About This Home

As of April 2025

WONDER VALLEY GEM! Feel the desert magic the moment you arrive at this turnkey-furnished, artsy cabin that’s already a hit as a short-term rental (excellent reviews and history included!). Fenced for privacy and boasting no neighbors on three sides, this desert oasis offers unobstructed views of the Amboy Hills & the rocky peaks of Joshua Tree National Park in the distance. This mid century modern classic has been upgraded to contemporary standard with all new floors, mini split HVAC system (important for those hot summer days), and updated kitchen & bathroom.

Known as the "End of the World," Wonder Valley delivers a true desert escape with dazzling night skies, peace, and space to roam. Experience seamless indoor/outdoor living, perfect for stargazing, lounging, or sipping your morning coffee as the desert comes alive around you.

Just minutes from legendary The Palms restaurant and music venue, it’s a quick 10-minute drive to downtown 29 Palms for food, shops, and nightlife. The Joshua Tree National Park entrance is only 20 minutes away.
