About this property

Comfy Cottage With Complimentary Breakfast Bar. Pet-Friendly Fully Fenced Yard

Nestled at the edge of the Bartlett Mountains with a southern view of Joshua Tree National Park and the Eastern Mojave, yet only 2 miles from JT’s quaint village, Farmer’s Market and eclectic shops and restaurants, this comfy boho cottage features best of both worlds.

Newly renovated, this 2 bed/1 bath midcentury house, sits on a fully fenced half acre, and is close to conveniences of town and safety of neighbors, but also miles of hiking trails, which are accessible just a short drive down a dirt road (Take Wren Rd to El Coyote Lane) at the rear of the property.

The yard is kid- and pet-friendly. The property has hosted many NERF BATTLES and campouts. Set of four smore sticks are in the basket inside. Lots of board games are in the chevron cabinet in dining room. Kids will feel like they are out "in the wild desert" with campfire at night, but everyone can enjoy comfortable sleeping arrangements indoors. There are extra sleeping bags in the living room trunk.

Note about bringing along well-behaved pets: There is no additional charge for bringing your furry friend(s). At least three dog food and water bowls are in the under-counter cabinet just to left of kitchen sink. And, a two-set of standing stainless steel bowls are outside on the back patio. Responsible pet ownership guidelines apply. The large dog bed shown in pics gets washed in high-heat sanitized wash setting in between every furry guest visit.

Sleeps 5-6 adults. Inside the main house, one bedroom has a queen bed and air conditioner; the second bedroom has a queen bed and also a futon couch that converts to a full-size bed that sleeps one adult or 2 kids, plus new swamp cooler and air conditioner. Wall unit for heating puts out plenty of heat. There’s also a portable tower heater. Both bedrooms have a view of the mountains, plus, the backyard’s sprawling 400-year-old Tamarisk Tree.

The full-size, sparkling clean kitchen comes with refrigerator, electric range/oven, microwave and 4-slice toaster and is fully stocked for food prep, including spices, condiments, dishes, glassware, utensils, Calphalon pots/pans—even bakeware, plus single-serve pancake maker. A water dispenser, offers iced-cold or instant hot reverse-osmosis filtered drinking water. Slow down and enjoy the experience of making meals. Put a record on the Crosley portable turntable with bluetooth speakers and hang with friends. Pour yourself some aromatic Arabic coffee (with ginger and cardamom) and kick back bedside.

The flagstone terrace, accessible through the dining room French doors, includes a patio sofa and two chairs (seats 5), Adirondack chairs (seats 2), two outdoor picnic tables, plus charcoal BBQ and stone fire pit. And a new outdoor cowboy bath tub. Enjoy a glass of wine while you take in the spectacular sunsets or look on as friends play a game of corn hole or the kids roast marshmallows under the stars.

Our Complimentary Coffee and Breakfast Bar offers a tastefully curated selection of Keurig coffees, hot chocolate, Tazo/Teavana teas, creamers and sweeteners, plus convenient breakfast basics: flavored steel-cut oatmeal and pancake mix and organic maple syrup. There's also a portable electric dallah (traditional brewer) for preparing Arabic coffee.

During the day, unplug, unwind and enjoy the simple pleasures of getting away. Relax on the porch swing. Or, in the backyard Brazilian hammock cradled in Casa Agave’s noble Tamarisk tree, enjoying cool shade and the heavenly breezes that flow through its branches.

A new tower LG washer/dryer is available on site for your use in the laundry room (detergent is not supplied). There is also a clothesline outside.

Free WiFi, large 50-inch Roku smart TV (Netflix and other apps), Crosley portable turntable with bluetooth speakers and CD player.

Great Joshua Tree Getaway (especially with dog)

The first thing that strikes you is the lot, fully enclosed 0.5 acre, which as we had a large dog, was great. House is 2 bedrooms. Note that one bedroom is part of the Tv area. There is one bathroom, with great shower/bath that can only be accessed through the other bedroom. Overall house is bright and clean, with galley style full kitchen open to the communal area with decent size table for eating and generally hanging out. House heating is great, which is needed around this time of year. Back yard faces away from the morning so provides a nice shady area for breakfast, also has a fire pit which is nice to sit around after dinner. The location is terrific on a quite area around 3 miles outside the town. Town has a few restaurants, coffee shops and grocery stores etc.

Great weekend stay

We stayed for two nights and were there to race the Joshua Tree Half Marathon. The place was clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. The only thing I would say is to make sure you are comfy with your travel buddies, because the "hanging out" area is in one room and the only bathroom is in the other bed room. So, if someone has to go in the middle of the night, they'd need to go through someone else's bedroom. Other than that little quirk, the place was cozy, cute and comfortable.

Cozy spot

This is a cute and cozy little spot to land in Joshua tree. Looks just like the pictures. Great yard size outback with spots to relax. Also great and well appointed kitchen for cooking. I wasn't super excited about the neighborhood as a solo female traveler however.

Great house close to Joshua Tree

This is a great little house that has almost everything you might need. We used it as a base to explore the national park. The only minor issues we experienced with the VRBO were the supplies/ingredients provided were pretty disorganized and looked a bit old (ex. the charcoal bag had only a few pieces left and we ended up having to go out and buy a new bag). In addition, the air conditioner and swamp cooler are very loud but needed on to keep the place at a reasonable temperature. We didn't mind this but it could bother people who like quiet at night and need the AC on. Other than these minor things, everything else one could wish for was present and we had a great time in Joshua Tree. The house is exactly as described, the owners were responsive and helpful, and the documentation included all of the required information. Overall I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking to spend some time in Joshua Tree.

Perfection! (insert chef kiss fingers here)

Have you ever been somewhere and the smell of it just put you at ease? Made your shoulders relax and your whole body sighs? Well, this is that place. From the hammock under the tamarisk tree for napping to the star gazing at night this property is the reset you need. We had so much fun here. It is close to Joshua Tree National Park, close to Pioneertown (Pappy and Harriets) and the restaurants and the cafes nearby are wonderful. We popped by Vons on the way in and grabbed some groceries for lunches and snacks. Oh! Wine under the stars at night...heaven. I would recommend this little oasis to anyone staying in the area.

Great Stay

We had a nice time at the Casa Agave house (two couples). We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit every night and looking at the stars. The kitchen had everything we needed. It’s a short drive away from the national park. From the pictures, we didn’t realize that the bathroom was attached to one of the bedrooms which made access to the bathroom for those in the second bedroom a little awkward at night. But overall, we would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing Getaway

Casa Agave was a beautifully decorated home and the hosts added so many convenient special touches to make our trip stress free, such as a water cooler to fill up bottles before hiking, a well stocked kitchen, bathroom amenities, and tips/recommendations on local activities and eateries.

Spring Break 2021

Casa Agave is beautiful and perfect for our family spring break. It was our first vacation since Nov 2019 and it was very safe and clean. My children enjoyed, the yurt, fire-pit for s’mores and the beautiful big tree in the backyard. Hubby enjoyed breaking in the bbq girl. The boho vibes in the decor were amazing! Beth was great at communicating every step of the way and answered questions promptly and thoroughly. It was our first Vrbo rental but not our last. We would love to visit and stay at Joshua Tree again soon. Thank you Beth for the awesome stay in your beautiful home 💕

Great spot

This is a great little spot. Super cute & cozy. We went to the farmers market on Saturday morning and got most of what we needed food wise (lovely). We really enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings and when we got there it was all ready to go just needed a match. It is very clear that the hosts are super thoughtful people. Everything we needed was there (except maybe a full length mirror ). I did need to call a few times (my error) and they always got right back to me . I would definitely recommend this for a small group or family. Close to town, Joshua tree, and there are hiking/biking opportunities right around the corner. Oh! And the beds are amazing!

About the host

Hosted by Beth Salmon

Host profile image
I'm a creative and mom of two kids. I've been a book publisher, editor in chief of health magazines, screenwriter and podcaster. These days I’m enjoying designing and managing a few unique vacation rental properties in Southern California with my husband Milo. (See our two other listings on VRBO).

Milo, part Dr. Who, part Indiana Jones, is an automotive engineer, history/political science buff, actor—and was once the stand-in for Sean Connery. Born in Prague, he's lived in (or traveled to) more than 90 countries from which he's brought back incredible tales as his most prized souvenirs. Along the way, he's run into giant sea crocs, cobras and even curious orangutans!


Why they chose this property

We call our desert cottage "Casa Agave," because it feels that way to us: sweet, healing and spirited—like the desert plants that are featured in its front yard landscaping. Not far from town, but close to the mountains, this place has a unique vibe. It's a great spot to unwind, unplug and experience a slower pace. We also love the sprawling ancient Tamarisk tree in the backyard. A favorite nap spot is the hammock strung below it, where we have all enjoyed heavenly breezes. If you're lucky (and quiet) you'll get to observe a family of bunnies (they live under the shed) climbing the tree's branches at dawn and dusk. We've never seen rabbits climb a tree before!

What makes this property unique

We call Casa Agave the best of both worlds: village living and rural desert wild. We are in between the two worlds here. Just two miles from JT's eclectic town, but at the base of the Bartlett Mountains with thousands of protected acres available to hike and explore. The nights are star-filled and peaceful. The cottage beds are so comfy and the night time so quiet, that there is great sleep to be had here! And yet, with the safety of a few neighbors nearby, you won't feel like you're too far off grid, alone on an isolated homestead.
