From the owner

Just five minutes down a State Scenic Road from world-famous music venue Pappy and Harriet's Pioneertown Palace, and amidst spectacular vistas at 4,400 feet, nestled in the foothills of the Big Bear Mountains is the undiscovered gem called Pipes Canyon and High Desert Eden. Adjoining 33,000 acres of Wildlands Conservancy, our gorgeous solar and wind-powered Southwest casita is a refuge of quiet serenity.

High Desert Eden's 22 acres is surrounded by a panorama of rare flat-topped mesas, jagged peaks and giant boulders. It delights the senses with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets, and the Milky Way on display virtually every night.

Our luxurious casita with plush furnishings and stunning vistas from every window will delight you senses and soothe your soul.

We enjoy four seasons here, each with its own distinct pleasures; spring with its unmatched wildflower bloom; summer (20 degrees cooler than Palm Springs, 10 degrees cooler than Joshua Tree) with maximum greenery and balmy, star-filled nights; autumn's crisp days and changing colors; and snow for a fantasy winter holiday. We are located 2 hours east of Los Angeles and a convenient, scenic 45-minute drive from Palm Springs International Airport. Historic Pioneertown is minutes away.

    Response from the owner
    Well you guys are in our hearts. We remember the looks on your faces when you came up from the wash after your last walk on the property before leaving - you were glowing with peace and contentment (and you didn't want to leave!). But we're so happy that you'll be coming back again. Maybe the Spring?
