About this property

Welcome to Hartsville! Eclectic Cabin Retreat with Endless Views

Cradled in the Copper Mountain and on the border of Joshua Tree and 29 Palms is Hartsville. Hartsville is located on a cul-de-sac up on a hill with AMAZING VIEWS of the desert valley and the city lights below. Private 5 acres of land with plenty of room to hike and explore - BLM surrounds land on mountain. Inside - enjoy a game of pool, darts, books, games in the air conditioned house. Outside - private, serene and secluded. Relax and chill from the hustle of city life.

At night, it's a celestial paradise. Stargaze while the winds soothe you. Close to either entrance of Joshua Tree National Park and close to all the happenings 29 Palms and JT has to offer.

Hartsville is up a 2 mile dirt road off Hwy 62. Some bumpy driving - but once you get there, it is well worth it! The BEST places are off a dirt road on a hill.

The property was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. I really loved almost everything about it. However it is listed as a two bedroom and I feel that is misleading. It is a studio house. The is a master bed with curtains separating it from the living room where there is a pull out couch. I wish it was made a little clearer in the description because it made for an awkward night between my parents, I and my boyfriend having to share that space.

The house is clean, and provides a fun reprieve from the desert. When beed a break from exploring and the sun, enjoy pool/darts and a great record collection. It is a bit no frills, but comfortable and star gazing by the fire was great!

My son and I just wanted a night away - to spend time together and to check out the stars and planets with his new telescope. Hartsville did NOT disappoint! We had so much fun and literally ran out of time with all the great things in store. I felt like I was zapped back in time to the 1970's (or further!). The location was easy to find, safe to park and gain access, and from the get-go we simply enjoyed ourselves. We played pool - 8-ball and 9-ball, sifted through and played the many LP's from yesteryear. When the time was right we viewed the night sky on a moonless night. I haven't seen stars like that since our move from Michigan 8 years ago. Thank you to our wonderful hosts - allowing me to spend time with my son, and not have a worry in the world. We will be back. Guaranteed.PS - the star photos were taken w tripod, Canon DSLR and longer exposure (30 sec) and near full F-stop settings. The telescope was a 10” mirror celestron not set yet for photography but the views of nebula and other faraway places magnificent.

About the host

Hosted by Scott and Mireille Hartsfield

Host profile image
We grew up in the city and are native Californians. We found each other then found this gem out in the desert. We decided to open up our home so that others can experience the delights the desert offers.

Why they chose this property

This is our getaway from reality! We used to visit Giant Rock as kids and ride motorcycles through the desert. It was always a good time and a great place to be. Being out in the desert air, hiking though the National Park, and finding old abandoned mines and trails with plenty of surprises.

What makes this property unique

We love this property because it sits up on the mountain of 5 acres of land with incredible views. The property is warm, inviting and comfortable. There's plenty of area to hike including down in the wash, and up to the other side of the mountain to the top.

At night the breeze picks up and is the most wonderful feeling. It's incredible the amount of stars that come out. Truly spectacular.

It's far enough from the city, yet a 2 hour drive to L.A. However, you will feel like you are in a different world.
