Desert Oasis: Cozy Retreat Near Joshua Tree NP

Step into your personal desert oasis at Palms Canyon! Nestled on 5 acres in the Desert Heights area, this vibrant retreat offers stunning 360-degree views of the majestic mountains and is just a 15-minute drive from either entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. From the moment you enter, you'll be welcomed by an open floor plan that exudes a warm, vintage vibe with a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The modern kitchen, featuring vintage appliances and a dining table for four, is stocked with complimentary coffee, tea, and hot chocolate to make your mornings delightful. We welcome up to two dogs with a small pet fee of $50 per dog, ensuring your furry friends can join in on the fun. Palms Canyon offers the fastest WiFi the desert can provide, but for those needing a reliable connection for work, we recommend bringing a hotspot.

Our inviting living room, complete with a large TV, free WiFi, and a swamp cooler, connects seamlessly to a relaxing screened porch, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. Need a little extra sleeping space? The cozy daybed in a sunny nook offers just that, making it ideal for extra guests or a quiet reading corner. The primary bedroom provides a queen bed and an en suite bath, ensuring a comfortable and restful stay, and features a wall unit for cooling. The colorful primary bathroom features both a shower and bath, adding a playful touch to your daily routine. For added convenience, the house includes a washer and dryer. The second bedroom boasts a full bed, a second full bathroom, and another wall unit for cooling, perfect for accommodating family or friends.

Outside, the adventure continues with incredible amenities. Enjoy your meals on the covered patio with stunning views, cool off in the cowboy pool, or soak in the hot tub with a drink in hand. Engage in friendly games of horseshoes or bocce ball near the firepit, and end your day stargazing from the hammocks.

Situated in a tranquil neighborhood with breathtaking mountain views, Palms Canyon is your gateway to experiencing the high desert in all its beauty. The houses are few and far between, offering a sense of solitude and tranquility. The nearest store is about 10 minutes away, making it easy to stock up on essentials.

Discover our Certified Humane Short Term Rental in Twentynine Palms! Proudly certified by Save Joshua Tree Wildlife, we refrain from using rat poison or pesticides on our property, ensuring a safe haven for local wildlife. Look for our Certified Humane badge on our listing, and join us in supporting this important cause. Welcome to our poison-free oasis in Twentynine Palms!

While we utilize poison-free methods to manage pests, it's essential to note that as we are situated in the desert, occasional insects and critters may make their way indoors or be spotted on the property. Please keep doors and windows closed whenever possible to help keep them out. Please be mindful of wildlife including snakes and rodents, as well as bigger wildlife that may be passing through. The property is not fenced so you may get a visitor or two. Please do not try to interact with the wildlife, just let them go on their way.


***** NOTE *****

-Please note that a signed renter agreement is required upon booking confirmation.

-We provide the best WiFi available in the desert, though it is satellite-based and may be slower than you're used to. For those planning to work during their stay, we recommend bringing a hotspot for a more reliable connection.

-We welcome up to 2 dogs with a $50 fee per dog. Dogs should not be left unattended in the house unless crated, must be potty trained (no pee pads), and owners must clean up after them. Dogs need to be leashed when outside with the exception of the fenced area by the front door. The first $50 pet fee is included in your rate if you include the dog(s) in your reservation. An additional $50 will be charged separately for a second dog.

-The 1-bedroom studio on the property is just wrapping up its final touches and will be ready for guests in early December 2024. While some minor work may still take place between bookings, it will be done to ensure minimal disruption. A privacy fence separates the studio and main home, providing a peaceful and private stay.

Secluded and peaceful
A beautiful dwelling. Secluded yet close to amenities. Modern finishes and it was stocked with essentials. We enjoyed the privacy and the screened patio the most. We both noted that the cleanliness standard was a bit low. The kitchen shelves were very dirty, the window sill in the spare bedroom was full of sand and we noted that a few dishes needed a reclean before use. Perhaps this was a "one-off". Overall we would recommend this unit.

Great place to vist
We loved this place and really enjoyed our time, although it was a bit far from Joshua Tree Park. But, being remote was really nice. Great hosts as well who checked in on us.

Desert getaway
We loved this vacation rental. It was located away from other houses so there was privacy and few lights so we could enjoy the stars. It was well equipped for us and our dog loved being outside and walking in the desert. It is the perfect desert get away.

Adorable home base for Joshua Tree adventures
The home is just as pictured- very well decorated and stocked with essentials, clean plates/glasses, and comfortable bedding. Host was very communicative and helpful when we had questions. We would definitely stay here again - probably in the warmer season so we could enjoy more of the amenities like the screened in porch area and cowboy pool. Hot tub was great and clean- it was chilly & windy during our stay but we still managed to use it twice. Fire pit was very cute and they have blankets to take out there. The location was good for both entrances of Joshua Tree, about 15-25 mins I believe.
