Good to know

Originally built in 1963, the house was recently redesigned by architect Duane Smith of Hundred Mile House in Palm Springs to incorporate the original 60's vibe with modern amenities. The home is set on 2.5 acres providing privacy and solitude and our own boulder mini-mountain sits just off the front porch. Natural light floods the main living areas but blackout curtains are provided in bedrooms for those mornings you wish to sleep in! Special unique features include the clawfoot tub which rests directly under a skylight to have a relaxing evening soak under the stars. Front and rear patios give a variety of options to enjoy the amazing mountain views with a nice glass of wine or a hot cup of coffee/tea.

An absolute gem of a home located minutes away from the front gates a Joshua tree. It is rare to find an air bnb where you immediately feel “at home” upon walking inside. The design of this home has so much character and charm with an obvious attention to detail. The hosts are very accommodating and wanted us to have the best experience possible. We are fairly local and are already planning our trip back.

This home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described. Amazing views off the front porch of the surrounding mountains. The location was ideal—super close to the west gate of Joshua Tree park and also close to restaurants and shops in town, but still quiet and peaceful. The host was incredibly responsive and friendly, and provided excellent local recommendations. The beds were super comfortable, Wifi was great speed for a desert home, a fully stocked kitchen, and enclosed outdoor space felt very private and serene. It had two of the biggest cacti I’ve ever seen up close! We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and hassle-free experience!
