Featured on the Discovery Plus Magnolia network, this architectural marvel is a magical retreat set amid the beautiful Whitewater nature preserve. Massive hand-carved cedar timbers form a bucolic A-frame exterior, while thoughtful, luxurious décor presents an ideal atmosphere for romance…or simply escaping the hustle and bustle. And adventure is never far. Explore Whitewater Preserve, enjoy a desert hike, plunge into the oasis pool and then settle in for some truly remarkable stargazing.
The only A-frame log cabin in the California Desert, Whitewater Cabin boasts 18-inch, hand–carved cedar timbers imported from the mountains of British Columbia. Its open concept design with warm interiors, comfortable furnishings and expansive windows that flood the space with natural light make this the perfect mountain getaway.
Whitewater Cabin is located in Whitewater, CA just 10 miles northwest of Palm Springs, 45 minutes from Joshua Tree and two hours east of Los Angeles. Whitewater is a local secret: a small, hidden town you might just miss, despite being right off the 10 Freeway. Once there, however, you will find the area full of magic.
Sitting on five unexpectedly lush acres and surrounded by BLM land, Whitewater Cabin features an ever running stream that runs right next to the Cabin. This stream, fed by water from the San Gorgonio Mountains, creates a verdant oasis full of hiking trails that begs for exploration. Drive just 6 minutes from the Cabin’s door and you will find yourself in the Whitewater Preserve, a gateway to the San Gorgonio Wilderness Backcountry. Whitewater is the historic Native American Cahuilla Indian village formerly named Wanapiapa (Place of Water).
You can simultaneously relax, brush up on your photography, study some of the rare birds in the nearby oasis as well as explore the diverse nature at your doorstep. And if you’re a nature lover who also loves style, shop the likes of Gucci, Tom Ford, YSL, Alexander McQueen and more at the Desert Hills Premium Outlets, a mere 15 minute drive away.

WI-FI
Whitewater Cabin is in a stunningly remote location. Until recently, it was impossible to obtain any internet access at all. Thanks to Starlink, we now have fast satellite internet on site. Please note that it is normal for the system to drop out for periods of 30 seconds up to 2 minutes at a time since this is early stage technology.
STRONG WINDS
The winds in the desert are very strong between February and June which may limit your enjoyment of the outdoor amenities. We do all we can to navigate around the winds but cannot control the impact it may have on your stay.
POWER OUTAGES
The power is cut off for 8-12 hours at least twice a year by the electrical company in order for maintenance to be done (for instance in preparation for the fire seasons). We inform our guests of outages as soon as we are made aware but cannot control the time or manner in which this may impact your stay.
REFUNDS
Should any inconveniences such as those listed above or anything else beyond our control affect your stay, we will not provide refunds. Please understand certain things simply come with the windy, rural, desert location. Thank for understanding!

Here are a few kind words from some of our previous guests:
"The cabin was absolutely stunning!! Such a home away from home feel. It was the most romantic spot. I rented it as a birthday surprise for my husband and it exceeded expectations. And the help desk is so communicative and kind. 10/10 best Airbnb experience ever!!" - Natalie
"Our stay was incredible. This is a secluded place where you can have peace and quiet. The place is clean and well equipped. We felt right at home. The host was very responsive even on Christmas. I would highly recommend this place. We were sad to leave!" - Sharon
"My husband and I stayed here over the weekend to celebrate our 15-year-anniversary. First of all, this place is absolutely stunning! We felt like we were in the middle of nowhere but also had the comfort of being just a little over a mile from the freeway. The inside of the space was immaculate and had everything we needed to whip up a couple of meals (pots, pans, salt, pepper, oil, etc…). Everything was decorated beautifully (very photo-worthy!). The bed, the couch, the linens and pillows were all SO comfortable and clean. We enjoyed stargazing from the hot tub at night and hiking/exploring the grounds during the day. This place was PERFECT for the two of us. What a wonderful, romantic, getaway! Thank you so SO much for everything. We hope to be back again soon!" - Callyn
"I need a little staycation, and this was the first place on the app that showed up. I'd love to stay here again; with all the great amenities, seeing the stars clear at night, and hearing the water flow, very relaxing. It's not far from Palm Springs or Morongo Valley. The host team was accommodating and responded quickly. If you're looking for some R&R, stay here!!" - Karolyn Guest access At Whitewater Cabin, not only will you be able to access our stunning, remote 5 acre property but also the surrounding area.
