Can words do justice to this incredible location? Surrounded by desert, you'll feel like you're in your own Western here. With an abundance of outdoor spaces, you've got plenty of vantage points to enjoy the view – especially from the hot tub. The single-bedroom annexe is a nice touch, ideally suited for couples looking for privacy. Despite appearances, you're not far from civilization here – a twenty-minute walk will bring you to a coffee shop, and you'll find a supermarket just a five-minute drive away. And with a free pass into Joshua Tree National Park (a fifteen-minute drive), you can explore to your heart's content.

You’ll feel wonderfully secluded at this homestead in Joshua Tree, surrounded by the Mojave Desert and arresting views of the rolling mountains. Open, bright and instantly welcoming, the home’s interiors are colourful and cheerful, matching its vibrant pops of oranges, reds and blues with the natural hues found in the arid landscape that surrounds you. We love the huge windows that allow the light to pour in and the open-plan kitchen with its bar stools inviting casual breakfasts before a day of exploring. Head out to visit Joshua Tree National Park – an eight-minute drive away – or walk ten minutes to explore downtown Joshua Tree with its eco-markets, saloons, restaurants and wine bars. After a day of adventuring, come back home to mix yourself a margarita and pop a record on to dance to, or head out to the shaded deck to watch the sunset over the desert with a cold beer. As night closes in, light the fire pit and watch the sky turn into a dazzling show of stars before retreating to your cool bedrooms for a serene night’s sleep.

Set in over an acre of private desert, The Sundial is as characteristic a piece of modern desert architecture as you’ll see. The home is enveloped by the stillness and tranquility that comes with such isolation – evenings spent on the terrace beneath the stars offer a different speed of life to the city. The views of the national park at sunset are breathtaking, and the way that the interiors open up to nature, framing the vistas, is unique. It’s also worth mentioning that the location is pretty convenient. Despite the feeling of complete seclusion, downtown Joshua Tree is about five minutes away, with Palm Springs less than hour. And Michael and his team go the extra mile in their levels of service, providing a dedicated hospitality concierge in order to help you arrange anything you want or need.

Escape to this remote studio sanctuary and reconnect with mother nature. This is more than just an unpretentious cabin in the desert – this is a home that invites you to let go of life's complications and to instead find your roots in nature and embrace the bear necessities – pretty much in keeping with the Joshua Tree area surrounding it. The highlight of this home is, of course, soaking in the granite bathtub with water supplied from the mineral-rich hot spring. Take this moment to absorb the water's healing properties and nourish your body. Staying here is also about spending days and nights on the porch, breathing in the clean air with sunrise stretches, daily meditation and stargazing in the desert evening's clear night skies which – in our opinion – is some of the best stargazing on the planet. Inside the design is simple with hand-dyed indigo bedding and touches of local art – the sleek desert motif is clear, and a perfect complement to adventures and hikes in the natural landscape all around. Take the half-hour drive to Joshua Tree National Park, and don't forget to take your camera with you – we can vouch for the sublime vistas.

Surrounded by ten acres of stunning desert landscape in the Yucca Valley, this remarkable net-zero energy home really is the epitome of a secluded getaway. It’s been profiled in Dwell Magazine as well as on countless high-end websites, and you can immediately see why. With glass sliding doors in each room inviting you to step out into the wild beauty outside, there’s a seamless flow between indoors and outdoors making this home feel completely at one with the Mojave Desert. We love the balcony equipped with a sun chair – accessed via the master bedroom and living room – and the outdoor shower that will get any morning off to a refreshing start. Spend the day hiking around your sun-drenched house, taking in the majesty of the ancient junipers, weathered boulders, desert oaks and piñon pines, or hop in your car to visit Joshua Tree National Park, just a twenty-minute drive away. After a day of adventuring, come back home for drinks around the fire pit before firing up the barbecue for an alfresco feast. Then end the night with a soak in the hot tub while you watch the night sky turn into a blanket of shimmering stars. 

The Graham Residence

Joshua Tree, with its remarkable cragged landscapes and wide-open spaces, is bound to inspire the artist in you. This home provides all the tools you need to set that creativity free – art supplies, a studio space, a blackboard wall for brainstorming and an art rail on which to hang your work. The home itself was designed to inform and inspire, from the photography books lining the walls to the remarkable sculptural “nest” chair in the yard. If your creative passions are more culinary, the dual-sink kitchen has plenty of counter space on which to create gourmet meals, and there's a barbecue outside for grilling skewers. After dinner, watch the stars rise from the luxurious hot tub before huddling around the fire pit with a mug of mulled wine. Joshua Tree Visitor Center is just a four-minute drive away – and with an electric car charger in the garage, you won't run out of juice.

Outdoor Bathtub

There's something special about desert light, and this captivating Joshua Tree retreat is the perfect place to observe it. The sunsets are visible from the outdoor Jacuzzi or cooling cowboy tub, while the mirrored dome in the garden was designed with stargazing in mind. It's clear as soon as you arrive that your hosts, Cherish and Ramon, have put a lot of effort into the interiors of the home, and they've bestowed it with a certain rustic desert charm that's hard to pinpoint. Of course, it doesn't hurt that you can step directly out onto the deck in the cool of the morning and watch the desert critters scurrying around before they're forced to retreat from the heat of the day. If you want to head off for the day, the west entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is only two miles away, your gateway to almost 800,000 acres of mystic desert. Your hosts also provide two eclectic bikes that you can use to pedal your way across the desert.

Nestled among large boulders and desert sands, this home is a true Joshua Tree getaway with a private saltwater pool/spa and outdoor shower. With no neighbours around, it's an escape from civilisation that's at one with nature and design. The floor-to-ceiling moving glass walls blur the lines between the indoors/outdoors, allowing you to take advantage of the surroundings at all times. Inside, works by local artists and famous designers merge, while the kitchen sets the scene for great meals. We could go on and on about this home – but you should really check it out for yourself!

Desert Skies

An architect's eye has been turned to this Yucca Valley getaway, which pops out of the desert in clean lines, stamped textiles, and potted plants. The home, which belongs to a local activist and artist, is an oasis of cool; white walls, hanging lights, and reclaimed wooden furniture are the name of the game here, while a monochrome, metro-tiled bathroom is perfect for soaking or scrolling up your Instagram feed. The real draw here, however, is the incredible location. When we say you're out in nature, we really mean it. Reached by a sandy dirt track, it feels as wild as the desert landscape that surrounds it. Relax in the cowboy-style tub during the day or explore the two acres of Joshua Tree forest or Joshua Tree National Park (a twenty-five-minute drive away), before setting up camp for the night. With little light pollution, the starry sky is clearer out here than ever – whether you're gathered around the fire pit, sat under the fairy light-strewn canopy or ogling constellations through the telescope, it's a sanctuary of peace, solitude and natural beauty.

As soon as you step through the door of this renovated 1960s house, you know you’ve found something pretty special. With a dazzling desert setting and an interior that could grace the cover of a glossy magazine, it’s not your average home. The vibe is mid-century meets cowgirl, with macrame wall hangings, folky raffia, battered leather and buffalo horns. The living space is centred around a vast sheepskin that’s like walking on a cloud, and the full width glass doors pull back completely, blurring the line between inside and out. And you’ll definitely want to spend lots of time outside – the views are spectacular. Days here pass by like a dream, hiking through the rugged landscapes of Joshua Tree National Park, or exploring the artsy town, before coming back to your oasis for a soak in the saltwater hot tub. There’s also an outdoor rain shower if you want to wash the desert dust away. As the sun dips below the horizon, sip a sundowner in the retro hanging chair before gathering round the firepit to toast s’mores as the stars pop out one by one. 

The Oasis

Parking On Street

When architect, Malek Alqadi combined astute environmentalism with his exquisite taste, he didn't just create this home, he sparked a revolution in sustainable tourism. Set on the edge of the Joshua Tree National Park, guests take the lead in operating this clean yet luxurious off-grid space. Think serious stargazing sessions through a telescope, showering by a boulder, and falling asleep under the desert sky with a crackling fireplace at your feet—the second bedroom is open to the elements, with no walls or ceiling. And it's packed with technology too. You can measure your energy consumption, change your light settings and set cooling and heating temperatures of the space. Wrapped in salvaged weathering steel and up-cycled details, it raises the bar on stylish, conscious travel.

Once belonging to a member of rock royalty, Queen, this home now functions as a gateway to the world-famous Joshua Tree. With four large and colourful bedrooms, one located in the studio, a pink exterior and bold decorative elements, this house is an eclectic and fun escape for groups of friends or even a family wanting to explore the National Park at your doorstep. Outside, where you can dine alfresco or lounge poolside with drinks, you'll find yourself face-to-face with panoramic views of San Jacinto and Big Bear Mountains. Now throw in a hot tub and a fire pit, and you can see why this is a popular choice.

Home Cinema Setup

Located in the heart of Joshua Tree, this knock-out hideaway has been featured in everything from fashion shoots to music videos as well as Andy Samberg's film "Palm Springs" – a fact that doesn't surprise us considering its otherworldly style. This home subtly blends into the desertscape with its earthy tones and rusty finishes, featuring a fusion of Wabi-Sabi and modern design.

There are large sliding doors that open to reveal the sandy 8-acre private garden and mountains beyond. Make a beeline for the expansive outdoor deck and saltwater pool with integrated hot tub and Baja shelves. Lie back in the cool water and gaze up at an endless blue sky. At night, you can spot the Milkyway as you chat with friends around the 10-foot fire pit. Cooking up a feast or crafting cocktails is easy with the chef's kitchen, making this home utterly perfect for a desert escape with friends or family. 

With free access to the Desert View Conservation Area of Joshua Tree National Park, you'll find mountain views and trails that can keep you occupied for days here. Though when you are ready to get back in touch with civilisation, rest assured you'll be just a four-minute drive to the centre of Joshua Tree with restaurants, coffee shops, and yoga studios within easy reach. 


High Desert Mirage

Outdoor Kitchen

There are cacti, desert and mountain views aplenty in this fabulous home in the heart of the Yucca Valley. Just over six kilometres from the Joshua Tree Visitor Centres and nearby cafes, and even closer to the nearest desert museum, you get the full Joshua Tree experience without being completely cut off from civilisation. The house is set on a five-acre plot and decorated in the laid-back and comfortable style you'd expect. While the home is equipped with all the usual mod cons, it's retained plenty of quaint charm with wood-panelled walls, a record player and retro games console sitting alongside a lightning-fast internet connection and various streaming options. There's also a separate casita ideal for couples. We loved the wicker mirrors, wall hangings, hammock-style hanging seats and the peaceful, minimalist bedroom interiors. Outside you'll find a wood-fired hot tub ideal for chilly evenings and a pink stucco in-ground pool for afternoons. When you're not neck-deep in water, the wooden seating area and firepit is a perfect place to admire the pink and red sunset skies.

Wild Rocks is one of those homes that always appears effortlessly chic. Designed by Oller & Pejic, it’s an architectural gem set against Yucca Valley’s rugged desert terrain. The sliding glass doors blur the lines between the inside and outside, allowing you to enjoy home-cooked meals on the terrace, gaze at the stars, and relax in the hot tub. We also loved the enormous record collection, which features some of the host Joann’s all-time favourite tunes. Found just a short drive from Joshua Tree National Park, there are plenty of exciting adventures waiting for you.

Wild Rocks

Resting on two acres of land with impressive views of the Joshua Tree Park mountains, this unique C-shaped home invites you to enjoy a relaxing break with luxurious amenities. Designed to combine indoor and outdoor living, you'll find "La Cantina" door walls in every room – so you can create the coolest indoor/outdoor bar in the desert. In the centre, you'll find a wind-buffered patio with a rustic dining table and retractable canopy, so you can seek shade from the sun by day and reveal the spectacular starry skies by night. Soak in the hot tub or cowboy bath, gather around the fire pit to share stories, or doze off in the hammock. Inside, the home is equally impressive, with a desert chic vibe and plenty of room to dance and socialise while enjoying this joyful space.

If nothing but the best is good enough for you and your loved ones, then Mojave Rhythm is the retreat you've been waiting for. Built with the ethos of desert luxury, this home will let you rest your eyes on its beautiful minimalist features while keeping you relaxed and entertained. The pool is refreshing, there are plenty of loungers to go around for everyone, and seats in the shade for your afternoon drinks. Catching up and socialising is easy with all the nooks around the house and a variety of activities to try, from ping pong to basketball, as well as your very own foosball table. Elsewhere, you're only a seven-minute drive from the entrance to the breathtaking National Park with its rugged rock formations and stark desert landscapes – don't forget your camera on this trip. Return from your hike and de-stress in the outdoor jacuzzi – this might become a daily habit, but so might the curling up by fire pit, where you can keep warm while watching the spectacular night sky in Joshua Tree. When you're ready to tuck in, slip under the sheets knowing that the only sounds you'll hear are the crickets nearby.

Mojave Rhythm

A hilltop cabin in a unique area of the desert, this place is nestled on its own between Pioneertown and Yucca Valley on what feels like the scenic drive through Joshua Tree National Park. The trees, rocks, and landscape just outside the doors are just as breathtaking as anything you would see in the park, except you have them all to yourself. 

There’s a wood-burning stove to keep you warm on those chill nights, while one of your musically talented friends can play a tune on the grand piano (though there’s also a Bluetooth sound system, for convenience). On the walls, you’ll find original art by the late Gerald Zeldin, and an interior so impressive it was featured in the NY Times fashion section. You can feel the history of this old mining cabin in the wood-beamed ceiling and clapboard (yet modern)  bathroom. Picture-frame windows let the sunlight stream into this boho-chic interior and let you gaze out over the endless desert before you.

This place is totally off-grid and once you’ve experienced the unique feeling of heating the outdoor hot tub with firewood as you gaze at the stars, there’s no going back.

Ranch Of The Rising Sun

Escapes to this Yucca Valley home are guaranteed to be unforgettable. With endless views of the Mojave Desert, guests can spend hours watching pink sunsets from the hot tub, dining alfresco against the serrated silhouette, picking out constellations from a sky full of stars and toasting marshmallows over the fire pit. Inside, designer furniture and poured concrete floors feel extra stylish, and the bedrooms with luxury mattresses, percale cotton bedding and original artwork demand long lie-ins. Put an album on the record player as made-from-scratch meals cook away in the up-to-the-minute kitchen, and when dinner’s demolished, clear the plates ready for an evening of board games. After practising yoga on the patio with the sunrise, mornings are to be spent exploring; pull on your hiking boots and make your way to the Joshua Tree National Park, a twenty-minute drive from the property. Stop off in Yucca Valley’s Old Town on your way back for a bite to eat and a well-earned, ice-cold drink.

Desert Willow

Joshua Tree Vista is nestled in the idyllic 'Friendly Hills' neighborhood, a sanctuary just moments away from Joshua Tree National Park. A haven of peace and tranquility, this desert retreat offers unparalleled privacy and breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. Immerse yourself in the serenity of the desert as you relax in our outdoor gazebo or take a refreshing dip in the cowboy pool. As the sun sets, unwind and soak away your cares in the hot tub, surrounded by the beauty of nature. Inside, you will find two spacious bedrooms, two modern bathrooms, and generous living spaces designed for comfort and relaxation. Stay connected with our lightning-fast Internet for work or play. Experience the magic of Joshua Tree Vista - your ultimate desert oasis.

Desert Dream Retreat

This small but perfectly formed cabin can be found in the heart of Yucca Valley on 2.5 acres of wilderness. The perfect base for a small family or two couples, it’s been thoughtfully decorated with a mid-century design meets boho vibe. We love the funky geometric tiles in the kitchen and the colourful rugs scattered throughout the home. Drive down the unmade dirt track to Pioneertown for a taste of the Wild West or head to Joshua Tree National Park for wild landscapes and stellar hiking opportunities. We can see ourselves relaxing on the canopied sun lounger with a glass of something cold in hand as the sun goes down. The stargazing in the hi-desert is something to write home about so after supper, just lie back and enjoy. 

Flower Girls

Travellers have long been drawn to the desert to discover its secrets. And this home in the heart of Joshua Tree makes the perfect setting to experience the magic of this landscape. 

Stepping inside feels like entering a calm oasis. The interior has been beautifully designed to reflect the natural elements, creating a soft and gentle atmosphere. It’s easy to feel at home here. From the moment you wake up, the desert light will draw you outside and onto the patio. This is a wonderful place to begin the day. Take a refreshing morning dip in the pool before gathering for breakfast around the outdoor dining table. 

From hiking and guided rock climbing, to sound baths and stargazing, there are many ways to experience the majestic power of the desert. Joshua Tree National Park is only a ten–minute drive away while the village is only a five–minute drive – here you’ll find all the supplies you could need for a fulfilling stay.  

Whether you’re here for an adventure or to simply relax, this home is a gateway to the heart of desert living. As the day draws to a close, light up the barbecue, pour a glass of something special and watch the sky turn pink. 

The Super Moon

This home is clearly a labour of love, and it reflects a lot of the host's personality. There are spaces for meditation and yoga, both indoors and out, and the desert aesthetic has been perfectly captured in the design. A renovated mid-century home, it's minimalist and charming. Outside, you have a grill and a hot tub, which is a great spot for watching the stars move across the clear desert skies. All of that’s without even mentioning the location. You can walk into Joshua Tree Village, which has several excellent cafes and restaurants, and if you drive ten minutes in the other direction, you’ll reach the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park.


Mojave Haus

Pool / Snooker Table

Visiting Joshua Tree is one thing, but seeing a big portion from the comfort of your bath is another. If the latter sounds like a bucket list goal, then Zenith Valley is for you. With absolute privacy and stunning views, this home is a great getaway for those who want to kick their feet up and relax — for a few days at least. A typical day here starts with a sunny breakfast and an optional yoga routine, for which there's plenty of space. Then head outside on the terrace to lounge and read, before dipping into a hot bath. When it comes to socialising, you've got plenty of activities to try out, like ping pong, pool, as well as your own poker table. In the evenings, retreat to the luxurious bedrooms for some rest and enjoy the sounds of Yucca Valley far away from the buzzing city traffic. 

Zenith Valley

Set in two acres of private desert landscape, this bijou cabin is a place to unwind and let the rush of modern life slip away. In the rugged landscape surrounding this home, you’ve got a hot tub and macrame hammocks sitting beneath the big desert sky. Out favourite spot to watch the sunset is the ‘moon bench’ and once the sky has speckled with stars its time to get a fire crackling in the white-plaster fire pit and look for shooting stars.

Inside, you can feel that the hosts have poured their heart and soul into the decor, where crisp walls are adorned with object d’art in every desert hue. Furniture is vintage and hand-picked, and there’s a record player to curate the perfect soundtrack to your desert escape. The kitchen has all the essentials, and the selection of ceramic crockery feels as though each mug and plate has been considered.

If you want to get out and explore, Joshua Tree town is a twenty-minute drive and the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is just beyond for endless desert and mountain hiking trails.  

Moonstone Mesa

Games Room

This Joshua Tree home is a gorgeous piece of modern architecture, set in over an acre of land in the middle of the desert. It offers great access to the park, as well as other hiking trails, and while you shouldn’t ignore that, the home is a destination in itself. The views of the landscape are probably the first things that you’ll notice, and with good reason. On top of that, pools, hot tubs, and fire pits aren’t unusual in and around Joshua Tree, but rarely do you come across examples that have so much style. Each amenity fits within the aesthetic of the larger home in a deliberate, measured way and a dedicated hospitality concierge is on hand to help you arrange anything you may want or need. We can go on to list more features, but even that wouldn’t capture the grandeur of the home. Relaxing beside the pool as the sun sets or swapping stories around the fire pit under the stars are the kind of experiences you won’t forget in a hurry. 

Shadow Stone

This home is an oasis of coolness and calm within the desert. Inside, glorious vintage Moroccan textiles cover the floors, while the art is provided by artists that host Denise represents in her art gallery. Architectural accents also lurk behind every corner – we especially loved the exposed beams and Mission-style plaster. The outdoors of the property are wild and isolated and will appeal to the adventurous and those craving solitude. Steps have been taken to tame the wilderness in ways that inspire relaxation, such as the outdoor bathtub, shower, plunge-pool, and many hammocks.

Merchant House High Desert

Arriving at this home will feel like you're walking into the pages of a glossy magazine. Utterly luxurious, effortlessly cool and Instagram-chic, this home is a sensory experience. First up, there are the joyful colours – every room makes its own mark, from the sumptuous red of the living room to the creamy vanilla, cool avocado green and tart raspberry pink of the bedrooms. The attention to detail is second-to-none, with carefully curated pieces such as a 1970s fireplace, a custom boulder coffee table and Guatemalan drapes creating a stylish yet serene atmosphere that's in harmony with the landscapes outside. The home sits on five acres of private land and is surrounded by dramatic mountains, vibrant wildflowers, dusty cactus and wildlife including coyotes, cottontail rabbits and lizards. Our hot tip? Take in all this natural wonder from the flower-filled stock tank swimming pool at sunset. And, with the gates of Joshua Tree National Park just a half-hour drive away, you can easily explore more of these stunning, almost lunar landscapes.
