On1.5 acres & surrounded by lots of unbuilt land. Minutes to Joshua Tree & Shops
A mid-century casita amongst the Joshua tree's. A place to reflect, reset, and renew. The Desert Casita is nestled hillside on 1.18 acres with extensive mountain and valley views. Great location! Close to town however elevated and surrounded by lots of un-built land which provides ample open space and privacy. Sweeping panoramic views of the valley below. Views, Views, views!!

My roommates and I stayed for a short weekend to escape the city and we were not disappointed! Close enough to explore Joshua Tree and Pioneertown, but we were mainly there for stargazing in the hammocks <3
Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. Due to recent storms in SoCal part of the fence was down where horses occupied the neighboring yard, so I had to avoid that area with my dog staying with us but honestly wasn't an issue. Nice spot, peaceful, comfortable and quiet (as long as you don't mind the occasional horse neigh).
