About the host
Hosted by Oliver
Hi, my name is Oliver and I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I absolutely love traveling, but it wasn't until I visited Joshua Tree at a recent age that I knew there was something different... The energy, people and peacefulness. Since then, I've been splitting my time between LA and the desert. I purchased and renovated the perfect high desert home at the end of 2023 and did most of the work myself. Now looking to share it with you as well!
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because is located in a quiet residential area just minutes off the main highway and from the TRENDY shops of downtown Yucca Valley, which is considered the gateway to Joshua Tree. Only 10 min away from Pappy & Harriet's in Pioneertown and 10 min from the Joshua Tree Vistor Center, this property is close to everything you need. Also the local trendy cafes, restaurant and bars, which are also walking distance.
What makes this property unique
Most homes in the high desert are designed with neutral tones (Boho), which I love, but I also color and vintage! Hence, the gatsby/70's decor. Also, hospitality was always the goal from providing organic toiletries and coffee pods to comfortable beds. I want your stay to be memorable.
