Walk into Joshua Tree Park, 10-Acres, Spa, Cowboy Pool & Views · Casa Contenta

Summary:
Pack your bags and leave city life behind! La Casa Contenta is a newly remodeled home on 5 expansive acres with breathtaking views in every direction. Just minutes from town but far enough away to feel totally remote. Hike out the backyard through private trails leading directly into the National Park. Stargaze at night from the hot tub or pool and wake up to sunrise over rocky peaks. Whether you're coming to the desert for adventure or peace, La Casa Contenta is the perfect place to call home.

The Space:
Tucked away on 10 private acres directly bordering Joshua Tree National Park lies Casa Contenta. Restored by the owners, Drew and Schafer, who fell in love with the High Desert years ago, Casa Contenta now welcomes guests for a once-in-a-lifetime desert experience, where the National Park is literally right outside of your door. With huge, vaulted tongue and groove wood ceilings, light and fresh interiors, and complete serenity surrounding the property, this is the desert escape you've been waiting for.

The 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features 2 king Casper beds in the bedrooms, with the primary bedroom having its own on-suite bathroom. The bathrooms feature bathtub-shower combinations in both bathrooms and hotel-quality toiletries from Public Goods.

The living room's huge vaulted wooden tongue and groove ceilings are complimented by a beautiful wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cozy movie nights or listening to a record on the record player.

The kitchen features stainless-steel appliances and comes fully stocked with a variety of spices, cookware, and utensils; everything you need to cook and grill.

The true highlight of this property lies just outside your back door. Exploring the National Park is just as easy as passing through the property's back gate. After a long day of hiking, there's no better way to unwind than a soak in the hot tub or cowboy tub soaking pool or enjoying a glass of wine by the fire pit.

Nice retreat

Our family enjoyed our stay here. Especially beautiful sunsets and sunrises with clear views forever. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the stars. The property feels very secluded but is less than a 10 minutes drive from restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The host was very accommodating and commutation was great. We extended our stay for an extra night.
