Casa Mami

When all this coronavirus pandemic craziness is over, you will probably want to escape to somewhere special. Sitting on 2.5 acres of sprawling desert in Pioneertown, CA, at the edge of Joshua Tree National Park, Casa Mami is a 2 bedroom, one bath, eco-friendly overnight design retreat that is perfect for a weekend escape. The minimalist decluttered house only features the essentials, and everything has a purpose. At night the stars are the main event, sit by the patio or lay back in the yard and immerse yourself into an amazing stargazing experience.
