Min Stay

Relax, recharge & settle into the slower rhythm of the desert at Casa de Alta Loma. Set on the edge of Joshua Tree Village with panoramic views toward Joshua Tree National Park, you're just 4 miles from the park entrance and 1 mile from downtown shops, coffee & restaurants.



- Thoughtfully designed interiors for slow mornings & cozy nights

- Multiple outdoor spaces to find your spot—lounge, gather, exhale & catch a delicious desert sunset

- Hot tub for soaking under the stars

- Outdoor shower for rinsing off the day under the open sky



The park is close. Town is closer. But once you settle in, you may find there's nowhere else you need to be. Pick up a book by a local author, cook something you love, find your spot outside & let the desert do its thing. Sometimes the best plan is no plan at all.





STAY AWHILE



Step inside & make yourself at home—thoughtful design meets laid-back desert comfort in a space meant to be enjoyed, not just admired. Put on a record, pick up a book by a local author or curl up on the sectional for a favorite show or movie. Casa de Alta Loma was made for slowing down, settling in & staying awhile.



- Comfy oversized sectional

- 50 Samsung Frame TV

- Record player + Bluetooth speakers

- Books by local authors

- Locally sourced furnishings & artwork

- Polished concrete floors throughout

- Individually controlled heating & cooling for personalized, year-round comfort



COOK



Cook something you love—or order in & give yourself more time to unwind. The kitchen is bright & spacious, with professional-grade Italian Bertazzoni appliances.



- Enough pots, pans & baking dishes for a holiday feast

- Cooking basics including olive oil, salt, pepper & a variety of spices

- Locally roasted Joshua Tree Coffee Company coffee, plus teas & sugar

- Coffee three ways: pour-over, French press or drip



GATHER



Gather around the table for dinner, a game, another glass of wine or the kind of conversation that lasts a little longer when nobody's watching the clock. Remember, you're on desert time.



Dedicated spaces for dining indoors or out.



- Indoor dining table with seating for 4

- Outdoor dining area

- Large selection of board games for all ages

- Chess + playing cards



REST



A good night's sleep can be the most important part of a getaway. At the end of your day in the desert, sink into a really comfortable bed and a sleep environment designed to help you truly rest. It's one of the things our guests rave about most.



- King bedroom with reading chair + views toward Joshua Tree National Park

- Double bedroom with dedicated desk + workspace

- Pillow-top memory foam mattresses

- Organic 100% cotton percale bedding + hypoallergenic bamboo duvets

- Individual bedroom temperature control for your ideal sleep environment

- Bedside wireless charging + USB ports

- Sleep machines, sleep masks, earplugs + pillow spray



REFRESH



Whether it's an unhurried start to the morning, freshening up after a dusty day exploring, or rinsing off after an evening soak in the hot tub, refresh inside under the rain shower—or step outside beneath the open desert sky.



- One full bathroom

- Walk-in shower with rain shower head

- Organic bath products made with natural, plant-based ingredients

- Private outdoor shower for an open-air rinse



STEP OUTSIDE



The outdoor spaces are where Casa de Alta Loma really comes alive. Find your spot—stretch out, exhale & let the desert do its thing.



- Private hot tub with full-body massage jets beneath the open desert sky

- Multiple outdoor spaces for morning coffee, afternoon lounging & sunset drinks

- Open-air yoga pad with mats, blocks & straps to find your flow

- Hammock + chaise loungers for reading, dozing & doing absolutely nothing

- Mural-side fire pit painted by a local artist—a place to gather, share stories & unwind after a day of exploring in the desert

- Joshua Tree Blanket Company blankets & ponchos for cool desert nights

- Panoramic desert views—the kind you came to Joshua Tree for



As the sun sets, watch the desert slip into golden hour before the stars take over. Stay out a little longer around the fire or sink into the hot tub & look up—on a clear night, you may even catch the Milky Way overhead.

OUR STORY



Hi, we're Matt + Jeff—the owners of Casa de Alta Loma. This place started with a road trip. We first passed through Joshua Tree in 2019 on our way from Denver to Palm Springs and couldn't stop thinking about the jagged landscape, those wonderfully strange Joshua trees & the feeling of being out here. A few months later, we came back—this time making Joshua Tree the destination—and fell in love with the place.



After a few years of desert road trips, we moved to Southern California and eventually found this little cabin in 2021. It needed plenty of love, but we saw what it could become. We spent the next six months bringing it back to life and creating the modern desert home with the coziness of a cabin we'd been dreaming about.



Casa de Alta Loma is still our own place to get away, settle in & reconnect with the desert—and we love getting to share a little piece of that with you.



MANAGED BY SOLN



Along the way, we discovered how much we loved hosting & giving others the chance to experience the Joshua Tree we've come to love. That eventually led us to start Soln, our local hospitality company, so we could bring the same care to other special homes throughout the High Desert.



So when you hear from Soln during your stay, you're still hearing from us—Matt + Jeff, the owners of Casa de Alta Loma and the founders of Soln.



OTHER THINGS TO NOTE



Casa de Alta Loma is a permitted short-term rental in San Bernardino County. As required by San Bernardino County, additional forms must be completed for every reservation. These forms are a requirement of your booking and are not optional. Please complete the required forms immediately after booking or within 24 hours. Your reservation is not complete until they have been submitted.



Reservations without completed forms will be canceled, as San Bernardino County does not allow us to host your stay without them.



Maximum occupancy: 4 guests

Maximum vehicles: 2



Quiet hours: 10 PM–7 AM. Sound travels surprisingly far in the open desert, and respecting quiet hours is especially important to our neighbors and required by San Bernardino County. Please keep outdoor noise to a minimum during these hours.



Desert environment: Casa de Alta Loma is located in the desert, where insects, lizards, snakes and other wildlife are a natural part of the environment. Please keep doors and screens closed so our desert neighbors can remain in their natural habitat—and out of the cabin.



Propane fire pit: The outdoor fire pit is propane, so there's no need to bring or purchase firewood.



Washer + outdoor shower: Both drain directly into the backyard, where the water helps nourish the desert landscaping. Please use only the products provided—no bleach, harsh chemicals or other soaps/detergents.



Weather + utilities: Desert weather can be unpredictable, and occasional power, internet or other utility interruptions may occur. Weather conditions and utility outages outside of our control do not qualify for refunds.



PROPERTY SERVICE



Our goal is to give you the most private & uninterrupted stay possible. Occasionally, scheduled service—or something unexpected that needs our attention—may require brief access to the outdoor areas of the property.



Hot tub: Serviced every Tuesday + Friday. If your stay falls on one of these days, you may see our technician, who will let himself through the gate and is typically there for less than 10 minutes. Please refrain from using the hot tub immediately after service, as chemical levels may temporarily be elevated.



Landscaping: Scheduled every other Tuesday. Landscapers will access the outdoor areas of the property during their visit.



Trash: Collected Monday mornings. Our service provider handles everything and will briefly enter through the front gate to retrieve the trash containers.



EXTERIOR SECURITY CAMERAS For the safety and security of the property, Casa de Alta Loma has two exterior security cameras: one directed toward the front door and one directed toward the front driveway/gate. There are no cameras inside the home.



HOUSE RULES SECTION



Nobody loves rules—we get it. But a few are necessary to help us care for Casa de Alta Loma, respect our neighbors & protect the desert around us. Settle in, relax & enjoy the place as your own while you're here—we just ask that you keep the following in mind.
