Dog owners agree to the following additional rules: use protective sheets that we will leave out for you to cover any place where your dog may lie (we are not equipped to shampoo furniture or rugs or dry clean bedding after your departure); dogs must be leashed at all times when outside (there are coyotes in the High Desert, which present danger to unleashed dogs) and owners must immediately pick up after their dogs and deposit waste in a plastic bag and place it in the garbage bin; dogs are not to be left unattended in the property at any time. In addition to our additional dog cleaning fee, we will deduct the costs of extra cleaning (including at least $50 for pet fur left on furniture due to lack of use of the provided protective sheets) or repairs necessitated by the presence of your dog.

Shelter Two was so beautiful and pristine! We felt right at home immediately and enjoyed the great amenities. It was also conveniently close to the park, which was our main reason for visiting. The host was super responsive and even left some books and toys for our toddler to enjoy during our stay. I would definitely recommend staying at this beautiful home if you’re coming to visit Joshua Tree National Park!

My husband and I spent 5 days in Shelter 2. This is a stylish and very thoughtfully designed place with lots of great amenities (hot tub, fire pit, washer/dryer etc.). Convenient location -about 5 min drive to the park entrance. Communication with the host was great, they were always very responsive. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a fantastic stay in Shelter 2. It is one of the best places I have stayed!\n\nThe house is modern, clean and comfortably furnished. It is a perfect place to stay near Joshua Tree National Park. The entrance to the park is a short drive away. The views are amazing and the space is extremely private. \n\nWe found the space very comfortable and had every amenity we needed to cook and relax during our stay. At times we chose just to relax and enjoy the view rather then go out and explore.\n\nI have no hesitation recommending this home and would definitely come back again. We rented it along with the nearby Shelter 1 for a family trip and the pair of houses were ideal. They are close enough that moving between them is an easy walk, but situated in a way that each is very private from the other.\n\nThank you for a great New Years Eve break!

For starters, the place is amazing, great layout, lots of floor space, kitchen had everything you need, super clean bedrooms and bathrooms. The Sofa was stained but otherwise comfortable. Outdoor area is well maintained and clean. The cowboy tub was great during the day, and jacuzzi was even better in the evening/night! The stars at night…. All I can say is WOW!!! Gorgeous setting. Directions there were easy with exception to the Boat landing, we missed it the first time. It’s a small wooden boat so keep an eye out! We would definitely stay at Shelter2 again and can’t wait to be back :) thank you!

This is a wonderful house in a gorgeous environment. Sits at the upper end of a hill overlooking the spacious landscape. Next to a couple homes but there is plenty of privacy with subtle yet strategically placed walls and natural diffusion with plant life. Best part for me was the enclosed private patio for laying out. Includes refreshing outdoor shower. Got my vitamin D in the daytime and Wifi was suitable enough for my remote work in the late afternoon. The House is very thoughtfully designed and so comfortable to relax & enjoy the quiet desert ambiance.

We had a awesome stay at Shelters, the house is beautiful and the place was spotless. Especially the bed was the most comfortable bed we had during our trip. Our highlight was the fireplace which made such a great place to hang out at night and watching the stars. We had some special requests and the host respondent always quickly. Overall great stay!

The location and views out every window were gorgeous. They thought of everything when constructing this house, even the outside showers with the cutout viewing areas. The burning fireplace at night was beautiful as well. We had a wonderful Easter weekend there.

The place is just as it looks in photos. Amazing stars, views, sunset. sunrise etc. Really high quality in everything. There was one surprise though. To me the photos look like it is secluded which it is from other houses but the very busy road to entrance of Joshua tree is about 100-200 yards off the front of the house and the traffic seemed constant and loud although we got used it it. Many reviews said traffic didn't bother them which is great. It did bother me but mainly because I had a different expectation. It is worth it though. I would rent this place again....

This must be the best place to stay in Joshua Tree, without actually being inside the park. It's literally a 5 minute drive to the entrance! For as much as we love camping, it's nice to come "home" to a hot shower after a long day of hiking.

If you've ever wondered if a desert oasis is truly within reach and can also surpass expectations, you've come to the right place. Off the grid, yet somehow just up the road from the heart of Joshua Tree's best area of its Main Street. It's the kind of home that you feel more than at home at; you cook in, relax under the stars in a perfectly heated jacuzzi in and find solace in for the night - yet are more than happy to find yourself in the AM, if you're lucky to grab a coveted spot, at the counter at Joshua Tree's JT's Country Kitchen for one of the best breakfasts you'll ever have for a bargain (insider tip: JT's chef is a renowned pastry chef so rally up your carbs for once and believe it or not, JT's used to owned by Marina Uy, a native of Cambodia so do yourself a favor and get a side of the Cambodian hot sauce or try one of her home made signature dishes that still reside on the menu.. I mean, if it's good enough to be loved by Bordain.. shouldn't it be for you too?).

We had such an amazing stay! Joshua Tree National Forest was right down the road, so we were able to go hiking during the day and stargazing at night. Staying in was just as nice, with a beautiful seating area out back to look up at the stars. There was a beautiful view of the mountains to enjoy our morning coffee...just so peaceful. The home was very clean and comfortable and we had everything we needed. Their were shops and restaurants within driving distance, so there was plenty to do! The host was responsive and we had no problems checking in and out. They had a lot of great suggestions for where to eat and shop. All around a great experience. Thank you!

Shelter 2 was a great place to stay for our intended strike mission into Joshua Tree Park. The location is only a few minutes from the park entrance. It was also nice to not be in close proximity to our neighbors. A little distance felt like we has some solitude. The bedrooms had sliding glass doors that gave beautiful, wide views of the desert landscape. The inside is spacious and the decore matched up well with the desert environment. And of course the hot tub was a perfect amenity to have after a long hike. I would definitely come back to this location again.
