Le logement
The Ocotillo is a midcentury open plan, sunlit house providing a unique Airbnb experience, giving you the opportunity to stay at the private residence and art gallery of Los Angeles architect and interior designer Lara Hoad. The personal contents of this property have been collected and curated over many years and the space continues to be used as a place of inspiration for those that visit and artists that stay for residencies. The interior consists of a series of spaces to socialize and relax in, including a generous living and dining room with a record player, a cozy den with daybeds and a wood burning stove for chilly evenings, and a private office/study with large desk, daybed and sunset view. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you will need to cook and an ample wood island to prep and gather at. On the outside, practice yoga using the house mats on the large deck with an integrated hot tub and expanded horizon sunrise views. There is a sun-shaded dining area, a cowboy tub for hot days (summer season only May- Sept) and firepit for chilly evenings. In the adjacent building you will find the art gallery which guests will have private access to during their stay. There is a half bathroom here too in addition to the bathroom in the main house. The next exhibition will run from August - December 2023. The house and gallery sits on a 2.5 acre perimeter fenced property filled with Joshua Trees, Palo Verde and Mesquite trees and is surrounded on three sides by vast open areas of government land. Nature is abundant with a variety of birds and animals that live on and around the property including, chipmunks, jackrabbits, owls, road runners and woodpeckers. Centrally located for access to all the high desert attractions including Joshua Tree National Park, Pioneer Town, Pappy and Harriets, The Copper Room, La Copine, The Integratron, Noah Purifoy's outdoor art museum and vintage shopping in Old Town Yucca Valley.

Autres remarques
All communication will be directly with Lara Hoad the owner and designer of The Ocotillo House and Gallery. No third party hosts or remote management companies. Lara takes pride in providing a personal service to her guests to ensure they have the best possible experience, and is very much part of the community of the High Desert.

The Ocotillo is a remote property accessed down a mile long dirt road, which is part of the adventure and what makes it so peaceful, giving it a private, genuine retreat feel. It also means there is zero light pollution - look up at night to the background sound of the resident hooting owls and you will see the stars and milky way as clearly here as in the Joshua Tree National Park! Due to the remote location it is very important to follow the maps supplied by the host to access the property. Although not essential a SUV AWD is preferred for those not comfortable with driving on dirt roads.

Note that to conserve water in the desert environment, the cowboy tub pool is operational only during the hot months, May through September. The hot tub is operational all year round.
