Karen June 2025 - Five Stars Without Hesitation! One of the TOP Vacations I've Ever Had!
Nina Feb 2025 " J&B Desert Hideaway was wonderful! ... Beautifully furnished, spacious, well appointed, spotless, comfy beds, fully stocked kitchen, plush robes, towels and bedding, great indoor climate control, lovely landscaped grounds, fantastic views and sunsets and so much more! John and Bob were wonderful hosts and thought of everything to make a perfect stay!"
J&B DESERT HIDEAWAY-
We are an amazing desert experience! Feel that relaxing “Ahhh” moment as soon as you arrive, just a short drive from the 10 freeway to Morongo Valley; the Gateway to Joshua Tree.
It's all about the outdoors~
Spectacular unobstructed panoramic views of Morongo Valley, framed by the mountains of Palm Springs. Stargaze the Milky Way at night while soaking in the relaxing bubbles of our hot tub ~ enjoying the fire pit ~ or melting into a hammock. SPECTACULAR hiking trails right in our neighborhood – for those days that you don’t want to leave the house
Our house has everything, with years of renting, we thought of all the things that were never there that we wanted for our stay. And we included them.
We have been told by our guests that our place is Mid-Century Eclectic!
This eclectically decorated 1600 foot home offers A/C or Heat in each of our spacious rooms with all the amenities: Fully-stocked kitchen with all the appliances to delight a gourmet cook, a working office, spacious living room with fireplace, and a cozy and fun bar/lounge. Eat in our spacious indoor dining area, or enjoy nature on the outdoor patio complete with gas grill.
Both of the bedrooms have new king-sized beds, tons of drawer space, a large armoire, 2 night stands and a smart TV! Individual AC/ Heat control, and blackout curtains to guarantee that perfect night’s sleep.
Whether you are enjoying some luck at our slot machine, or sitting at our bar sipping a cocktail ~ you will feel that comfortable homey/Cozy vibe that will make your stay relaxing and memorable.
- 10 Minutes to Pappy and Harriet's
- 20 Minutes to Joshua Tree or Palm Springs
- Great hiking just steps just off the property
- The area is rich with activities, entertainment, and nature!
And don't forget about our NEW - PRIVATE OUTDOOR SHOWER, Soothing Hot Tub - available all year, open 24 hours. Relax those muscles after a day or hiking or sightseeing. Soak in the magical sunsets or watch the moon and the stars rise in the open night sky. And you have a very good chance or catching a shooting star streaking across our night skies, it happens more than you think.

About the host
Hosted by John and Bob

Originally from suburban Philadelphia we moved to Los Angeles in 1997, and now, Morongo Valley. Bob is an Actor, and John works in marketing. We have three children and 6 grandchildren. We LOVE travel and have been fortunate enough to travel the world! We've been renting places over the years, and always said: "If we, owned this place, we'd...." ~ so hopefully we have tended to the details that were important to us!
We are thrilled to be introducing people to this area that we fell in love with a few years ago. We visited Morongo Valley in 2020 during the pandemic to watch the Perseus Meteor shower. It was amazing ~ but it gave us a chance to explore the area so rich with artisan's shops, cafes, "Pioneertown" and the hundreds of interesting and unique venues that make this area magical. We were hooked!
We hope you enjoy our home. It reflects who we are and what we love.

Why they chose this property
The views and the nighttime sky - BREATHTAKING! The perfect location! Quiet and secluded, but close to everything. The property is in the quiet hamlet of Morongo Valley. You are a short drive from Joshua Tree National Park, Palm Springs. Close to 4 Casinos offering great food bargains and entertainment.
The location is perfectly central to the area ~ and only minutes from Interstate 10. It makes for the perfect LA getaway!

What makes this property unique
This property was a stamping station for mining in the early 1900's. There are still some remnants of that operation on the property.
The home sits alongside The Morongo Creek (now a creekbed) which you can hike either way for miles through the canyons. It is a desert experience. We have seen Coyotes, Mountain Lions, Bears, Longhorn sheep, bobcats, roadrunners, and lot of other wildlife.
A simple walk around the block is like hiking a trail along the dirt roads.
The area is rich with wonderful neighbors - many the 4 legged kind! There is a horse ranch around the corner, and you will see goats, donkeys, and people on horses throughout the sparsely populated neighborhood.
