About the host
Hosted by Dean Arvidson
My name is Dean Arvidson and I used to live in that 'small town' to the west of Yucca Valley (aka Los Angeles). 😉 I now live full time in the high desert where I enjoy the hiking, stargazing and I most enjoy having guests stay at the Desert Star Home where they too can experience the peace and beauty of the high desert.
Why they chose this property
The Desert Star Home is in a residential neighborhood a few miles north of the center of Yucca Valley. The nearest neighbors are some distance away so it is quiet and peaceful at the DSH. Also, the DSH property is adjacent to Preserve land where there are beautiful hiking trails. 😊
What makes this property unique
There are beautiful views in all directions from the Desert Star Home. There is a gazebo on the hill above the property (it's a 1 minute walk from the house) where one can enjoy the scenery amidst the peace and quiet of the area. The Wildlands Conservancy owns the property to the north of the DSH, and has made a nature preserve out of it. The preserve is open to the public for hiking and walking, and there are some very scenic trails on the preserve land that can be accessed directly from the DSH. 😊
