Owned by Matt and Jeff:
Having a place of our own in Joshua Tree has been a dream of ours for years.
Our first time here was while passing through during a road trip from Denver to Palm Springs in 2019. We were mesmerized by the jagged landscapes and goofy-looking trees. A few months later, we made a return trip but didn’t go all the way to Palm Springs and spent a week in Joshua Tree falling in love with the town. After a few road trips a year from Denver, we decided to move to Southern California in the summer 2021, with hopes of finding our own desert-boho-chic-chill place with great views and delicious sunsets in Joshua Tree. In the fall of 2021 we found this cabin – outdated and in need of some serious TLC – and spent the next six months on renovations to turn it into what you see now.
Casa de Alta Loma is literally our dream come true! It’s not just a short-term rental property for us, it’s our get-away escape from the real world.

beautiful, well maintained property. close to all the Joshua Tree village action, and national park access. Lots of privacy, and the perfect size for a couple’s weekend getaway. Great hammock for stargazing, nice hot tub, and very easy access/check-in.
Beautuful home with stunning panoramic views of Joshua Tree mountains, perfectly decorated and amazing landscaping and amenties. The home is close to town and on the way to the national park. Will book again!

About the host
Hosted by Jeff
Hi! I'm Jenn and I help manage the Casa de Alta Loma on behalf of Jeff and Matt.
I grew up in New York and now live in Joshua Tree! Our family traveled the country for a year in our camper before falling in love with desert life and deciding to make JT our home.
We hosted at our home in Kingston NY while we traveled and I discovered my love of hosting.
I'm excited to host guests in the desert and to share my love of this area with others. I host guests at my own property and I also help other hosts with their properties. I especially enjoy connecting visitors with local businesses and experiences that will make their stay special while supporting the local community.
I’m also an herbalist and make herbal tinctures, plant medicine and soap in my desert studio.
Why they chose this property
We're very close to the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park and we're very central to Joshua Tree Village and the surrounding areas.
What makes this property unique
Casa de Alta Loma sits on the edge of the village of Joshua Tree, offering wide-open views toward Joshua Tree National Park and surrounding mountain vistas. The home feels peaceful and removed, yet remains less than 10 minutes from the park entrance and just minutes from the shops, cafés, and galleries of downtown Joshua Tree—an ideal base for both exploring and slowing down.
