About

Cozy homesteader cabin—perfect for couples seeking a romantic desert retreat. 4 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park's west entrance and town. Newly upgraded with a two-person hot tub, fire pit, and covered pergola with Weber BBQ for intimate starlit dinners. Refreshed interior too. I'm awaiting more professional photos to show off the space.

You're 4 minutes from downtown Joshua Tree in one direction, 4 minutes to the park's west entrance in the other.

Accessibility

Neighborhood

The home is in the quiet Joshua Tree Highlands, the most beautiful and convenient area in Joshua Tree. You'll be only 5 minutes from the national park entrance in one direction and 5 minutes from the town in the other direction. The town features many exceptional local shops and restaurants waiting to be explored, and the national park offers endless opportunities for adventure and exploration. The home is one of the few in the area on a paved road for easy access, yet has plenty of privacy and is surrounded by stunning scenery.

Guest Access

The property is behind a tall steel rust colored wall that provides privacy from the road. The accessible area for guests is about half an acre. The main areas guests can access are the cabin, porch, patio, hot tub, fire pit and natural landscape around the cabin. There is a house on the other side of the property, which is available for booking separately or together with the cabin. The cabin and house have separate gates/driveways and maintain privacy from one another. Unless the house and cabin are booked together, access to the other part of the property near the house is not allowed (the areas are clearly marked).

This air bnb was perfect! It was easy to find, only a few minutes from the park, was clean, comfy bed, honestly everything you could need. It felt very private too which is nice, there was a hot tub and fire pit which I wish we had more time to utilize! We would absolutely stay here again if we come back to Joshua tree. Thanks Colin!

Collin was an excellent host. Was really great with communication and the place was lovely with little details like a Chemex pour-over and local beans, bathrobes, and house slippers that made all the difference!

Our stay at was absolutely wonderful! The location and views are beautiful, and everything felt so thoughtfully prepared. You can really tell the owner did not cut corners — it honestly felt like we were staying in a 5-star hotel. The bed was extremely comfortable, and all the linens, towels, and robes were high quality and very pleasant to use. Everything was designed with so much attention to detail that nothing disappointed us at all. We had such a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The jacuzzi was also amazing — such a great bonus! Overall, we have absolutely no complaints. It’s a truly beautiful place, and we had a perfect stay. Highly recommended! 😊

Colin was a great host. Very responsive to last minute questions, gave local recommendations, and described the place exactly as it was. The hot tub out back was clean and already heated by the time we got there, which was great. The location is very close to restaurants and the park without being too noisy. You will hear some cars passing by periodically, but I still had a very peaceful time in the hot tub and hammock. I recommend!

We really enjoyed or stay. The property is so beautiful and access to the park couldn't be easier. Also so close to town so no problem to grab a bite or a drink! This little cabin has everything you need for a romantic getaway and nice to relax in peace after a day of climbing. Love this spot! Colin is great at communicating and very helpful so we will visit again. Don't hesitate to enjoy a stay here if it's available!

Find us

One mile from the main park entrance and two miles to the town of Joshua Tree, this cabin is easy to find and makes navigating the area a breeze. I would not recommend renting my home if you do not have a car although you can get get an Uber/Lyft from Yucca Valley or Joshua Tree if needed.
