Mojave Stargazer

Yucca Valley home on five acres near Joshua Tree

About this home

Five acres above Homestead Valley Canyon, under very dark skies. The house was recently renovated and is kept screen-free on purpose: no TV, fast Starlink internet. A deck and a swing face the canyon, and a hiking trail starts on the property. Guests set up tripods on the deck at night, and write about the silence.

Let's be honest

Home quirks we want you to know about before you book.

  1. There is no TV, by design.
  2. It is remote. The last stretch is a short dirt road, a high-clearance car helps, and cell service is limited.
  3. The nearest town is 10 to 15 minutes by car. Bring your own firewood.
  4. There are neighbors on the other sides of the house. The canyon side is open.

Questions guests ask

Is this an instant booking?

No. Bookings on the Open Air Homes direct site are request to book. We review each request within 24 hours and approve or decline it. Your card is held, not charged, until we approve.

Why is there an occupancy tax on my total?

Transient occupancy tax is a city tax on short stays. We collect it with your booking and pay it to the city. The exact rate for this home is in your price breakdown.

What is the cancellation policy?

You may cancel without penalty for 24 hours after your reservation is confirmed, if you booked at least 72 hours before check-in. We refund in full, including all fees, within 30 days. Stays under 28 nights (Firm): Full refund until 60 days before check-in. 50% refund until 30 days before check-in. No refund after that. Stays of 28 nights or more (Long-term): Full refund until 30 days before check-in. Inside 30 days, the first 30 nights are owed.

Refunds are a share of the stay price for the nights refunded, plus the matching occupancy tax.

Can I stay 30 nights or more?

Often yes, depending on the calendar. Stays of 31 nights or more sign a California Association of Realtors (CAR) rental agreement before check-in. Monthly stays start at 30 nights. Occupancy tax ends at 31 nights in Los Angeles and 29 in Palm Springs. Send a request for your dates and we will confirm.

How is booking direct different from booking on Airbnb?

Booking direct removes the guest service fee the big platforms charge, and gives you a direct line to our team. It is the same home and the same standards.
