Stay in this magical homesteader cabin with extraordinary views of Joshua Tree National Park. The cabin sits on five acres, and feels remote, but it's just 12 minutes from downtown Joshua Tree, and 15 minutes from the Park's main entrance. We're on the grid but well of the pavement — you will travel a few miles on a secure, hard dirt road to get here. Relax in the hammock and enjoy the spectacular panoramic sunset and sunrise—as well as a blanket of stars. In the wintertime, you can build a bonfire too.
The cabin, which has been featured in the New York Times 'T' travel magazine and the book 'Jackrabbit Homestead,' was constructed in 1955 and still has its original green paint. The renovated interior has a kitchen and dining area. The couch folds out into a sofa bed suitable for two. There is an outhouse and an outdoor shower near the cabin. Wireless internet is available if you require a connection to the digital world.
The cottontail rabbits, cactus wrens, lizards, desert tortoises, jackrabbits, coyotes, owls and roadrunners (and more!) that make the desert their home make a visit to this serene cabin all the more special.
The cabin is less than two miles from artist Noah Purifoy's famous sculpture garden site. The Lou Harrison House, which hosts occasional devotional, folk and avant garde music events in an intimate setting is less than 10 minutes away; the Integratron and Giant Rock are 15 minutes away. The always swinging Pappy & Harriet's BBQ and music roadhouse in beautiful Pioneertown is a 30-minute drive. We will be happy to give you directions to each of these unique places (and many others) that we frequent ourselves.
Extra guests can sleep on air mattresses or camp on the site for an additional $20/person.
Please note that we have a two-night minimum stay on all holiday weekends, and weekends (Fri-Sat-Sun) during high seasons (Sept 15-Dec 15 and Mar 1-June 15). This requirement allows us to keep our per-night rate low, so that the greatest number of folks get a chance to experience being here in the unfenced desert, under the Milky Way.
