About this property

Mt. View Retreat/Near Joshua Tree & Pappy's

Perched on a hill top with 5 private acres in Yucca Valley, CA, our house is surrounded by ancient oaks, junipers, yuccas and Joshua trees, giving you 365 degree views of the entire high desert and starry sky at night. Its close to Pappy & Harriets, Pioneertown if you’re in the mood for live music, while also an ideal quiet retreat for writers, musicians and the creative mind. A drive to the Joshua Tree National Park is 15 minutes away.

The retreat is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house sleeping 2-6. The Master Bedroom has a NEW King size bed, high thread-count linens, with a stunning view overlooking the valley. The Second bedroom has a NEW Queen bed and enjoys a quiet view of our private outdoor area. Additional guests may sleep on the day bed and comfy sofa in the TV lounge, while we’ve also provided an air mattress with extra linens and blankets located in the master hall closet.

We have a whole cupboard of games for trivia and strategy enthusiasts. And drawers full of crafts. Families with children and kids welcome.

The kitchen is modernized with a stainless refrigerator, dishwasher, small stainless wine fridge, fully stocked with utensils, cutlery, etc, and ample space for meal preparation. Our indoor and outdoor dining tables seat 6 plus.

There is a grand piano next to the TV lounge and antique furniture we’ve carefully chosen throughout which we feel adds a personal and unique touch to our home.

A BBQ grill sits next to the outdoor dining patio for meals under the stars, while the jacuzzi lies not too far away, but unobstructed from clear sunset and night sky views.
There is a washer and dryer for those planning longer stays, central heat and AC keep things comfortable all year round and WiFi throughout.
The TV is a smart TV, (we do not have cable) with a DVD player and (mostly childrens) DVDs for entertainment.

There is also a surveillance camera at the entry of the home for safety.

Guest access
Guests will have access to our 5 beautiful acres of private land, ample paved parking and a covered carport, with access to our entire home.

There is a trampoline on the property. Please use at your own risk. By booking the property, you release the owners of any injury and liability associated with the trampoline use.

Interaction with guests
Your privacy is very important to us. We visit the retreat as often as we can and ensure its well maintained, however in general we wont be able to greet you in person when you arrive.
The house has 24hour access with a keyless entry, though we ask you call the day of arrival, at least two hours in advance, or before 10pm, with an arrival time so that we may turn off the security alarm before you arrive.
Please feel free to email or call us with any questions you might have or if you’d like recommendations, we’d love to share them! Our Yucca Valley contact Meg is available if you need immediate help. We do our best to respond the very same day and hope you enjoy staying in our mountain retreat as much as we do.

Wonderful weekend get away
The house is uniquely perched on top of a hill, providing specular mountain views. The house and particularly the kitchen was well equipped. The French country interior was inviting and furniture was comfy.

Beautiful home!
This is a wonderful place to stay when visiting Joshua Tree! The hot tub helped us recover from our hikes and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We appreciated the games and the well appointed kitchen too. Our family highly recommends this property and hopes to return someday.

Great Views
Perfect location for the views. The house sits on a hill and has great views from all four sides of the property. We liked that the back yard had three separate sitting areas depending on how much sun you wanted, from none to full. It was very clean and supplied with everything we needed. Very nice hot tub.

About the host

Hosted by Laurie Steichen

Host profile image
Fun loving couple who met in New Orleans Jazz Festival. Interior designer and musician melded this getaway from Los Angeles. We love to entertain, cook, and enjoy the outdoors with our daughter and two vocal dachshunds. The change of seasons, art and music that comes with the high desert lifestyle is what draws us most to our home away from home!

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet serenity and beauty of the desert and being close to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree is a huge bonus. The untouched, native pristine 5 private acres of desert landscape surrounding the house and its exclusive feel drew us to the property initially. Additionally, the warmth of the home gave us a special feeling we knew we wanted to call our own to entertain in with friends and family.

What makes this property unique

The hilltop home offers special, stunning views to surrounding mountains and high desert, with the peace and tranquility of a camping trip under the stars. A woodburning fireplace is charming in the entry room, while the skylights in the kitchen and guest bath, add a bright uniqueness to the space we absolutely love. The covered outdoor living and dining areas that share patio space with the jacuzzi, make it so easy unwind from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
