-Outdoor Amenities-

Mornings start with a yoga mat on the patio or boots on the trail, straight out into the monument. Back home, rinse off in one of the two outdoor showers, then stretch out on a row of wood loungers facing the rock outcrops.



In warm months, the cowboy tub sits on a gravel terrace below the rock ridge for a rustic soak; it is not an in-ground pool and is closed November through March. The hot tub deck, with its breeze-block wall and lounge chairs, looks out over views that stretch as far as you can see. Come evening, fire up the propane BBQ for dinner on the covered patio, then gather around the propane fire pit as the boulders go gold and the stars come out. The property is not fully fenced.



-Living Area-

The newly built home pairs modern comforts with a rustic feel. A deep green sofa faces glass doors that open to the patio, built-in shelves hold books and decor, and a window nook makes a quiet place to read. Heating and air conditioning keep it comfortable year-round, and yoga mats are on hand for a morning stretch.



-Kitchen and Dining-

The kitchen centers on an island under pendant lights, with wood shelving and room for the group to cook together. Have breakfast at the window, sit down to dinner at the dining table beneath its chandelier, or fire up the propane BBQ and eat on the covered patio, with seating for eight and the desert beyond.



-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-

Moonlight Mile has three bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, plus an additional half bath. One bedroom has a king bed, one has a queen bed and one has two queen beds. Sliding doors in one bedroom open to the desert. One ensuite has a freestanding soaking tub beneath a big window, and another pairs a tub with a walk-in shower, both ready for tired legs after a long hike.

Pappy & Harriet's and the Old West storefronts of Pioneertown, La Copine, the Integratron and downtown Joshua Tree all make good outings from Moonlight Mile. More than 6,000 acres of the Sand to Snow National Monument begin right at the home.

-Wildlife & Safety-

The desert landscape is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, offering a unique connection to nature, but it's important to be mindful of the creatures and plants that call this area home. Guests may encounter a variety of wildlife during their stay, and while direct encounters with dangerous animals like coyotes, snakes, scorpions, bobcats, mountain lions and other desert dwellers are rare, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to keep a safe distance from these creatures when spotted. Additionally, the desert is dotted with sharp cacti and other spiky plants. For your safety, always supervise children, pets, ESAs, and service animals while outdoors. Dogs should remain on a leash at all times and be watched closely while outdoors, as they can wander into potentially unsafe situations with wildlife or plants. By booking this property, guests acknowledge the potential for wildlife encounters and assume responsibility for their safety and the safety of their group. By respecting the local environment and staying aware, you can fully enjoy the magic of the desert.
