This retreat is ideal for appreciators of historical artifacts and permaculture lifestyles.

The vintage trailer rental is a 1958 Red Rocket situated in Joshua Tree, California, and makes for a unique glamping getaway for up to four guests. The trailer showcases a charming wooden interior and a delightful retro décor throughout with a sci-fi theme. There is a cozy bedroom with a double bed that features glow-in-the-dark bed sheets while the bathroom has a toilet, a sink, and a tub and shower combo. Linens and towels are kindly provided by the host.

In the living area, glampers will find a comfortable sleeper sofa that can sleep two guests, a clamshell chair, and a television. The kitchen is equipped with an array of cooking and serving utensils and all of the modern appliances guests might need, such as a Global Sun oven, a stove, a refrigerator, and a coffeemaker. Other amenities include an evaporative cooler, free parking on the premises, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Outside, glampers will have their own private patio, which is shaded by two fixed trampolines on the roof of the trailer, as well as an antique clawfoot bathtub and lounge chairs for watching the sunrise or observing the bright night sky. The property features a 35-by-40-foot horseshoe pit with eight horseshoes where glampers can engage in a little friendly competition and a play park for young children.

Glampers will be fully immersed in the tranquility of the desert landscape surroundings while still enjoying access to modern amenities and conveniences during their stay. Each of the four vintage trailer retreats are fully furnished and equipped inside and out.

Two of the vintage trailers have an outdoor antique claw foot bathtub to cool off in and all the trailer properties are private with a private patio or a deck. Each trailer has a movie library, a TV, and a sleeper sofa in the living area, while each also has a bedroom with a full bed. Two of the trailers each have a full bathroom with a bathtub and the other two each have a three-quarters size bathroom with a shower.

Each trailer kitchen is equipped with all the comforts of a traditional kitchen so guests can cook meals as they so choose. The trailer decor fits the theme of each trailer with an abundance of local flavor and antiques fitting the original vintage trailer style. The property purposefully features only solar pathway lights to reduce light pollution so glampers can better view the bright night sky.

Other amenities include free parking in a private parking space, complimentary Wi-Fi, heating, and air conditioning/evaporative cooler. The communal area within the grouping of the vintage trailer retreats features a playground for kids and coming soon in the communal area is a Jacuzzi. Guests can book all four trailers if they would like to hold a family reunion or a retreat for up to 16 registered guests or they can book one based on which one is their favorite theme.

This retreat is ideal for appreciators of historical artifacts and permaculture lifestyles.

Each of the four vintage trailer retreats provide guests with a truly unique experience. The getaways are tastefully decorated in the original 50's vintage style with antiques and decor suiting each trailer theme. One has a sci-fi/outer space theme, another is western, the third theme is movie stars, and the final getaway is a Led Zeppelin-styled rental raised above ground level as though it floats in the air.

The ranch is situated on a five-acre parcel in the picturesque desert landscape of north Joshua Tree, California. With easy access to the vast and abundant natural beauty of Joshua Tree National Park located just 20 minutes from the property by car, this is the ideal site for glampers seeking a true nature retreat in a permaculture setting with plenty of options for outdoor recreation nearby.

Upon prior appointment, the host will be happy to provide a permaculture talk and tour of the property, explaining the solar power systems which generate the electricity, as well as the grey water systems that water the landscape. The hosts default to the belief that guests' visits are a getaway from it all and allow them to bask in the peacefulness of these surroundings, without interruption.

Glampers will be surrounded by hundreds of miles of scenic wide open landscape where they will view a mixture of unique rock formations, ancient trees, desert vegetation, and native wildlife. Guests can rent one trailer for a private stay for two, or rent all four trailers which could provide them with space for a family reunion or small desert retreat for up to 16 registered guests. Nightly prices per trailer include the first two registered guests. Each additional guest up to four maximum per trailer costs $25 each per night.

While the setting of this rental is secluded and feels like a remote desert paradise, glampers will be less than 10 minutes from the heart of the quaint and small downtown Joshua Tree marketplace. There, glampers will discover a thriving arts scene with an array of galleries and local shops, dining options, and music venues. Most events are posted publicly on social media which is a good resource for travelers in search of events during their stay. Regular local music at the JT Saloon includes open mic Tuesdays and blues Thursdays. All the JT art galleries are open at night monthly on the second Saturday.

The nearest major city is Palm Springs, California, which can be reached in one hour by car.
