Views from every window, outdoor shower, fire pit, cowboy tub, and hot tub. The house was well stocked with essentials and even some extras you wouldn’t typically see in Airbnb’s. Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend getaway destination.” -Recent Review -BEDS & BATHS- The home can comfortably sleep up to four guests in two bedrooms. The master bedroom features a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom has a queen-size bed and funky furnishings. Both bedrooms have sliding doors that lead to the back patio. Shelter 1 also has two bathrooms. The master bathroom has dual sinks with wood accents and chrome features, plus a glass-enclosed walk-in rainfall shower and plenty of hotel-quality towels. Step through the door to enter the lovely private courtyard with an outdoor shower. The second bathroom, located across the hall from the second bedroom, includes a luxurious deep-soaking bathtub. Need to do some laundry? There’s a washer and dryer available for your use. -KITCHEN & DINING- Natural elements meet modern technology in the kitchen, which features sleek stainless steel appliances and custom wood cabinetry. Appliances include a gas stove, oven, fridge, freezer, microwave, and dishwasher, and both a drip coffee maker and a French press are ready for your morning java ritual. The cabinets are stocked with dishes, cookware, and a blender. When it’s time to eat, dine in style at the table for four - or opt for a meal outside on the patio. -LIVING SPACE- The kitchen opens up to a bright, airy living room with a cozy sofa and chairs. After an invigorating hike (or a hearty meal at one of Joshua Tree’s delicious restaurants), you’ll want to kick back and relax in air conditioned comfort. Flip on the TV (DirecTV channels included), or just admire the spectacular views through the huge windows as your favorite tunes play through the Bose speakers. -OUTDOOR SPACE- Steps from the living room is your private patio, surrounded by gorgeous Joshua trees, which is an ideal place to relax. It’s up to you whether you’d prefer to soak up the rays in a lounge chair or sip a glass of California wine. When the sun goes down, nothing beats sitting around the stone fire pit with a view of the mountains in the distance. End the day with a soak in the Jacuzzi hot tub (or a refreshing dip in the cowboy tub!) overlooking the mountains in the sunset. When you’re in the mood for dinner with a view, just fire up the propane BBQ and pull up a chair at the outdoor dining table, which seats six. -ESSENTIALS- Parking is available for two vehicles: one in the carport and one in the driveway. There’s an electric vehicle charger in the carport. Shelter 1 also includes WiFi, heating, and air conditioning. Please contact us if you have any questions about the home or the area in general. We hope to welcome you soon! Guest Access: You have access to every room and feature of this beautiful home. If you need a little more space, Shelter: Two can also be rented in conjunction with its sister property, Shelter: One, which sits on an adjacent 2 1/2-acre parcel of land. This is the perfect arrangement for larger groups. https://airbnb.com/h/shelterjoshuatree The Neighborhood: Monument Manor is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the Joshua Tree area given its immediate proximity to the park and breathtaking vistas of the area’s signature Craggy Mountains and desert plants.
