About the property
Two houses on ten private acres: Perfect for retreats! Starship Landing is ready to abduct you for a fun and relaxing escape. Directly bordering 154,000 acres of the stunning protected land of the Sand to Snow National Monument, you'll feel as if you just landed on another planet right outside of your back door. When you're done exploring, come back to a dip in the hot tub or cowboy tub pool, enjoy a starship-themed disco, and soak in the stars around the fire pit. @starshiplanding Welcome to Starship Landing: Two alien disco themed houses on 10 acres of otherworldly paradise, nestled right at the doorstep of the majestic Sand to Snow National Monument and just a cosmic hop away from the enchanting Joshua Tree National Park. Whether you're seeking a unique escape or a spaciously extraordinary gathering, these twin domiciles offer a celestial experience like no other. ☆ The Space ☆ With two distinct sister houses, Starship Landing promises a total of 6 bedrooms, as well as 3 other sleeping areas, providing plenty of room to accommodate up to 16 cosmic travelers. Each house features 3 comfortably appointed bedrooms, along with 3 additional sleeping spaces for the dreamers and stargazers among you. Both houses offer well-equipped kitchens and dining rooms that are perfect for crafting celestial feasts or sharing stories over breakfast. The spacious living rooms beckon you to unwind, with cozy seating, funky decor, and panoramic views of the alien-inspired backyards. Step outside into the extraterrestrial oasis, where you'll find two expansive backyards perfect for dancing under the stars or just soaking up the desert sun. The outdoor spaces are thoughtfully designed to complement the cosmic theme and starry skies overhead. ☆ Activities & Amenities ☆ At Starship Landing, the possibilities are as endless as the cosmos itself. Unwind in one of two hot tubs or cowboy tubs, where you can relax and gaze at the endless expanse of the universe. Gather around one of the two fire pits to share stories and roast marshmallows under the desert constellations. Disco dance parties are a must, and silent disco headsets are available for you to dance well into the night (separate deposit required). With several disco themed rooms inside and out, there's no shortage of fun places to disco. For the gamers, there's a pool table and a Mortal Kombat gaming console to test your skills. If you're in the mood for cinematic adventures, enjoy movies on the big screen using the projector and screen provided, complete with silent disco headsets for an out-of-this-world viewing experience. Stay active with yoga sessions in the dedicated yoga room, or simply lounge in one of the hammock circles, taking in the cosmic surroundings. Step outside for some competition with outdoor games like giant Jenga, cornhole, and alien croquet. ☆ The Bedrooms ☆ Each of the 6 bedrooms is designed with its own unique touch of alien charm, making it a cozy, otherworldly retreat. You'll find comfortable bedding and colorful decor that encourages interstellar dreams. The three additional sleeping spaces offer even more celestial slumber options for your group. ☆ The Bathrooms ☆ Freshen up in style in the thoughtfully designed bathrooms, each fully stocked with everything you'll need to freshen up. Clean and well-appointed, they provide the comforts you need after a day of stardust exploration. ☆ The Surrounding Area ☆ Starship Landing is more than just a stellar escape; it's your launchpad to explore the surrounding wonders. Bordering the Sand to Snow National Monument, you can venture into this protected desert realm and connect with the natural world in a truly extraordinary way. Nearby, you'll discover the artistic and eclectic community of Flamingo Heights, where you can explore unique shops, and some of the best local restaurants like La Copine and Giant Rock Meeting Room. Don't forget to visit Pioneertown, a movie-set-turned-old-western-town, offering a taste of the Wild West with modern amenities. And of course, don't miss the world-renowned Joshua Tree National Park, where you can hike among the iconic Joshua trees and rock formations that make this desert landscape a must-see for every adventurer. ☆ Amenity List ☆ Your stay comes complete with everything you'll need for a fun and relaxing stay: ☆ 2 Houses on 10 Private Acres ☆ 6 bedrooms / 9 beds / 4 bathrooms / sleeps 16 total ☆ Bordering 154,000 acres of private hiking in the Sand to Snow National Monument ☆ Silent Disco Headsets Available ($500 Separate Deposit Required) ☆ Two Large 6-Person Hot Tubs ☆ Two 8' Cowboy Tub Pools (Unavailable from Nov-March) ☆ Two Propane Firepits ☆ Two Propane BBQs ☆ Two Giant 6-Person Hammock Circles ☆ Huge Yoga Room Space w/ Mats and Blocks ☆ Pool Table ☆ Projector and Screen for Movies and Shows ☆ Mortal Kombat Arcade Machine ☆ Cozy Wood Burning Fireplaces ☆ Record Players and Bluetooth Speakers ☆ Disco Balls Galore ☆ Retro Nintendo Console ☆ Telescope ☆ Alien-Themed Croquet ☆ Cornhole ☆ XXL Jenga ☆ XXL Connect 4 ☆ Private Balcony ☆ Desk Space in Private Master Bedroom at Aurora for Working From Home ☆ 2 L2 Electric Vehicle Chargers (please make sure to bring an adapter if you need it!) ☆ Aliens!

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. ☆ Damage Waiver Policy ☆ Each reservation requires either a refundable security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver

The perfect spot for a large group. There were 9 of us, so the two houses close to each other worked perfectly (split up by our time zones so everyone could sleep peacefully). Enough space for all of us to hang out in one of the houses, but plenty of room in both to each have a lot of private space to spread out in. The area has plenty of space to hike and explore. Close to the national park and just a few minutes into town to grab supplies or get a bite to eat. The hosts were helpful and super responsive. Would definitely stay again.
