About this property

Desert Writer's Retreat

Spacious one bedroom cabin. Fashionably furnished. A Creative space that feels like stepping back in time and into the future. Full kitchen, Air Conditioning, Swamp Cooler, washer and dryer. Peaceful outside area to star gaze with fire pit. 3 Minutes to the entrance to Joshua Tree Natinonal Park. Great base camp for adventures into the National Park, getaway for couples or the loan wolf looking to channel his/ her inner genius. Vintage record player/ console with auxiliary input. No TV.

The space
This cabin was built in 1948. Its 3 Miles to the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. It’s has finished cement floors, mid century modern/ minimal interior design., full kitchen suitable for minimal cooking but nothing elaborate, outside seating area and fire pit, off street parking.

This is a quirky old cabin, which we love, but if you are looking for a modern place without idiosyncrasies this may not be a great match for you.

This house is on a divided acre with another (Forever 29). The two houses are separated and there is a ton of privacy. There may be some interaction with other guests while parking. If you’re interested in renting both this house and Forever 29 together we can do a package for both. $20 Pet fee per pet. Let us know if you plan to bring any pets.

Guest access
Guests have access to the small house, full kitchen, private washer and dryer, private bathroom, private parking behind the small house, and private outdoor seating area with fire pit.

Other things to note
This is a rural part of the desert with quite a few creatures. You may see snakes, spiders, mice, lizards, etc. Don't panic they generally keep to themselves.

Writer’s Retreat
The property had all that was advertised plus a record player and old records. The shower was hot and the kitchen had what we needed to prepare meals.

Simple and comfy
This was exactly what I was looking for in a place to stay. Good location, clean, and all the essentials. Also, Jack was great with the communication at the beginning of the booking and I’m already thinking about when I can get back.

Amazing stay!
The unit was clean and had one of the more spacious bathrooms that we've stayed in. The check in/out process was simple and hassle-free. The entrance to Joshua Tree was literally a 10-15 minute drive down the street, so it was super convenient for us. Great place for 2 people, and we would definitely come back!
