Emily and Erica were looking for a vacation property in Joshua Tree and came across this awesome cob tiny home. They were able to fix up the earthen home and add in an outdoor kitchen and bathroom to complete a “better-than-glamping” vacation experience.
While they block off days for their own vacations with family/friends, Emily & Erica also put the spot on Airbnb so we can all enjoy time there, too! Jenna over at Tiny House Giant Journey did an awesome video tour of the spot which you should check out below!

VIDEO: They Bought a Beautiful EARTHEN HOME in Joshua Tree
Highlights:
This is an off the beaten path experience that does require comfort with the outdoors! You’ll need to be ok with cooking and showering under the stars. The toilet is also composting and is a 15-50 foot walk depending on which room you sleep in. Flashlights are provided! The facilities are all incredibly nice though and we consider it a step above glamping (full kitchen w/filtered water, fridge, bbq, electricity and hot water).

Great video Natalie. Lovely property and nice owners. Joshua Tree National Park is outstanding. I bouldered there with a friend over 25 years ago and fell in love with the views and the smell of desert sagebrush. It’s worth a trip for sure! (U-2 liked it, too.)
I’ve never been but I would love to go!
