A flowing hilltop villa with a chef's kitchen, king and queen comfy beds, oversized rain shower, full coffee station (coffee provided), lots of great spaces to relax inside and out, pond and waterfall, abundant wildlife and monumental views in every direction.

Five minutes to groceries and restaurants, 10 minutes to Joshua Tree National Park. Easy self check-in, good wifi, Level 1 car charging.

The house has a wide-open plan, with saltillo tiles throughout, high ceilings, and lots of windows, giving the house a very airy feeling and a connection to the outside. Great views from every room. Two large private bedrooms. Spacious custom-tiled rain shower. The two living rooms can be separated by a large barn door, allowing the one with two sofas to be used as a private bedroom. The patio has comfortable outdoor furniture and great views. On the other side of the house is an oasis with a pond with a waterfall that attracts many birds and animals.

The entire house and patio is yours. The 10 acres of grounds and its trails are yours to wander freely. You have a private driveway. Across our road are 40+ acres of unfenced high ground for stargazing and sunsets.

There is a guesthouse on the property that we rent out to guests, but you are unlikely to see them. Be aware that the washer and dryer on the patio may be used by our cleaning crew; they are discreet but you may see them.

If you need anything -- advice, help, etc. -- I'm here to help. Otherwise my plan is to stay out of your hair and let you enjoy your time undisturbed.

The house sits alone atop a hill on 10 private acres, with an additional 50 acres of undeveloped land around it, overlooking 29 Palms and the valleys and mountains around it. At the bottom of the hill is a grocery store; less than 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). Star gazing is stunning here, and there's lots of wildlife that gathers around the waterfall and pond.

There is public transportation, but it is inconvenient and probably impossible in hot weather. Realistically, you need a car.

We love pets, and you're welcome to bring them along, but that comes with a few caveats. Please don't let them on the beds, it makes cleaning the linens so much harder. And please please clean up after them. Thanks.
