When the sun drops, gather around the propane fire pit, fire up the gas grill and carry dinner to the outdoor dining table. A hammock and patio round out the space for slow, lazy afternoons. With 11.5 acres around the home, the evenings are quiet and the night sky is wide open. In keeping with county rules, amplified outdoor music is not permitted, and all outdoor fire is propane only.

The living room is built around its fireplace, a natural place to land after a long day of hiking or exploring Pioneertown. Stretch out with a movie on the TV or simply settle in for a quiet night by the fire. A dedicated workspace and Wi-Fi make it easy to check in on work when you need to, and central air conditioning and heating keep the house comfortable in every season.



-Kitchen and Dining-

The full kitchen is set up for real meals, from a lazy breakfast to a shared dinner after a day in the park. A dishwasher makes cleanup quick, and the coffee maker is ready for your first cup of the morning. On warm evenings, take the meal outside, where the gas grill and outdoor dining table put dinner right next to the views. It is an easy kitchen for couples and small groups who like to cook together.



-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-

Jackalope Junction sleeps up to four guests in two bedrooms.



Bedroom 1 is the primary suite, with a king bed and a spa-style ensuite bathroom featuring a deep soaking tub and a glass walk-in shower. It is the kind of room that makes a long bath part of the plan.



Bedroom 2 has two bunk beds, with guests sleeping on the two lower bunks, each an extra-long twin. The upper bunks are not for use, which keeps this room comfortable for two adults or older kids.



The home has two full bathrooms, including the primary ensuite.

-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.



-Security Camera-

For your security, there is an exterior camera located at the front of the home, facing forward to monitor vehicles and occupancy. There are no cameras inside the home or facing any private areas, including the hot tub area.
