About Shangri-La in the High Desert
Welcome to our Hillbilly Hideaway, our Shangri-La in the sand! Here you will find a beautifully restored original homestead cabin, with all of the comforts of home. The cabin will sleep 4 comfortably, or 6-7 if you move some stuff around. There's a mini split with heat and AC, an electric fireplace, a fully stocked kitchen and bath, a mini bunk room, a double size bed, and stackable twins. The cabin opens up to a fully fenced compound with fun around every corner! Bounce on the vintage playground bouncers, swing on the swingset, rope a wooden steer, play horseshoes, or make a campfire. We also have a tiny playhouse, croquet, and bocce. The large back patio features an outdoor kitchenette and bathroom complete with an outdoor shower and cowboy tub! To the left you'll find the boxcar, a yellow dream. She's purdy on the inside with a loft bed and two twins, and dining table with chandelier. To the right is Avion, the majestic silver bird. She is every bit original 1983 oak veneer nostalgia. Don't eat the glass grapes! Avion features a full kitchen and bath and sleeps 5. Further over is Dolly the vintage Dalton tin can style trailer. She has no hook ups but there are battery lights and a clean double bed. Set a while on the dirt porch in the shell back chairs and reflect on life. Shangri-La is family, pet, UFO, and kid friendly. Bring 'em all! You will need to self clean this little slice of heaven. There are supplies in the closet and the outbuildings. You'll BYO sheets and towels to make up the beds and bathe, remember to take everything you brought with you, put back the key, and haul out your own trash. The property is well outfitted with cooking supplies and a charcoal barbecue. Welcome! Welcome! Tell your friends! Shangri-La attracts amazing, awakened souls abundant with life force and joy.

Other than not having a microwave (it's in the gray trailer) this place is magical! Absolutely Magical!
I don't want to give Amy's place a good review because, to be honest, I want to keep it all for myself! It's a super fun property, the games/toys make it great for kids, and it's very tastefully decorated. You get many different structures on one property, which is hard to come by, and the price makes it an amazing value. It would be especially fun with a group. The main house has all the creature comforts so it's a step above glamping. We can't wait to come back.
This place is perfect for a group coming to Joshua Tree, kids or not. Its a great gathering space and has tons of character! All the old toys and games around the property were really cool and there are four separate sleeping quarters, complete with bunk beds, and futons for extra room. There were plenty of kitchen utensils and such for plenty of guests. I'd love to have a great group weekend here, its a wonderful spot!
We had such an amazing time! The site is so spacious, with lots of beds, room to explore, and different games and activities to do. The skies were so clear, full of stars! We loved our time here!
Amy's place was perfect. It was clean and well-stocked with supplies. We had a picture-perfect view of the sunrise. Amy left clear instructions and responded well to my questions.
This is a large and multifaceted property. Many (probably 6-7) of the beds are twin sized, and there are also three full sized beds and one fold out king size bed. So plenty of sleeping options which ideal for people who are comfortable being in close quarters for sleeping. The kitchen was well stocked with enough cooking materials, dishes and cutlery, plus the outdoor areas were sweet and comfortable. We loved our stay!!!!
