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. $50 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.
