If The Shack Attack is unavailable, please check out our other Joshua Tree Airbnb listings by clicking on our profile.

Although the interior space is just less than 500 square feet, this small home features every amenity you would expect from homes double or triple in size. As you enter the space, you are greeted by custom-made wall art and in-floor planter that embraces the outdoors within. Turning the corner, you reach the cozy studio-style living space including a cozy and comfortable seating area with sofa and two large floor poofs, a full scale kitchen including SMEG fridge, stove/oven and sink set in custom made concrete countertops. Opposite of the seating area is a large sleeping space with king sized memory foam bed.

The bathroom features a large walk-in shower, sink made of repurposed material from the original home and a large modern custom-made floor mirror. If outdoor space is what draws you to the desert, The Shack Attack features both a large partially enclosed seating area with dining table and large bench for viewing the desert during sunny days. And if you want to be directly under the stars, there is a backyard seating area with custom soaking tub complete with cold and hot water.

The Shack Attack features a carefully curated selection of vinyl to complete your remote desert experience including the best works from artists such as Jon Coltrane, Nina Simone, Nancy and Lee, Roy Orbison, Charles Bradley and more. If streaming music or posting your favorite social media picture is important, The Shack Attack also offers unlimited wifi internet. And finally, the space is heated and cooled by a centrally located, state of the art, heating and cooling system so you will know that no matter what the elements bring, you will be comfortable and cozy inside.

Whether you stay with us or at one of the other amazing spaces in the desert, we hope that you fully immerse yourself in the many wonders of the high desert of Joshua Tree.
