About this property
🌵The Jensen- Peaceful home with the most INCREDIBLE views🌵
2 Miles from the Park Entrance!
The Jensen Cabin is a newly renovated homestead cabin perched on a Hill in Joshua Tree's most desirable neighborhood. The house is cozy, peaceful and a great retreat for couples, new families, solo adventurers, artists, writers, photographers, and business travelers. Enjoy the views while sipping your morning coffee or sharing a glass of wine under the stars stargazing - we invite you to book The Jensen to be the setting for your next memorable adventure!
We love hosting guests from all over the world, near and far. Our hope is you'll be able to gather friends & family, get cozy in our home and enjoy the beautiful Mojave Desert and the views of Joshua Tree National Park right from our front porch.
The Jensen is a 2 bedroom 2 half bath 750 sq ft property—great for friends, couples or a small family. The home has one king bed and the second bedroom has one queen bed. The bathroom is divided into two separate areas (a bathing room, equipped with shower and tub and a second room with the toilet and hard sink) - created in such a way that you'll only find in the desert.
We invite you and your guests will check-in, kickback, unplug and start slowing down to enjoy desert life. We look forward to sharing the magic of the desert with you soon!
• OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Professionally managed by Hi-Desert Dwellings
• RENTAL AGREEMENT
There will be a rental agreement sent out that will need a signature to complete the reservation
• A/C
The Jensen is cooled by mini splits through out the house and they are powerful air conditioners and heaters that will help keep the temperature enjoyable for your stay.
• BATHROOM
Please note that the bathroom is listed as "2 half baths" but it is really 1 full bathroom that is separate in two different bathrooms. The first bathroom is the shower and tub - which is located in the master bedroom. The second bathroom has the toilet and the sink. Because of this layout it means that the whole house will need to access the master bedroom to use the shower and the whole house will access the hall bathroom that has the toilet and sink.
• 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.
• PETS
We loves pets but only dogs are allowed. There is a 2 dog max and a one time $35 pet fee per dog.
• WIFI
Desert WIFI can be a little spotty and it may go in and out at times. Cell service works great and there hasn't been any issues with guests and having service. Please use this time to disconnect, relax and enjoy your time in the desert.
• FIRE
Due to the location and a current fire ban there is a strict no outside fire policy. If it is discovered that you have started an outside fire, using fireworks or other open fire means your rental agreement will be terminated and you will be asked to leave.
• GUESTS
You are not permitted to have any guests on the property beyond those included in your rental agreement unless you request and receive permission from us. That includes day guests and over night guests.
• 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.
By renting this property, guest acknowledges that they have read, understand and accept the terms listed above, including the guest policy.
