You've found your getaway! Spacious outdoor hang-outs, breathtaking views, comfortable beds, and more amenities than you'll have time to enjoy, all shared with our friendly husky and bossy chickens. The reviews say it all. Pull away from the chaos and just relax in the fresh desert air. Build a fire, chip some golf balls, paint a mural, or just take a nap on the Amish-made porch swing while the koi pond waterfall provides a soundtrack under panoramic mountains. Riverside Co. STR Cert. 002764.

Here’s your chance to stare into a deep, starry night as you poke glowing campfire embers, slowly warming a marshmallow (firewood and mallows provided). Then, soft beds await as you drift off to the low cull of roosting chickens (animals on call, no extra charge).

Although some spaces on the property are shared, we have added areas to allow social distancing. Even the firepit has bunches of room to spread out around the campfire. Choose between 2 propane grills in the BBQ area, 2 mini fridges, a fully stocked snack/coffee bar, and many tables and seating areas for plenty of privacy. Our 1.5 acre property offers 2 patios, a "hangout" with hammock chairs and bean bags, and a variety of lawn games and many private seating areas. Whether you want to connect with other guests, or find a private corner to relax, there's room for both.

This unique outdoor adventure has all the comforts you could hope for as you relax under the stars. Two twin beds, heated blankets (in the winter), air coolers (in the summer), power strip, Wifi throughout the property, full restrooms, hot shower, and fresh towels. The inspiring panoramic mountain views are exactly what you need to unwind and check out for a while.

Guests enjoy a variety of private spaces and 2 twin beds along with generous shared areas. Let the relaxation begin in your private cabana tent and indoor bungalow, both crafted around your comfort. Or take in the outdoor shared amenities including a dual BBQ pit (with utensils, foil, oils, small iron skillet and basic spices), the fully-stocked coffee bar (Keurig, tea kettle, microwave, and minifridge), the Chick-magnet hangout (with hammock chairs, bean bags and a clear view of the chicken yard), along with two covered patios (with porch swing, rocking chairs, eating areas and deep-cushioned furniture). The bathroom is also large and shared.

Diana and Matt enjoy hosting you at their property, and while they are welcoming to you, they also give you the space you came for. They are both available when needed and reachable through the app messenger (they keep their phones nearby all night). Even if it’s late, they truly don’t mind and are happy to help! :)

You are welcome to ask them questions about the area. They have lived in the Desert Hot Springs/Palm Springs region for more than 20 years, so they know some great little restaurants and entertainment spots throughout the valley. You can check out the guestbook on the listing for suggestions!

We look forward to hosting your dream outdoor vacation that’s just minutes from numerous spas (many of them have day passes available), excellent food and nightlife options, outlet shopping, casinos, the Palm Springs aerial tramway, endless hiking options, and world-class natural wonders like Joshua Tree National Park and Mount San Jacinto. Our position on the brink of the San Andreas fault gives us numerous options for local natural hot springs, and the mountain pass leading to Los Angeles brings refreshing winds to compliment the warmth of the desert sun. Just a few minutes outdoors will have you feeling grounded, decompressed, and ready to experience the natural wonders of the valley.
Our neighborhood has larger properties that are quiet, private, and spread out. Because of this, our location has low light pollution - on a clear night be sure to watch for shooting stars! Joshua Tree National Park is just on the other side of the hills behind our home, so be prepared to hear the true sounds of the desert night. The occasional coyote may be howling at the moon, but our property is completely gated on top of layers of privacy hedges. The only visitor you’ll be getting is our super friendly husky mix, Jessie!
Our street only serves our neighborhood, so there won’t be much traffic. We have 3 separate driveways and plenty of parking space. Two of the most popular day spas in town are less than a mile away! All other activities will require transportation. We have both a nearby bus stop and easy access to ridesharing.

A secure, on-site parking area is near your private area. There is plenty of parking, and the entire property is gated and walled.
There is a bus stop at the nearest cross road (West St.) which is about 1/4 mile walk.
Uber and Lyft both serve the area, as do many food delivery apps.

Amazing amenities for enjoying the outdoors! 2 bathrooms with hot and cold water and flush toilets. A shower, with hairdryer, shampoo, liquid soap, towels - everything you need!
Jessie is our friendly, non-aggressive dog. She loves your attention and hangs around outside most of the time. She barks to say "hello", so please be patient with her as she strikes up a conversation. Huskies are notorious talkers :)
Our night sky is amazing on property, and yet many guests will also head up to Joshua Tree late at night to see the deepest night sky you can imagine (about 45 min away).
Please help us keep your tent ant free by enjoying food and drink outside only. Please do not smoke in the tent or on the artificial putting green. If you bring cannabis, please store it in the airtight container provided so that the aroma does not permeate the tent. If you smoke, please dispose of any remnants, wrappers or butts. Thanks!

After 11pm Please keep voices and music volume down to a conversational level.

We invite you to add to our World Wall Mural. Please choose ONE block and paint anything you like! Please refrain from negative and political messages and obscenities so that we may all enjoy the gallery. Paint ONLY on the wall (not on furniture or rocks or paint sink) and be sure to thoroughly wash the brushes.

You are welcome to use the propane gas grills. If you are not familiar with the operation of a gas grill, please ask and I will be glad to assist you. Please be sure to completely close the gas valve on the tank (not only the knobs on the face of the grill) when you are finished using the propane grills.

We invite you to feel at home and be comfortable. If that involves moving any of the outdoor furnishings, please put them back where you found them.

Suitcases with wheels are not recommended. If you do have one, please do not roll it or drag it on the pathways or through the sand. It will damage the suitcase wheels and our pathways. Please carry it into your yurt.

Campfires are allowed only INSIDE the fire pit. We have a high fire danger risk in the desert and all fires must be covered by the spark arrester screen. Please do not attempt to build a large bonfire. No candles or open flames are allowed in the tent.

There is a container of water near the fire pit to dowse it when you are finished, but Please do not dowse the fire before 11pm as other guests may want to use it. Be sure to REMOVE the spark arrester screen BEFORE pouring water on the fire as it will damage the metal screen. Never leave the fire pit area without placing the spark arrester over the pit. If you are not familiar with building a fire safely, please message me for help. In case of fire emergency, there is a fire extinguisher in the bottom right drawer of the coffee bar.

Please drive slowly (5mph max) when on the property for the safety of all our guests and pets. Be sure the gates are closed as you come and go so that Jessie won’t wander out. If she happens to go out, leave the gate open and she will return on her own.

Our bathroom is shared by all of our outdoor yurts, so please be considerate of your fellow guests. Limit your time to only what is necessary during morning hours, do not leave any personal items on the counter or in the shower, and sanitize the areas you used before you leave. There are disinfectant wipes and Lysol provided for this purpose. Bins are available to store your personal items. We clean the restroom regularly as well, so our guests can expect a pleasant space. If any toiletry items or towels run out, please contact me. Although I often check, I don’t want you to not have what you need.

Finally, I hate to even have to mention this, but please be considerate of other guests and clean up your own mess or trash, especially when using one of the shared areas.

Thanks for your consideration and cooperation!
