The Neighborhood:
This area is renowned for its forever vistas of the Mojave Desert and its proximity to the national park. The quiet neighborhood offers a tranquil vibe and big, open skies, so you’ll feel like you’re miles away from it all, but plenty of restaurants and things to do are within a short drive.
When you’re ready to hike, bike, or climb, Joshua Tree National Park’s West Entrance is not far away.
You can find great eats, drinks, shops, and things to do in nearby Joshua Tree Village; here are a few recommendations:
• Start your day at Joshua Tree Coffee Co., known for their famed coffee made from locally roasted beans (6-minute drive)
• Marvel at the handiwork at the World Famous Crochet Museum (5-minute drive)
• Pick up some lunch or a souvenir from the Joshua Tree Certified Farmers' Market, open Saturdays (8-minute drive)
• Find your next favorite read at Space Cowboy Books (7-minute drive)
• Perhaps close your day with the food, drinks and music offered at the rustic Joshua Tree Saloon (7-minute drive)
Up for a day trip? Don’t miss these area highlights - they’re worth the drive.
• Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum (15-minute drive) - As far from a stuffy gallery as you can imagine, this outdoor sculpture garden contains a unique collection of folk-art.
• Pioneertown (20-minute drive) - Put on your ten-gallon hat and stroll down Mane Street of this Wild West-inspired town, also known for Pappy & Harriet’s, a notable restaurant and venue.
• The Integratron (25-minute drive) - New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.
• Palm Springs (45-minute drive) - Artsy town known for vintage shopping, art galleries, and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway.
• Mt. San Jacinto State Park (90-minute drive) - Expansive, hilly landscape with foot and horseback trails surrounding 10,834-foot Mount San Jacinto.
Of course, let’s not forget about the essentials. Everything you need is within close driving distance:
• Closest supermarket: Vons (15-minute drive)
• Closest liquor store: Mike's Liquor (7-minute drive)
• Closest pharmacy: Star Pharmacy (9-minute drive)
• Closest bank: U.S. Bank (14-minute drive)
• Closest gas station: 76 (7-minute drive)
Getting Around:
This is a remote location down dirt roads, so please take it slow. While a car is required to get around, a four wheel drive car is not, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain.
Other Things to Note:
• SELF CHECK-IN: Easy self-check-in is available via the keypad on the front door - a personalized code will be sent to you prior to check-in.
• EVENTS & COMMERCIAL PHOTOSHOOTS: Not permitted without prior approval, applicable permit, and additional fees.
• SOCIAL MEDIA: If you plan on sharing your experience on social media, please mention us!
• CELL SERVICE: Cell phone service availability and quality in the high desert varies by service provider. This is particularly true in the more remote areas of Joshua Tree, Pipes Canyon, and Pioneertown. Please be prepared by enabling WiFi calling or downloading a VOIP program.
• ROAD CONDITIONS: Many roads are dirt, so please take it slow. A four-wheel drive car is not required, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain
