Why book direct

The same house, without the middleman

No platform service fees

Booking sites add a guest service fee on top of the nightly rate. A direct quote doesn’t — you pay the rate, the cleaning fee and local taxes, and that’s it.

A real person, from the start

You’re writing to the hosts, not a help desk. Ask about pets, an early check-in or which room has the sunrise view before you commit to anything.

15% off when you come back

Join the Stargazer list and your next direct stay is 15% off. Returning guests are our favorite guests, and we’d rather reward you than a booking platform.

How it works

Three steps, no surprises

  1. Tell us your dates

    Fill in the short request below — it takes about a minute. Mention pets, celebrations or anything you’re wondering about.

  2. We reply within 24 hours

    We confirm availability and email you a direct quote with the full total and next steps. No pressure, no countdown timers.

  3. Confirm, and it’s yours

    Complete the short rental agreement and payment, and your dates are held for you. Then the only thing left to plan is the playlist for the drive.

A request is not an instant reservation: dates are held only once we confirm in writing and the agreement and payment are complete.

Questions

Good to know before you book

Anything we haven’t covered? Ask in your request and we’ll answer alongside your quote.

Back to the request form
Is this an instant booking?

No — this page sends us a request. We confirm availability by email and send you a direct quote; your dates are held once the short rental agreement and payment are complete.

How much do I save by booking direct?

Booking platforms typically add a guest service fee on top of the nightly rate. A direct quote has no platform fee — just the rate, the cleaning fee and local taxes. If it helps, ask us for a side-by-side with the listing price for your dates.

Can I bring my dog?

Pets are welcome with prior approval — just tell us how many, and what kind, in your request. For everyone’s safety, pets stay out of the pool area.

Is the pool heated?

No. The shipping-container pool is unheated, so the water temperature follows the season — the warm months are pool season, and winter swims are for the brave. The fire pit is lovely year-round.

What are check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is from 4:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you’d like an earlier arrival or a later departure, mention it in your request — when the calendar allows, we’ll do our best.

What’s the minimum stay?

Two nights. Longer stays are very welcome — the desert rewards a slow week.

How many people can stay?

Up to seven overnight guests, including children. That’s the limit set by our San Bernardino County short-term-rental permit, so we can’t make exceptions — thank you for understanding.

Where exactly is the house, and is the road paved?

We’re in Landers, on five private acres, a short drive from Joshua Tree National Park, Pioneertown and the Integratron. The last 0.3 mile is a maintained dirt road — regular cars make the trip fine; just take that stretch slowly.

Anything else we should know before we arrive?

It’s the high desert: expect wind, dust, big swings between daytime and nighttime temperatures, and the occasional visiting critter. Desert sound carries, so outdoor quiet hours are 9 PM to 8 AM, and there’s no smoking indoors. The full house rules come with your confirmation.

Ready when you are

See you
in the desert.

Two-night minimum, up to seven guests, pets by approval. Send your dates through the request form and we’ll reply personally within 24 hours.
