Peaceful outside area to star gaze with fire pit. 3 Minutes to the entrance to Joshua Tree Natinonal Park.

The space
This cabin was built in 1948. Its 3 Miles to the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. It’s has finished cement floors, mid century modern/ minimal interior design., full kitchen suitable for minimal cooking but nothing elaborate, outside seating area and fire pit, off street parking.

This is a quirky old cabin, which we love, but if you are looking for a modern place without idiosyncrasies this may not be a great match for you.

This house is on a divided acre with another (Forever 29). The two houses are separated and there is a ton of privacy. There may be some interaction with other guests while parking. If you’re interested in renting both this house and Forever 29 together we can do a package for both. $20 Pet fee per pet. Let us know if you plan to bring any pets.

Guest access
Guests have access to the small house, full kitchen, private washer and dryer, private bathroom, private parking behind the small house, and private outdoor seating area with fire pit.

Other things to note
This is a rural part of the desert with quite a few creatures. You may see snakes, spiders, mice, lizards, etc. Don't panic they generally keep to themselves.

Excellent location just outside of Joshua Tree National Park. The bed was comfortable, the shower was hot, and the accommodation was very clean and comfortable. Loved the organ, the record player and vintage albums.

Thoroughly enjoyed this quaint, convenient home. Close to the Park and the Marine base. I enjoyed a beautiful day at the Park and reconnected with old friends from the base. Perfect getaway.

My husband and I needed a small place for a trip to Joshua Tree, and we chose this place because we’re both artists, and everything about the place seemed perfect for us. It was! Just a quick drive to one of the Joshua Tree entrances, the cabin is off the beaten path, but still easy to get to. We loved the very unfussy but nicely put-together interior — especially the turn table and LPs! The small kitchen gave us the opportunity to come back to a quick meal on our own rather than spending tons of money in restaurants.
