☆ About the Owners ☆ Matt and Kristi Kautz are from Santa Monica, CA. Matt is a VP at PlayStation, and Kristi is an interior designer. Their high desert story began with a shared obsession with Joshua Tree, exploring it together as often as they could until they finally decided to buy a place nearby of their own. When they came across two mid-century houses on ten pristine acres bordering protected land as far as the eye can see, they fell in love. Local legends of alien encounters and vortex fields on the property inspired them to transform the 50's houses into Starship Landing: a place for space, whether it’s physical, mental, or cosmic. Today, they couldn't be happier that they get to share this magical space with their guests.
Interaction with Guests: We live locally in Joshua Tree and are available when needed - we are just a message away at any time!

We had a great time hanging out and stargazing at this property. It was rustic but clean, and it had all the amenities of home. The weather was great and the house is walking distance to Pioneertown.

Would stay again in a heart beat!
Great, impeccable home in the north/east side of Pioneertown. We loved the unexpected amenities like the coffee station, game room, and so many unique areas to relax. Wish we booked our stay for longer.
Tip - follow the directions host provides in his email, do NOT follow Google maps or you will end up in washed out "roads" (thankfully we had high clearance 4x4)
