Matt and Kristi Kautz are newlyweds from Santa Monica, CA. Their high desert story began with a shared obsession with Joshua Tree. They explored it together often, until they finally decided to buy a place nearby of their own. When they came across two mid-century houses on ten pristine acres bordering protected land as far as the eye can see, they fell in love. Local legends of alien encounters and vortex fields on the property inspired them to transform the '50's houses into Starship Landing: a place to go when you need space, whether it’s physical, mental, or cosmic.

Today, they couldn't be happier that they get to share this magical desert oasis with their guests.
