• OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
Professionally managed by Hi-Desert Dwellings

• RENTAL AGREEMENT
There will be a rental agreement sent out that will need a signature to complete the reservation

• STAR GAZING
For viewing of the night sky, it is best to keep all lighting to a minimum. This includes lighting inside the house that can bleed out the night sky. Moonless nights are of course the best.

• AC/COOLING
The house is cooled with zone controlled AC. With three separate units in the house you can control the temp of each bedroom as well as the main living space.

• FIRE
Due to the location and a current fire ban there is a strict no outside fire policy. If it is discovered that you have started an outdoor wooden fire, in a fire pit, using fireworks or other open fire means your rental agreement will be terminated and you will be asked to leave.

• GUESTS
You are not permitted to have any guests on the property beyond those included in your rental agreement unless you request and receive permission from us. That includes day guests and over night guests.

• IDENTITY VERIFICATION
You will receive a text or email from Guest Ranger that will ask you to verify your identity and submit a picture of a government issued ID and a selfie. This information will be used to verify that the booking guest matches the credit card used and to help reduce any issues with identity theft. This process is mandatory to complete the booking. The data is protected in a hash-encrypted vault following data security standards including GDPR. Data-input in the vault is encrypted in a two-way function where information is scrambled using an encryption key and unscrambled later using a decryption key. On top of that, we use hashing to add an extra layer of security using a one-way function where a unique message digest is generated from an input file or a string of text. No keys are used.

Desert retreat
Front start to finish this was what we needed and hoped for of a property. Off the beaten path, peaceful and access to everything within minutes. It was the ideal way to close out a day in Joshua Tree or any of the other trails that we ventured on. With the sliding glass door open, we fired up the grill and had perfect nights taking in the night sky. Excellent rental and highly recommend for a desert get away.

Joshua Tree trip
This house was in a perfect location to visit Joshua tree NP. We really enjoyed the interior which was retro fun. The mattresses are soft which was fine for us. Neighborhood was quiet and yard was spacious.

Quiet getaway
We were looking to escape the city for a few days and this was a great spot to unwind and relax. We loved the quiet and the cushy beds. Plenty of space for my dog to wander. The cement floors can get chilly so just be sure to pack some sandals or slippers.

Very cute place in a great location!
The place was super cute and as pictured in the listing’s photos! We loved all the decorations and it was super clean. They had everything you need to cook too. We came during the winter time and the place was equipped with functioning heaters. We especially enjoyed the board games there and would definitely stay there again!

Great little desert house.
This was the perfect place to stay for our kid-free getaway weekend and show at Pappy + Harriet's. The space was lovely, and we particularly loved the peaceful bedrooms and VERY COMFY beds. The view out of the front of the house was really pretty, too. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
