🌵Cabin Under the Stars - Hot Tub, BBQ and Firepit🌵

The Cabin Under the Stars is a magical place tucked away in the Joshua Tree hills. This is the ultimate space to retreat, unwind, find yourself, breathe & explore. A healing, colorful environment to watch the sky, the clouds & stars at night. Miles from any cares of city life, the Cabin is perfect for a relaxing getaway. Originally part of the Mojave Rock Ranch Resort, this property is the epitome of "JT Style", in which rustic, artistic & luxury elements combine in unexpected & delightful ways.

We welcome you to enjoy lots of lounging and relaxing at the cabin. All you'll need to do it show up, settle in and you'll and start to enjoy this desert cabin.

As you enter the front gate, you will be greeted by the colors of the cabin and magic of the desert. There are private patios in the front and back, perfect for sunrise coffee and sunset cocktails. The 2 bedroom cabin (one king bed, one queen bed) has a fully equipped retro kitchen, and a custom wood stove for those chilly winter nights. Each room offers perfect views of the vast desert landscape, and abundant natural light. The cabin sits on 10 beautiful acres, with vast view from every angle and comfortable outdoor seating for a night of relaxing and star gazing.

Joshua Tree National Park entrance is 15 minutes away. In the artists' community of Joshua Tree, you can also explore the galleries and shops and grab a bite to eat.

Peaceful and Quiet

My fiancée and I stayed at the Cabin Under the Stars for 10 nights. The Cabin was awesome. Plenty of extras that we didn't expect. Hot Tub was lovely and well maintained. Also Cleaned every Tuesday. Very little light pollution, so if star gazing is your thing, you'll love it.. The AC kept us nice and cool in 40 plus degree temperatures.Beds were comfortable and linen was clean. My fiancée saw a mountain lion in the distance. Didn't see any snakes or spiders. But do bring bug spray for the flys. (No other bugs really) We will definitely be returning to Cabin Under the Stars on our next USA trip..

Cabin under the Stars

The cabin was OK but really turned off by how overgrown the yards were; the amount of "junk" laying around many parts of the yard and house, broken equipment (you can't replace the lamp shade in the living room basically hanging by threads?), the mattresses were like sleeping on rocks, holes in the walls in the bedroom, the kitchen cabinets looked like they were just thrown together and the drive up to the cabin hopefully didn't take out our suspension. Did enjoy the hot tub, star gazing at night, listening to the quiet and many animal noises (birds and coyotes) and the shower. I am sorry to give this kind of review but the cabin looked like it was pretty run down and needs alot of work. Mainly due to unpaved road unto the cabin, I would not stay here again. Thank you.

Serene Getaway

We absolutely loved this property! We had two people, but I'm sure it would be great for two couples or a family. We absolutely loved the character of the property, the location, and the hot tub under the stars. The heat worked well (it was freezing while we visited), and the cabin was well appointed with everything we needed. The cabin is also centrally located between 29 Palms and Joshua Tree, which was great for restaurant options. Overall, a great stay!

Tranquility in the desert

We wanted seclusion, peace, quiet and the stars. This property delivered it all. We have so much noise, hustle and traffic in our day to day, this place was the reset we needed. We loved the beauty of the desert as the light changed throughout the day, the visits from wildlife and the breathtaking view of the Milky Way. Thank you!

Great little place!!

Place was awesome - super cute and remote. AC was pretty loud but it worked very well which was key for us staying in the park in mid-July during a heatwave. So well set-up for guests to enjoy and close to a park entrance as well as the town. Reduce speed on road approaching home.

Cute Quirky Cabin in the Desert

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cabin Under the Stars! Relaxing in the hammock in the desert breeze was awesome. It’s about 10-15 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park. We loved hiking the park, stopping at the Joshua Tree saloon for food, then soaking in the hot tub at the cabin. There is a house right next door with a pool, but it was a non-issue. Any noise coming from them was drowned out by the fountain on the property. Despite that, there plenty of privacy. This was a cute, artsy cabin and I would recommend it!

Worked well for our needs

We were camping/traveling with a recently adopted large dog and needed a place with a fenced garden that was close to Joshua Tree. The place worked well for us on both fronts. The outdoor sitting areas were pleasant and while it was hot when we were there opening all the windows/doors and using overhead fans worked fine.There were air conditioners available but we didn't use them. There were people at the other house on the compound but they were super quiet. If they were having a pool party we definitely would have heard them. The place has a cute/funky vibe and was clean but it could use a little TLC. Kitchen is outfitted for really basic cooking (we ended up using a lot of our camping kit) and it would have been nice if there was more than one champagne glass since we were celebrating a birthday.

special desert spot

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin under the stars. Our time was spent with peace, solitude, and eclectic art. Don't bother turning on the television, all you need to watch is the scenery of the desert. The location is the perfect spot to get away from everyone, but close enough to anything you need within 15 minutes. Looking forward to coming back to get some more.

Privacy & beauty, if ready for desert environment

What caught our eye about this property was a sense of seclusion, plus its hot tub and visual appeal. It very nicely fulfilled our desires. The location is 15-20 minutes away from the central Joshua Tree town intersection, depending on how slowly you drive up the last 1.5 mile section of dusty, heavily-washboarded dirt road to get to the rental. The cabin sits less than 100 feet away from a larger vacation rental next door on the same property. However, with adequate privacy fencing and with the hot tub on the back side of the cabin, we were pleased with our solitude. We did occasionally get a glimpse of neighboring renters, either out in the parking area or while hiking around the expansive 10-acre property. Noise wasn’t an issue, but as the neighboring rental also has a pool, I would speculate that if children were present, you might hear them frolicking in the pool area. As this location is exposed to open desert, it’s good to keep in mind that the wind can kick up here, especially in afternoons, and with it comes dust. I suppose this also presents a challenge for cleaning staff. We found the essentials, including sheets, towels and dishes, as well as kitchen and living room surfaces to be clean. Bedroom curtains and surfaces, including closets, shelves and tables were quite dusty. Most disappointing was finding a wad of human hair covering the shower drain before either of us stepped in for the first time. On a happier note, someone had fun decorating here. Almost everywhere inside and outside the cabin there is something to catch your eye and demonstrate it was placed there with intent. The architecture and decor are a combination of desert rustic and fanciful. We loved it. We also took delight in the hot tub, which seemed to be well-serviced. The surrounding fencing protects the tub from wind, and it’s perfectly placed with a nearby desert tree providing a scattered bit of shade from the sun. Directly overhead the tub, the sky is open for seeing stars at night. The property management staff were friendly and responsive. They promptly answered all my questions. As hot tub cleaning is performed every Wednesday, the staff had the maintenance guy come early in the morning to accommodate our request for an uninterrupted day. I speculate that they would have also responded had I reported any cleaning issues, but we opted to surrender to desert conditions and prioritize uninterrupted time. Yes, we would stay here again. :)

Great experience

This was a great place to spend a couple nights. So quiet and peaceful. I wish we had time to use more amenities (grill, hot tub). You can see the whole sky at night. Would recommend arriving during the day, as it’s a little hard to find, even with GPS. But the owners made that clear and provided helpful directions.

Corky but good

It was surely remote and the views are breathtaking. The cabin has lots of funky light/fan knobs (some work, some don't.) The hot tub was amazing andcstar views perfect on clear nights. Wind was wicked strong and no window coverings in most rooms, so a little intimidating at night. We had a few issues which prop management fixed in a timely manner (smoke alarms missing from walls, a unwelcome insect nest outside, bad batteries in all tv remotes.) It was mostly clean, but it doesn't give the impression that the owners have been back to check on it for some time or maybe are not as involved as they can be. The internet is okay for phones, but forget the TV streaming. We did use the DVD once new batteries arrived by prop management. There are lots of movies to chose from. Overall I think The property is, as advertised as, just more rugged and farther into the desert than I expected.
