The Space:
The layout inside is built for seamless connection, offering plenty of room for group game nights, cozy movie marathons, and shared home-cooked meals. A bright, fully equipped kitchen makes prepping gourmet dinners or quick snacks completely hassle-free, while the plush, comfortable bedrooms ensure everyone gets a deep, restful night of sleep after a busy day on the trails.
Stepping into the expansive backyard opens up a whole new world of outdoor entertainment under the open sky. You can spend sunny afternoons playing games, lounging on the patio, and soaking in the views, then gather the whole crew around the fire pit as dusk falls to stargaze under a canopy of bright desert constellations. Located just minutes from the iconic rock formations and scenic paths of Joshua Tree National Park, Cosmic Rabbit makes exploring the great outdoors easy, exciting, and accessible for everyone.
From sound baths and in-home massages to stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Southern California, we've handpicked local vendors to match whatever mood you're in. Book a personal chef for a lazy night in, saddle up for a horseback ride, or take a guided hike through the National Park or other local trails. However you want to spend your time here, relaxing or adventuring, the desert (and our favorite locals) has you covered. Once your reservation is confirmed, let us know you are interested and we will connect you!
