About this property
Midcentury Desert Escape
This well-preserved 1950s homestead sits on 2.5 desert acres in a secluded spot on the outskirts of Twentynine Palms. The property is 15 minutes from the Joshua Tree National Park north entrance. You feel away from it all, but are convenient to all the local amenities. Enjoy quiet evenings under the stars, or kick back on the porch after a day of hiking in the park. We have one master bedroom and a bonus bedroom in a sunny alcove in the front of the house. The house comfortably sleeps up to two couples. A cozy living room features a fireplace to take the nip off the chilly nights. Eat breakfast under the shade of the pepper tree and you might spot jackrabbits, coyotes, roadrunners and quail. At night have a barbecue and then relax under starry skies and shooting stars (seriously, lots of shooting stars). Take a bath in our outdoor clawfoot tub. Perfect for a romantic getaway, artist/writer’s retreat or an adventure weekend in the park.

About the host
Hosted by Kurt Keppeler
We love to travel, especially by bicycle. There is nothing better than experiencing the landscape at 10 miles an hour. On the whole we like vacations that involve adventure and being immersed in cultures and scenes. In addition to traveling overseas we also love road trips and camping. Clare is originally from Scotland and Kurt is from Colorado.
At home we live in Los Angeles, but spend as much time as we can in the Mojave Desert near Joshua Tree National Park. After getting married in Twentynine Palms at the 29 Palms Inn we decided to buy a house out there. When we cannot be there ourselves we rent it out to others. The desert is incredible, so much wildlife and botanical life, breathtaking sunsets, stars forever and many human curiosities because it attracts eccentric and arty folk. We like hosting creative people who are interested in retreating from chaotic city life.
In our city lives, Clare manages a public art collection situated throughout Los Angeles County and Kurt makes films.

Why they chose this property
There is a serenity to this property that is unmistakeable and something we felt the first time we visited it. It really makes you feel like kicking off your shoes and relaxing on the porch. The second you arrive you feel like you are "home."
