About this property
Moon Shadow Ranch ★ Desert Medicine Retreat
Welcome to Moon Shadow Ranch. Unwind in a chic cozy cabin in the desert countryside away from the hustle and bustle. This property sits on 5 fully fenced acres with expansive views of mountain ranges and Joshua Tree National Park. The home sleeps max 5 people and has been recently updated with a unique cozy vibe for a true desert experience that offers desert quiet stillness and inspiring sunrise and sunset views. Perfect place for wellness retreat, working remote, and a relaxing getaway.
This is my personal home that I am opening to fellow adventurer's and friends. It has been true medicine to be in the stillness of the desert with expansive views watching inspiring sunsets and sunrises here. I’ve set the lighting and dinning experience to be optimal for relaxing and enjoying dinners with friends and family. There is also a full work desk area with extra monitor and high speed internet. This property is perfect for a getaway, wellness retreat, or remote work. I hope you enjoy the space and if you are looking for some r&r this is the spot.
Highlights of the property: - Stock tank pool in the summer months - Heated stock tank tub in the winter months - Beautiful views of the mountains and desert - New appliances and fully stocked kitchen (like really) - Outdoor fire pit area for sunset gazing and gathering - Sun Yoga deck for yoga or just watching sunrise/sunset - Sonos speaker - Outdoor shower on Master Patio - Coffee pour-over setup - Air conditioning and Heat - Work station and extra monitor - Washer/Dryer - BBQ with smoker - Plenty of patio and seating for relaxing in the shade
LIVING & DINING ROOM The living space has enough seating for 5, plus some floor cushions. Equipped with a large sonos speaker for enjoying your morning coffee to your favorite music. All designed for comfort and enjoyment of the views and who you are with. The classy dinning table sits up to 6 people for an intimate dinning experience with friends and family.
KITCHEN I love entertaining my friends in the desert so I made sure the house was fully set up to do so. It includes all the baking and cookware you would need plus plenty of counter space, fancy glassware and dishes. Also includes coffee pour over setup, mini waffle maker, blender, and juicer.
BEDROOM 1 – SUNRISE ROOM Extra large room with a queen size bed with space for yoga, working at the desk, or meditation under shade on the patio off the bedroom. We have blackout shades on all windows in both bedrooms.
BEDROOM 2 – SUNSET ROOM This beautifully designed room faces the stunning desert sunsets. Includes a queen bed, and a twin bed/day bed for a friend or a comfy place for reading a book.
BATHROOM The bathroom has a large chic shower, two sinks, and a relaxing himalayan sea salt lamp. The bathroom also is equipped with soap, shampoo, conditioner necessities.
OUTDOOR SPACE The outside patio has a picnic table that seats 6 people so you can choose to eat outside while watching sunset. There is an outdoor shower off the master patio, several seating areas, a BBQ that includes a smoker, and a sun yoga deck. Also the starry night sky is pretty enjoyable by a fire in the fire-barrel.

My kids and I had such a wonderful time here at the ranch. What a beautiful property - very well kept and such lovely decor in and around the home! Watching the sunrise and sunset everyday was pure magic.
Quiet, serene and secure house with all the amenities we could possibly expect. Beds were comfortable and both indoor and outdoor showers were great. All of our possible comfort needs were met. Our dog didn’t want to leave (nor did we).
Sienna's property was the most ideal weekend getaway for 3 of us, who were looking to relax in Joshua Tree and do some hiking/stargazing. Situated in Twentynine Palms, you're only 15-20 minutes from the entrance of the park, and her space is perfect to relax in during the daytime while temps were hotter. Everything is so clean, and thoughtfully curated, and we loved sitting out on the deck and watching the sunsets. Will definitely rebook for future visits!
The place was a beautiful clean sacred sanctuary in the desert with all the comforts anyone would need, Great beds, outdoor shower special and great view of the mountains.
This place was perfect for our family getaway to Joshua Tree. Close to the park and very remote. The house has an amazing vibe/style and great amenities Thanks so much for hosting
I was at Moonshadow Ranch for a bit over a week, and every element flat out exceeded expectations. The house was beautiful and welcoming with nice furniture and *comfortable* sheets. The garden was stunning, & the views all around were AMAZING (multiple spots for enjoying both sunrise and sunset) The kitchen is very well appointed (as advertised). Sienna (property mgr) was friendly, helpful, & responsive, going above and beyond to make my stay perfect. On top of everything, it was peaceful and rejuvenating (I was on a solitary retreat), exactly what the doctor ordered. So glad I chose Moonshadow for my trip, am hoping to return soon!P.S. Getting lost in the stars while floating on your back in the pool at night is not to be missed!
The house is very well decorated and fully stocked, the four of us enjoyed cooking meals and eating outside surrounded by the beautiful views, wonderful ambience inside and out. We came to visit Joshua Tree and the location was perfect to visit both entrances which was very cool! With all the space and expansive views it felt cozy and private, we hope to visit this place again as the house feels like a desert vacation in itself!
OMG! I love this property. It is so quite and peaceful. The perfect retreat. The home is so nicely decorated and comfortable. The property is beautiful with all the plants and trees. We had a great time having a fire under the stars and exploring the property for dessert animals and rocks. It was an easy drive to Joshua Tree. This is how VRBO should be! Bravo Moon Shadow Ranch!
Words cannot describe the vibe & charm at Moon Shadow
Ranch. Relaxation sweeps through your soul the moment you walk through the door. This is an amazing & secluded little desert gem I hope to frequent. Everything about the place is conducive to good rest and relaxation. The lighting, aromatherapy, kitchen, glassware, cutlery, dining table, living room, sonos speaker, bedrooms, porches & yoga deck were fantastic. Closing each day by a fire under the stars is a must. Do treat yourself to the outdoor shower under the sun, moon & stars.
My family thanks you, Sienna!
This is a wonderful place, and Sienna is an excellent host. The house is well laid out, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is fully equipped–the best I’ve ever seen in a rental– everything from a cocktail shaker to a spring-form pan.Outdoors, the place is almost a desert arboretum. Sienna has landscaped it beautifully with a large variety of desert flora and fruit trees, and there are many outdoor “rooms” to enjoy. Our grandchildren loved playing in the pool during the day, and in the evening we sat around the fire. There is excellent star gazing right on the property. It’s an easy drive to Joshua Tree National Park, where we hiked and went star gazing in the middle of the night. It’s an incredible landscape, and if you haven’t seen it, we highly recommend it. There is a good supermarket in town, and the town of Joshua Tree has fun places to explore–we recommend Sky High Pie for pizza and the coffee shop next door. Lots of places to poke around in. If you like books, don’t miss Raven’s Book Shoppe in Twentynine Palms. We hope to be back next year.
