Welcome to Chuckwalla! Make the desert your backyard at this light-filled bungalow surrounded by sand, and sweeping views of Yucca Valley. Inside, the open-planned kitchen and living area showcase the best of California-style interiors, including an earthy color palette, and wood materials. Spend your time admiring the area’s main attraction–the great outdoors!– bundled up by the fire pit and marvel at the abundant Joshua tree grove or in the hot tub, soaking under the stars. When you’re fully recharged, turn up the volume and recruit your group for a crowd-pleasing corn hole tournament in the yard. Enjoy! Joshua Tree originally attracted artistic types looking for an unspoiled environment to inspire their creative side. Nowadays, it also appeals to distant travelers for its superb stargazing, mountain climbing, and vibrant art scene. Within driving distance from Los Angeles and Coachella Valley, this nature lover’s dream invites you to unplug, enjoy the outdoors, and admire the surrounding Joshua trees, of course. Nearby activities: Joshua Tree National Park, Hawks Landing Golf Course, Frontier Cafe, Cali Greens Cafe, Pappy & Harriet’s, Hi-Desert Nature Museum, Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, Palm Springs. *Home Truths:* - 2 pets are allowed at this home.
