Matt Landau’s “Unlocked” Podcast
Starship Landing owner Kristi Kautz Interviewed
”Kristi Kautz used to work in the digital entertainment space, so she was familiar with the world of influencers before her property manager Brad Klopman of The Cohost Company suggested offering a few free nights to some instagram influencers in exchange for a fresh set of photos. The tactic ended up becoming a way to unlock their vacation rental, Starship Landing Retreat, to the right kinds of travelers.”

“The Best Airbnb In Yucca Valley”
Excerpt: “But then we drive up to the Starship Landing: Aurora. It’s dark and the rain has stopped by the time we get there after exploring Joshua Tree for a bit. The rain has subsided and the sandy road is soft. We’re deep in a spread out suburb – if Yucca Valley, a town of 29,000, can have suburbs – called Flamingo Heights. Wending my way through the streets lined with mojave yucca and sage, my little rental car slips and slides in the wet, cornmeal sand. And you know what we see shining bright white, red and orange in the night? The best dang AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in.”

And there’s that national park down the road.”

Starship Landing in the article “We Have Arrived, A Desert Encounter”
”Are you constantly seeking adventure? I am delighted to share that even in the dead of summer you can find abundant adventure within a 3 hour drive east of LA. Yucca Valley, Pioneertown and Joshua Tree have so much to offer for the weekend warrior in you. It’s worth the drive to the great escape compound called Starship Luna, at the Starship Landing hosted by The Cohost Company. This is not the first time I have sought out properties by The Cohost Company, but I will tell you this place is luxury desert dwelling. A design dream, Starship Luna has everything you need for a comfortable weekend. Plush furnishing, abundant A/C, hot tub, and enough outdoor space for small gatherings and events. The best part about this outer space cosmic themed compound is its location. Close enough you can jump to and from so many day trip excursions within Joshua Tree, Pioneertown or Palm Springs. Not that you would even need to leave Starship Luna, because its fully loaded with lots of throwback activities that make you feel as if you’ve stepped into a modern time warp of alien kitch with a luxe twist.”

Starship Landing featured in the article “North of Joshua Tree: The Weird, Wild and Wonderful”
“While there are a number of big-chain hotels in the Joshua Tree area, we decided to stay at a wayside Airbnb located in the heart of Flamingo Heights, north part of Yucca Valley. Owned by a Los Angeles couple who splits their time between the desert and tinseltown, the Starship Landing: Aurora was a rollicking fun stay not only because of it’s mid-century modern-come-disco-a-go-go decor but also for it’s heaps of inside and outside fun.”
