Goat House - Cozy Space w/Hammocks &LOTS of Stars!

Summary:

Crafted with passion, character, and a touch of desert-rustic charm, Goat House is a desert getaway offering raw simplicity and true high-desert solitude. Set against expansive views of Goat Mountain, this cozy 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom hideaway provides a private front row seat to golden sunrises, vibrant sunsets, and uninhibited night skies. It serves as an authentic homestead sanctuary for couples or solo travelers looking to unplug, slow down, and connect with nature.



The Space:

The living area combines handmade wooden accents, earthy textures, and an inviting electric fireplace to create a warm, intimate atmosphere. Every corner reflects thoughtful design, from the functional kitchen with custom tiled details to a dedicated sunlit reading nook built for lazy afternoon naps. A restful queen bedroom suite paired with a modern tiled shower ensures you have all the essential comforts after a day of hiking near nearby boulder clusters.



Stepping out into the sprawling yard reveals a laid-back desert playground designed for open-air relaxation. Take a refreshing dip in the unheated cowboy tub on warm afternoons, cook dinner on the propane grill, or sway gently in the lounging hammocks as night falls. With minimal light pollution and miles of quiet dirt roads right out your back door, evenings here are made for watching shooting stars in total peace.

Guest Access:

The property and house is yours to roam and relax.



Getting Around:

We recommend traveling by car to explore Joshua Tree for maximum flexibility, as ride sharing services are unreliable. If you prefer not to drive, the local taxi service Lucky 777 is a dependable option. Our property offers free parking for up to four vehicles to ensure your car is kept secure during your stay.



Other Things to Note:

3:00PM Check-In: We'd love for you to check in before 8pm so you have plenty of daylight to settle in and get comfortable before dark.



Mini Splits: Each room is equipped with its own mini-split unit, allowing guests to individually control heating and cooling for personalized comfort.



Pets Allowed: We welcome dogs for a fee of $60 per dog, with a maximum of 2 dogs per stay. Please note that no other pets are permitted at this property.



Dirt Roads: There are ~2 miles of dirt roads to the property and we recommend a high clearance vehicle. Please drive carefully



Wifi: Desert wifi can be super spotty and can go in and out. We have the best service for our rural area but people needing full time high speed might not find those needs met here. Not suitable to work from home from this location.



Guest Policy: We only allow the number of guests listed as the maximum occupancy for this property, so any additional day guests must be requested and approved in advance. No extra overnight guests are permitted beyond those included in your reservation.



Watch your Step: This desert land holds onto bits of its past, so you may spot the occasional rusty object or piece of glass in the yard, please wear shoes anytime you're outside. You'll also be sharing the landscape with local snakes and scorpions. They want nothing to do with you, so if you see one, just back away calmly and quietly



Wood Burning Fires: We do not permit wood-burning fires anywhere on the property at any time, including in fire pits or fireplaces, due to the high risk of wildfire in our area. This policy is strictly enforced for the safety of our guests, neighbors, and the surrounding landscape,.



Desert Critters: Please keep doors closed while entering and exiting, curious critters will let themselves in given the chance. Desert wildlife is part of what makes this area special, expect sightings of jackrabbits, tortoises, roadrunners, quail, and lizards. You may also spot coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, or occasionally a bobcat or mountain lion. Most just want their space, so it's best to give them yours.



Camera/ Decibel Monitor: This property has forward-facing exterior security cameras, but there are no cameras anywhere inside the home. We also use noise decibel monitors indoors to help avoid disturbing neighbors. These only measure sound levels and never record audio.



Interaction with Guests:

We like to respect our guest’s privacy, so you won’t see too much of us - unless you need us to come by. We will be available to answer any questions you may have and to help make your stay more enjoyable.
