Summary:

The Lodge sits right against the border of Joshua Tree National Park, with Black Rock Canyon trailheads in walking reach. Designed by Barrie Livingstone, it is big and modern with a lodge's heart: giant windows on fields of Joshua trees, a two-story stone fireplace, two living rooms. Hike out early, swim laps in the 10-person swim-style hot tub, take the seasonal cowboy tub (closed November through March), then gather at the fire pit. Five bedrooms. The park starts across the street.

-The Space-

The Lodge at Blackrock is a large, modern lodge-style home designed by interior designer Barrie Livingstone, directly across the street from Joshua Tree National Park near the Black Rock entrance. Giant windows frame mountains and fields of Joshua trees, and two living rooms give the group room to spread out. Outside, a swim-style hot tub, a cowboy tub, a fire pit and outdoor games fill the yard. A king primary suite, three queen rooms upstairs and a downstairs room with a twin and trundle give five bedrooms for up to ten, which suits families and groups looking for a quiet base for the park. After the hike, build a fire in the two-story stone fireplace and stay up talking.
