Artist/photographer, Perry Hoffman created a wondrous desert retreat. Now he has also opened the doors to his own home, THE TILE HOUSE and worked hands on with tile and grout with local craftsmen to create the ideal retreats. Bring your watercolors or sketch pad or nothing at all.

DESERTWONDERLAND is a one bedroom cabin with incredible vistas and a mosaic shower room. No phone. Only a record player...and some records. Wood-burning stove. No fences...

THE TILE HOUSE is a two bedroom house with an outdoor HOT TUB and gated courtyard with firepit and an indoor Buddha fountain perfect for meditation. A phone line for internet access for your laptop. A CD player. iPod dock with speakers. A bar-B-Q. Laundry facility on site. Fireplace and Pellet Stove. A dog-door for your pet to access a fenced and secure yard. Great for large get togethers or a romantic get a way just for two.

BOTH are 7 miles from the town of 29 Palms and the east entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. 360 degree views amid the peace and quiet, beauty and wonder, Perry created a stimulating yet restful desert environment where indoor and outdoor osmosis expands your exposure to the desert he loves. Simple design mixed with intricate patterns excite the eye. Touches of luxury, whimsy, and function make the visitor feel safe but also adventurous. Begin to sense the quiet.

Indoors

Outdoors
Flagstone porches sit in the middle of the vast and open desert. You need not walk two feet to be a part of the wilderness, now it is up to you to look around both micro and macro and see what you can see here. Jack rabbits, cottontails, ravens, scorpions, desert iguana, snakes, gambel's quail, lesser night hawks, owls, coyotes, roadrunners, sphinx moths and kangaroo rats, flash floods, dust devils, lightening storms, summer rains, empty roads, wildflowers and cacti are some of things you might happen to see. So see what you can see. Walk gently in nature. At night, absorb the clear starry skies and August and November meteor showers.

Cradled inside an inspiring work of art you find yourself situated in complete silence, watching desert light crawl across the vast and intricate landscape around you. You are ironically completely alone in the middle of nowhere and yet at the center of something amazing...the universe.
