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.
