Originally built in the 1940's and freshly restored to it's former glory, the Owl's Nest Cabin is a slice of Pioneertown history. In addition to the Cabin we offer the "Little Hoot" vintage trailer. The Little Hoot is a 1957 Aljo that has been completely restored. The trailer option functions as an extra bedroom and relax space for extra guests. The trailer rents for an additional $70 per night.
Guests in the trailer will use the bathroom in the cabin, just steps away.
We are located in Water Canyon just 1.8 miles from famous Pappy and Harriets and Pioneertown's scenic Mane St. The Owl's Nest Cabin offers majestic views of the Sawtooth Mountains and is just a short drive to the nearest Joshua Tree Park entrance (Black Rock). Also nearby, The Pioneertown Mountain Preserve offers plenty of hiking trails.

This cabin is a world away from the hustle bustle of the city. Completely surrounded by nature, it's the perfect place to get away. Enjoy listening to the birds sing, watching the coyote's wander in the wash, and breathing in the fresh desert sage air.
We do not offer a TV. We do have internet and a bluetooth radio. The main source of heat in the cabin is a pellet stove. There is also a wall mounted electric heater in the back room. If you decide to add the trailer option during the cold months be assured it is as cozy as can be, thanks to a small but powerful electric heater. It's also quite cozy inside the cabin, however a warm sweater and warm socks are still recommended during the coldest winter months. The pellet stove in the cabin features simple push button operation and has a thermostat. It can run for about 14 hours before more pellets must be added to the hopper. We provide the pellets. In the warmer months the cabin is cooled by an evaporative cooling unit (swamp cooler) that is mounted on the roof. It forces a large amount of air through the cabin and can only work if a window or two in the front room are left about halfway open. If all the windows and doors are closed the evaporative cooling unit will not have the desired effect.
There are several choices available for dining and shopping a short drive from the cabin . Old Town Yucca is about one mile down the road. There you can find a handful of great antique shops, vintage clothing stores, restaurants, as well as a coffee shop and some mom and pop style restaurants. Pioneertown is 2 miles up the road and the home of the famous Pappy and Harriet's Bar and Restaurant. There you can experience some unforgettable Santa Maria BBQ and world calss live entertainment. Frontier Coffeehouse is about a mile down the road in the center of Old Town Yucca. They dish out some of the best BLT's and sophisticated egg sandwiches your palette could ever yearn for, while serving the finest local Joshua Tree Coffee. They have a beer and wine license and a couple nights a week offer live music.
If you'd like to venture a little bit further take a short ride down Hwy 62 to the Joshua Tree Saloon. There you'll get a taste of more local talent and yummy bar fare. The End Clothing Shop is an eclectic blend of chic housewares, jewelry and hand picked second hand fashion. The Hoof and Horn, a western style fashion boutique with a flare. Pioneertown Crossing has a great selection of antiques! Art FX and Furnishings has an amazing selection of local art and gifts. This place is full of desert gems.
