Starfire Lodge:Funky Architectural Mtn-view Escape

Escape to our high desert lodge - a unique, bohemian hideaway with true architectural character. Our 1750 sqft home is located on 2 acres of pristine desert. Enjoy this 70's inspired pad with all the creature comforts while in the midst of nature, with mountain views from every window. We are 15 min from Pappy & Harriet’s, 20 from JT Nat’l Park entrance, and 30 from Palm Springs. Venture out and enjoy all the quirkiness of the desert, or stay in and relax in the hot tub while enjoying the stars.
The space
This home was reimagined by the creative mind of a retired ship builder and you will be charmed by his ingenious layering of materials and raw elements throughout the space. We are west facing and the dramatic full wall picture window provides unobstructed views of both of the San Gregorio and San Jancinto Mnt peaks as well as the Morongo Valley basin stretching out below you. There are Brutalist modernism rough edges and surprising touches of tile work throughout the space. It is truly a one of a kind memorable location that will remind you of the warmth and nostalgia of years gone by with a sense of hollywood glam.

Each bedroom has its own distinct character. The master kind ensuite is a cali boho whitewashed space with a simple minimalist feel... we call it the Cream Room. Then there is the Blonde room which is entirely clad in a clean mid-century plywood with bright flashes of pop color and cult leader vibes. The Loft has flavors of a rustic cabin in some enchanted wonderland. Each bed features a memory foam topper for ultimate comfort and has OEK-TEX certified 100% cotton bedding. We love Pendelton and both the Loft and The Cream room have shams and quilts styled by them.

This is a true functional CHEFS kitchen. With nearly every specialty item you could desire. We know youve struggled in Airbnb's in the past to find a sharp knife, this is NOT that experience. You will be delighted cooking in our space and happy to host a dinner party while you are here. We also provide Joshua Tree Coffee Co ground coffee for your stay and every possible way you could choose to brew your beans. If you opt to bring your own beans, dont worry we have you covered with a high quality burr grinder.

We have two modernized bathrooms with captivating tile work both with rainhead showers and glass enclosures. The entertaining kitchen has all the tools you need for preparing a chefs meal. We stock local products like Joshua Tree Coffee Co. coffee for your stay that you can brew up in our nostalgic Chemex or a french press. All bath products are from the Eco brand Public Goods and refillable.

Relax in our spacious leather sofas and take in the view from the main living space or pull down the projector screen and access our Roku enabled entertainment in the Big Cat lounge room. Throw your own personal Kareoke party casting straight from your phone with your fav songs! Have an epic meal at the massive granite dining table or entertain from the mini bar... or take a nap in the hammock city.
