The Creosote Cottage| A Luxury Desert Escape

Summary:

Enjoy calm and cozy days and nights at Creosote Cottage



This stunning, updated cabin in Landers feels pleasantly off the beaten track, but is conveniently located near several of the desert's notable spots.



Stay in and enjoy the comforts of the home. Relax with a sound bath at the Integratron. Have brunch at La Copine and dinner at Giant Rock Meeting Room- all a short drive away. Joshua Tree, Pappy & Harriets, and amazing Yucca Valley restaurants are just a 20 minute scenic drive away.



The Space:

Welcome to Creosote Cottage, a place created by two nature enthusiasts - a photographer and an acupuncturist. Here, we've designed a bright and inviting space that lets you experience the sheer beauty and healing powers of the desert in the most comfortable way possible. With Joshua Tree National Park only a short drive away, experience all the wonders of the High Desert while staying in our cozy cottage.



The Bedroom Retreat:

Get ready for restful nights on a king memory foam bed, complete with soft white cotton sheets. Take your pick from our collection of movies and unwind with your favorite film on the Smart TV. Gaze out the window, and you'll be greeted by acres of Joshua trees. The French doors open up to our outdoor patio.



Family-Friendly:

If you're looking to travel with your family, we have got you covered! Feel relaxed with our new pack n' play travel crib that we've added to our amenities. The pack n' play is stored in the closet. We look forward to welcoming your family.



Outdoor Oasis:

Step outside, and you'll find an outdoor paradise waiting for you. The hot tub is perfect for relaxation, and our dining table sets the stage for al fresco meals under the open sky. Lounge on the comfortable chairs, or cozy up by the fire as stars twinkle overhead. Venture a bit further, and you can while away an entire afternoon swinging in a hammock or challenging your companions to a game of bocce ball or cornhole.



Culinary Delights:

The full kitchen has everything you need for your culinary adventures, including a stove, oven, fridge, and a delightful tea and coffee station. Choose to enjoy your meals at the kitchen island or in the cozy corner nook.



Living Room Bliss:

Our living room offers stunning views and comfy seating that's perfect for daydreaming. Alternatively, peruse our selection of books, board games, and puzzles while the record player sets the mood.



Bathroom Retreat:

Our well-stocked bathroom comes with plush towels and premium, paraben, and sulfate-free toiletries, including body wash, lotion, shampoo, and conditioner.

We had such a wonderful and peaceful stay at The Creosote Cottage. The location is removed from the hustle bustle of actual Joshua Tree, which we loved. The cottage has the best desert home vibes and truly has everything you need: all the cooking supplies, spices, coffee/tea, Q-tips, makeup towels, body wash/lotion, shampoo/ conditioner, games and puzzles, an AMAZING record player and choice of records, pool floaties, corn hole, LITERALLY EVERYTHING. It’s so essential at these removed oasis’s to have all the entertainment and necessities and this cottage did NOT miss. The bed was extremely comfortable and tons of towels for a longer stay. We didn’t use the washer dryer but it’s certainly a huge perk in the dusty desert. Check- in was such an easy and seamless process with clear directions from the email info. We felt extra safe with the alarm system and blinds for privacy. WiFi was super reliable if you’re planning to WFH here! My boyfriend and I enjoyed 2 nights and 3 days here and it could not have been a more perfect amount of time. There are so many special knick-knacks and special touches from the owners travels and an array of books to look through. Some things to note (which are so minor, my boyfriend and I aren’t fussy and this didn’t affect the stay at all but something to be aware of: the water pressure in the bathroom shower isn’t the best, and the bathroom sink didn’t seem to be working and only gave us hot water.
