About the host

Hosted by Patricia Knight

Host profile image
I’m what you would call an “Accidental Host”. My skills as a professional photographer lead me to meeting with a gentleman who was looking to sell some property here in the desert. I’m tech savvy as well and next thing you know I’m managing his properties for him here in the desert, Maine and in Europe.

Over the years, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with more homeowners and adding their unique homes to my portfolio of vacation rentals I host.

I’ve been a resident here in the desert for 28 years and counting. Joshua Tree National Park is my “church” and my photography muse. I love sharing my passion for this arid landscape with visitors from all over the world. Whether it be sharing some of my favorite locations in the park, stargazing tips, or dining at one of our local restaurants. There’s more here to do than meets the eye. I encourage you to connect with locals and experience as much of this unique landscape while you are here.

Why they chose this property

This unique property was built in the 1930s by Helene Toland and subsequently passed down to her daughter, Lothian, and her husband, Red Skelton, the renowned comedian and artist.

What makes this property unique

Less than two miles to the 49 Palms Oasis Trail of Joshua Tree National Park and an easy 6 mile drive to the Indian Cove Nature Trail in Joshua Tree National Park
