Cottage in Joshua Tree

Close to Park, 5 acres, Hot Tub

Before purchasing this home we were regular guests ourselves. We made this very "Sunset Cottage" our home away from home destination as we found it to be the ideal spot for a Joshua Tree get away!! One night stays are considered for week days and last minute rentals. Please write to inquire. The Sunset Cottage offers the best of both worlds- you are just under 1 mile to Joshua Tree Village restaurants and shops and 6 miles to the Park Entrance but you have 5 private acres all to yourself that offer serenity, amazing views, and the best of the desert landscape. Regular visitors include quail, jack rabbits, blue jay, road runners, and coyote. Outdoor amenities include a 5 person hot tub, outdoor furniture including a double chaise lounge, propane grill, and wood burning chiminea. Joshua Trees surround the property. Inside the quiet cottage you will find a fully equipped kitchen, wood burning stove in the open dining room/living room, a couch that folds out to accommodate 2, wifi, flat screen tv & dvd player, basic DirecTV programming, and a sound system that includes iphone hook up and a turntable with a large vinyl collection. We also keep a couple of guitars at the house. The bedroom offers beautiful views and a queen bed. The cottage has air conditioning and heat to make your stay most comfortable, and a washer and dryer is located in the detached casitas for your use. Efforts have been made to make the Sunset Cottage and property a stylish, zen retreat for guests visiting the beautiful Joshua Tree area. The Cottage is a great spot for singles, couples, or small families looking for ameninties and quiet relaxation off the grid but still close to all that Joshua Tree Village and National Park have to offer. Sorry, but we have a very strict no pet policy.

A light-filled living area features a mid-century modern orange sofa paired with dark green accent pillows. A round coffee table sits on a colorful striped rug. Large windows invite natural light, while sliding glass doors open to the patio, enhancing the connection to the outdoors.

The desert wakes up and is bathed in sunlight while you enjoy a morning coffee on the patio before your first hot pool dip.

A tranquil pond is surrounded by lush greenery and palm trees, reflecting the clear blue sky. The landscape creates a serene atmosphere, inviting quiet moments of relaxation. The area offers a peaceful view of the nearby homes beyond the water.

Josh Cottage at 29P

The year was 1946 and somebody in Twentynine Palms had the right idea--to build an adorable Spanish bungalow that simply oozed "romantic getaway to the desert," a place to take in the fresh air, the stillness at night and the stars. "Josh" as he is affectionately known, along with his partner "Tam" [an almost identical twin] is an updated version of that bungalow built so long ago. Modern in amenities, but pioneer in spirit, Josh is awaiting some special guests.
