A House is not a Motel

your bnb in the heart of the mojave

with pacific coast soul

Welp, we changed our name. Two full years of operation. Starting Thérapie created so many opportunities for personal and business growth, but I’ve had an aesthetic vision for white plaster and blue elements like a Greek home settled into the Mojave desert. To keep these ideas packed away would be a disservice the fundamental intention behind Thérapie. Of course in the true nature of my brain, a beach house is perfect in the high desert, a hundred miles from the ocean.

With new developments and a need to grow, we’ve had an evolutionary adaptation to the vacation destination.  Following two successful years of operation with nearly a full year as a Superhost, we feel confident to move into our next growth phase.  We are “Joshua Tree Beach House”, managed by Autry Sound mgmt.

We continue to curate the feel of a Santa Monica home with Joshua Tree National Park as a shore.  White stone and plaster built ins, accents of white marble, handmade rich teak furniture, and woven textiles, combining the elements of beach minimalism.  We’re continuing to build our aesthetic between bookings and should have a cozy fireplace before Thanksgiving and a water feature hopefully around Christmas time.

In the meantime, I want to say thank you to everybody who has used the house for love over the past two years.  We’ve been host to digital nomads, weekend self care getaways from LA, loving and bonding family vacations, for proposals, weddings, and anniversaries, temporary shelters for forest fire evacuees, for yoga retreats,  mushroom trips, and the list not so trippy trips go on.  This is such a rewarding platform and heart filling service to provide.

Thank you all and we love you.
