• THE SPACE The unique hand carved floors sprawl through the entire house offering a creative space like no other house out here. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with comfortable sleeping arrangements for 4 people; a queen bed in each room make the sleeping arrangements comfortable and relaxing.
•THE OUTDOORS The large property comes equipped with outdoor amenities including outdoor dining table, art sculptures, a propane fire pit and a hot tub for relaxing and incredible stargazing.
• OTHER THINGS TO NOTE Professionally managed by Hi-Desert Dwellings
• RENTAL AGREEMENT There will be a rental agreement sent out that will need a signature to complete the reservation
• A/C The Martian Rose is cooled by central air conditioning and is programmed by a nest thermostat.
• ROADS The property is located on about 10 miles of dirt roads and we have very specific directions to get to the property
• WIFI Please note the wifi may be spotty at times due to the remote location of the home.
• BATHROOM The Martian Rose has a toilet and a urinal in the bathroom
• NOISE The Martian Rose is located close to the maritime base and can occasionally hear and feel the house shaking during their test “bombing”. It only happens occasionally and is only during the middle of the day.
• Critters There are bugs, bats and other desert critters that frequent the outside area of the property. They're fun to watch, and will leave you alone but we just want to be sure everyone is aware that since it's a remote desert property, they are occasionally present.
• Security cameras There are 2 and only 2 security cameras on the property. They are only for security of the property. The alerts are turned off when guest are staying at the house. The cameras are visible and in plan sight. One is positioned at the entrance to the front door. It is aimed at the paths leading to the door, and does not look onto the front patio or at the hot tub. The second is positioned at the entrance to the kitchen door and looks toward the tower. There is no camera that looks at the back patio or the doors that lead from the bedrooms onto the patio, nor is there a camera that overlooks the uncovered patio with the fire pit.
• Pets We loves pets and are really happy they come. We do recommend though that pets be supervised or preferably on a leash at all times when they are outside. The reason for not letting them have free run, is although the property is fenced, there are places where rains wash through natural channels and can open up spots under the fence that pets could crawl under. Also there are things that would like to do harm to our furry friends, and not all of them are obvious. Even some of the plants are waiting for just the right moment to attack with thorns. I swear them cholla can fly. Always keep an eye on your little buddies. There are coyotes, hawks, vultures and owls to name a few that hunt for food in the desert.
• TOWER SHOWN IN PICTURES the tower currently is not available for guest use. It's filled with the homeowners personal items and not accessible for guests.
• GUESTS You are not permitted to have any guests on the property beyond those included in your rental agreement unless you request and receive permission from us. That includes day guests and over night guests.
• IDENTITY VERIFICATION You will receive a text or email from Guest Ranger that will ask you to verify your identity and submit a picture of a government issued ID and a selfie. This information will be used to verify that the booking guest matches the credit card used and to help reduce any issues with identity theft. This process is mandatory to complete the booking. The data is protected in a hash-encrypted vault following data security standards including GDPR. Data-input in the vault is encrypted in a two-way function where information is scrambled using an encryption key and unscrambled later using a decryption key. On top of that, we use hashing to add an extra layer of security using a one-way function where a unique message digest is generated from an input file or a string of text. No keys are used.

Wonderful

We were so happy with this rental and would definitely stay again for another visit. The whole place was neat and tidy and very well stocked. We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub after long hikes in nearby Joshua Tree too! We also loved the effort that went into the Martian theme of the whole place and appreciated every little space, astronaut, alien detail!
The house is an artistic UFO themed eclectic wonder. The marble milky way and planets floor mosaic is a true work of art. This is not a swanky kind of place. It is basic natural beauty, with many remnants of its jackrabbit past. The acreage is ripe with assemblage art mixed with raw desert. Very dog friendly, with fenced in property full of birds and lizards to keep any dog happy.
The stay was very secluded. Definitely need to follow the directions that are put in the guide or you can definitely get lost. Loved how dog friendly the property was! Will definitely stay here again! 5 stars. Our pups loved it too.

Fun time
Not exactly what we expected. I think the pictures over sold the place slightly. Overall, though, we had a fun time.
We enjoyed the solitude and privacy provided by this property. We loved being able to walk around the property and see the gorgeous views from all sides. The Martian themed decor adds to the creativity of the place. The furniture for stargazing was perfect and they even provided Sherpa blankets for extra coziness around the house. Great find!
