About this house rental
Our casita is located on 2.5 acres in a tranquil desert location, Joshua Tree, CA. Located about 10 minutes from the national park, restaurants and shopping. Surrounded by mountains, the setting is tranquil and beautiful. It is perfect for stargazing, watching sunsets and relaxing on the patio. The property includes extensive gardens and attracts butterflies and birds. Casita is a separate private guesthouse efficiency style with its own kitchen (with coffee provided) and firepit area. A recently added outdoor fireplace and hot tub are perfect for nightime gathering. Use of the hot tub is for casita guests only, it is not communal or shared. Plenty of parking and areas to explore. The queen bed is separated from the living and kitchen areas by a partial wall. The couch in the living area is a double size sleeper sofa. There are two large patios for viewing both sunrise and sunset. Hawks, rabbits, & hummingbirds can be seen on most days. This is a beautiful place. We think you will agree.

Awesome place. The property is beautiful and the host was super nice. Exactly as pictured! We didnt enjoy the hot tub due to the rainy weather we had but the place was still awesome! Would recommend and stay here again in the future.

Our stay here was better than expected! If you are looking for a place that offers peace and solitude, this is definitely the place for you! We enjoyed time in Joshua Tree National Park, Palm Springs and we took a drive up scenic Highway 74! All of these adventures were within a reasonable drive of Casa Mariposa :-) if we find ourselves back near Joshua Tree again, we would definitely stay here!

Wonderful place to stay while exploring Joshua Tree National Park. Quiet, nice outside seating, comfy bed. We didn’t use the hot tub, but it would’ve been an amazing place to star gaze from! The dirt road leading to the place is a bit bumpy and rough, but we had fair warning. The directions to the house from the owner were better than GPS!

We spent 5 nights at this beautiful casita and loved it. The property grounds are spectacular. Every where you look there is some interesting pieces of art. The gardens are mature and give the property so much privacy. The casita was comfortable and well appointed with everything we needed. It too was filled with art. The hot tub was really clean and we were able to heat it up and cool it down depending on early morning soak or midday cool off. We will definitely book again next year. Fantastic!
