Desert-Chic Abode with Sauna and Heatlamps, Minutes to Joshua Tree and Pappy's

This desert abode has been beautifully renovated while keeping its original charm. It is situated in a residential neighborhood while maintaining the feeling of open space as it sits on a half-acre lot. The decor gives a desert-chic vibe, with comfort and every detail kept in mind. Splash around in the backyard pool or warm up in the sauna, throw something on the barbecue, or play some foosball in the game room. Wake up feeling rested in one of the plush memory foam beds. Restaurants, shops, and the National Park are all a short drive away.

This house has been designed, furnished, and decorated with love by its owners. It features a spacious kitchen for gourmet cooking, an open layout living and dining area, and 4 bedrooms with three full baths. Stay cool under the shaded area outback - or indoors with our modern Nest cooling system. Or cozy up next to the gas fireplace in the living room. This home is your perfect desert getaway.

These pipes are older than the Joshua trees...not really but please do not flush anything (even "flushable" wipes) down the toilet, except toilet paper. Following these guidelines will avoid problems with the plumbing. If it is determined that the pipes have been clogged due to misuse, a $200 repair fee will be charged. Thank you for your cooperation.

—Video & Audio-level monitoring
Audio level is monitored using Minut audio level monitoring. Rest assured we cannot hear anything but are alerted if noise levels exceed normal levels for a sustained period.

Camera - the front doorbell also functions as a camera so video and audio are recorded through this device. Rest assured this is only used to assist with check-in or in case a safety issue occurs.

—BBQ and Outdoor eating
The barbecue is a 4-burner propane grill with an electric starter. With heat lamps nearby you can grill comfortably and eat under heat lamps.

—Checking Out
Please check out by 11:00 AM. Checking out by this time ensures that we have enough time to clean the property and get it ready for our next guest.

a huge house, stylish, fairly convenient

pros: stylish remodel of an older home a huge house with big bedrooms and lots of space to spread out (game room, yoga room, etc.)...would be excellent for larger groups large pool decent coffee gear (pour over and burr grinder) comfortable mattresses with memory foamcons:- A lot of the remodel was done with low quality materials (e.g. lots of the old single pane windows remain so it's quite drafty, the kitchen drawers are magnetic / spring and many do not work at all)- A fine neighborhood, but definitely suburbia feel (great for running errands in town but not the rural desert feel if that's what you want)...so it's convenient but a bit less aesthetic than being outside of town.- While we were there, it was too cold to use the pool, which isn't a negative of the house, just an FYI- Like so many rentals/ VRBO, the kitchen supplies (pots, pans, knives) were pretty battered and limited...but that's kind of what we expect in rentals- FYI the listing amenities include a hot tub, but there is not oneOverall, we had a great time!

Wedding Weekend

Very clean property with a lot of amenities. The host was easy to communicate with and responded to all questions quickly. We were traveling to attend a wedding and the house was great for 8 adults. Plenty of room. Two downstairs bedrooms had a lot of separation, with the two upstairs bedrooms being close to each other. All bedrooms were very spacious. We would happily book this property again if we return to the area.

Beautiful desert getaway

Tucked away in a a quiet residential neighborhood, this home has an incredibly welcoming ambiance. The host was always quick to respond to questions, and incredibly accommodating, ensuring a comfortable stay. The home is beautifully decorated and cozy with fireplaces, outdoor heaters, and blankets, perfect for our winter stay. The spacious property was perfect for our extended family of 7 adults, offering plenty of space to gather for meals and games, and a little private time if needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
