Nightsky Nest ※ Desert Getaway by Joshua Tree Park
Nightsky Nest offers both tranquility and convenience making it the perfect place to call home as you embark on your exciting California High Desert adventure and memorable time at the world-famous Joshua Tree National Park! Situated in a quiet pedestrian friendly neighborhood and ideally located equidistant from two Park entrances, this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom, single level property, can accommodate you and yours with ease whether indoors or out.
Desert adventurers and stargazers, welcome to Nightsky Nest! This updated home is perfectly situated to access all the best that the California High Desert has to offer. Equally located between both the West and North entrances of Joshua Tree National Park, visitors are only 15 minutes from the other worldly location. Convenient to shopping, dining and attractions, Nightsky Nest is an idyllic escape. Impeccably decorated, offering a fully fenced backyard for evenings to privately enjoy the starlit skies, and unparalleled location conveniences to all needed amenities make this the getaway you have been waiting for.
Guests will wake up to views of the mountain ranges bordering Joshua Tree National Park and can enjoy their morning cup of coffee on the quaint front porch. Get prepared for the day by fueling up with a meal you can prepare in the fully equipped kitchen that opens up to both the dining and living areas.
After exploring the great outdoors or browsing the eclectic local boutiques and shops, settle in for the evening for that chance to unwind. Whether you are having take-out from one of the local restaurants or preparing a special dish prepared with ingredients from stores just around the corner, there are endless options to close out your day at Nightsky Nest. Catch up on your favorite shows or have a movie on a large flat-screen Roku smart television in the living room or the large guest bedroom. For those needing a digital free evening, a suite of board games and a thoughtful collection of books are available to read.
Should the fresh, open air beckon you once more, the home extends the living experience outside. Easily dine al fresco with direct access from the kitchen to the grill. Enjoy an outdoor meal while watching the colors of the sunset light the sky at the adjoining patio dining and seating areas. A firepit circled by comfortable chairs, coupled with two large hammocks just steps away, make a picturesque scene for quiet hours of stargazing deep into the night.
Turn in for that restful night of sleep in any one of the three bedrooms, including one with its own ensuite bathroom and furnished with two queen size beds and television. The home also offers high-speed internet, two workstations, guest access to laundry, and a standard 110v outlet for Level 1 EV charging.
Placed between all the best of the High Desert, Twentynine Palms is a city that carries the honor as the official Gateway to the new Mojave Trails National Monument.

Great base for Joshua Tree!
We spent 5 nights at Nightsky Nest while we explored JT and it was a perfect location and great place to stay. Quiet neighborhood, clean and well stocked with everything we needed. It was such a relaxing place to come back to after a day of exploring. We would definitely go back if we are in the area again!

Nice House in a Quiet Neighborhood
Nice, clean home in a very quiet neighborhood. A great spot for enjoying the days traveling around the area, and being able to come back to a place with comfortable beds, and peaceful evenings.
Ben and Michael's place was clean and well furnished. I'd certainly recommend this location for anyone with similar traveling needs.

Visiting Joshua Tree NP
My wife and her sister and I, all retirees, spent 12 nights at Night Sky Nest. The house was comfortable and attractive. It was very convenient to several NP entrances and to a great grocery store where we could get everything we needed for food. The neighborhood was a quiet residential area. The hosts were extremely responsive to any questions we had and went out of their way to meet our needs. The open kitchen, dining, and living room worked great for us. If we were to go back to Joshua Tree, we would stay there again.

One of the Best
Spent 4 days here as our base of operations for exploring Joshua Tree National Park. This one of the best places we have stayed in all of our travels. The location was great, the neighborhood was quiet, and it is close to everything. The house was very nicely decorated and appointed. Lots of extra towels, blankets, and pillows. Coffee pods provided for machine were a nice touch and very much appreciated. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it to others.

Terrific Twentynine Palms
This property is great and in a good location - a very quiet residential neighbourhood with easy access to Joshua Tree National park. The property was clean and well equipped and we had excellent instructions/guidance. We particularly enjoyed sitting out at the rear of the property and enjoying the warm sunshine. We would recommend this property.
