Escape to a desert playground on 5 acres of remote land with a large hot tub, dipping pool, climbing wall, hammock forest, yoga deck, fire pit, outdoor bathtubs, picturesque stargazing, verdant native plants, walk-in shower with rain shower head, and more! 9 min east of Downtown Joshua Tree and 18 min equidistant between the main West Entrance and the less crowded North Entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. Fully renovated house w/ brand new appliances, AC/Heating, floors, etc The space: This newly-renovated and remodeled two bedroom two bath house has all the modern amenities and playful outdoor spaces you could ask for during your stay. Spend time gazing out at your own private views of Copper Mountain and into the remote desert on our large deck with in-ground hot tub and dipping pool. Relax under dappled sunlight and eucalyptus trees in the "hammock forest." Get bendy on the yoga deck. Cook a feast and share it with friends and family on the large outdoor dining table. Snap some pics in the bathtubs in the desert (available seasonally for soaking and cold water only). Build a fire in the outdoor fire pit, get toasty, roast some marshmallows, stare at the stars, and have some deep talks ‘til the wee hours! The property also comes with: Keyless entry smart lock Comfy king and queen beds Daybed that converts into the size of a queen bed Smart TV with access to all streaming apps Bluetooth sound bar Mini-split AC/heating units Original indoor wood burning fireplace Large dining table that doubles perfectly as a work space Modern kitchen with a full fridge, a gas stove/oven, dishwasher, and everything you need to make fantastic meals Coffee maker Gas outdoor propane BBQ Refurbished original concrete flooring Hanging chair on the patio Native plants throughout the property: desert pine, eucalyptus, and palm trees; our beautiful ocotillo; a still-growing Joshua Tree planted by the original owner in 1985. Other things to note: One towel, hand towel, wash cloth, makeup towel, and pool towel provided per guest. Some trash bags, dish soap, detergent, paper towels, and toilet paper have been provided. For more, please visit one of our local markets. NO SMOKING in the house. Please mind your butts. Pets: Pre-screened pets are welcome for an additional $35 fee. They must be house-trained and stay off furniture, and out of the outdoor water features. Road Conditions: The road in off the highway is a quick 1-2 minute drive on dirt. A four wheel drive car is not required, but note that roads will often have dumps and ruts, particularly after it rains. Please take it slow and don't veer too far off the packed dirt and you'll be fine! Events & Commercial Photoshoots: Not permitted without prior approval, applicable permit and additional fees. THE DESERT IS WILD! The remote desert is home to coyotes, spiders, scorpions, wild dogs, snakes, and lots of pokey cacti! You will be fine, just use common sense and be careful. It's very difficult to keep every bug out, especially if doors/windows are left open or it's been very hot lately. I recommend relying on AC/fans when it's hot because of this. Temperature and weather extremes are common; including high winds, dust storms, occasional flash floods, and temperatures ranging from the 30s past the 100s Fahrenheit. Also since we are in California, wildfires and earthquakes can happen! Please prepare, plan, dress, hydrate, apply sunscreen, and supervise children, pets, and loved ones accordingly. \*\* Guests use hot tub, pool, and other amenities at their own risk. Host is not liable for any injuries or damage done. By booking, you are acknowledging this. \*\* Guest access: The entire 5 acre property is yours during your stay!
