    ACCESS
    My property is about 15 minutes from Yucca Valley and 25 minutes from the Joshua Tree National Park Welcome Center. Access to the house is via a dirt road but it is only about a half mile off a very nicely paved road. Except in pouring rain or snow, any type of car should have no trouble accessing the property. There is plenty of parking (2.5 acres of it!). I have a lockbox with keys in it. You'll receive an access code the day of your check in.

    OTHER NOTES
    Use the hot tub at your own risk.

    In an effort to maintain a secure premises, the house is equipped with two exterior cameras. One is by the main door facing the main gate. The other is on the north side of the house. No cameras are located inside the house and no cameras can see the front or back porch areas. These are fully private areas.

    You are welcome to use the outdoor BBQ! It is propane and propane is provided.

    Pets are welcome but I do charge a $50 one time pet fee. Please clean up after your pet! I have doggy bags on the bottom of the coffee stand. Pets are not allowed to be unattended in the house without use of a kennel. Pets are not allowed on the furniture and in the beds. I have pet blankets in a bin you can use on the beds and furniture.

    This listing contains 2 separately permitted STR units that are being rented out together. Their permit numbers are CESTRP-2020-01129 (6 guest occupancy limit) and CESTRP-2025-00608 (4 guest occupancy limit).

We had a great stay at this home - the mini golf was a major hit with adults and kids alike, beds were comfy, kitchen was well-equipped, and the movie projector was a treat. A little further from stores/parks, but worth it and could get to places within 20-30 minutes. Would stay here again on a return to Joshua Tree

Just what we needed

House is cozy and clean. Decorated with such an eye for mid-century, modern desert vibe; we instantly felt at home and it had all the accommodations listed to make our stay easy and comfortable. Easy drive to west entrance of Joshua Tree Nat’l Park. Would definitely stay again!

Great!

A great stay in the desert. We loved the Jacuzzi under the stars and the room for our dog to run safely. If you're there in the winter I recommend some fuzzy socks or slippers because the floor is cold! But otherwise very cozy and fun.

Cozy and Private

First time using VRBO and this was a great way to start it off. Chris's property was spacious, comfy, clean, and serene. This time of year (late winter/early spring) Landers is super windy, but other than the weather doing its thing we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hot tub and kitchen were our fave parts - all the amenities top notch and a communicative host to boot!

Great spot! Easy access and very relaxing

Super nice spot, had a cozy vibe while also having plenty of space. Hot tub was great and allowed for some relaxing. Following the instructions made it really easy and we spent barely any time in dirt roads to get to it. I recommend following those and not your gps. The area itself is a neighborhood, so there's plenty of people around. We didn't care for the neighbors 4x4 and dog noise, but we had no issues later in the day. All in all a great place.

Just what I was looking for

Was looking for some fresh air & time away from constant construction noise at my house in San Diego. This place checked all the boxes! Quiet, clean and well stocked. View from the hot tub at sunset was fabulous (also appreciated the cleanliness of the hot tub). Fencing around the property was secure - I brought my two dogs and they had fun exploring/running free during the day. The record player worked - great touch! Accessing the property does involve some sandy roads but I had no issue getting around (was kinda fun, in fact & I do not have four wheel drive). I’d stay again!

Spa water

Stay was great and accommodations were good but the spa wasn’t ready for us to use on our first night. The pool technician was late and arrived once we had already arrived. Then when we got in the water smelled and was cloudy. Technician had to return and drain and refill spa so night 1 was a no go on the spa. Next night it was great!!! Beautiful sunsets and views.
