Mojave Moon · Pool, Hot Tub, Pickleball, 1.5 Acres

Summary:

Mojave Moon runs on friendly competition. Pickleball in the morning, ping pong and chess by afternoon, a game of pool after dinner, all on a fully fenced 1.5-acre lot in Yucca Valley. In between, cool off in the pool, warm up in the hot tub, and let the night wind down around the fire pits with everyone at one long table. Six bedrooms, every one with a king bed, so nobody draws the short straw. Winner picks the playlist.

Lounge chairs line up for sun, and ping pong, cornhole and chess keep everyone busy between swims. When the sun sets, gather around the fire pits for stargazing. Sound travels far in the open desert, so please keep noise levels in mind, and expect occasional periods of higher wind.

The kitchen is fully equipped with Cafe appliances, including a refrigerator, oven, stove and microwave, plus pots, pans, plates, cups, utensils and the basic essentials. The spacious layout and large indoor dining table suit groups that cook together, and the BBQ grill and outdoor dining table bring meals outside.

-Surrounding Area-

Mojave Moon is in Yucca Valley, with trails to explore and Joshua Tree National Park for climbing, scenic drives and sunsets among the Joshua trees. The towns of Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree offer cafés, vintage shops and restaurants. Nights here are dark and clear, which makes the fire pits a natural spot for stargazing.

-Wildlife & Safety-

The desert landscape is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, offering a unique connection to nature, but it's important to be mindful of the creatures and plants that call this area home. Guests may encounter a variety of wildlife during their stay, and while direct encounters with dangerous animals like coyotes, snakes, scorpions, bobcats, mountain lions and other desert dwellers are rare, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to keep a safe distance from these creatures when spotted. Additionally, the desert is dotted with sharp cacti and other spiky plants. For your safety, always supervise children, pets, ESAs, and service animals while outdoors. Dogs should remain on a leash at all times and be watched closely while outdoors, as they can wander into potentially unsafe situations with wildlife or plants. By booking this property, guests acknowledge the potential for wildlife encounters and assume responsibility for their safety and the safety of their group. By respecting the local environment and staying aware, you can fully enjoy the magic of the desert.



-Security Camera-

For your security, there are exterior cameras located at the front of the house, a Ring flood light camera and a Ring video doorbell at the front door, which monitor vehicles and occupancy. A noise monitoring device is also installed. There are no cameras inside the home or facing any private areas, including the pool and hot tub areas.



-Cell Service-

Cell phone coverage is available at the property, though reception can vary by carrier.



-Damage Waiver Policy-

Each reservation requires either a refundable security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver.
