A beautiful afternoon in the Mojave Desert is a scene of stark yet captivating beauty. The sky is a brilliant, unbroken blue, stretching endlessly over the vast, rugged landscape. The sun hangs high, casting a golden hue over the desert floor, where the sandy earth is punctuated by scattered rocks and hardy shrubs like creosote bush and sagebrush. The weather is clear and dry, creating shimmering mirages on the horizon. The air is filled with the subtle, earthy scent of sun-baked soil and desert flora. In the distance, jagged mountains and mesas rise against the sky, their contours softened by the afternoon light. A gentle breeze stirs, bringing a slight but welcome relief from the sun. Occasionally, a desert hare or a roadrunner darts across the scene, moving quickly among the shadows of the sparse Joshua trees and cholla cacti. The quiet is profound, broken only by the rustling of the wind and the faint calls of distant birds. As the afternoon progresses, the shadows lengthen, adding depth and contrast to the landscape. The play of light and shadow reveals the intricate textures of the desert, from the ripples in the sand to the rugged sent of the creosote bush. The overall effect is one of serene, almost surreal beauty, a testament to the unique and enduring allure of the Mojave Desert. A beautiful night unfolds under a vast, star-studded sky. As the sun sets, the sky transitions through a breathtaking palette of colors—deep purples, fiery oranges, and soft pinks—before settling into the rich, velvety darkness of night. The air cools significantly, bringing a refreshing chill that contrasts sharply with the day’s warmth. The stillness of the desert night is profound, broken only by the occasional whisper of a breeze rustling through the creosote bushes and Joshua trees. The scent of sagebrush becomes more pronounced, mingling with the crisp, clean air. The stars shine with remarkable clarity and brightness, un-obscured by city lights. Constellations are easily visible, and the Milky Way stretches across the sky like a luminous river. The desert’s elevated vantage point offers an unparalleled view of the cosmos, making stargazing a mesmerizing experience. The moon, if present, casts a soft, silvery glow over the landscape, illuminating the rugged terrain and casting long, ethereal shadows. The light plays off the rocky outcrops and sand, creating a serene, almost otherworldly atmosphere. Coyotes might be heard in the distance, their calls echoing across the open expanse. Occasionally, the silhouette of a nocturnal creature—such as a jackrabbit or a desert fox—can be seen moving quietly through the underbrush. This tranquil and awe-inspiring setting invites quiet contemplation and a deep connection with nature, showcasing the high desert’s stark yet captivating beauty under the infinite night sky.

House of the Rising Moon RV

Glamping, not so glamourous.

My family and I made some great memories. We enjoyed the peace and quiet under the stars. The day bed was cozy, I napped there a couple of times during sunrise, (beautiful red pink skies) and during sunset(beautiful hues of purple and pink) the deck was the place to chill pretty much. My kid swung every day, humming her favorite songs. If I brought my tent I would have set it up on the deck. The fire pit was fun to hang around at night. There’s access to a shower, bathtub and outdoor shower. On my last night we couldn’t get the hot water to run. I noticed gnats hanging out on the windows of the bathroom and bedroom since day 1. I’m not sure if it’s due to the swamp cooler? They weren’t fruit flies, they only hung out on the windows. But we never left the door open, and the windows have screens, so I’m not sure where they came from. They didn’t bother me, but this is definitely something I wasn’t very thrilled about. This place could use remodeling, bug/pest control, and upgrades. In my honest opinion, it has a lot of potential to be perfect. Because we still enjoyed ourselves and the memories w created on the deck, access to a toilet/shower (i will give it another try if the above things were taken care of) if you don’t care for any of the issues I mentioned above, definitely book. We booked in November, weather is on the cooler side. Which I definitely enjoyed.

Wandering Spirit RV w/ Pool

Falsely Advertised

I’m not sure how my experience was so shockingly different from other reviews, but the place was so unclean that I couldn’t bring myself to stay there. Splatter on the toilet, other people’s hair all over the shower/drain, weeks of dirt/crumb build up on the kitchen floor, dead cockroaches, mouse poop, mold, dirty stove, the carpet looked like it had never been vacuumed. The pool was empty and rusted which we were not informed of ahead of time. My car has 5.4” clearance but even with a slow creep at the most ideal angle, the middle of the car still scraped against the ground going up and down the driveway. After experiencing all this we informed the host and then left after about half an hour so that we wouldn’t be stuck without anywhere to sleep that night. Host denied a refund even though we didn’t stay there because we “didn’t give them a chance to clean”, but they didn’t even respond to our message about the filth until the next day, and they had already stayed it would be clean before we got there.

Wandering Spirit RV w/ Pool

I loved the location, yes the drive towards the end is kinda rocky but the RV is loaded with anything you need and the pool was amazing! Great 4th of July gateaway, 100% recommended. Our dogs enjoyed the land but we wish the plants surrounding were less prickly and the gate was fully closed but other than that we enjoy our time there

We had an amazing, beautiful, comfy, peaceful and private little getaway! This place was everything advertised and then some. Very comfy, all necessary amenities and even basic cooking essentials. We brought our own coffee but forgot sweetener, you know the host had that already thought out! It was clean, and extremely comfortable . Plenty of private outdoor space and a yard! We loved loved our stay. Thanks Constantin!
