Restored 1950s Homestead | Diamond Sky Retreat

We welcome all guests who value quiet, care, and a true home experience in the desert. Diamond Sky Retreat is not a generic rental—it’s a place we love and share so others can enjoy the beauty, solitude, and creativity of Joshua Tree. We ask you to help us preserve this experience for everyone by observing a few essential rules: Respect for Home & Furnishings: • Please treat our home and all its contents with care. Many items are one-of-a-kind, vintage, or custom-made. • Do not move furniture, décor, plants, or artwork inside or outside. • Professional photography or filming is not allowed without prior written approval. • Glitter, confetti, balloons, colored powders, and party favors are not permitted. These are harmful to the environment and very difficult to clean. Guests & Gatherings: • Only registered guests are allowed on the property. No unapproved parties, weddings, or events. • Joshua Tree has strict occupancy rules—please ensure your group size matches your booking. Unapproved guests may result in additional fees or cancellation. • Our home is not suitable for parties or loud gatherings. Please keep all activities respectful and low key. Quiet Hours & Neighborhood: • Quiet hours are from 10PM to 8AM. No outdoor amplified music during those times. • Sound travels far in the desert; keep voices down, especially outdoors after dark. • No drones, firearms, fireworks, or disruptive activity at any time. • Joshua Tree is known for its peaceful nights and stargazing; help us preserve this for everyone. Nature & Wildlife: • Please respect the local wildlife and landscape. Do not disturb animals, remove plants or rocks, or leave food or trash outside. • Pick up any litter, especially at night when wind can scatter debris into the desert and neighboring properties. • Stay on paths and avoid damaging the fragile ecosystem. Fire Safety: • Fires are permitted only in the designated fire pit, and never on windy nights. • Use only store-bought firewood. Do not burn trash, local wood, or desert plants. • Never use lighter fluid, fireworks, sparklers, or candles outdoors. • Never leave fires unattended. Fully extinguish before leaving or sleeping. • Smoking is allowed outdoors only and away from doors. Dispose of all cigarette waste properly. Pets: • Small, well-behaved dogs are welcome with prior approval and a cleaning fee. • Dogs must be leashed outdoors (coyotes are common) and owners must clean up after them. Safety & Desert Awareness: • The desert is beautiful, but can be harsh. Always bring plenty of water, use sun protection, and avoid strenuous activities in extreme heat. • Children are welcome, but our home is not childproofed and contains delicate items; supervision is required at all times. • No camping, RVs, or overnight vehicles are allowed on the property. General Respect: • Treat our neighbors and the community with kindness and consideration. • No professional photo/video shoots, parties, or events without our written approval. • Please enjoy our home and the desert, and leave both as you found them. We’re grateful to share Diamond Sky Retreat with respectful travelers from all backgrounds. Your care and thoughtfulness help us keep this space welcoming for everyone.
