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.

Nice place. A bit out of town. Worked well for a small family. Could use a few more “pots/pans” for those that want to cook.

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!

Great weekend get away!
Loved the place. Great location. Only thing I'd do differently is drive more carefully on the dirt roads to and from the house.

Living the dream
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.

Peace and quiet
Very relaxing stay at Havalina! Especially loved having a sunset cocktail at the fence bar and enjoying the fire pit at night. The separate casita with comfy couch and the back covered porch with hammock provide spaces for quiet reading time.
