About this cabin rental
Originally built in the 1940's and freshly restored to it's former glory, the Owl's Nest Cabin is a slice of Pioneertown history. In addition to the Cabin we offer the "Little Hoot" vintage trailer. The Little Hoot is a 1957 Aljo that has been completely restored. The trailer option functions as an extra bedroom and relax space for extra guests. The trailer rents for an additional $70 per night.
Guests in the trailer will use the bathroom in the cabin, just steps away.
We are located in Water Canyon just 1.8 miles from famous Pappy and Harriets and Pioneertown's scenic Mane St. The Owl's Nest Cabin offers majestic views of the Sawtooth Mountains and is just a short drive to the nearest Joshua Tree Park entrance (Black Rock). Also nearby, The Pioneertown Mountain Preserve offers plenty of hiking trails.

This cabin is a world away from the hustle bustle of the city. Completely surrounded by nature, it's the perfect place to get away. Enjoy listening to the birds sing, watching the coyote's wander in the wash, and breathing in the fresh desert sage air.
We do not offer a TV. We do have internet and a bluetooth radio. The main source of heat in the cabin is a pellet stove. There is also a wall mounted electric heater in the back room. If you decide to add the trailer option during the cold months be assured it is as cozy as can be, thanks to a small but powerful electric heater. It's also quite cozy inside the cabin, however a warm sweater and warm socks are still recommended during the coldest winter months. The pellet stove in the cabin features simple push button operation and has a thermostat. It can run for about 14 hours before more pellets must be added to the hopper. We provide the pellets. In the warmer months the cabin is cooled by an evaporative cooling unit (swamp cooler) that is mounted on the roof. It forces a large amount of air through the cabin and can only work if a window or two in the front room are left about halfway open. If all the windows and doors are closed the evaporative cooling unit will not have the desired effect.
There are several choices available for dining and shopping a short drive from the cabin . Old Town Yucca is about one mile down the road. There you can find a handful of great antique shops, vintage clothing stores, restaurants, as well as a coffee shop and some mom and pop style restaurants. Pioneertown is 2 miles up the road and the home of the famous Pappy and Harriet's Bar and Restaurant. There you can experience some unforgettable Santa Maria BBQ and world calss live entertainment. Frontier Coffeehouse is about a mile down the road in the center of Old Town Yucca. They dish out some of the best BLT's and sophisticated egg sandwiches your palette could ever yearn for, while serving the finest local Joshua Tree Coffee. They have a beer and wine license and a couple nights a week offer live music.
If you'd like to venture a little bit further take a short ride down Hwy 62 to the Joshua Tree Saloon. There you'll get a taste of more local talent and yummy bar fare. The End Clothing Shop is an eclectic blend of chic housewares, jewelry and hand picked second hand fashion. The Hoof and Horn, a western style fashion boutique with a flare. Pioneertown Crossing has a great selection of antiques! Art FX and Furnishings has an amazing selection of local art and gifts. This place is full of desert gems.
Now for hiking,
There are plenty of special areas to hike very close to the cabin. Just a short walk across Pioneertown Rd will bring you to the base of Water Canyon where you can walk up the wash to the Sawtooth Mountain Range. If you'd like to explore further please check out this site for information on Joshua Tree National Park and The Pioneertown Mountain Preserve.
To catch a glimpse of the deserts creative visionaries, visit the sculpture site of the famous Noah Purifoy and enjoy strange and unique sculptures. Head to the historic Integratron if you enjoy architecture and healing sound baths (sound baths are by appointment only).
We are happy to answer any questions you may have during your stay.
Come out and enjoy everything this high desert getaway has to offer!

Great little cabin! Super cute and clean. Check in seamless. Message with host was excellent. We stayed 2 nights in January. Very cold when we arrived, took 2-3 hours for the pellet stove to warm up the space then it was able to keep up. Bed comfortable. Shower good bathroom chilly. They have a coffee pot AND a kettle!! Tea drinkers bonus! Owners live just above but it is private. Neighbors nearby but far enough away. 10 to coffee shops and grocery 20 mins into
Joshua Tree NP. The cleaning/checkout printed list in cabin is very extensive and confusing. Check with owners as to what are your responsibilities.

My two nights at the Owl's Nest were restful, restorative, and cozy. Lula and Matt have created a space (a constellation of indoor and outdoor spaces) that made me feel immediately at home. I loved everything about it!

Perfect cabin in a perfect location
I searched high and low, debated different areas around Joshua Tree, Morengo and Yucca Valley. We are so glad we chose this spot.
It’s a reasonable, pleasant drive to JT and only minutes to restaurants and shopping in Yucca Valley.
The cabin is even better than the pictures. It is very roomy and well appointed, thoughtfully decorated and really comfortable. And the views and beautiful!
Lulu and Matt are amazing to deal with. Our plans changed due to Covid and they were willing to switch our original dates to a later
This is an ideal spot to use as a base for exploring the JT and Pioneertown area.

We had such a wonderful time at the owl’s nest. Host was super communicative and we were able to grab a last-minute booking for a special getaway the day before arrival. Perfect spot to explore the park from. Lots of thoughtful details like comfy blankets in almost every nook, slippers, books, games, coffee and tea. Highly rec for a couple’s getaway. Don’t miss this special spot.

This lovely cabin was the perfect spot for our friends getaway weekend. We enjoyed all the curated artistic touches, rooms that welcome the morning sun, access to wild hiking, and proximity to Pappy & Harriets. The stove and firepit kept us plenty warm on chilly evenings. Hope to come back soon!

Amazing, Quiet Desert Getaway just minutes from great food and attractions.
Everything about this house was a joy to stay at. Lulu and Matt have decorated the place in a beautiful way. It feels rustic and desert-approriate while also being modern and clean. The back patio is a perfect spot to relax and unwind and the fire pit is a great way to cap off a night star gazing. Overall would highly recommend and will certainly be back!

We couldn’t have asked for a better high desert haven to relax and enjoy Cali beauty! We so enjoyed it all - especially relaxing on the patio for morning coffee, afternoon snoozing in the hammock chairs, and nibbling on a light dinner in the evening!

Perfect getaway
Thank you Lulu and Matt! We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day visit. Owls Nest is so artfully curated with a colorful blend of desert, Moroccan, 60's vibe.. (a perfect combo for us). Very well-appointed, clean, organized, maintained. We are both artists and professors of art and design. We were able to teach and work (though WiFi works well.. Zoom a bit glitchy but manageable) Loved the pellet oven, excellent views, the wildlife, local hikes - extremely peaceful. Looking forward to our next stay.. V + S

Quirky retro abode
Very comfortable and quirky abode in a quiet part of town just minutes away from pioneer town and the national park. Just used the Owls Nest as a spot to sleep and relax after a day in the park and was fine just for that.

Spiritual Retreat
In the midst of Covid and a world of uncertainties, this beautiful little cabin was a perfectly necessary oasis. Its Energy was that of peace and grounding, which provided an important restorative retreat for our 10th anniversary. A huge thanks to Matt and Lulu for all of their simultaneous support and space. We have no doubt that this will be a space we return to for years to come, as we are already looking forward to our next visit!
