Rumor has it our house was built by the famed western actor Alan Ladd as a secret getaway back in the 50s. There’s 5 acres, partly shaded by old mesquite trees and native Washingtonia palms that tower over rock lined paths. I recently fixed up our old 1949 tear drop camper for staying in after it had been abandoned for 30 years. It’s equipped with solar power, a gas burner, a pump sink, and a cooler. This is a place for people that love old stuff! No marble countertops and stainless steel will be found. For lovers of the funky. There’s an outhouse, an outdoor shower, and a 9 foot deep swimming pool too. We’re situated between the San Andreas fault and the the Little San Bernardino Mountains, so spectacular hikes are a short walk away. After every golden sunset, the stars do not disappoint.

Cielito on Sunny Vista is a place to getaway and enjoy the magic of the high desert. We're located between Yucca Valley and Landers, just north of downtown Joshua Tree on 5 acres. The skies are dark, the stars are bright and it's so quiet most of the time you can hear a pin drop. We are approx. 20 min from Joshua Tree National Park and Pioneertown. Previously, I had a property that included 4 raw campsites. Now that I've moved and live here full-time, I'm able to make my trailer available for others to enjoy. You'll be booking Lucy, she's a 1956 Pan Am park model, all original interior. It's like stepping back in time! I love Joshua Tree and the peace it brings and am excited to share it with others. We are dog friendly and encourage you to bring your furry friends! Property includes all the necessary amenities, a picnic bench for outdoor dining, a BBQ, your own fire pit to enjoy when it's safe to do so and a pool for those hot summer nights.

Cielito on Sunny Vista is a place to getaway and enjoy the magic of the high desert. We're located between Yucca Valley and Landers, just north of downtown Joshua Tree on 5 acres. The skies are dark, the stars are bright and it's so quiet most of the time you can hear a pin drop. We are approx. 20 min from Joshua Tree National Park and Pioneertown. Previously, I had a property that included 4 raw campsites. Now that I've moved and live here full-time, I'm able to make my trailer available for others to enjoy. You'll be booking Lucy, she's a 1956 Pan Am park model, all original interior. It's like stepping back in time! I love Joshua Tree and the peace it brings and am excited to share it with others. We are dog friendly and encourage you to bring your furry friends! Property includes all the necessary amenities, a picnic bench for outdoor dining, a BBQ, your own fire pit to enjoy when it's safe to do so and a pool for those hot summer nights. Please reach out if interested in local recommendations for food/activities.
