Why they chose this property
We love Our Little Desert House and really love Joshua Tree National Park and want to share the magic of the desert with others! We put our heart and soul into this house and made sure every room is comfortable and photogenic. Our backyard and side patio is our favorite feature of the house. With 4 hammocks, a fire pit, plenty of seating options, and a ton of cactus and other desert plants, we love sitting out there and enjoying the surroundings. Also, we have a water dish for the animals and bird seeds for everyone to put out. It's amazing how many birds, rabbits, lizards, and more might come by!
What makes this property unique
Our private, fenced in back yard and private patio area.
