Sun-drenched Midcentury Mod Boho Cottage With Turkish Tent

Nestled at the edge of the Partlett Mountains with a southern view of Joshua Tree National Park and the Eastern Mojave Desert, yet only 2 miles from JT’s quaint village, Farmer’s Market and eclectic shops and restaurants, this comfy boho cottage features best of both worlds. Newly renovated, this 2 bed/1 bath midcentury house, sits on a partially fenced half acre, and is close to conveniences of town, but also miles of hiking trails, which are accessible just a short drive down a dirt road (Take Wren Rd to El Coyote Lane) at the rear of the property. The charming creative space, decorated in a clean, simple midcentury desert-mod style, is perfect size for small events, showers, dinner party type gatherings, photo shoots, small workshops or as a creative meeting or workspace. The full-size, sparkling clean kitchen is nicely set up for casual cooking with friends and comes with refrigerator, electric range/oven, microwave and 4-slice toaster and is fully stocked for food prep, including spices, condiments, dishes, glassware, utensils, Calphalon pots/pans—even bakeware, plus adorable single-serve pancake maker. A water dispenser, offers iced-cold or instant hot reverse-osmosis filtered drinking water. A Keurig coffee maker and a nicely curated selection of coffees, teas and cocoas is on hand for complimentary creative beverage breaks. Perfect for small groups, the dining nook features a sun-drenched cozy corner double-bench seating around a marble tulip table with two rattan chairs. The flagstone terrace, accessible through the dining room French doors, includes a rattan patio sofa and matching chairs (seats 5), plus charcoal BBQ and stone fire pit. Our Complimentary Coffee and Breakfast Bar offers a tastefully curated selection of Keurig coffees, hot chocolate, Tazo/Teavana teas, creamers and sweeteners, plus convenient breakfast basics: flavored steel-cut oatmeal and pancake mix and organic maple syrup. There's also a portable electric dallah (traditional brewer) for preparing Arabic coffee. An additional option for creative work (Wi-Fi works inside tent) is the magical yurt/tent in the far backyard, which includes a queen-sized air mattress (down duvet), fishtrap pendant lamp and solar powered vintage string lights. The house is light, bright and sun-drenched so offers nice lighting for photo shoots and video inside. Plus, there are some nice set pieces outside, including a boho-style hammock, the yurt-style tent and a porch swing. The nearby Partlett Mountains provide a nice desert backdrop as does the focal point of the backyard: an ancient, sprawling Tamarisk tree.
