Property details

@losthorsehideaways Situated on 5 acres of open land dotted with the city’s eponymous Joshua Trees. Our location gives you the best of both desert worlds: a quiet, serene escape with access to some of the best local attractions. The cabin is a ten minute drive to The Integratron and La Copine and 20 minutes to Pioneertown and Joshua Tree National Park. The Cryptic Cabin is a very special place that is perfect to relax, reflect, connect with the beauty and magic of the high desert. - Hot tub - Firepit (Burn bans must be observed) - Propane BBQ - Zen Garden - Outdoor dining space - Hammocks - Flat Screen/with Roku built in - Heat/AC - Piano and Guitar - Record Player with Bluetooth connection - Coffee - Public Goods products - Joshua Trees on the property Nearby: 8 mins To La Copine 7 mins To Giant Rock Meeting Room 12 mins To Integratron 12 mins To Lander's Brew Co 13 mins To Joshua Tree Village 18 mins To Pappy & Harriet's 18 mins To Pioneertown 18 mins To Red Dog Saloon 21 mins To Joshua Tree National Park You'll have access to the entire house and 2.5 acres of the property during your stay. We have another home on the opposite end of the property, The Hemingway House, in case you have a larger group and would like to book both. Please reach out! Quiet, high desert neighborhood. Our property is down a short dirt road and a long dirt driveway to the back house. Plenty of parking in front and to the side of the house. DESERT LIFE: Part of the desert's magic is the wildlife that lives there. You may see/encounter wild rabbits, coyotes, mice, beetles, snakes, and spiders. This is their natural habitat. We also have Joshua Trees and cactus on the property so please be careful near them and wear shoes while outside. PARKING: Is available in front of or on the west side of the house.

We will do our best to work with you and help with local talent/vendors in the area. QUIET HOURS: Yucca Valley is a serene place. While our neighbors aren't right on top of us, sound travels in the desert. Out of respect for them and the natural habitat, we ask that you please keep the noise level to a minimum after 10PM.

My friends and I felt very welcome and enjoyed the amenities! Stargazing was beautiful from the hot tub and the living room was a perfect place to hang! Would return here in the future:-)

It was an amazing hideaway place. Not far from Joshua tree national park but far enough away from the town to enjoy the stars. The hammocks were great for stargazing and just unplugging from my phone!

A wonderful stay! We had such an amazing time staying here and enjoying this secluded property with views of the stars at night in the hot tub. It had everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. Was very clean and looks just like the pictures. We will definitely come again soon!
