The spacious home was lovingly remodeled to create a comfortable and modern
large 4 bedroom/2 bath house. Inside each of the four bedrooms is a queen
mattress with comfortable sleeping arrangements for 8, a full kitchen and open
living and dining area and large sliding doors to the backyard with large
outdoor dining table.
The Rockhopper is a place for friends and family to have a home base within
walking distance to restaurants, local shopping and a quick, 10 minute drive
to the National Park entrance. We welcome you to come and relax and start
making Joshua Tree memories at The Rockhopper!
• OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Professionally managed by Property Manager
• RENTAL AGREEMENT
There will be a rental agreement sent out that will need a signature to
complete the reservation
• A/C and HEATING
The house has central heating and cooling to help keep guests comfortable all
yearlong.
• NOISE
There is a strict noise ordinance in the area. No loud outside noise is
permitted after 9pm
• STAR GAZING
For viewing of the night sky, it is best to keep all lighting to a minimum.
This includes lighting inside the house that can bleed out the night sky.
Moonless nights are of course the best.
• TRASH
When checking out please kindly tie up your trash and dispose of it in one of
the trash cans outside.
• CRITTERS
There are bugs, bats and other desert critters that frequent the outside area
of the property. They’re fun to watch, and will leave you alone but we just
want to be sure everyone is aware that since it’s a remote desert property,
they are occasionally present.
• SEPTIC
The house is on a septic system, please do not flush anything other than
toilet paper.
• GUEST ACCESS
You will be sent a number code for the door code upon booking. Your code will
be active ONLY during the time of your stay.
• FIRE
Due to the location and a current fire ban there is a strict no open flames
fire policy BUT the propane fire pit located outside if allowed.
If it is discovered that you have started an outside fire, in a fire pit,
using fireworks or other open fire (propane excluded when used IN the propane
firepit and propane grill provided) means your rental agreement will be
terminated and there is a $200 fine.
• PARKING
Please only park in the driveway and on the street - do not park in the empty
lot next door. 4 CARS MAX.
• IDENTITY VERIFICATION
You will receive a text or email from Guest Ranger that will ask you to verify
your identity and submit a picture of a government issued ID and a selfie.
This information will be used to verify that the booking guest matches the
credit card used and to help reduce any issues with identity theft. This
process is mandatory to complete the booking. The data is protected in a hash-
encrypted vault following data security standards including GDPR. Data-input
in the vault is encrypted in a two-way function where information is scrambled
using an encryption key and unscrambled later using a decryption key. On top
of that, we use hashing to add an extra layer of security using a one-way
function where a unique message digest is generated from an input file or a
string of text. No keys are used.
