As you approach the space you will be greeted by a giant weeping Joshua Tree that directs visitors toward the on site Tesla Charger. Upon entering you'll find a fully stocked kitchen and ample living space. A retractable 8x20 foot wall of glass offers sweeping views of the valley below and surrounding desert flora. To the northwest you have 45+ acres of undeveloped desert which gives you a sense of being "out there" while still only being 5 minutes from town. Inside you will find a space that was meticulously designed with comfort in mind from the king size Tuft and Needle bed to the vintage chesterfield couch in the living room. Unwind after a long day of hiking in the 6 person hot tub and marvel at the elusive sight of the Milky Way. When it finally comes time to retire, premium down pillows and parachute bedding will have you sleeping in and late for any excursions you may have the next day. The Location: Close to town for essentials and exploration but secluded enough to experience complete serenity. 7 minutes to the Joshua Tree Farmers Market 15 minutes to Joshua Tree National Park 15 minutes to Pappy and Harriets 20 minutes to The Integratron Guest access You will have the entire house and property to yourself. Expect ample wildlife. Other things to note -Events and Commercial Photoshoots: Please inquire as the proper permit is necessary. -Cell Service: Reception at the Rum Runner should not be a problem for most major carriers but it can be spotty in the desert. Pioneertown and some of the more remote desert areas are especially bleak -Road Conditions: Four wheel drive is not required for this stay but will take you further throughout your journey into Joshua Tree. -Hot Tub Cleaning Service Service is scheduled for Tuesdays and Fridays. This is a ~5 minute service that occurs during the day. Our technicians are incredibly respectful and if you are using the spa when they arrive, feel free to ask them to come back later. -Wildlife: You will likely experience a plethora of wildlife at the property from giant jackrabbits to yipping coyotes. Please respect them. -The Desert: The Desert is a unique experience. Expect to get dirty. Expect it to feel like Mars if you are accustomed to the city life. - Early Check-In: $75 for up to 2 hour early check, if available. - Late Check-Out: We are unable to accommodate late checkouts.
