LOCAL ADD-ON EXPERIENCES

From sound baths and in-home massages to stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Southern California, we've handpicked local vendors to match whatever mood you're in. Book a personal chef for a lazy night in, saddle up for a horseback ride, or take a guided hike through the National Park or other local trails. However you want to spend your time here, relaxing or adventuring, the desert (and our favorite locals) has you covered. Once your reservation is confirmed, let us know you are interested and we will connect you!



Guest Access:

The property and house is yours to roam and relax.



Getting Around:

We recommend traveling by car to explore Joshua Tree for maximum flexibility, as ride sharing services are unreliable. If you prefer not to drive, the local taxi service Lucky 777 is a dependable option. Our property offers free parking for up to four vehicles to ensure your car is kept secure during your stay.



Other Things to Note:

3:00PM Check-In: We'd love for you to check in before 8pm so you have plenty of daylight to settle in and get comfortable before dark.



Mini Splits: Each room is equipped with its own mini-split unit, allowing guests to individually control heating and cooling for personalized comfort.



Pets Allowed: We welcome dogs for a fee of $60 per dog, with a maximum of 2 dogs per stay. Please note that no other pets are permitted at this property.



Dirt Roads: There is ~1 mile of dirt roads leading to the property, please drive carefully.



Guest Policy: We only allow the number of guests listed as the maximum occupancy for this property, so any additional day guests must be requested and approved in advance. No extra overnight guests are permitted beyond those included in your reservation.



Watch your Step: This desert land holds onto bits of its past, so you may spot the occasional rusty object or piece of glass in the yard, please wear shoes anytime you're outside. You'll also be sharing the landscape with local snakes and scorpions. They want nothing to do with you, so if you see one, just back away calmly and quietly



Wood Burning Fires: We do not permit wood-burning fires anywhere on the property at any time, including in fire pits or fireplaces, due to the high risk of wildfire in our area. This policy is strictly enforced for the safety of our guests, neighbors, and the surrounding landscape,.



Desert Critters: Please keep doors closed while entering and exiting, curious critters will let themselves in given the chance. Desert wildlife is part of what makes this area special, expect sightings of jackrabbits, tortoises, roadrunners, quail, and lizards. You may also spot coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, or occasionally a bobcat or mountain lion. Most just want their space, so it's best to give them yours.



Camera/ Decibel Monitor: This property has forward-facing exterior security cameras, but there are no cameras anywhere inside the home. We also use noise decibel monitors indoors to help avoid disturbing neighbors. These only measure sound levels and never record audio.



Interaction with Guests:

We like to respect our guest’s privacy, so you won’t see too much of us - unless you need us to come by. We will be available to answer any questions you may have and to help make your stay more enjoyable.

Loved the glass door in the bedroom facing the sunrise. The kitchen was well stocked and the jetted tub was relaxing. The aesthetic is beautiful. Very glad I stayed here.

If you want to get out of the city and enjoy some peace and quiet, this place is for you. Super quiet, clean, lots of aesthetics, and lots of seating and settings to enjoy. The views were amazing with the desert wash in the back and mountains in the front. Place was clean, up to date on technology, and checking in, rules, and checking out was made simple and a breeze.

Sweet and Cozy

We loved the coziness and considerate amenities throughout the home. More than enough towels for the stay, all the kitchenette essentials, complete set of Friends DVD, bug zapper. The AC worked really well and it was very thoughtful for the place to be already AC-ed when we arrived in this 100deg weather. Thank you for the cute and cozy stay!

This trip was the first experience I’ve had of a big gap between what I expected and what I found when I arrived: the enclosed patio looks lovely in the photos, but it was overrun with weeds, and the furniture looked the worse for wear. There’s only one light source in the main living room area—a ceiling fan with three bulbs, only one of which worked. The AC is provided by wall-mounted units. Luckily the weather was pretty mild, but when I tried the unit in the larger bedroom all I got was warm air, and the remote didn’t seem to be working. The photographs of the location are very deceptive, it’s nowhere near as isolated as it appears (it’s quite close to a busy two-lane road). For me the biggest letdown was the bathroom. The jets on the jacuzzi bath had clearly not been cleaned in a while, and even after I tried to get them clean myself, when I filled the tub and turned it on there was still a bunch of fine debris everywhere, rendering it pretty unusable. I also went to Target and replaced the discolored, molded shower curtain liner myself. I decided to go ahead and stay at the property because this was a vacation from a very stressful job, and I didn’t want to bother with the hassle of dealing with the property manager or Vrbo—the best option would’ve been to move and I simply didn’t have the energy. The property is fine place to stay if you’re planning on doing a lot of other things, but if you’re planning to stay in for long stretches you might want to keep looking.
I forgot to photograph the tub before I cleaned it but the jets all had this same orange-ish color.

Thank you for sharing this feedback, and we're sorry the property didn't live up to the photos or what you were hoping for on a much needed vacation. The issues you raised with the patio, lighting, AC unit, and jacuzzi jets are being addressed with the owner right away, along with the shower curtain liner, and we appreciate you flagging these even though you chose not to reach out during your stay. We also want you to know our team is always available by phone or email if something like this comes up again, we'd rather help in the moment than have you spend your vacation working around it. We appreciate you taking the time to share this, and we hope you'll reach out directly next time so we can make it right during your stay.
