Moon Shadow Ranch | Desert Medicine Retreat

Welcome to Moon Shadow Ranch. Unwind in a chic cozy cabin in the desert countryside away from the hustle and bustle. This property sits on 5 fully fenced acres with expansive views of mountain ranges and Joshua Tree National Park. The home sleeps max 5 people and has been recently updated with a unique cozy vibe for a true desert experience that offers desert quiet stillness and inspiring sunrise and sunset views. Perfect place for wellness retreat, working remote, and a relaxing getaway.

This is my personal home that I am opening to fellow adventurer's and friends. It has been true medicine to be in the stillness of the desert with expansive views watching inspiring sunsets and sunrises here. I’ve set the lighting and dinning experience to be optimal for relaxing and enjoying dinners with friends and family. There is also a full work desk area with extra monitor and high speed internet. This property is perfect for a getaway, wellness retreat, or remote work. I hope you enjoy the space and if you are looking for some r&r this is the spot.

Highlights of the property:
- Beautiful views of the mountains and desert from all areas of the property
- New appliances and fully stocked kitchen (like really)
- Outdoor fire pit area for sunset gazing and gathering
- Sun Yoga deck for yoga or just watching sunrise/sunset
- Sonos speaker

LIVING & DINING ROOM
The living space has enough seating for 5, plus some floor cushions. Equipped with a large sonos speaker for enjoying your morning coffee to your favorite music. All designed for comfort and enjoyment of the views and who you are with. The classy dinning table sits up to 6 people for an intimate dinning experience with friends and family.

KITCHEN
I love entertaining my friends in the desert so I made sure the house was fully set up to do so. It includes all the baking and cookware you would need plus plenty of counter space, fancy glassware and dishes. Also includes coffee pour over setup, mini waffle maker, blender, and juicer.

BEDROOM 1 – SUNRISE ROOM
Extra large room with a queen size bed with space for yoga, working at the desk, or meditation under shade on the patio off the bedroom. We have blackout shades on all windows in both bedrooms.

BEDROOM 2 – SUNSET ROOM
This beautifully designed room faces the stunning desert sunsets. Includes a queen bed, and a twin bed/day bed for a friend or a comfy place for reading a book.

BATHROOM
The bathroom has a large chic shower, two sinks, and a relaxing himalayan sea salt lamp. The bathroom also is equipped with soap, shampoo, conditioner necessities.

OUTDOOR SPACE
The outside patio has a picnic table that seats 6 people so you can choose to eat outside while watching sunset. There is an outdoor shower off the master patio, several seating areas, a BBQ that includes a smoker, and a sun yoga deck. Also the starry night sky is pretty enjoyable by a fire in the fire-barrel.

A dream desert experience

Sienna's property was the most ideal weekend getaway for 3 of us, who were looking to relax in Joshua Tree and do some hiking/stargazing. Situated in Twentynine Palms, you're only 15-20 minutes from the entrance of the park, and her space is perfect to relax in during the daytime while temps were hotter. Everything is so clean, and thoughtfully curated, and we loved sitting out on the deck and watching the sunsets. Will definitely rebook for future visits!

Perfect Mojave experience

Quiet, serene and secure house with all the amenities we could possibly expect. Beds were comfortable and both indoor and outdoor showers were great. All of our possible comfort needs were met. Our dog didn’t want to leave (nor did we).

Perfection!

OMG! I love this property. It is so quite and peaceful. The perfect retreat. The home is so nicely decorated and comfortable. The property is beautiful with all the plants and trees. We had a great time having a fire under the stars and exploring the property for dessert animals and rocks. It was an easy drive to Joshua Tree. This is how VRBO should be! Bravo Moon Shadow Ranch!

Moon Shadow Ranch…Charming & Inspirational

Words cannot describe the vibe & charm at Moon Shadow Ranch. Relaxation sweeps through your soul the moment you walk through the door. This is an amazing & secluded little desert gem I hope to frequent. Everything about the place is conducive to good rest and relaxation. The lighting, aromatherapy, kitchen, glassware, cutlery, dining table, living room, sonos speaker, bedrooms, porches & yoga deck were fantastic. Closing each day by a fire under the stars is a must. Do treat yourself to the outdoor shower under the sun, moon & stars. My family thanks you, Sienna!

Desert Vaca!

The house is very well decorated and fully stocked, the four of us enjoyed cooking meals and eating outside surrounded by the beautiful views, wonderful ambience inside and out. We came to visit Joshua Tree and the location was perfect to visit both entrances which was very cool! With all the space and expansive views it felt cozy and private, we hope to visit this place again as the house feels like a desert vacation in itself!
