JTGO - Ponderosa-Stars-Firepit-Amazing Views-Artsy

Welcome to my beloved Mid-Century Modern Joshua Tree retreat—your personal escape to serenity.

My beloved 1961 artist's haven, with high ceilings, polished concrete floors, and an open, zen-inspired space, is more than just a place to stay—it's an immersive experience. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac, just five minutes from the vibrant heart of Joshua Tree Village and the National Park, this retreat invites you to unwind, reset, and connect with the land.

Step outside to breathtaking desert views, framed by Joshua Tree National Park. Relax on the patio with lounge chairs, a fire pit, and even an outdoor Solar Shower. Enjoy stargazing in the expansive yard, far from city lights, or reset with a peaceful yoga session surrounded by nature.

My eco-conscious, solar-powered home sits on the East side of a duplex, offering private parking, a separate entrance, and your own secluded yard. You’ll feel like you’re miles from civilization, yet you’re only minutes away from local dining, shops, and the park.

Sustainability meets luxury here—modern amenities blend seamlessly with desert tranquility. Every sunrise brings a new adventure, while each sunset promises peace. Whether you're exploring the high desert or just enjoying the quiet of your private oasis, this is where memories are made.

Location Highlights:
5-minute drive to Joshua Tree Village
8 minutes to Joshua Tree National Park
13 minutes to Pappy & Harriet’s
20 minutes to Integratron

Feel free to explore the surrounding desert, where you’ll find peace and inspiration in the stillness. My place is your sanctuary—an intimate hideaway to reflect, rest, and recharge.

Desert getaway
Pamela's place was exactly as the pictures portray. This is a cute, eclectic desert getaway. The location was perfect for getting to the national park quickly. The morning views of the sunrise from inside were incredible. The neighborhood was quiet. There was a little noise from the unit next door but that was expected and we were respectful of each other's space. The check in and out process was seamless and Pamela gave us a ton of information about things to do in the area. I would definitely recommend this location for a Joshua Tree visit and would stay here again.

Lovely desert retreat
My husband and I just spent a beautiful weekend hiking throughout the park and had this serene getaway to look forward to every night. Everything was as described, cozy as can be, and Pamela could not have been more pleasant and easy to communicate with. We would definitely go back. Thank you, Pamela!

New year's reset
Wanted to have a one night reset with my wife and daughter on the first of the year.It was perfect. Very private at the end of the road with beautiful decor and vibe. Very quiet and low light so it was a perfect place to watch the stars during a lovely fire outside.The bed was very comfortable and overall very clean. Next time i will bring some food to grill.
