This well-preserved 1950s homestead sits on 2.5 desert acres in a secluded spot on the outskirts of Twentynine Palms. The property is 15 minutes from the Joshua Tree National Park north entrance. You feel away from it all, but are convenient to all the local amenities. Enjoy quiet evenings under the stars, or kick back on the porch after a day of hiking in the park. We have one master bedroom and a bonus bedroom in a sunny alcove in the front of the house. The house comfortably sleeps up to two couples. A cozy living room features a fireplace to take the nip off the chilly nights. Eat breakfast under the shade of the pepper tree and you might spot jackrabbits, coyotes, roadrunners and quail. At night have a barbecue and then relax under starry skies and shooting stars (seriously, lots of shooting stars). Take a bath in our outdoor clawfoot tub. Perfect for a romantic getaway, artist/writer’s retreat or an adventure weekend in the park.

    My daughter and I came for a short trip to visit Joshua Tree National Park. Kurt and Clare's home was very clean and homey. The proximity to the NE entrance to the park (in Twentynine Palms) was great.

    Host was very communicative. The hooves was as sweet as it could be and perfectly stocked. Good stainless cookware, great directions and suggestions on activities. A lot of attention to details and very much appreciated.

    Lovely little colorful home, full of personal touches. Beautiful and peaceful desert property. The house is a real home complete with everything you need to stay. There's an amazing record collection and lots of original art. Gorgeous sunsets! Very inspiring retreat. Kurt was an excellent communicator and gave us great directions to the property and nearby hikes. Don't miss the outdoor tub!

    This place is somehow even cuter in person than what we were expecting. Because it is on the outer edge of town, you really do get to experience desert living without feeling like you are in the middle of a city. The property is large and gave us beautiful unobstructed views of the sunset, and of the stars! Its still close enough to make going out to grab a bite to eat, or to visit Joshua Tree easy. It is the best of both worlds. The host was so easy to communicate with. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
