About this property
2BR Desert Cabin | Hot Tub | Near Park + Town
Relax and take it all in. Unwind and find balance on the shaded yoga pad, rinse the day away in the outdoor shower, roast marshmallows next to the mural, relax under the stars in the hot tub.
Four miles from Joshua Tree National Park, a mile from the stores and restaurants in Joshua Tree, you'll have panoramic views in every direction.
Relax and recharge at Casa de Alta Loma, a space so cozy and comfortable, you'll be fine not leaving for your entire stay.
Renovated in spring/summer 2022.
Here's what to expect at Casa de Alta Loma:
- king bedroom
- double bedroom
- one bathroom with walk-in shower
- outdoor shower
- polished & sealed concrete floors throughout
- level 2 Tesla charger giving 35 miles of range per hour
- a new Hot Springs hot tub with full-body massage jets
- enough pots, pans and baking dishes for a holiday feast
- coffee 3 ways: pour-over, French press or drip machine
- ample outdoor lounging spots
- a fire pit and blankets to stay cozy warm on cool nights
- a hammock and lounge swings
- shaded yoga pad with yoga mats, blocks and straps
- fully fenced half-acre lot
- fresh landscaping
- parking for 2 vehicles
- well-behaved dogs are welcome
- views in every direction
- super-fast wi-fi
- a dedicated workspace
- locally sourced furnishings & artwork
- stunning views in every direction
Casa de Alta Loma is a retreat to escape to.
The kitchen is fully-stocked, the living room is cozy, the outdoor spaces are numerous, the beds are comfy and the outdoor shower is luxurious.
At night, look up and you'll see the Milky Way from the hot tub or chaise loungers. Roast marshmallows for s'mores around the fire pit next to the mural, painted by local high desert artist Ana DiGiallonardo.
From front gate to entrance, Joshua Tree National Park is four miles away, the shops and stores in town are a mile away, or go nowhere and find your inner-balance from the shaded yoga pad.

Owned by Matt and Jeff:
Having a place of our own in Joshua Tree has been a dream of ours for years.
Our first time here was while passing through during a road trip from Denver to Palm Springs in 2019. We were mesmerized by the jagged landscapes and goofy-looking trees. A few months later, we made a return trip but didn’t go all the way to Palm Springs and spent a week in Joshua Tree falling in love with the town. After a few road trips a year from Denver, we decided to move to Southern California in the summer 2021, with hopes of finding our own desert-boho-chic-chill place with great views and delicious sunsets in Joshua Tree. In the fall of 2021 we found this cabin – outdated and in need of some serious TLC – and spent the next six months on renovations to turn it into what you see now.
Casa de Alta Loma is literally our dream come true! It’s not just a short-term rental property for us, it’s our get-away escape from the real world.

About the host
Hosted by Jenn
Hi! I'm Jenn and I help manage the Casa de Alta Loma on behalf of Jeff and Matt.
I grew up in New York and now live in Joshua Tree! Our family traveled the country for a year in our camper before falling in love with desert life and deciding to make JT our home.
We hosted at our home in Kingston NY while we traveled and I discovered my love of hosting.
I'm excited to host guests in the desert and to share my love of this area with others. I host guests at my own property and I also help other hosts with their properties. I especially enjoy connecting visitors with local businesses and experiences that will make their stay special while supporting the local community.
I’m also an herbalist and make herbal tinctures, plant medicine and soap in my desert studio.
Why they chose this property
We're very close to the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park and we're very central to Joshua Tree Village and the surrounding areas.
