Cali Desert Oasis w/ Hot Tub + Mtn Views!
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Set in Twentynine Palms just minutes from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, this 1-bedroom, 1-bath vacation home offers a desert-chic retreat centered on outdoor living. The unit sleeps guests in two queen beds and includes a well-equipped kitchen with microwave and coffee maker, a smart TV, and a dining table furnished with retro 50s-60s style decor. Outside, a fenced backyard features a hot tub, gas fire pit, two charcoal grills, and a furnished patio, while a covered front porch offers a quiet spot for morning coffee. The property is pet-friendly (fee applies), offers free Wi-Fi, central air conditioning, keyless entry, and washer/dryer access, and provides step-free entry throughout. Its location puts a cluster of casual dining options -- Mexican, Chinese, barbecue, and American fare -- all within a kilometer, alongside two nearby bus stops for local transit. Beyond the property, guests are close to Joshua Tree's Fortynine Palms Oasis Trail, the Oasis Visitor Center, Tortoise Rock Casino, and the Smiths Ranch Drive-In Theater, making it a practical base for exploring the high desert.
Best for
This home suits hikers, couples, and small groups seeking a private desert basecamp near Joshua Tree National Park, thanks to its proximity to the Fortynine Palms Oasis Trail and Hidden Valley Nature Trail. Pet owners will appreciate the pet-friendly policy and fenced yard, while anyone craving evening relaxation can unwind in the hot tub or around the gas fire pit after a day outdoors.
Travel tips
The park entrance is about 5.9 miles away, so plan for a short drive to trailheads and Keys View rather than walking access. Two bus stops sit within a few hundred meters of the property for local transit, and a strip of restaurants -- Mexican, Chinese, barbecue, and traditional American -- is within easy walking or short driving distance for dinner without needing to cook every night. Palm Springs International Airport is roughly 52 miles away, so budget an hour or more for airport transfers.
What guests say
Guests consistently praised the property's cleanliness and immaculate condition, along with highly responsive, communicative hosting from the Evolve team and property contact. Many highlighted the safe, convenient location close to grocery stores and restaurants, as well as the comfortable queen beds and enjoyable evening hot tub sessions. A few reviewers noted the furnishings were sparse but functional, with retro decor style, and one recurring minor complaint was that the living room sofa bed was uncomfortable to sit on. Overall sentiment was very positive, with repeat guests expressing intent to return.
