Our live edge indoor and outdoor dining tables are the perfect setting for a group meal—and our fully stocked kitchen with brand new, stainless steel appliances has everything you need to prepare it. We also provide luxury amenities: natural soaps and shampoos, top-of-the-line mattresses and bedding, and six individually-zoned air conditioning and heating units, including one in each bedroom.

Outside, you can soak in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit, grill under the sun, swing in the hammocks and stare at the stars.

Guest Access:
You’ll have the entire house and private yard to yourself for the duration of your stay.

The Neighborhood:
The Desert Nomad Retreat is one of the original homes of downtown Joshua Tree, located among the famous “circle streets.” You’ll be a short walk from some of our favorite local spots, including the Joshua Tree Saloon, Crossroads Cafe, and shops like the Mincing Mockingbird and the Rock Shop where you can find crystals, gifts, and local art for sale. On weekends, the local farmer’s market offers fresh produce, grass-fed meats, and various artisan goods. Our home is a short (~10 minute) drive from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance.

Getting Around:
PARKING:
Street parking is NOT permitted by the County. Please be sure to keep all cars parked in designated parking spots in order to avoid tickets, fines, and/or towing of vehicles.

Other Things to Note:
**IMPORTANT:**
We are committed to protecting our properties and keeping up-to-date with short-term rental regulations, which is why you will be asked to complete our independent verification.

**PLEASE NOTE:**
Before your booking begins, you will need to verify your details with us to complete your booking.

HOT TUB:
We offer a hot tub with LED lighting. It is serviced and balanced prior to arrival and heated to 100 degrees Fahrenheit for your convenience.

FAMILY & PETS:
We are family and dog friendly! Children 2 years old and above must be included as part of the total guest count. Please send us your dog's breed and age when booking. We do require a $100 pet fee and ask that you agree to our pet policy. We offer dog beds and dog bowls available for your convenience. Please keep pets off of all furniture including sofas and bedding, to minimize the risk of additional cleaning charges or unforeseen accidents or damages. Please be sure to pick up after your pet and dispose of waste in the proper garbage bins located near the driveway. Please see our House Rules for more information.

EXTRA GUESTS:
Guest count must not exceed the occupancy of the property. Keep in mind there is an added $50/night (plus booking fees & taxes) per guest for additional guests if approved. Any day guests must be approved prior to arrival. Day guests must leave by 10pm and are limited to a total of 4 guests. Children are considered as part of the total guest count.

VENDORS:
Please note that the spa is serviced before and after every arrival and departure. For bookings of 3 days or more, our technicians will provide a complementary mid-stay cleaning and balance. They will not enter the home but need to access the backyard. Landscaping and gardening service is on Fridays or on an as-needed basis based on weather demands.

PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF OUR NEIGHBORS! We are in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Please follow our County’s Good Neighbor Policy of no outside noise after 10pm and before 8am. Guests must refrain from any outdoor music, noise, or other disruptions that may cause a disturbance to the community during quiet hours. Failure to respect quiet hours may result in the cancellation of your reservation without a refund.

RESPECT:
There are strict county ordinances regarding excessive noise and light pollution after 10pm. Please respect our neighbors, and refrain from loud noises and outdoor music by 10pm. The home is equipped with a decibel monitoring sensor located inside and outside of the home to ensure that neighborhood noise levels are respected. Removing the decibel monitor will result in a full security deposit loss and/or additional charges. Sink into the sounds of desert solitude, peaceful nights, and starry stars...

CHERISH:
Some of the things visitors to the high desert cherish the most are clean air, mesmerizing night skies, and the abundance of wildlife and fauna. Cigarette butts, trash and food left on the ground can hurt our precious ecosystem.

CLEANING:
Health & safety is our number one priority. Our in-house cleaning team is trained on CDC and WHO protocols. We take extra measures to ensure the home is sanitized and safe before every arrival. For this reason, we aren’t able to offer early check-ins or late check-outs. Thank you for understanding!

PHOTOSHOOTS & VIDEOS:
If you’re interested in doing a photoshoot or video shoot for commercial/business use, please share the details of your project ahead of time. You MUST get approval beforehand! If approved, we have an additional fee for licensing and usage. Photoshoots for your personal social media accounts are welcomed!

WILDLIFE:
You’re surely guaranteed to encounter wildlife on your stay including families of Quail, rare Albino lizards, insects, snakes, coyotes, and endangered tortoises and kangaroo mice. Please use caution when outside, especially at night with any pets and children.

NO SMOKING:
No smoking or burning candles. This is a non-smoking home. Any and all smoking should be kept outdoors at least 15 feet away from any exterior doors. There will be a $250 charge for anyone not honoring this guideline.

BACKYARD FENCING:
While we do have fencing around the entire property, please always keep an eye on your pets and children. Desert critters don't find fencing to be a deterrent to them in our shared habitat.

EV CHARGER:
There is not an EV charger at the home, but there is a Tesla Supercharger conveniently located in town. There is also a public EV charging station nearby at Joshua Tree Distillery, which allows charging for up to 2 hours per day.

PARKING:
Street parking is NOT permitted by the County. Please be sure to keep all cars parked in designated parking spots in order to avoid tickets, fines, and/or towing of vehicles.

PLEASE READ & AGREE TO HOUSE RULES BEFORE MAKING A BOOKING.

Perfect Spot
Four girlfriends stayed here for 3 days of hiking in Joshua National Park. The house was exactly as seen in the photos. Rooms were large, had all the amenities we needed, and was in the center of town. It was the perfect place for our needs, and we enjoyed it very much. We had a slight snafu gaining access to the house (potentially human error!) but I was able to get someone on the phone immediately and they sorted it all out quickly. It's a wonderful haven in this precious part of the country.

Perfect location with lots of space and amenities
The home is exactly as described in the listing and was very comfortable and convenient for our stay. The location is in a quiet neighborhood that is a quick walk to the stores and restaurants in Joshua Tree and an easy drive to the National Park west entrance. Other than food, we didn’t have to buy anything since the home was well outfitted with all major appliances and kitchen basics (dish soap, dishwasher detergent, coffee-making supplies, various types of cookware). The home decor and furnishings are modern and functional. Check-in and check-out instructions were clear and timely. Only downside: the driveway gate opening is narrow so beware if you have a wider than normal vehicle.

Lovely house very near the park
Tastefully remodeled house with a great kitchen and bathrooms. Hot tub was amazing, and we even grilled a steak on the gas BBQ! What's not to love?
