About this property

Our cute two bedroom cottage is just 6 blocks from downtown Joshua Tree!

Our home has two bedrooms - one with a pillow top queen bed and the other has two single beds, accommodating up to 4 guests total.

Pamper yourselves with our 100% cotton linens, down duvets, thick towels and a tub/shower combo with porcelain tile surround to soak in after a hike in the park.

With hardwood flooring throughout, our living room has a cushy down sofa, additional seating w/ vintage designer side chairs and a 4K 43" Web TV that you may use our high speed WiFi for streaming video, Netflix or other services during your stay in Joshua Tree, in addition to local TV reception. The sound bar and subwoofer has Bluetooth connection so you may play your own music from your device.

You'll love our cool retreat that has an evaporative cooler instead of AC -- cools the fresh outside air with moist cool air inside! For more info, Google EVAPORATIVE COOLERS / SWAMP COOLERS. We have ceiling fans in each room, too.

In the winter months, stay warm and cozy using the natural gas wall heater that warms the house and electric space heaters in each bedroom, if needed. Out back, we have a FIRE PIT to enjoy on the cooler nights.

A corrugated metal fence in the backyard adds privacy during cook-outs on our propane gas grill. Outdoor seating for star gazing and lounging and a covered paved patio.



Guest access
Our full kitchen will make your stay comfy if you want to enjoy meals in. Full size top-freezer fridge, a gas range, microwave, and a dishwasher for easy clean up. We've stocked the cabinets with all the dishes, glassware and cookware you will need, utensils and pantry basics for your use, too.

If you need to clean up after a long day in the park, we offer our washer and dryer for your use . We do have an iron and ironing board if you really want to spiff up before walking down to the Joshua Tree Saloon to enjoy a burger and catch some live music!

Interaction with Guests

You'll have the house to yourselves for privacy and enjoyment, but our manager is just blocks away to help with anything you may need.

You will love our home's close access to everything in town - art, music, restaurants, and the Farmer's Market on Saturday mornings. The Visitor's Center for the park is just blocks to the west and it's a quick 10 minute drive to the National Park's West entrance.

We're located just across from the exclusive Mojave Sands Motel and down the street from the gorgeous Coyote Hole, our stunning hiking area in south Joshua Tree.

If you need ride, we have a local bus within a block, we have cab service available and gas stations in town to fill up for your scenic drives through the desert landscape. UBER and LYFT now available in the area, too.

Great stay!
We really enjoyed our stay! The place is very comfortable and conveniently located! Walking distance to Joshua Tree town and a few min drive to the west park entrance. We went in the winter when it was very cold and we’re very comfortable, there was good heating. The outdoor space is great, only a bummer we couldn’t use the fire pit due to county rules. Stephen was also great at communicating with us. We had a great stay and definitely recommend this place!

Awesome location!
We had such a great time at the house! Not only was it a prime location, but the house was super cozy and had the most comfortable bed and pillows! Anything we needed was a call/text away! Highly recommend this property if you need a couple nights on the town or going to the Park! We are definitely going back!

Why they chose this property

We discovered Joshua Tree a few years ago while visiting family.

We fell in love with the open sky, cool desert nights, colorful people, Great food, and hikes in the JT national park.

We decided we had to have a second home in Joshua tree.

We love it so much and look forward to sharing it with you.
