About this property

5-acre homestead w/ panoramic views, amazing sunsets, comfy beds. Pet-friendly!

  • Enjoy panoramic views, amazing sunsets, and stargazing. Situated on 5+ private acres of pristine desert landscape, the property feels "away from it all" yet accessible to all desert points of interest: 20 minutes to JT Natl Park, 15 minutes to both downtown Yucca Valley and downtown Joshua Tree, 10 minutes to the Integratron, 20 minutes to Pioneertown.

    Havalina features 5.5 acres of desert land, a main house and a casita, which was the original homestead cabin on the property. The house and casita, which are both included in your rental, are joined by a large outdoor courtyard with a picnic table, gas grill, fire pit and bar stools to enjoy the sunset. The back of the house has a covered porch with rocking chairs, a hammock, and a huge shade tree that makes a magical sound when the wind blows.

    The eclectic interior is tastefully decorated with handpicked flea-market finds, vintage & reclaimed wood furniture, and unique art pieces. Both bedrooms feature endless outdoor views and comfortable real beds (1 king, 1 full) as well as ample closet space. The living room has a large sofa, flat screen TV and DVD player. There is a full kitchen stocked with basics and a small breakfast nook. The casita has a very comfortable daybed, a record player and meditation pillows—a perfect place to just relax and/or accommodations for an additional guest.

We had the most incredible trip and stay here! The house is well stocked with all the cooking supplies needed. The outdoor patio is perfect for stargazing and is incredibly peaceful. We loved it there and will definitely be visiting again someday.

Second time staying here -- a desert dream

I love Scott and Vanessa's place! It's perfect if you're looking for a house for a small group that's off the beaten path. The house is thoughtfully curated with unique art and decor, and you can tell a lot of time was spent styling the home. The backyard patio is perfect for stargazing by the fire, and the home is stocked with everything you could need! I can't wait to come back soon!

Desert Dreams

We loved getting a taste of desert living! The home was beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed to relax and escape our daily lives. We played records, relaxed in the hammock while the coyotes howled, and did some stargazing. We really felt away from it all, but it was only 15 minutes or so to shops, restaurants, and the National Park. Check in/out could not have been simpler. Highly recommend!

A Classic Experience

Our third or fourth stay, as great as the rest. You can't argue with the price and the property is just right for a small family. Always very clean and modestly provisioned, with almost everything you need to have a nice little getaway. The appliances all work well and many are new. Heating/cooling is excellent! The respectful owners do not abuse their guests with overbearing rules and the check-in experience is fully automatic.Only a couple of minor complaints: the finicky Wi-Fi and outdated electronics, which admittedly are not an essential amenity (unless you are a teenager from the city), and some of the doors are sticky or difficult to open/close.Sadly, the neighborhood is getting busier. There was a broken-down yellow school bus parked next door during our stay, and we heard the occasional sound of construction in the distance, which has an effect on the peace and quiet of the desert. This is unfortunately common for many spots in the area and something you might encounter staying anywhere around. Most of the day, it is a peaceful place to stay and this property specifically is a very beautiful spot to sit and hang out during the hours before and after sunset.

Such a lovely property off the beaten path

We loved this house so much! We felt such good vibes the moment we walked in (I mean c’mon, a light switch for a salt lamp? Love it!) the place is decorated with such cool prints and furniture, I assume were thrifted which also is a huge plus. The casita was a perfect extra room and we were even able to work from home without any troubles with WiFi. The roads are a little bumpy but the hosts made it clear which ways to go to avoid any trouble. If you stay here, wake up for the sunrise, you won’t regret it! And the snow covered mountains in the distance were gorgeous. Thanks so much for your hospitality and all your communication. Bookmarking this place for the future for sure!

We stayed here for four days in July and the property was absolutely perfect. Couldn’t ask for better host. The property was clean and organized and very welcoming. Has games and streaming stick ready to go also. The temperature was always comfortable the views are absolutely gorgeous. We slept 5 no problem. I visit here often and try to stay in different places every time. But this place is worth staying everytime.

Relaxing Escape From The City

This place was wonderful and relaxing. Spent the mornings outside talking with family and enjoying the birds come by. The courtyard was perfect for our dogs. They loved laying out and taking in the air as did we! The set up was great! Including the beds! They were soooo comfortable!! I was able to wake up rested! At night was the best! It felt so peaceful just being outside by the fire pit, and even when didn’t have the fire going on just looking at the stars brought that kid like feeling you had when you were young, and laid on the street to look at them. I can’t wait to come back next year....FYI the AC works great! And they did a great job of communicating with us. They checked in via email a few days after to make sure everything was okay. I thought that was thoughtful...thank you for your hospitality!
