About this house rental
Perched on a hill top with 5 private acres in Yucca Valley, CA, our house is surrounded by ancient oaks, junipers, yuccas and Joshua trees, giving you 365 degree views of the entire high desert and starry sky at night. Its close to Pappy & Harriets, Pioneertown if you’re in the mood for live music, while also an ideal quiet retreat for writers, musicians and the creative mind. A drive to the Joshua Tree National Park is 15 minutes away.
The retreat is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house sleeping 2-6. The Master Bedroom has a NEW King size bed, high thread-count linens, with a stunning view overlooking the valley. The Second bedroom has a NEW Queen bed and enjoys a quiet view of our private outdoor area. Additional guests may sleep on the day bed and comfy sofa in the TV lounge, while we’ve also provided an air mattress with extra linens and blankets located in the master hall closet.
We have a whole cupboard of games for trivia and strategy enthusiasts. And drawers full of crafts. Families with children and kids welcome.
The kitchen is modernized with a stainless refrigerator, dishwasher, small stainless wine fridge, fully stocked with utensils, cutlery, etc, and ample space for meal preparation. Our indoor and outdoor dining tables seat 6 plus.
There is a grand piano next to the TV lounge and antique furniture we’ve carefully chosen throughout which we feel adds a personal and unique touch to our home.
A BBQ grill sits next to the outdoor dining patio for meals under the stars, while the jacuzzi lies not too far away, but unobstructed from clear sunset and night sky views.
There is a washer and dryer for those planning longer stays, central heat and AC keep things comfortable all year round and WiFi throughout.
The TV is a smart TV, (we do not have cable) with a DVD player and (mostly childrens) DVDs for entertainment.
There is also a surveillance camera at the entry of the home for safety.
Guest access
Guests will have access to our 5 beautiful acres of private land, ample paved parking and a covered carport, with access to our entire home.
There is a trampoline on the property. Please use at your own risk. By booking the property, you release the owners of any injury and liability associated with the trampoline use.
Interaction with guests
Your privacy is very important to us. We visit the retreat as often as we can and ensure its well maintained, however in general we wont be able to greet you in person when you arrive.
The house has 24hour access with a keyless entry, though we ask you call the day of arrival, at least two hours in advance, or before 10pm, with an arrival time so that we may turn off the security alarm before you arrive.
Please feel free to email or call us with any questions you might have or if you’d like recommendations, we’d love to share them! Our Yucca Valley contact Meg is available if you need immediate help. We do our best to respond the very same day and hope you enjoy staying in our mountain retreat as much as we do.

The house is uniquely perched on top of a hill, providing specular mountain views. The house and particularly the kitchen was well equipped. The French country interior was inviting and furniture was comfy.

This is a wonderful place to stay when visiting Joshua Tree! The hot tub helped us recover from our hikes and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We appreciated the games and the well appointed kitchen too. Our family highly recommends this property and hopes to return someday.

Perfect location for the views. The house sits on a hill and has great views from all four sides of the property. We liked that the back yard had three separate sitting areas depending on how much sun you wanted, from none to full. It was very clean and supplied with everything we needed. Very nice hot tub.

Relaxing
Our stay was very relaxing. Exactly what we needed. The house was clean, well appointed and thoughtfully decorated. Not much to do in Yucca Valley but we did drive to other locations to see other areas with no issues. I recommend this property.

Eclectic, Charming Desert Oasis
In a good way, this house is a throwback to the 60s, with all the charm and quirkiness that entails. Comfortable with lots of little cozy sitting areas, the house is filled with interesting books, nostalgic artwork and even a basket of musical instruments to accompany the piano. The beds are super comfortable with very fine, crisp linens and the jacuzzi is clean and perfectly bubbly. Great rental house!

Amazing Getaway! Don’t Hesitate.
We absolutely loved our stay at this relaxing desert oasis. It feels like a home from the minute you walk in, has beautiful and eclectic design and is loaded with all the things you could need. The owner Laurie was an amazing communicator and very responsive. I would not hesitate to stay here again and will also be recommending it to all my friends going west.

Relaxation with views!
This house is so beautiful and comfortable it’s hard to leave! We loved watching the roadrunners, jackrabbits and quail from patios all around the house. It’s a short drive to great hikes and Joshua Tree. Park

Charming desert home
We loved our stay here! The house is surrounded by dirt roads that lead up to a hill with great views of the valley. Perfect for hiking, running, biking right out the front door. Location is convenient, close to town and Joshua Tree National Park. Our dog had fun roaming around in the fenced back yard and we loved relaxing in the hot tub. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need to prepare a gourmet meal. Such a charming place!

A restful retreat
We had a lovely thanksgiving in this stunning home. The kitchen was perfectly optimized to cook a big meal! The home was clean and warm and there was plenty to do at the property without even stepping out the front door. Definitely want to come back!

Wow. What a spectacular home to retreat, to play and to spa.

A few nights in the desert, staying in a home-from-home was all we were hoping for when booking this property. After months of barely leaving the house, it was a tentative step into the outside world.And, what glorious steps they were. The desert was warm and welcoming with velvet night skies and light breezes to help blow away the anxieties that have hung around since early spring..The house was as advertised with plenty of space for our party of two adults and our pup, Bumper. The property would comfortably sleep 4 and still provide room for another one or two, at a push. It's also very dog friendly regarding layout and the fencing of the grounds.There are a myriad of lovely touches to remind guests that this house is also a home and it has a feel of a place that is much loved for much of the time.The area is rich in jack rabbits and adjacent is a small complex that welcomes guests on yoga retreats. The only audible noise, other than that emanating from the wildlife, came one night from the guests at the retreat chanting and cheering around an evening camp fire. After our isolation it was sound we welcomed.The property host is responsive and accommodated a request related to check in that was much appreciated.Highly recommended.

Great desert getaway!
The Bobcat fire was making our air terrible, so we decided to get away for the week. So glad we found this place! Not too far from stores and restaurants, but isolated enough for privacy. Great back yard/outdoor living space. Well decorated. My kid loved the musical instruments. Would like to go back!

Fantastic Stay!
Everything about this home and property is fantastic! Of all the trips I've made out to Joshua Tree/Yucca Valley, this home is one of my favorites. Every single detail, the cleanliness, the communication with Laurie, the grounds were all superb! Thank you, Laurie for being quick with responses and for a truly magical stay. We would love to return in the future.

Great Place!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay...the owners were very responsive and communicative and the house was exactly as described! The house is situated at the top of a hill so the views are spectacular. The property is huge, but the backyard is gated so dogs can't get out! There are dirt roads next to the house that lead up to various trails...perfect for off-roading. The house was nicely decorated, clean, comfy and dog friendly...we will definitely choose to stay at this house if we find ourselves in Yucca Valley again! Thank you to the owners for sharing their lovely getaway!

Relaxing Home
Thank you for sharing your home with us. We had a relaxing stay and loved the time of year with all the desert bloom. The quiet location was nice and the indoor as well as outdoor spaces were comfortable. We spent most days hiking and then came back and enjoyed cooking in the well equipped kitchen. The beds were comfortable too!
Thanks again!

The Perfect Place!
Our vacation at this home was perfect in every way. The property is amazing and the views absolutely gorgeous. The house was beautifully furnished and decorated and had everything we needed. The jacuzzi is one of the nicest I’ve ever been in. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay another week. Best vacation ever. Many thanks to the owners!!!

The property was delightful. Truly serene.
This property was perfect for our family stay in the desert. It was well appointed, secluded, and charming while being near everything we'd hoped to visit in the valley. The place felt luxurious but approachable...no museum feel. My boys found a lovely spot in a tree to watch for local wildlife and enjoyed the games and puzzles they've so thoughtfully left here & there. The ice maker seemed especially useful. Great place to see stars! I couldn't have asked for a more comfortable place to come back to after all of our hikes and day romps around town. All in all it was a great stay and we look forward to returning when we can. You won't regret booking this one.
