Summary:
Neon Moon is the desert’s most cosmic, out-of-this-world escape where planetary energies mingle and align to create an ultra-magnetic experience. Located in the darkest area of Joshua Tree, the stars really do come alive at night. In the heart of the protected land of Monument Manor on 7.5 acres, this large slice of starry heaven is perfect for artistic retreats, relaxed get-togethers, family gatherings, or the midnight dreamers and stargazers.
The Space:
The open floor plan is perfect for gatherings of all kinds, while pops of bright colors, magical lighting and trippy art ensure good vibes only. Relax in the realm of emotions by sharing a moment of gratitude with a Pisces in the built-in spa; or set some intentions for the season to come and share your passions in the realm of creation with a Leo or a Sagittarius around the fire pit; ground yourself and clear your mind with a Taurus in a morning or moonlit meditation. It’s positively elemental!

Turn the HD projector on to display your favorite visuals to enhance the experience or to capture an artistic souvenir photo from your trip to a galaxy far away. When the party is over, relax and sit back in our oversized bean bag and lounge seating for movie night or get riled up and go back to the 90’s for a game of Mario Kart on the Nintendo 64! Yes, we provide a couple games and our collection is growing!

When the sun goes down on this side of town, the fun really begins.

Other Things to Note:
SPA/JACUZZI:
We understand this spa is a highly desired amenity, and we want you to enjoy it! Please note our built-in spa runs off of propane and uses 1.25 gallons of propane per hour. The market rate of residential propane in the desert is $4.41 per gallon. If you wish to use the spa, we ask you to follow the honor’s system and cover the cost of propane usage. We have a flat rate of $50per day (+ tax) — it really costs us more, but we feel this is fair in case you don’t use it for the entire day. If it’s not in use, please keep it turned off.
To prevent the heater from overheating in extreme desert temperatures, the spa shuts off automatically between 2 am-9 am and will need to be turned back on manually. The spa takes about 3-4 hours to heat up. Please let us know at least ONE day prior to check-in if you would like the spa heated upon your arrival. The heater makes some noise when it is on. Finally, the spa has a small leak, so we leave a hose dripping into it — please do not tamper with it.
COWBOY POOL:
The cowboy is not heated, but is great for dipping your feet in and enjoying the view!
