We’ve now been Airbnb hosts for about five years, and our time hosting has quite honestly completely changed our way of living. Airbnb has asked us to share the honest ups and downs with you all, and why these past five years have both been the most fulfilling and challenging years of our lives. There’s […]
Recycling is Not Enough
Allow me to quickly jump in to re-introduce my sister Jenny before we dive into her second guest post on sustainable living! She began with one small idea: to cut out her use of plastic bags, and from there has grown to reduce her consumption in so many other areas. Her journey has not been […]
Opening Night at JTH Tucson
A month ago on the full harvest moon, we opened our doors to JTH Tucson. We celebrated our new inn with art, music, whiskey, food, and this incredible Tucson community.

We’ve been indulging in the warm desert nights as we split time between our home in Joshua Tree and our new Inn in Tucson, AZ. Our September New Moon Playlist is inspired by the “bathwater” evening air that draws out the subtle nuances in the environment around us. The atmospheric music of the magic songstress […]

We did a lot of research to find the perfect sofa for the shared living room at JTH Tucson—it needed to be something large enough not to be dwarfed by the room, comfortable, and practical to clean.

New Moon Playlist featuring Chase McBride
Surrounding the February new moon, our days are full of contrast. Warm days and cold nights transition us through time, with spring desert blooms to look forward to. This season, our New Moon playlist features our close friend and incredibly talented musician Chase McBride. Chase curates our New Moon playlist and is typically the one […]
Places to Explore Just Outside of Joshua Tree National Park
The current government shutdown and temporary park closures have prompted us to remember all of the surrounding landscapes outside of Joshua Tree National Park that deserve just as much love and attention as the national park. We’ve gotten many questions about what trails to explore and what to see in areas outside of the park […]
Before Photos: Saguaro Inn
The past few months have been an amazing whirlwind between releasing our new book ‘At Home in Joshua Tree‘, and closing on our dream property in Tucson, Arizona. If you know us well, you’ve likely heard us talking about our dream of opening up an inn next to a national park one day. Rich obsessively […]
