About

Welcome to the Roadrunner Ranch! Ideally located on a private lot with mature Joshua trees and native cacti, just 5 minutes from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park and town. Spot roadrunners and jackrabbits from the outdoor cowboy tub and shaded patio, get cozy under a blanket on our built-in couch watching movies on the big screen, or soak up the starry night sky from the hot tub!

Good to know

Sleeps 7 comfortably, up to 9 guests Bedroom 1: King bed Bedroom 2: Bunk bed (Twin XL over Queen) Bedroom 3: Queen bed Additional guests 8-9: Fold-out memory foam twin mattresses available ($25/person/night) Pack-n-play available for babies. The Perfect Location Roadrunner Ranch sits in Joshua Tree Highlands—the area's most coveted neighborhood. You're 4 minutes from downtown Joshua Tree in one direction, 4 minutes to the park's west entrance in the other. The property is directly off paved Quail Springs Road, while most rentals in the area require long drives down rough dirt roads. Location is consistently our guests' favorite feature—and for good reason. Key Amenities: ★ Hot tub + stock tank soaking tub (April-October) ★ Outdoor movie theater with projector ★ Built-in L-shaped couch with fire pit ★ Covered patio dining for 8 ★ BBQ area with Weber grill ★ Open-concept kitchen with stainless appliances ★ 2 full bathrooms (primary ensuite with rain shower) ★ Front porch with sunrise views ★ Hammocks ★ Horseshoe pit ★ Built-in desks in 2 bedrooms ★ TVs with Roku in living room and bunk bedroom ★ String lights throughout ★ EV charging (Level 2 J1772) Layout & Living Spaces The open-concept layout flows seamlessly from living room to dining to kitchen—ideal for gathering. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping desert views, while a striking local stone fireplace (decorative) anchors the living area. The fully-equipped kitchen features stainless appliances and ample prep space. All beds feature premium mattresses and hotel-quality cotton linens. The bunk bedroom includes a TV with Roku and closet storage for the fold-out floor mattresses. Outdoor Oasis The outdoor crown jewel: grab blankets from inside the sliding door and enjoy movies on the big screen from the built-in fire pit couch. Set up the portable projector (2-3 hour battery, extension cord available) and let separate string light controls set the perfect mood. When finished, return the projector to its spot inside. Adjacent to the fire pit lounge, unwind on the open-air deck with a hot tub and stock tank soaking tub (filled April-October). Start mornings on the front porch with coffee and sunrise views over the desert. The covered back patio offers dining for 8 with a Weber BBQ—perfect for meals with mountain vistas. Explore the property's stunning joshua trees, cacti and other flora, lounge in the hammocks by the large willow, or challenge friends to horseshoes by the mature joshua trees. The Cabin A separate 2-person cabin sits 150 feet from the main house with its own driveway and complete privacy—typically rented independently, but available to add to your reservation. If occupied by other guests, you likely won't see or hear them.

This place is beautiful. We could tell they put a lot of thought into the home, complete with slippers for outside and a basket of towels for the outdoor tubs. The home is quite private and has stunning views. Joshua Tree is also extremely close!

This place leaves nothing to be desired. My partner and I came here for a quick Joshua tree getaway and were blown away by this house. The house is very well equipped with a kitchen that has everything you could possibly need, the outdoor space is so comfortable even in chilly February and inside is also beautifully crafted. We enjoyed our stay so very much. The house is very close to the west park entrance and also close to restaurants and shops in Joshua tree. We are so lucky we found the place. Forgot to mention the host Colin is outstanding, incredibly responsive and accommodating. Perfect getaway for us to relax and enjoy nature.

My wife and i have stayed in many Airbnbs and this one is definitely on the top. From beginning to end it was a pleasure to stay. Colins place was clean, cozy and had so many amenities. There was local coffee with a grinder and free snacks in a kitchen that has everything you need to cook a great meal and then eat it on the outside dining table. We soaked in the jacuzzi morning noon and night, listening to the birds and the coyotes. We loved how close it was to the park about 2 miles which was nice after a day hiking and driving around Joshua Tree. Overall definitely 5 stars and we wish every air bnb was up to these standards.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Colin’s place! The house is charming, very clean, and extremely comfortable—perfectly suited for a family. The backyard has many lovely corners, giving everyone a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful property. Colin was very attentive and quick to answer all of our questions. We would love to come back!

Find us

One mile from the main park entrance and two miles to the town of Joshua Tree, this cabin is easy to find and makes navigating the area a breeze. I would not recommend renting my home if you do not have a car although you can get get an Uber/Lyft from Yucca Valley or Joshua Tree if needed.
