If you can't find the dates that you're looking for, please take a look at Terra Vieja's sister property, Terra Nova.

Terra Vieja was designed to be grounding - an anchor to support your exploration of this magical desert community.

Both bedrooms offer Casper mattresses and luxury sheets to promote restoration and sleep.

Our bathroom boasts majestic views and a walk in shower with earthy moroccan tiles, and natural materials to ground you in the space.

Enjoy a fresh cup of Wonderlake Coffee from the sunbathed patio, and manifest your dreams in our meditation corner.

Relax in our outdoor bathtub or rinse off after a long day of hiking in our outdoor shower.

After selecting fresh ingredients from the Joshua Tree Farmer's market, dine under the stars in our olive grove.

For those looking beyond the well equipped house and its local activities, consider booking a healing session on-site with one of our trusted vendors. We work with skilled healers that specialize in Reiki, breathwork, soundbaths, and a range of massage services.

Other things to note
**Pets**
We allow up to two well-behaved dogs on-site. A pet fee, payable at the time of booking, applies. Please keep in mind that pets are not permitted on furniture, should not be left unattended, and proper waste disposal is required. This helps us maintain a clean and enjoyable space for all guests. There is an additional cleaning fee associated with pet related messes; this includes a $50 surcharge for any animal waste found inside or outside the house.

Our property features a mostly enclosed back yard, perfect for letting your dog run and play under supervision. There is an 18" gap in the back left corner of the yard - for your dog's safety, we recommend keeping your dog on a leash while exploring the property and inside at night as there are wild animals that roam the surrounding area, as well as busy roads.

**Please note**

Terra Vieja has antique original windows from the 1950s. As a result of their age, we ask guests not to open or close windows unless an absolute emergency. While the windows do function to open in the case of an emergency, they're difficult to close.
