The bedroom in the main house has a king size bed, where you can get ready for the day ahead in a calm and quiet atmosphere. It has a walk-in closet, a dresser for storing your belongings, seating area, and an internet-connected TV for when you need some downtime.
The spacious bathroom in the main house features a double sink vanity, a generously sized bathtub, and a stand-alone walk-in shower. The vanity has two sinks, ample counter space, and storage cabinets. The bathtub is perfect for soaking in after a long day exploring the desert. The walk-in shower has a rainfall showerhead, a glass door, and provided toiletries for added convenience. The bathroom is well-lit and has tiled floors, walls, and backsplashes, adding to its overall elegance and functionality.
The sunroom is surrounded by windows for enjoying the view and includes a seating area with a Roku-connected TV, a table with seating for four, a selection of board games for entertainment, and a full-size Murphy bed for additional sleeping space.
★ The outdoor areas ★
This property offer a variety of comfortable seating options for guests to enjoy. The main seating area is equipped with a sun shade, providing relief from the harsh desert heat. Cooking enthusiasts will appreciate the propane BBQ and outdoor dining area, complete with a wrap-around bench for meals al fresco. An additional bench seating area can be found on the wrap-around patio, offering more space to relax and take in the beautiful surroundings. For those staying in the guest cabin, there is a private seating area, allowing for intimate moments and a peaceful escape.
We would love for you to experience the desert and Joshua Tree National Park from our lovely property with its separate homes and all of its comforts and coziness.
