Good to know

The Dew Drop is the perfect hideaway for the solo intrepid traveler. A renovated canned ham trailer from 1955, it features a comfy bed and small seating area. The Dew Drop comes with access to a shared bathroom and shared outdoor kitchen. Located on a 6-acre compound, the Drew Drop offers true solitude when you want it, and easy connection when you don’t. Wander down to the shared pool, jacuzzi, and outdoor kitchen, or disappear into the hills behind the property, where hundreds of acres of pristine government land stretch endlessly—just as wild and breathtaking as anything in the national park. Please note: this is an adults-only property. No one under 18 is permitted. The Pool The pool and jacuzzi span 80 feet—ideal for swimming laps, sunbathing, or soaking in stillness. The vibe is relaxed, clothing-optional, and deeply respectful. Most guests go nude in the hot tub, which is kept warm and ready each evening around sunset. We aim to foster a space of freedom, ease, and creative communion—with nature and one another. There are few rules here, but a few gentle reminders: Please rinse off before entering the pool or hot tub—no oils, sunscreen, or dirt. Be respectful, kind, and calm. This is a liberal, open environment, but we deeply value thoughtfulness. Some of our closest friends were once Airbnb guests. Others come here for complete solitude. We honor both paths—please do the same. If you have questions, reach out anytime. Be sure to read the reviews. I hope to welcome you soon. PS: There is a fire pit. You’re welcome to use it—only if there’s no wind and the weather isn’t too hot or dry. Bring your own wood and please use caution.

Tao has created a unique space in the desert that seems to live and breathe with it. There is a balance of glamping luxury and oneness with the elements of Nature that for me made for an atmosphere of personal retreat, creative inspiration and occasional communal connection. The location is also fantastic, with its proximity to Joshua Tree National Park, the town, and the balance of accessibility yet separation from main roads / civilization.
