshua Tree area is rich in desert art such as Noah Purifoy's Outdoor Desert Art Museum as well as art walks and art galleries.
Guest reviews
Monique was very accommodating and communicative. She genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay in Joshua Tree. Desert Utopia was. It was very tranquil and scenic.
What a wonderful place and a wonderful host. Monique is so accommodating and the little touches around the place show she cares about her guests experience. Hot tub was amazing on a cool winter evening and morning and there is great energy in the house. Monique was a pleasure to talk to and I look forward to staying here again. Also, the bed is a nice Tempur-Pedic type mattress. Firm but cradles your body.
The pictures online do not do this place justice. It sits up in the beautiful hillside with an amazing view of the nighttime sky and view of the town below. The place itself has nice fixtures, bedding and towels. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed for cooking. There are many nice touches such as record player, hot tub, and fire pit. The location is centrally located between town and Joshua Tree NP. Communication with the host was great. She gave detailed map instructions beforehand which made our arrival easy. Check in was also seamless. I will definitely stay here again when I’m the area.
Monique was a great host, very responsive and accommodating. The view outside is beautiful and the house is comfortable and with everything you’d want for a vacation. Highly recommended.
I have been to Joshua Tree several times but feel like I’ve finally found the perfect Airbnb for me. There are more stylish and larger ones for rent but for the price, Monique’s guest Cabin is truly amazing. Although when booking, it was hard for me to tell the distance between Monique’s house and the guesthouse, they two are really on separate properties. I felt right at home, the place is spacious and comfortable. The location couldn’t be better and is tucked far enough off of the highway that it is extremely quiet, private and peaceful. The gem of this place is the hot tub that sits steps away from back door. Monique was extremely easy to communicate with and greeted us on our arrival. I’ll be back for sure.
The Stoney Rose Guest House is the perfect place to stay if you want to explore Joshua Tree! Great amenities, location, and an extremely responsive host. Close to the national park and downtown, but still far enough away to feel like it’s just you and the desert when it comes time to wind down.
I highly recommend this AirBnB and am already planning my next stay! The host is responsive, thoughtful and super accommodating, shipping us forgotten items almost immediately. The space is cozy, clean, and bright with drop dead gorgeous views of the valley. The fact that it’s only a five minute drive away from the park and downtown Joshua Tree makes it even better. This host worked to make sure we had an amazing stay and I am very appreciative of that!!
We had a wonderful stay with at the Stoney Rose. It’s a clean, comfortable and stylish retreat with an outstanding view and(!) a location convenient to Joshua Tree NP. Monique is an excellent host and responsive. Awesome!
Really nice place. Outside as well as inside are breathe a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Also appreciated the old school record player as well as modern access to Netflix. Very responsive host. Highly recommend!
The place is fantastic, tucked away near the Joshua Tree Park, it’s quiet and he beautiful views on the deserts. There is a lot of space both inside and outside, and the apartment has all comforts. Big shower, board games, music, wine. A real gem! Absolutely recommended!
It’s a home away home. Starting from checking in, we felt like we were home thanks to Monique. If you’re considering going to Joshua and if you have a chance to stay here, don’t think twice. Great place, great host! I’ll be back to this place for sure.
