Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Experience the ultimate desert retreat with a rare shaded outdoor patio -- enjoy Joshua Tree while protected from the elements! Soak in your private hot tub, dine al fresco in comfort, or cozy up by the fireplace as the desert comes alive around you. Nestled on 5 pristine acres with modern comforts like high-speed WiFi and powerful AC. Your desert sanctuary awaits.

The space
What Makes This Different: Most Joshua Tree rentals make you choose between blazing sun or hiding inside with AC. Our covered patio solves that - you get the full desert experience without the discomfort.

Perfect For:
✓ Couples wanting romance + comfort
✓ Remote workers needing inspiring workspace
✓ Anyone who's stayed elsewhere and wished they could actually enjoy being outside
✓ Travelers seeking privacy (5 full acres, no neighbors)

What You'll Actually Experience:
✓ Morning coffee with panoramic desert views
✓ Cozy steamy outdoor soaks in the perfect desert nook
✓ Evening fires and incredible starlit skies
✓ Strong WiFi when you need to work

Why It Works:
We designed everything around being outside comfortably. While other places have outdoor spaces as afterthoughts, ours is the main attraction.

The Bottom Line:
If you've ever wished you could experience Joshua Tree without constantly battling the elements, this is that place.

Guest access
This cabin, and the 5 desert acres surrounding it, is all yours. No shared walls/yard/fencing.

Other things to note
• The cabin is ideal for a couple, as it true the original Homesteader Cabin dimensions (20'x25').

• Pet Friendly: Yes we're pet friendly! One well-behaved dog allowed with a $60 pet fee, paid at time of booking. No dogs on the furniture. Dogs cannot be left alone in the house (unless crated) or in the yard. Please dispose of any pet waste. Failure to follow above rules may result in additional remediation fees.

• Please review our cancellation policy closely. If you’re worried about the possibility that you may need to cancel after the refund period is closed we highly recommend adding travel insurance to your booking.

• We are on Verizon Home Internet Service -- high speeds means great for remote working and video calls.

• Make sure to bring firewood on your way in, the outdoor fireplace on the patio fireplace is stellar for an evening fire.

• The last 3/4 miles to the house is on a smooth, wide unpaved road suitable for any car. 4wd definitely not necessary, please drive slowly to keep the dust down for our neighbors (both human and equine).

Neighborhood highlights

The Homesteader is located in an area known as "The Mesa" by the locals - people are drawn to its wide-open desert vistas and amazing sunsets. Most properties are on 5 acre lots, with lots of open desert in between, so houses are more scattered about. At night you'll definitely see more stars than neighboring house lights. Shooting stars abound here - maybe because you're drawn up into the night sky out here. Our nearby neighbors are two horse ranches - some days you'll see more horses than passing cars. It's a pretty magical place.

Hi! We're Michael and Jenna — a jazz musician and tech leader collab. Michael builds homes with a musician’s sensitivity, crafting spaces that move the heart. I (Jenna) spent years building systems in tech; now I obsess over guest experiences that feel both frictionless and meaningful. The result? Thoughtful desert spaces that let you sink into the moment and breathe a little deeper. ▶ Appearances: Sunset Magazine and HGTV's Tiny House Nation
