Funky and fun house close to Joshua Tree National Park
This is a cute and unique little house, very comfortable and convenient to Joshua Tree National Park (especially the north entrance). It was a great homebase for our hiking trip to the area. Would recommend!

Cute and Unique place near the National Park
My boys and I loved staying here. It was just the right size for the three of us. The house was so unique and charming and had everything we needed and more! It was the perfect location for us to go in and out of Joshua Tree National Park. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy place -- works well for an individual or small group
Small but comfortable place with a convenient location. Would stay at again. It would benefit from a few updates -- particularly a shower curtain and a gas stove from a recent decade.

Comfort with personality
Our family of four stayed here and it was fantastic! Cozy, little house with lots of personality! The owners checked on us, too, and made us feel right at home. Perfect location as well. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect intimate desert experience
My best friend and I spent 2 days visiting Joshua Tree National Park and enjoying The Tile House. It was very well equipped, homey and artistic.
We were very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the grounds and the house for interesting displays of art!

Great location for trips into Joshua Tree National Park
Unique property. Well cared for and adequately equipped and clean. Decor is delightful. Yards are not only have abundant wildlife-rabbits, quails, lizards but also “ outdoor art”.
Enjoyed our stay!!!
Excellent accommodations: As promised in VRBO description
A well-equipped, cozy desert home with a spacious, outdoor space as well. Excellent, responsive communication with property manager. Could use another heat source for bedrooms, but it was manageable. Would definitely stay here in the future. Good value for the $$$.
A bit like going back in time (in a good way), this charming house is appointed with a hundred small details to appreciate. Perfect access to the wonderful Joshua Tree area, and the host could not be more responsive.
When my husband and I were looking for options to stay in, he really liked this one due to it's proximity to the park. I wasn't completely sold but I think it's because the pictures don't do this place justice. The yard was a lot bigger than I thought and the house itself was very cozy. Loved staying here with all the cool relics and signage around the yard. Even greater was all the wildlife that would pop in.
Small house with large backyard ideally located close to Joshua Tree NP
Ideally located in a quiet neighborhood, a mere 5 min drive for the Joshua Tree Visitor Center and from supermarkets and restaurants. Place looks bigger than the pictures with a large dinner table in the living room and a large backyard with patio. Idea for a family with two kids. Owner was responsive and friendly. Very well organized check in and check out.

Convenient comfortable and charming. A home with real character
Everything worked well and the home was well equipped including a full set of kitchen implements. Lots of pots and pans dishes etc and a cute second dining table with big windows that we really liked. The bathroom is a bit cramped but colorful and functional. The patio is another nice feature

The property was exactly the way it was described. Small for 6 people but comfortable.
It is comfortable for 6 people ( sleeps 6) only if used for sleeping at night. Well stocked. The yard and neighborhood looks unkempt with lots of stuff everywhere but some people may see it as art. The house itself was very clean and well kept. Owner friendly and helpful.

Perfect for us
We enjoyed this casita very much. It was cozy and comfortable. The furnishings were eclectic and well chosen. An artist loves this home. The back yard was private and lovely to hang out in. The bathroom and kitchen had amazing tile work. We were within a few minutes of all stores and services as well as close to Joshua Tree park. The owner called twice to insure that all was well. We would definitely stay there again.

Fun and comfortable
My teenage daughter and I enjoyed our too brief stay. House was charming, with eclectic fun design inside and out. Plenty of space in bedrooms and living room. Great outdoor area. All very well kept, with love. Bathroom is one of the most charming spaces in the house, but the shower is small. Worked well for us, but folks taller than 6ft or bigger than 200lbs should be aware. Best restaurant options in the town of Joshua Tree, about 15 minutes away.
Wonderful little property near the national park. The property was perfect for my small family of 4 and 2 dogs. The property manager, Patricia, was in constant communication. Small issue with initial check in as VRBO was not the same as property manager's info, but Patricia was great about communicating and rectifying the situation. If you're looking for a place to decompress and disconnect from the world, enjoy the outdoors and play some horshoes, this is the place for you.
Outstanding stay at Cactus Adobe. The location was ideal for us - close to the less busy entrance to JT Park and a quick drive to downtown Joshua Tree. The wonderful vintage collectibles and artwork make the place feel like a well-curated museum but also a lived-in home rather than a rental. We marveled at the original tile designs in the kitchen and bathroom. The vintage kitchen stove is a beauty and works perfectly. The outdoor space with its gorgeous cactus combinations offers all the options we needed for morning coffee, afternoon cocktails, dog play, and lounging in the sun. We could live here very happily!

Quite a few basic supplies were not stocked like TP, Paper Towels, etc and TV was only streaming.
The owner only offered $25 back for two major inconveniences.
This wonderful piece of private property was a perfect getaway and we didn’t want to leave. :) It was exactly what we were looking for. Not fancy but so comfortable. A lot of interesting artifacts throughout the place too. The pictures did not do it justice but that said, you’ll be surprised when you arrive. The outdoor shower is actually what sold me to the Cactus Adobe in the first place. Patricia was wonderful - very responsive with great communication. Thank you!
We do plan on returning.
The Tile House was a perfect choice. It's close to restaurants, the Park, and shopping. The house was clean and comfortable, with everything you could want, and more. When you enter the property, there is a large outdoor space that includes a cactus garden, three different seating locations, and artistic assemblages of found objects with a desert theme, as well as some internation ethnic pieces. And there's an outdoor shower! Inside there is a dining table for 4-6, and there's a smaller round table off the kitchen. The beds are comfy. We spent our time hiking, so we didn't use the TV or couch. The internet worked. They have a lot of basic staples in the kitchen. All communications were flawless.

Eclectic to junky
‘Interesting’ old stuff in disrepair. Smell of gas from ancient stove. Ancient refrigerator is noisy. Many electrical hazards. Signs from national park displayed in backyard. Rusty metal cars parts as ‘found art’. Sure, if my relative offered this place for free, wouldn’t mind the junk and would chip in to help fix it up. But as a paying customer, no. Though it does reflect the desert vibe of poverty and poor maintenance, even has the tire planter, just missing the pink flamingos.

About the host
Hosted by Patricia Knight
I was born and raised in Twentynine Palms and spent my early school years at Blessed Sacrament Grade school. My earliest memories are of the incredible experiences ,Playing hiking and camping around one of the most beautiful playgrounds in the world. I went to New York City when my father was transferred there and spent many years developing my career and life there. 2 years ago I took my wife to the High Desert and to my surprise she loved it.( She is a real City girl) We immediately saw that 29 needed new pioneers to settle there.
Why they chose this property
When we found Cactus Abobe it was in very rough shape but when we saw the original tile work done by the homesteader who built it and the obvious love that he put into it we knew it must be saved. All the original details remain but the electricity has been totally redone and, interior and exterior surfaces have been restored. Since there was very little wood on the desert in 1933 The owner followed the early Spanish practice of creating a cactus fence which you can see today.The Garden was started by his daughter and there are many types of cacti which she nurtured. There are Joshua trees which she planted on the property that are quite rare in 29 Palms. We love this place we hope you will also.
What makes this property unique
The biggest benefit is the ease of travel and closeness to the national park whose Main Entrance and headquarters are located on Utah Trail just a few minutes from our house. There are many things to see and do just a short drive away . Route 66 and the Mojave Wilderness are close by.The Gold Mining Dale district is just outside of town. Wonder Valley offers a unique look at early pioneer homestead buildings from the early 1900's. Visit one of the last outdoor drive in theaters in the US at Smiths Ranch Drive In located a few minutes away on Adobe Road. 29 Palms is centraly located and day trips can easily be made to Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. Just a few miles away is Yucca valley and Pioneer Town with their music scene and antique shops. The village of Joshua tree is a few miles away and has some good bars ( with music)and restaurants. The Noah Purifoy museum is a must see artist vision of the desert exoerience. There is much more to see and do and you will have an interesting experience no matter what road you take
