Summary:
The Curious Crib is a place to ignite all your senses located right in the Heart of Pioneertown.
Designed to stimulate every corner of the brain, the house is a blank canvas which allows the desert to be the star. From the polished concrete floors to the high ceilings and copper-lined roof, the house is stylish, clean, bright and fun with playful art to bring out the child in everyone. It’s contemporary eclecticism with a sophisticated adult twist.
The Space:
Enjoy the peace of the desert on over 1.25 acres with 360 degree views of mountain ranges - the playground is all yours. It’s as private as you can get while still being walking distance to all the desert’s hottest spots. The Curious Crib is THE closest property to the bars, restaurants, and shops in downtown Pioneertown. It’s perfect for couples retreats, families, and the influencer in all of us. Prepare to take your followers on a journey - and then unplug and go on one of your own…

SLEEPING:
The primary suite features a King sized bed, en-suite full bathroom with a soaking tub, projector, Apple TV, and signature swing set.
The guest suite includes an open kitchenette, living/dining space with a Queen sized pull-out sofa couch (includes extra cushion & bedding) and a second full bathroom with a rain shower.
OUTDOORS:
Reconnect with your inner child by jumping the day away on the trampoline and enjoy a rousing game of bocce ball. Then head off to our hidden secret garden escape to relax in the shade or study at the vintage school desk. With a cowboy pool* for cooling off and a hot tub for warming up, you can stimulate your senses and relax any time of year.
Everywhere you turn, you’ll discover something new. Start with the Desert-saurus rex (he rarely bites) and then mosey on over to the 1970 Fiat Spider. Though it was once a very fast sports car, its current fabulous driver prefers the motto of the desert - “If you’re moving dust, you’re going too fast.”
Cozy up by the fire pit while the sun sets behind the mountain range. Watch the space turn inside out, while our outdoor solar lights accent hidden gems around the property. At night, a comfy, stable oversized hammock makes the perfect vantage point to curl up and watch meteor showers while dramatic LED lighting makes the house appear cosmic - perfect for phoning home.
FEATURES:
Let the champers pop and grab your camera for a new profile pic! Swing by the jungle (get it?) to bask in your more primal instincts and serve up some #tarzanrealness. You’ll find stand-out pieces and decor with playful humor throughout the property including a rug with a cat flipping you off, a lost dollhouse in a treasure chest, and a private shed in the corner mooning Pioneertown with its butt cheeks to the sky.
The open kitchenette packs a punch of luxury convenience into a small, sleek space along with thoughtful storage for a clean, modern appeal. An electric cooktop stove, oven, Nutribullet, Nespresso machine, pour over coffee, toaster, stainless steel fridge, BBQ just steps outside of the kitchen door and a sleek pony wall means you’re never far from the action no matter if you’re preparing for a family dinner at our 4-person dining table or a romantic morning with breakfast in bed.
No matter how you do it, the Curious Crib promises an adventure every second… "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.” So, go ahead. Color with ALL the crayons in the box.

Pioneertown is known to have spotty cell service. We have 55mbps download speed, which is great for wifi-calling or zoom calls should you not have reception at the house.

We have a split AC/heater unit in each suite.

No smoking or burning candles. This is a non-smoking home. Any and all smoking should be kept outdoors and at least 15 feet away from any open exterior doors. There will be a $250 charge for anyone not honoring this guideline.

Health & safety is our number one priority. Our in-house cleaning team is trained on CDC and WHO protocols. We take extra measures to ensure the home is sanitized and safe before every arrival. For this reason we aren’t able to offer early check-ins or late check-outs. Thank you for understanding!

Saturday check-ins and check-outs are not allowed. We may grant an exception to this for last-minute reservations.
LACK OF CELLULAR COVERAGE:
You will notice that cell service is hard to come by in our secluded desert setting. Don't worry—consider it an invitation to unplug and fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty around you. We recommend planning ahead to make the most of this serene escape from the digital world.
