Unwind in a cozy studio (320 sq ft), with a really comfortable queen bed, linen sheets, and the amenities you want: smart TV you can watch from bed, complete kitchenette with drip coffee maker (coffee and decaf supplied), and a full bath. Ten-minute drive to the park entrance, and 3 minutes to groceries. It's perfect for a shorter visit or if you're just passing through. At night, the stars are spectacular.

We're Tina and Antony. We've lived in big cities and wildernesses, but settled near the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. We are renting a few houses here that we chose for their authenticity, character, location, and convenience. We think you'll enjoy. If you need anything -- advice, help, etc. -- we're here to help. Otherwise our plan is to stay out of your hair and let you enjoy the beauty of the desert undisturbed.

The house sits atop a hill near Chocolate Drop, a Hershey Kiss-shaped hill that rises above the rest of Twentynine Palms (the summit of Chocolate Drop is a pleasant and easy hike from the house). At the bottom of the hill is a grocery store and gym; five minutes away is downtown and its many restaurants and bars. About ten minutes away is the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park (the good entrance, not the clogged one in Joshua Tree village). The star gazing is stunning here. There is public transportation, but it is inconvenient and probably impossible in hot weather. Realistically, you need a car.
