I am part of a network of STR investors all over the world (including the Smokies, Joshua Tree, and Florida) and everyone is having a hard time making the numbers work but the Poconos still hold strong.You definitely need to be careful with STR regulations but do your research and team up with a great realtor (@Mark Shay is a Rockstar) who understands/keeps up with the local meetings.

Is anyone else experiencing a slow down in the Joshua Tree STR market?

Also the driveway is part of a separate empty 0.25 acre lot that the seller wants to sell with the property. they're asking for 620k for the lot with property alone and has listed the property in the 850s when they were trying to sell it with the lot together. both lots still need cleared of trees, shrubs, need a fence.

They would each share a private road, but each cabin has their own driveway and private parking (you can’t even see the other cabin from the front porches when the leaves are on the trees) also, the 4 bedroom doesn’t have a view, but the 2 bedroom has a very good Mountain View.has anyone done a listing like this?
