family time ...

29 Palms Retreats of Indian Cove is a fully furnished three-bedroom, two-bath home with a two-car garage. Situated in a premier neighborhood of 29 Palms just outside the National Park this split-floorplan home is tastefully decorated and arranged with comfortable furnishings. Inside luxuries include vaulted ceilings, a laundry room, zoned-mini split system with AC/Heat climate control system, and a spacious interior. Outdoors you can relax under an incredible 600 square-foot patio or enjoy the park-like setting of this one-half acre fenced property perfect for privacy, campfire stories, and games.  

The home sleeps up to eight guests making it perfect for families coming to explore Joshua Tree National Park but lacking the means or desire to camp. With three bedrooms and a no-frills sleeper sofa, everyone has a space to relax and sleep comfortably. Stylishly decorated with a rustic flair you'll find all the comforts of home.  A thoughtfully outfitted kitchen is popular with guests looking to prepare dinners or pack picnic lunches. 

Researching activities or those on a working holiday have available WiFi. Sports fans, wind-down time for the kiddos, or sour weather can have you watching one of the three Televisions with Roku ready for your streaming subscriptions.  Rain or shine, our outside patio is large and set to entertain with a TV, pool and poker tables, and patio seating for six.  After excursions, relaxing around the wood-burning stove with cocktails and stories is a great way to end the day. 

your basecamp ...

Located in Indian Cove off of a paved road the home is situated on a fully fenced one-half acre providing an added buffer to the already peaceful neighborhood. The outdoor space is often in bloom with cacti and trees bringing in Hummingbirds, Roadrunners, Orioles, Doves, Quail, and other wildlife. The landscape allows for kids and dogs to play safely and includes a Horseshoe set, KUBB, and yard games for guest enjoyment. When the sun sets you can enjoy an old-fashioned campfire with log seating for roasting marshmallows while gazing at the starry night overhead. 

Escape to the JTNP boundary just over a mile south with the popular Indian Cove Campground just 3 miles up the road. Once in the park be sure to explore Rattlesnake Canyon, have some rock climbing adventures, or hike through the Wonderland of Rocks. Rated one of the best hikes of JTNP, the 49 Palms Oasis Trail is just a 5-minute drive to the east. When staying in the Indian Cove Estates, you will have easy access when traveling to either the Joshua Tree NP West Entrance or the Twentynine Palms North Entrance, both equidistance away.  With over three million visitors projected for 2024, the North Entrance is becoming the insider’s tip for shorter lines for getting into Joshua Tree National Park. 

Twentynine Palms is a treasure trove of activities and things to explore.  Sky's the Limit Nature Observatory showcases (donation-based) Astronomy many Saturdays throughout the month or take a self-guided tour of the Oasis of Murals, a city highlight.  The surrounding Twentynine Palms area features a downtown district with eateries, art galleries, shops, Saturday Farmer’s Market, and Freedom Plaza home of the New Joshua Tree National Park Visitor and Cultural Center.

Five Star Rating

"We found this house to be perfect for our visit. Our family has rented one or two places a year through VRBO for the last 12-15 years, and this was one of our favorites. The owner was very friendly and very helpful with advice about the area. The kitchen was the best equipped we've found in a very long time. We've come to a number of VRBO houses or condos that advertised that they had a fully-stocked kitchen, but these owners must be people who don't prepare anything but breakfast cereal in their kitchens. This kitchen was great! A choice of sharp knives and cutting boards to choose from as well as lots of choices for pots and pans. Everything we wanted in a kitchen, including coffee beans and a coffee grinder for our stay.

The house had a nice, open adjacent dining room and living room area with comfortable, inviting furnishings. The big back yard area also very nice, and the owner had provided several different games. After long days of hiking in the Park, we enjoyed relaxing while playing pool on the covered patio area."

Everything we needed!

"Susan was wonderful to work with and very understanding of military families as we wait for housing on base. Highly recommended!! "

~Mike 

Conveniences inside and out!

"Joshua Tree Retreats is convenient inside and out.  The home is stocked with more than any other rental we've stayed.  A full kitchen with anything you'd need to prepare a nice meal. The patio is a great space to hang out after a day in the Park playing pool, poker or by the fire."

Great touches ... that I haven't seen at other AirBnbs...

"I honestly don’t know where to begin to rave about Susan’s place. My husband, parents, and brother and his fiancée rented this house for a family New Years getaway and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Aside from being very conveniently located near the National Park, grocery store, and cute cafes in Joshua Tree, it was really the house itself that made this so stay so great. It had everything that made it fun to spend a lot of family time together at the house: bocce ball (with an enormous sandy yard perfect for the game), pool table, horse shoes, high quality bbq and very comfy patio area for hanging out. The living room was also very comfortable for spending time in with a nice couch, lazy chair, and dining chairs that could pulled around the coffee table for games and a great heating stove to make the living room toasty warm. There were also great touches in the kitchen that I haven’t seen at other AirBnbs, like coffee beans and a grinder, creamer, mixing bowls, lots of cooking pans and baking sheets (which made bbqing and cooking in a breeze), and nice knife set. Last but not least, the beds were super comfy! Thanks so much Susan for the stay and for answering my messages back in a matter of minutes! We’ll be back again in the future!”

Family and I loved it

“What a beautiful home and such a quiet neighborhood my family and I loved it. Very peaceful the pool table was a major plus had so much fun and enjoyed my weekend stay!! Thank you for hosting my family and I.”

~ Yvonne, Airbnb

We absolutely loved our stay!

The house was beautiful, clean, comfortable with so many amazing things to do right at the house!  We barely left!  Our three kids had an amazing time.  Would for sure come back!

~ Leslie N

Hits the mark and more

"While we have friends that still enjoy camping, we are in dire need of conveniences. Internet, a hot shower and a place to cook a meal makes Mamma happy. This house hits the mark and more with super cute decor, comfortable beds and has everything we needed for our family vacation.  We joined in some campfires in Indian Cove but was able to put the kids down at a reasonable hour.  It's been declared, you won't see me in a tent in Joshua Tree again!"
