Guest Access:
You will have the entire house and property to yourself. Only registered guests are allowed, unless specifically agreed upon during the booking process.
While we encourage taking walks on Shadow Mountain property and in the National Park, please do not wander into our neighbor's backyards in the surrounding area as you will be trespassing on private property.
Also note, THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO USE OF OFF HIGHWAY VEHICLES (OHV) IN THIS AREA.
The Neighborhood:
When going to Joshua Tree one couldn’t imagine a better location an ambiance. Shadow Mountain House is very private but not remote. You will feel like you have your own slice of solitude in Joshua Tree yet you are only a couple of miles from the JT downtown as well as Joshua Tree National Park. During the day, you can explore nature in your own backyard, and at night, the stargazing can’t be beat.
