The space
The Original Joshua Tree Homsteader Cabin! Located in peaceful north Joshua Tree, enjoy the solitude and serenity of the Western Frontier in style + modern amenities on 5 acres. This is one of an oldest modernized homesteads left in California - upgraded for new Western experiences. There are a few outbuildings, non of which are shared with anyone / rented separately.

The property includes both the Main Cabin as well as the back Guest Cabin. The Main Cabin has a fun kitchen (fridge, microwave, gas cooktop, toaster oven, coffee maker with coffee, kettle, as well as pots/pans/cutlery, a new huge bathroom, the dining area, the bed area with a 50inch 4k TV, and fantastic WiFi. The mini satellite back Cabin / 2nd Bedroom has incredible desert and mountain views from your cozy bed. Both areas are cooled and heated. The original outhouse is a Pioneertown-like 2nd bathroom retrofitted with a fully flushable toilet.

All photography / commercial use must have written permission before booking property.

The cabin has been featured in several magazines and is filled with art collected over many decades from places far and local.

Guest access
The entire property will be solely for your use with none of it shared.

Other things to note
No part of the property is shared with other guests. The house is ideally situated on a docile section of less than 1 mile of dirt road. Being in a remote location in the Mojave Desert, the house's setting is 'wild' - there can be ants, spiders, flying bugs, etc. Even after 9 years of living here, the desert can be very unpredictable. We do our best to keep pests at bay, with keeping the doors closed especially at night the most important thing on the guest end. Given nature’s unpredictability we are available and present to help but do not give refunds for anything nature-wise that might pop up.

I'm Ryan, I've been out in Joshua Tree since 2013. Falling in love with the high desert took me by surprise. It's incredibly peaceful, calm, serene, and inspirational. It's a great place to get away from it all and discover your connections with nature and with yourself. I have a few places out here, all projects that I bought in rundown rough shape and fixed up myself. My first one is the Park Boulevard House in the Joshua Tree Village. It has a main house (for up to 4 people) and also the Guest House can be added on. They can both be rented together (6-7 people, the + the Guest House listing). The house is walking distance to the little town: the Saloon, Crossroads, the local Farmer's market, the National Park Visitor's center, the JT Health Foods store and just a few minutes drive to the Park. The other ones are all within 15 minutes from the town, and the Leeds Cabin is 25 minutes. Starfire has an unmatched setting - perched on top of a hill, the only house on that hill, overlooking its own private mini canyon. The design and feeling at the Original Homesteader Cabin is the most 'frontier'' - a true feeling of being a pioneer in a 1950s cabin. The cabin recently not a brand new large bathroom. The Whitmore House is all about sleek modern minimal design, a clutter-free experience that brings out the gorgeous desert colors in the mountains that surround. The Leeds Cabin is a small all-you-need-in-the-world cabin with nothing but beautiful quiet desert surrounds. My beloved Outpost is an idyllic home on the range, quintessential Joshua Tree cabin. The historic Paxton Ranch sits on 16 Joshua-Tree-abundant acres, with gorgeous views and easy access to civilization. The Joshua Tree House Flamingo, took an abandoned house and saw it come back to life. It is architecturally unique both inside and out. The Prescott House is truly a luxurious desert experience with unreal views in every direction. My most recent project, the SkyView House, boasts the most unreal views of the entire valley of any house in the area. The houses have been important and valued stages in my life. They have helped shape who I am today. I'd be happy to help plan your time out here, and let me know if you have any questions about the projects or the area in general. They are much more than 'airbnb's to me - I love each and every one of them! @joshuatreestays
