Tiered nightly rates for couples and solo travelers at Poolside Desert Hideaway!

Poolside Desert Hideaway is a modern Southwestern desert home with a mix of comfort and convenience near the edge of Joshua Tree National Park.

It features two bedrooms, one bathroom, a convertible sofabed, multiple patios, courtyards, and a deepwater inground swimming pool. This little retreat is located in a safe residential neighborhood on paved roads and less than 3 miles from Joshua Tree National Park entrance in Twentynine Palms.

Poolside Desert Hideaway can host a maximum of six guests with tiered nightly rates starting with double occupancy. Enter your group quantity for a rate specific to your needs.

Access your vacation hideaway through a private gate leading you to a courtyard filled with flowers, a water fountain, and visiting birds. Enter the house to find all the conveniences you seek. The family room is the spot to gather during crisp nights around a gas fireplace or settle in after a long day of excursions. The smartTV plus streaming services if you're looking to binge-watch. The kitchen is well-equipped with small and large appliances and includes coffee, teas, basic spices, and pantry items with direct access to the south patio and gas barbeque.

Control your climate comfort with a gas wall heater in the main living space along with mini-split air-conditioning for the warmer months. Each bedroom has a mini-split providing heat/AC with a ceiling fan for all-season added comfort.

The first guest room has a queen bed and a modern southwest palette to soothe your soul. The primary bedroom, also with a queen bed, includes a smartTV with streaming Apps, direct access to the bathroom, and french doors leading to the backyard and inground pool area.

Hang out under the patio reading a book, soak in the desert sun on the loungers, or take the plunge into the 10' deep water pool. You can set your own vibe for a nighttime dip with the color LED pool light but we ask that no amplified music be played and respect neighbors and quiet hours.

Each patio and front courtyard has coverings for shade and seating options to enjoy. The south patio has a table for outdoor meals, a gas bbq, and access to the garage.

The sleeper sofa is a convertible type that requires the guest to make up for use. A 2" foam topper for added comfort is provided along with a linens and pillows kit for quick deployment at bedtime.

A double garage allows for space to store your bikes or climbing gear along with parking, full laundry facilities, pool toys, and floats. Folding camp chairs available for your excursions!

The location is perfect for buzzing into town to visit local shops and eateries or grab supplies. If you're exploring Joshua Tree National Park or visiting the observatory the entrance is just 3 miles to the south. For local flair, you're just moments away from art galleries, the acclaimed Theatre 29, Tortoise Rock Casino, a self-guided mural tour, the National Park Visitor Center, Saturday's farmers market, and the newly completed Freedom Plaza in the City Centre.

If you haven't already, it's time to fall in love with Twentynine Palms and reap the benefits of shorter lines and entrance times to Joshua Tree National Park.

Perfect location

Our plan was to spend 2 days hiking and exploring Joshua Tree National Park. This home’s location was right on the route to the less busy north entrance gate. Also, the property was extremely clean and well provisioned and Susan was in constant constant with us.

Great house with anazing host

Home was perfect for our visit to Joshua Tree… so close and convenient from the home. Host Susan was phenomenal, even checking in and sending us a special tip about a space launch while she herself was away on vacation. The pictures depict the home well. It was clean and comfortable. The landscaping is beautiful and the fully enclosed, privacy fencing is awesome. We truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for Sharing your home with us.

Pretty Stay for the Perfect Weekend

This property was the best choice for our weekend birthday getaway. The kitchen was well equipped, the living room was perfect for lounging around and catching a hood Netflix movie, and the pool was the BEST feature. It was perfect for my partner and I. Too good that we’ll be back soon. The biggest plus is it’s near the Joshua Tree Park Entrance as well. I highly recommend this property.

Great Location!

Susan was incredibly friendly and responsive, and had lots of great suggestions of things to do in the park during windy weather, as well as great places to eat in Twentynine Palms. The place is so close to the park entrance and nearby lots of amenities, and the kitchen is fantastic and has everything you need. Also very clean!!

Lovely place to kick back

Fireplace advertised, but could not find anything to turn it on or light it with. Was one of the selling points for me and was quite disappointed. Otherwise we really enjoyed our stay. The beds were super comfortable and kitchen supplies a wonderful addition. The back area and swimming pool was an added bonus. Would definitely stay there again.

Awesome

Stayed a couple nights, and the house was perfect for our family (2 adults, 2 kids). It was clean, comfortable, a stone’s throw from the park, and the pool was perfect and well stocked with stuff for the kids. Susan (the host) was very accessible and hooked us up with some restaurant suggestions and the details for stargazing for our trip. Don’t know when we’ll get out west again any time soon, but we’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

An oasis within an oasis

The house and property were wonderful! The courtyard and patio space was beautiful and private. We did not use the pool due to cool weather but it was great to sit out on the pool deck and enjoy the sunshine with morning coffee. The home was very clean and had all the amenities you need. The bed was super comfortable. The location was perfect for getting into and enjoying Joshua Tree National Park. Our host was very easy to work with. Check-in and check-out process was super easy and convenient. There is a very thorough binder in the property explaining all aspects of the home and local “things to do”. Overall a great choice. We would definitely stay here again.

The home is amazing, and has everything we could ask for to make us comfortable. The home itself has a very modern desert vibe. It felt very comfortable, had everything we needed and a beautiful backyard area with a pool. My wife, kids and I sat by the pool in the mornings and enjoyed our breakfast, at the end of the day my wife and I would share a glass of wine by the pool. The house itself is beautiful and I can't really think of anything I'd change. I also found it nice that little details like coffee and condiments were available in the kitchen. The house was very clean and we felt very safe. I would definitely stay in this house again. The property owner was also extremely helpful and pleasant to work with, she provided recommendations on hikes and things to do in the area. THANK YOU!

Charming and peaceful escape from the city

This is a beautiful, comfy, and cozy bungalow, attractively decorated in a style reflective of the surrounding high desert landscape, located in a quiet neighborhood, and with lovely views of the night sky. The owner/manager, Susan, could not be more attentive and thoughtful; speaking of which, the house includes many thoughtful touches, such as condiments, coffee, and other basics in the well-appointed kitchen, and even a fresh toothbrush and shaving cream in the bathroom in case of forgetful guests. Classy, class A accommodations. Looking forward to my next visit!

Great Base to Explore JNP

This house stands out because of the care and thought put into making it an exceptionally pleasant place from which to explore Joshua Tree NP. The layout of the front, back and side yards is very private and nicely decorated. Amenities like pool floaties, folding chairs, and a well stocked kitchen add to the enjoyment of the stay. Very responsive owner/manager. This house is close to the eastern entrance to JNP, which makes access for daytime and nighttime stargazing adventures easy. If you want to go stargazing, drive into the park through the 29Palms entrance and find "Twin Tanks" location (it's on the park map). Clear and dark skies make for a beautiful display of stars and Milky Way less than 15 min from this house.

The house was immaculate. The owners thought of everything you could possibly need while you were away from home including the obvious items such as towels and linens but also every kitchen item, condiments, half n half, an extra tooth brush, spices, pool toys, pool towels. Susan was very quick to respond. The house is very close to one of the entrances to Joshua Tree National Park. Beautiful Home. Thanks!
