    Welcome to The Moon Cabin — an Apartment Therapy featured desert retreat with over 450 five-star reviews as a short-term rental, standout design and proven rental appeal. Set on nearly two flat acres at the base of Bunker Mountain, this 1959 Jack Rabbit Homesteader blends mid-century charm with thoughtful modern upgrades. Located just 10 minutes from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park and close to local dining, shops, and art spaces, it’s perfectly positioned to enjoy the best of the high desert. Inside, the one-bedroom, one-bath home features custom details throughout: hand-built raw edge shelving, sliding barn doors, designer lighting, and a freestanding mid-century wood-burning fireplace that anchors the open living area. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, with quartz countertops, floating shelves, and seamless flow into the main living space. The nearly two-acre lot offers privacy, natural beauty, and room to expand. Native flora, boulder formations, and unobstructed views create a stunning backdrop for outdoor living. A bocce court adds a fun and unique touch for guests or gatherings. The Moon Cabin has a strong track record and future potential—whether you're looking for a personal escape, a creative live/work home, or a part-time rental property with character and income potential.
