The space
Juniper Moon Sanctuary, is the love child of Sophia and her little man Charlie. It was her wish to make an adult/child playground and sanctuary for those looking for a retreat. Mamoon Cabin was her part-time home on the property and is now a full-time bnb.

The cabin has recently gone through a remodel with a brand new kitchen, bath, floors and now Super Hosts, Sepi & Ben! The cabin is cozy and perfectly comfortable, with everything you’ll need to make you feel at home. The property has lots of outdoor space to hang-out, dine, take a bath, and 1 acre of untouched desert land to explore. It is equipped with a mini split system providing warmth in the colder months and cool in summer. The cabin features the photography of Maurice Broomfield, Alan Kozlowski, and soon desert artists. Guaranteed one of the most unique desert experiences one could expect to have!

Guest access
Guests have access to entire cabin and the backyard space. The outdoor bath is ready for use and available!

Neighbourhood highlights

Juniper Terrace, the neighborhood where the house is located, is one of the best kept secrets of all of the high desert residential neighborhoods. When Sinatra was making Palm Springs infamous, rogues, artists, and free spirits created a little corner of Yucca Valley into Joshua tree lined driveways adorned with art and expansive panoramic views. A walk down the road from Old Town Yucca: Frontier Cafe, Cedar and Sage Yoga Studio, Desierto Alto, Luna Sourdough Bakery, Holistic Ranch Grocer, Shop Wheelhouse and more. At the upper edge of town, Juniper Moon Sanctuary is on a dirt road, next to untouched land and near the Black Rock entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. Enjoy the feeling of being deep in nature with all of the comforts a few minutes away.

Where I went to school: University of San Francisco
My work: Filmmaker, researcher
I, like many that move here, came to the desert because there was something greater than myself calling me. I was drawn by the stars, the plants and their medicine, and the way the landscape can soothe anyone's soul. I found Juniper Moon February of 2017. I began reconstructing Juniper Moon as soon as I got her with my son who was 5 at the time. (Now 13) I create natural remedies and spaces to heal in nature. I have tons of scientific, ethnobotanical, and ethnographical research I share.
