Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:
“Beautiful place with everything you need. We spent an amazing weekend there and really enjoyed every moment of it!” - Marthe

☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆
From the moment you arrive on this property situated on 5 acres of open land dotted with the city’s eponymous Joshua Trees, you’ll feel your troubles melt away. Things only get better when you step through the doors to see where you’ll be sleeping.
All three spacious bedrooms are furnished with luxurious Casper original hybrid mattresses, fresh linens, and thick black-out curtains to guarantee a great night’s sleep.
The primary bedroom has an impressive four-poster California king bed, a reading chair, and a private ensuite bathroom. Large windows frame the bed, letting the desert sunshine flood in to brighten up the space.
The second and third bedrooms each feature a queen-sized bed, a ceiling fan, and large windows that let you enjoy the desert scenery from the comfort of your room.
☆☆ BATHROOMS ☆☆
This beautiful home has two full bathrooms with thoughtful decor and soothing houseplants. They are each stocked with fresh towels and Public Goods toiletries for your convenience.
The master ensuite bathroom features a spacious double vanity, a walk-in shower, and a separate soaking tub. The second bathroom has a shower/tub combo.
☆☆ KITCHEN ☆☆
The chef of your group is sure to appreciate the modern kitchen. The spacious countertops are perfect for preparing and serving, or for keeping the cook company at the two counter stools. You’ll find all the basic cookware and utensils necessary for cooking tasty meals for the whole group. Lovely touches like the reclaimed oak shelving give the space a rustic feel.
Cozy up in the corner breakfast nook, enjoy meals at the long dining table, or head out to the deck and eat at the outdoor dining table while enjoying the desert views and fresh air. If you prefer dining out, you’re just a short drive from local restaurants like Pappy + Harriet’s.
In the mornings, use the Chemex or coffee machine to brew yourself a cup of coffee using the complimentary Joshua Tree coffee beans provided and head out to sip it while swaying in a hammock.
☆☆ LOUNGE ☆☆
The cozy living room is the perfect place to relax after a busy day of hiking at Joshua Tree National Park. Kick back on one of the sofas as you listen to a record on the vintage vinyl player, warm up in front of the wood-burning fireplace, or stream your favorite shows on the Smart TV. Help yourself to a blanket from our blanket ladder during cooler weather.
☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆
No peaceful desert retreat is complete without an amazing outdoor area. The home’s outside space offers up superb place to lounge in the pool by day and stargazing opportunities by night. Enjoy being far from the light pollution of the city by admiring the starry sky from the comfort of the hot tub and hammocks.
A large gas fire pit is an ideal place for your whole group to gather in the evening. During the day, you can enjoy the shaded outdoor dining and grilling area with views of the desert vegetation.
