Desert retreat with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath featuring an updated kitchen and spacious private fenced front and back yards. The backyard invites relaxation with an above-ground spa for unwinding under the stars, a cowboy tub perfect for cooling off during the day, a hammock, and a porch swing, creating the ultimate desert escape. Just minutes from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, this home offers easy access to world-class hiking, rock climbing, and stargazing. Palm Springs is approximately 45 minutes away, and Los Angeles is about two hours, making it ideal for both weekend getaways and longer stays. With a proven vacation rental history and no short-term rental restrictions, the furniture is available for purchase outside of escrow, making this a turnkey opportunity for buyers seeking a full-time home or an investment as a vacation rental.
