About this property
Desert Crafted Getaway - a place to be present
The Desert Crafted Getaway is a locally owned and newly remodeled family home in Yucca Valley. We’ve been in this area since the 70’s and know how to have a good time in the desert. We are 15 minutes from the JT National Park Entrance, 11 minutes from Pappy & Harriet’s and very close to anything else you may need. Enjoy comfortable lounging in the wide spaces of our large piece of property and amazing views at both sun up and sunset. Be our guest and put our service to the test. Cue Music!!
Whether the family that you travel with is one you were born with or one that you chose, this is a family home and the place for you. I grew up in this house, it is open, spacious and perfect for a group of people who love to be together in a welcoming place. Here you’ll enjoy awesome sunsets and 360 views while sitting around the fire pit. You'll have tons of room for activities on our large piece of property and all that you’ll need for preparing large meals together, movie nights, and crafting your perfect stay. Upon booking you’ll be able to count on us for recommendations, help planning and local invites.

The entire house is yours with its bright and welcoming atmosphere and custom design. We offer three very large bedrooms and a large sunk in living room that, in total, sleeps 9 people quite comfortably. There are two full bathrooms, both with a shower tub, endless hot water and awesome water pressure (its something that I look for when I’m traveling, gotta love a strong shower). You’ll also find a full open kitchen with everything you’ll need to collaborate over large awesome meals with your people. There's lots of space for groceries and a dinning room that can comfortably seat all guests at the bar and our custom made wooden table. There is plenty of free parking on site and it is a safe area where you won’t have to worry about your things overnight.
Our home is located on a large piece of property in a very nice, quiet neighborhood in town that is minutes away from anything you may need. We are very close to all of the main local attractions including Pappy and Harriet's, thrift and antique stores, Joshua Tree National Park as well as grocery stores and so much more. Fun fact, our family has been here since the 70’s and Pappy and Harriet (the actual original owners of the restaurant) were family friends.
In the front yard you'll find a very peaceful sitting area among the trees. You’re likely to see humming birds fly in and take a sip from our feeder. Across the street our neighbors have llamas and goats that are fun to watch, the goats like to play tether ball. In the large back yard you can sit and watch our local wildlife dodge through the bushes. Looking into the back yard in the morning as the sun rises and hits the San Bernardino mountains to the west, it turns them purple and slowly lights our valley. It's my favorite part of waking up early. In the evenings you’ll find a broad sunset filled with incredible colors looming over the same mountains, there’s nothing quite like it.
These walls have a long tradition of happy smiling people and we hope that you'll keep that going.
Please note as smoking and vaping is not allowed inside the house or garage there are comfortable areas outside that are equipped for your smoking needs. You will also find places to dispose of cigarettes buts and like things.
No pets are allowed at any time No Exceptions!!

For Insurance Purposes I must mention to "use the bunkbeds at your own risk". I promise there is nothing wrong with them, just one of those things :)

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Andrew Moss
I grew up in the Southern California high desert next to Joshua Tree National Park. After high school and jr. college I obtained my business degree at California State University, Long Beach. Upon graduating I went to work for the Boeing Company in Huntington Beach California and transferred to Seattle Washington where I stayed for 4 years . My next big move was to leave the work place to travel which I did for 2 years before returning to Southern California to take care of my fathers health. At the beginning of 2020 I opened up this property as a vacation rental and have been able to share the hospitality that I've gotten around the world.
