About this property

JTGO - Ponderosa-Artsy-Amazing Views-Stars-Firepit

Neighboring Joshua Tree National Park, my Mid Century Modern home feels like an artists retreat with dense mature Trees and arty gardens with intricate sculptures of wonder at every turn.

Expansive ceilings and cement floors flow throughout my zen vibe living space. Still and silently quiet outside, so rare and lovely. The stone patio features a curated desert view to feel the breeze, clean air and views to forget your cares and remember your joy. The fire pit, and outside shower all encourage a reset. Stargaze from the expansive yard on a clear night and visit the Milky Way.

My beloved home is a sincere reason why people have come to Joshua Tree for many years! The unique Joshua Tree Vibe at your home away from home will have you relaxed immediately. My beloved 1961 Mid Century Modern Homestead is one of a kind and super special! A stylish, artsy designed home with a Zen vibe. Relax & reset inside and outside comfortably, High Desert views, fresh air & stargazing. Desert living with many critters and arty wonders, and, Cool Plunge and Tesla Charger (pay for what you use, just ask).

Comfort and high desert style with 2 HD Buttercup down filled velvet couches, an eating table for 2, a desk with a spectacular view, a very dreamy King size bed with line dried organic cotton sheets, a kitchenette w fridge, microwave and a convection/toaster oven. My delicious bonus room screened in porch with a futon and a hammock can also be outside sleeping for a refreshing night, reading, relaxing or a nap in the breeze. 2 outside areas just for you with a cozy fire pit, a table on the patio and nearby under the Desert Willow Tree.

Sharing the property has been a delight as you can see in reviews it's very private (as a heads up, you might have a neighbor in the west side of the house) - Palo Verde which shares 1 wall to the right of the door. You have private parking, entrance and your own yard to yourselves.

I’ve achieved the "Certified Wildlife Habitat" status and have been included in the “Desert Wise Landscape Tour”. Right on the property and beyond there is abundant wildlife such as Quail, Doves, Roadrunners, Hawks, Owl's, Cactus Rew's, Coyote's, Lizards, Squirrels and, the plentiful natural plantings make this a desert sanctuary with a variety of Joshua Trees, Cactus, Palo Verde, Ocotillo, Sage and Ponderosa Pine Trees, etc. All are well established and very interesting.

There is peace and quiet here, ahhhh... Did we already say we are very serene so you can refresh and reset?

I've created an eco forward living space almost off the grid with grey water systems, so you'll be watering the Ponderosa Pine and Sage bushes, utilizing the mini split HVAC system reduces energy consumption while providing state of the art comfort, I've got Solar Panels, so you're powered by the Sun and, tankless water heaters. The house is your oasis. Feel the space and expansive desert, enjoying the yard and sun shaded patio (a very nice hang out with a fire pit and BBQ), make sure to stargaze as I’m in a very low light area.

Committed to supporting my community, JTGO is both owned and operated by full-time local residents, providing income that fuels our local economy, we appreciate you.

Desert breeze

Place is very quaint and eclectic which is right up our alley. It was clean and all seemed well thought out. We enjoyed that anywhere we wanted an electrical outlet we had one available:) place is good, good visit.

Lovely desert retreat

My husband and I just spent a beautiful weekend hiking throughout the park and had this serene getaway to look forward to every night. Everything was as described, cozy as can be, and Pamela could not have been more pleasant and easy to communicate with. We would definitely go back. Thank you, Pamela!

Desert getaway

Pamela's place was exactly as the pictures portray. This is a cute, eclectic desert getaway. The location was perfect for getting to the national park quickly. The morning views of the sunrise from inside were incredible. The neighborhood was quiet. There was a little noise from the unit next door but that was expected and we were respectful of each other's space. The check in and out process was seamless and Pamela gave us a ton of information about things to do in the area. I would definitely recommend this location for a Joshua Tree visit and would stay here again.

New year's reset

Wanted to have a one night reset with my wife and daughter on the first of the year.It was perfect. Very private at the end of the road with beautiful decor and vibe. Very quiet and low light so it was a perfect place to watch the stars during a lovely fire outside.The bed was very comfortable and overall very clean. Next time i will bring some food to grill.

About the host

Hosted by Pamela Goodchild

Host profile image
I am from Venice, California, have lived in Austin, Guam, London and Paris. I bought this wonderful home and moved to Joshua Tree in 2016, love being outdoors and creating living inside and outside spaces, music and all types of art.

Why they chose this property

After looking at about 75 homes I did not give up. Finally, I walked in and knew this was my home, it is artistically remodeled lovingly by a woman who I think did a wonderful job of making this comfortable, very unique and very special.

What makes this property unique

There is no other house like this, the inside bottle wall, the Oversized windows, custom cement bathroom, screened in porch, the yard has several types of very mature trees, several varieties, cacti varieties, etc., that is rare here in the desert! I've got an outside shower that is solar heated too! The stargazing here is spectacular as is the vast views.
