Cottage 2 close to joshua tree nat’l park entry

My cottages were built in 1940 and are located across from the original Joshua Tree Visitors' Center (which has a cute little bookstore). This stretch of road is designated as a scenic highway and leads directly to the park entrance (3 miles south). Each cottage has a private front patio where you'll clearly view the amazing sunsets and high mountain range. The huge trees on my property divide it from the highway and often the roadrunners and coyotes can be seen traveling through the desert.

This is my home, I live here but travel quite frequently and open dates based on my travel schedule. Please honor this house as a home, it's so much more than a vacation rental to me.
