-More-
Inspired by the likes of Joshua Tree Saloon, Pioneer town and Pappy & Harriets, our brand new home is designed to immerse you in the complete desert nomad experience. Extreme attention to the largest and smallest of details to allow every moment of your stay to feel like you are enjoying a stay at a wild west motel. The red swinging saloon doors and bedroom doors are a beautiful contrast to the cracked pepper walls and ceilings. Solid walnut baseboards and door ceilings add a rustic, warm cabin element to the overall design. The cozy interior captures amazing views of the picturesque mountain and desert valley views. Outside there are plenty of places to gather fireside with family and friends. The peaceful desert breezes and crisp fresh air are a rejuvenating experience from the daily grind. Just minutes away, there are dirt roads straight out to coyote dry lake bed where there is wide open blm land , trails and sand dunes to enjoy in your offroad vehicles. You may like to take a day trip to joshua tree national park and see some amazing rock landscapes and desert valleys sprinkled with wildlife and the famous joshua trees! Between downtown joshua tree and yucca valley you will find small diners, cafes and vintage shopping adventures. We hope you enjoy your stay as much as we do. Oh one more thing, doordash and uber are also some nice amenities we have available at your fingertips during your stay.

Unique and comfortable home in Joshua Tree

Our family of 2 adults and 2 kids had a wonderful stay at the Black Cactus during our spring break trip to Joshua Tree. The house is off of a dirt road just 5 minutes from town. The home is immaculately furnished and filled with fun and quirky artwork throughout the property. Everything we needed for a few days away was provided at the house - soap, detergent, shampoo/conditioner, plush towels, fully stocked kitchen, basic condiments, and Nespresso machine with pods. The evenings were peaceful and we enjoyed stargazing from the roof deck and well-maintained hot tub. We really appreciated all the special touches in this home and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a fun and unique stay in the Mojave Desert.

What a Place!

Unbelievably cool - rooftop stargazing- firepits- ample seating everywhere in and out. The decor is cowboy modern in an artistic way. Plenty of kitchenware - and vinyl! Listened to ZZ Top while cooking - as a Texan, this was a big bonus. Rooms were comfortable and plenty of blankets. The hosts were very attentive. Would absolutely stay here again! Joshua Tree Park close and stunning :):) Can’t wait to come back!!

Our stay at Black Cactus was the best VRBO experience. The location was wonderful, peaceful, quiet and serene and just a short 10 minute drive to the local market and Joshua Tree visitor center. We choose to have both breakfast and dinners at the house since there can’t be a more beautiful place then this home to eat in town. To sit up on the deck and enjoy breakfast and a cup of coffee or have dinner around the fire pit, what could be better. There is also a barbecue which we never used but had we stayed for the week I’m sure we would have done some cooking on it. We loved taking a hot tub after a long day of hiking. The hot tub was super clean just like the rest of the house. We also really appreciated that they used Meyer’s sustainable cleaning products, they even provided Meyer’s laundry soap. They even had it down to sustainable toilet paper. The beds are super comfortable and the view from all three bedrooms is unbelievable. To watch the sunrise from the Master bedroom is the most incredible way to wake up. The kitchen had everything we needed. There was even a brand new Nespresso machine and there was plenty of spices and some condiments, all fresh. All the sheets, towels, soap, shampoo, conditioner etc were of high quality. Jin and Jerry are the best hosts you can imagine. They were always available if we had any questions and very kind and thoughtful. We are looking forward come back to Joshua tree in the near future for another rejuvenating stay at Black Cactus. 🌍
