This Southern California Guard Tower Lets You Live a Medieval Story Overnight

Did you ever dream of living in a castle as a child? Did you pretend you were a character in a medieval story, possibly fighting trolls and ogres? Well, you can live out your childhood dreams when you book a stay at this Airbnb.

Check out this castle guard tower vacation rental in Southern California. Located near Joshua Tree National Park, this tiny home Airbnb is a rental with a lot of twists and curves. It’s truly one of a kind.

Joshua Tree National Park is one of our favorite national parks in California. This desert park is home to remarkable scenery and incredible outdoor activities like rock climbing, hiking, and stargazing. With so much to do, you need the perfect basecamp for all of your adventures, and there is nothing quite like this guard tower Airbnb.

This tiny house rental is tucked away in the Joshua Tree community, just outside of Joshua Tree National Park. It is part of Castle House: Estate, a unique glamping destination complete with several lodging options like yurt tents and shipping container tiny homes. There are acres of incredible desert views, and you’ll feel far from the hustle and bustle of daily life when you stay here.

The Castle House Guard Tower is one of the options at the Castle House: Estate, and the type of home you likely dreamed about as a kid. It’s perfect for a solo escape or even a couple’s getaway as the home comfortably accommodates two guests. The vacation rental boasts an eye-catching cylinder design, with three levels and a loft. The ability to climb stairs is a must when staying here.

Inside the vacation rental, you’ll immediately notice the curved walls and the unique furniture. Every piece of furniture in this home has been designed to fit the non-traditional design of the walls. I particularly love the large windows as they let in plenty of natural light and make this Airbnb feel just a little bit larger.

When the weather is nice, you can open the rooftop hatch and spend some time lying on top of the tower. Here, you may feel like a guard protecting your space. Joshua Tree National Park is an International Dark Sky Park, and with such close proximity to the park, this is where you'll want to be on clear nights. You never know what starry scene you’ll get to witness.

The interior of the home is quite exquisite, but there is much more outside its main walls. Outdoors, you’ll find a private wood-burning fire pit, grill, and chairs. Bring the makings for s’mores, and you’ve got everything you need for the perfect evening. Keep in mind that the bathroom is separate from the home but is just a short walk away.

There’s something intriguing and exciting about the Guard Tower Airbnb in Joshua Tree, California. It’s truly where your childhood imagination can be unleashed. It’s a place where fairytales and medieval stories can become a reality. It’s the perfect getaway destination.
