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.

ā˜… The outdoor areas ā˜…
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.

Destressing in the desert

Beautiful relaxing property with all we needed to destress and just be. No elaborate checkout procedures (just put stuff back where you found it, run the dishwasher), real furniture inside and out so you can actually relax, beautiful views, stunning sound system, and great coffee! Excellent communication with host. We are already planning return.

A Great Desert Retreat

The property was a wonderful oasis in the desert. It was secluded yet had easy access to all amenities. Patricia, the property manager, was super helpful and responsive. I would encourage individuals, families, and business travelers to utilize this property. The fact that this property was historically significant (Red Skelton) made it even more enjoyable and unique.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
It is a spacious one bedroom one bathroom nestled in the desert between the two northern Joshua Tree entrances. Host was super communicative and the property was beautiful. I liked the specific directions to the property, especially the advisory that Google Maps is incorrect. That saved me for sure. I also like the light button labels and the comfortable furnishings. My only recommendation is a washer and dryer for people who would need them. I highly recommend the property to prospective visitors!
