Our home is set on a private road, so you'll get expansive sweeping views of the park, mountains, and valley along with privacy.

Our 600 sq ft house, 300 sq ft casita, and our entire property are all yours to enjoy.

We have amazing stargazing and the Sky's The Limit Observatory is located less than a mile from us.

Everything you need or want is within 10-15 minutes of the house including groceries. We are also within the radius of delivery services like Instacart. Twentynine Palms has shops and restaurants including the best bakery in the hi-desert (and Starbucks).

Although you'll want to drive to the park to see the main attractions, Joshua Tree National Park begins just across Utah Trail. There's great cross-country hiking from the house for anyone that is up for an adventure. We're happy to share that information when you book.

Our house is located on a private road so it is very serene and quiet. There is plenty of on-site parking.

ROAD CONDITIONS: Roads are dirt, so please take it slow. A four-wheel drive car is not required, but note that roads will often have ruts and exposed rocks, particularly after rain.

Host is available 24 hours . Direct phone number will be provided with reservation.

There are no homes between our backyard and the park entrance. That means you get uninterrupted and private views of the park. It also sits at a higher elevation than town so on the north side of the house you get soft twinkling city lights at night.

The property is amazing for stargazing and the Sky's the Limit Observatory is located less than a mile from us.

Everything you need or want is within 10-15 minutes of the house including grocery. We are also in the radius of delivery services like Instacart.

The WKNDR is conveniently located 2 miles from 29 Palms main street and less than 1 mile from Joshua Tree National Park. 29 Palms is a "desert oasis" with boutiques and restaurants including the best bakery in the high desert.

We are slightly off the beaten path on a dirt road. There is plenty of parking on our property.

Like all homes in the area, our house has a septic tank. Please don't flush anything except for toilet paper.

So Peaceful

My daughter and i stayed for a little.Mother's Day weekend retreat. Our stay was perfect! So close to the park. So quiet and comfy to come back to at the end of a day exploring the park. The views are wonderful. So quiet and relaxing. The house is well appointed, we didn't need for a single thing.

Lovely setting near Joshua Tree

The property is a small, well-kept, well furnished, and attractive cottage near an entrance to Joshua Tree National Park with wonderful views. Logistics were easy, and the host was very understanding when I had to leave mid-stay because of a family health issue at home.

Paradise in the Desert!

This VRBO property did not disappoint. The house is equipped with everything you could want or need for a vacation getaway. It is tastefully decorated and spotless inside and is right outside the Joshua Tree Park entrance. The area around the house is peaceful and quiet, with only one other house around. Our favorite time in the home was opening the automatic blinds in the bedroom to watch the colors in the sky over the mountains for sunrise! The property manager, Hilary, was easy to contact with any questions and replied almost immediately. Definitely recommend.

Host profile image
Howdy! I'm Hilary. I'm a full time Airbnb host and have hiked every trail in Joshua Tree National Park. I hope to share my love of the desert with guests. I love providing recommendations. Check out our blog for Joshua Tree www.wkndr.life

Why they chose this property

As one of our guests put it, “Amazing spot if seclusion, privacy and natural, otherworldly beauty is what you seek. On a clear night, the sky unveils everything it has to offer. The kitchen is great, the beds are comfy and the fire pit is exactly where you need to be. Thoughtful, minimalistic design elements add to the uniqueness.”

What makes this property unique

As another guest said, "Wow. Staying at this beautiful property is almost like living in Joshua Tree National Park, but with all the comforts of home, and then some! Hilary put thought into making this property a comfort for her guests. The kitchen had the greatest variety of cookware that I've experienced in my Airbnb experience. The large availability of outlets (all types - USB & traditional) was unexpected and utilized! The high quality hammocks were great for stargazing and strong air conditioning much appreciated. 5 out of 5 stars *****!
