2BR Desert Cabin | Hot Tub | Fire pit l Panoramic Views l Near Park + Town | Cabin in Joshua Tree

Relax, recharge & settle into the slower rhythm of the desert at Casa de Alta Loma. Set on the edge of Joshua Tree Village with panoramic views toward Joshua Tree National Park, you're just 4 miles from the park entrance and 1 mile from downtown shops, coffee & restaurants.
- Thoughtfully designed interiors for slow mornings & cozy nights
- Multiple outdoor spaces to find your spot—lounge, gather, exhale & catch a delicious desert sunset

The park is close. Town is closer. But once you settle in, you may find there's nowhere else you need to be. Pick up a book by a local author, cook something you love, find your spot outside & let the desert do its thing. Sometimes the best plan is no plan at all.
STAY AWHILE
Step inside & make yourself at home—thoughtful design meets laid-back desert comfort in a space meant to be enjoyed, not just admired. Put on a record, pick up a book by a local author or curl up on the sectional for a favorite show or movie. Casa de Alta Loma was made for slowing down, settling in & staying awhile.

OUR STORY
Hi, we're Matt + Jeff—the owners of Casa de Alta Loma. This place started with a road trip. We first passed through Joshua Tree in 2019 on our way from Denver to Palm Springs and couldn't stop thinking about the jagged landscape, those wonderfully strange Joshua trees & the feeling of being out here. A few months later, we came back—this time making Joshua Tree the destination—and fell in love with the place.
After a few years of desert road trips, we moved to Southern California and eventually found this little cabin in 2021. It needed plenty of love, but we saw what it could become. We spent the next six months bringing it back to life and creating the modern desert home with the coziness of a cabin we'd been dreaming about.
Casa de Alta Loma is still our own place to get away, settle in & reconnect with the desert—and we love getting to share a little piece of that with you.
MANAGED BY SOLN
Along the way, we discovered how much we loved hosting & giving others the chance to experience the Joshua Tree we've come to love. That eventually led us to start Soln, our local hospitality company, so we could bring the same care to other special homes throughout the High Desert.
So when you hear from Soln during your stay, you're still hearing from us—Matt + Jeff, the owners of Casa de Alta Loma and the founders of Soln.

Maximum occupancy: 4 guests
Maximum vehicles: 2
Quiet hours: 10 PM–7 AM. Sound travels surprisingly far in the open desert, and respecting quiet hours is especially important to our neighbors and required by San Bernardino County. Please keep outdoor noise to a minimum during these hours.
Desert environment: Casa de Alta Loma is located in the desert, where insects, lizards, snakes and other wildlife are a natural part of the environment. Please keep doors and screens closed so our desert neighbors can remain in their natural habitat—and out of the cabin.
Propane fire pit: The outdoor fire pit is propane, so there's no need to bring or purchase firewood.
Washer + outdoor shower: Both drain directly into the backyard, where the water helps nourish the desert landscaping. Please use only the products provided—no bleach, harsh chemicals or other soaps/detergents.
Weather + utilities: Desert weather can be unpredictable, and occasional power, internet or other utility interruptions may occur. Weather conditions and utility outages outside of our control do not qualify for refunds.
PROPERTY SERVICE
Our goal is to give you the most private & uninterrupted stay possible. Occasionally, scheduled service—or something unexpected that needs our attention—may require brief access to the outdoor areas of the property.
Hot tub: Serviced every Tuesday + Friday. If your stay falls on one of these days, you may see our technician, who will let himself through the gate and is typically there for less than 10 minutes. Please refrain from using the hot tub immediately after service, as chemical levels may temporarily be elevated.
Landscaping: Scheduled every other Tuesday. Landscapers will access the outdoor areas of the property during their visit.
Trash: Collected Monday mornings. Our service provider handles everything and will briefly enter through the front gate to retrieve the trash containers.
EXTERIOR SECURITY CAMERAS For the safety and security of the property, Casa de Alta Loma has two exterior security cameras: one directed toward the front door and one directed toward the front driveway/gate. There are no cameras inside the home.
HOUSE RULES SECTION
