Connect with Nature at Peaceful La Mirada House

** In compliance with the California restrictions on movement, we request that guests stay-at-home even as you are enjoying the peace of La Mirada. Multiple guests should come from the same house hold and masks are highly recommended when you venture out for essential services. Currently the home is offered with a 2-night minimum. Long term stays are welcomed for the rest of 2020, but they are not required. A 25% discount will be applied for stays over 30 days** Welcome to the La Mirada House! It is that comfortable refuge after a day of invigorating hiking and climbing in the National Park or the oasis that makes it hard for you to leave. The views from our home are magical; beautiful vistas in the daytime and plenty of stars at night. Sit on the back porch and watch the sunrise to your right while our desert cottontail rabbits provide entertainment. If lucky, a jackrabbit may join the party. The house is ideally situated between the village of Joshua Tree and the National Park on a paved road in a quiet neighborhood, very close to the many shops and restaurants of the village, just a 3-minute drive from the house. The advantage of being slightly removed from the village is the deep silence you experience. While the neighbors are there (somewhere out there!), they are far enough away to provide complete privacy. Cacti-filled lots surround the house on 3 sides. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, which works well for a group of friends, couples, or families. The futon in the living room can also be set up as a double bed. Those in your party may vie to sleep on the futon as it has an excellent memory foam mattress. Ours beds are deluxe! There is a California king bed with a high-end pillow-top mattress in the western master bedroom, a queen bed with a high-end pillow-top mattress in the Queen’s room, and two twins with tempurpedic memory foam mattresses in the bedroom with a more modern feel. There is also a futon in the living room with a memory foam mattress. The master has its own bath and the other two bedrooms share the “hallway” bathroom. The house also features a comfy living room with ‘smart’ 55” TV, a Blu-Ray DVD player (including DVDs of some of our favorite movies), a strong, wireless internet connection, a filtered-water system and ice-maker (reverse osmosis), a gas grill, an outdoor smoker/cooker for adding new flavors to favorite recipes, and a full kitchen with all of the tools for any discerning chef (blender, electric juicer, scale, pots, pans, baking accessories, etc). Complimentary tea and coffee are always available, as well as breakfast bars and microwave popcorn. The dining area is designed to be as intimate as you like, or also great for a larger gathering. The tables and chairs are intended to be moved around so you can create your own seating arrangements. There is also an outdoor dining area with plenty of seating across the back patio of the house. And please take advantage of our fantastic hot tub, complete with lights and a waterfall feature, as well as our fire pit. Either way you will enjoy the star-filled sky. Creations by local artists introduce you to what you will experience as you explore the village. We do charge an additional $20 per person per night for groups over two. Eight is the maximum number our house can bear. We do allow most pets. Please share with us the details of your pet: type, weight, feel free to send a picture if you like! We do have this pet policy*** Please be aware that only toilet paper can be flushed down the toilets. All bedding and towels are included. The entire house is yours for the duration of your stay. While we will not be at the house during your stay, feel free to contact us with any questions! We are available via email, phone, or text. We have a lot of local recommendations to share. For check-in, we'll give you a code to the lockbox to get the key and you can arrive anytime after 3 pm and check yourself in. Please leave the second key in the lock box in case you accidentally lock yourself out. Put the keys back in the lock box before checking out at 11 am. Mostly, we will interact through phone and email. During your stay you will have complete privacy. Nearby Joshua Tree is a charming, eclectic, walkable town, with one-of-a-kind art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, and even a saloon. Multiple outfitter stores offer climbing and hiking supplies, and there's a farmers' market every Saturday. You will need a car to access this area. There will be a 3-night minimum for Thanksgiving Weekend and; a 2-night minimum for Christmas Weekend; and a 2-night minimum for New Year's Weekend.
