Arro Dunes

Wood burning hot tub / pet friendly / pool

Nestled in the vast dunes of 29 Palms, is a secluded and tranquil desert retreat called Arro Dunes with 360 mountain views that sits on 10 unfenced acres once home to the Chemehuevi tribe. Designed with a strong focus on organic materials and fusing inspiration from Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics (the acceptance of imperfections) and minimalist primitive decor, the home brings a beautiful balance of thoughtfully sourced one-of-a-kind antiques alongside modern luxuries.

Good to Know

The entire home has been lovingly renovated, with many of the final touches having been built by us, characterizing the distinctive textures and light of each room. Minimalist decor and neutral palettes connect you to the desert surroundings and offer space to sink into the world around.

Originally built as a desert homestead in 1957, the two bedroom one bathroom home comfortably sleeps up to 4 guests. Dual bi-folding french doors provide a connection to the outdoors as guests enjoy the seating and tea room in the large bedroom. The brick fireplace with steel hood is original to the home, designed and handbuilt by the original owners, and is a key focal point to the homes’ architecture.

Mornings spent sipping coffee, or evening cocktails, next to our expansive original living room window, provide some of the best moments to recharge.

At night, the firepit and 100 sq ft deck offer unending stargazing opportunities while the 10’ foot stock tank is a summer retreat.

The home sits off a dirt road in a small and peaceful neighborhood, navigable by any vehicle and is designed to be an oasis for slow living, away from the noises of the city, though not far from local amenities.

Whether you’re seeking a relaxing quiet retreat or romantic getaway, Arro Dunes is the perfect sanctuary to find peace and solitude.

Great little desert cottage! The surroundings are beautiful and the setting is super private. The house itself is decorated beautifully and functional. The outdoor amenities are right on par with a desert escape and great to unwind. The house was easy to find and the host was easily accessible for any questions. Would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful stay at Jenn’s home! The house is absolutely beautiful, peacefully quiet, and curated with such great taste—it looks exactly like the photos. The location is perfect, offering stunning views at all times of day, even when the sky was a bit grey. Jenn was a fantastic host—super responsive, kind, and incredibly accommodating....
