Escape from the stress of urban life with a stay in this charming log cabin, surrounded by ancient pine forests. With breathtaking walks right from your doorstep, a fantastic board game collection, and little-to-no phone signal, you are guaranteed to come back from this trip feeling completely invigorated.

A small family or group of four, plus any well-behaved pets, can spend some quality time together in the tranquil setting. Sit around the crackling fireplace on chilly nights or barbecue under the stars on a balmy summer's night. 

Rustic yet intimate, the interior feels like you're tucked away as California's little secret. The peaceful ambiance is ideal if you're looking to work on a creative project and need a place to let your ideas flow.

Outside of the retreat, the encompassing scenery is adorned by enticing walking trails. Follow the winding paths through the exotic flora and fauna that decorate the rural landscape. It's like walking through a magical fairytale. 

Scout Cabin

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

Vast sliding walls of glass blur the lines between indoors and out in this spacious, mid-century home, where glorious Palm Springs sunshine and gorgeous mountain views steal the show.

Inside, an open lounge is centred around a stylish fireplace with chic period furniture. The dining area is separated from the kitchen by a breakfast bar, beyond which you'll find everything you need to cook up a feast for the whole family.

There's even more living space outside, inviting you to spend sun-soaked days under cloudless skies. The kidney-shaped pool offers a chance to cool off from the heat of the day in between sun lounger sessions, while those who prefer to stick to the shade can lounge on the outdoor sofa under the bright blue parasol. 

The adjacent hot tub makes for romantic nights staring up at the stars, followed by cosying up around the fire pit to dry off before dinner. Tuck into sumptuous homemade meals fresh from the grill, or bring in the professionals for restaurant-quality food in the comfort of your home. Alternatively, stroll half an hour into central Palm Springs to experience the dynamic desert dining scene.

Silent Cinema

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

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

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

Fitting more than ten guests into a single home is tricky, so this estate is comprised of three — all luxurious and equipped with everything you might need for a great stay. It's situated in the middle of California's wine country, making it easy to visit the nearby wineries to sample the local vintages. For those who prefer staying in and relaxing, there's plenty to do at home too. You'll find the sparkling private swimming pool surrounded by plenty of sun loungers, where you can splash around or catch some rays. There's also a barbecue area and a fire pit, ideal for keeping your guests cosy and well-fed after dark. Plus, there's plenty to explore in the sprawling grounds – including your own vineyard, fruit orchard, and even an equestrian centre. It's hard not to form lifelong memories when you're in such a special place – we think you'll love sharing your days in this idyllic slice of California with your family or friends. 

The Good King

Just steps from the sand in Santa Barbara’s West Beach, this three-bedroom townhouse puts you right in the middle of it all – State Street, the Funk Zone, the pier, and the harbor are all an easy stroll away. But it’s not just about location here –  the interior is just as noteworthy. Spread out across three levels, you’ll have plenty of space to relax—whether that’s in the open living area, the private third-floor patio, or soaking in the master’s deep bathtub. Meanwhile, beach chairs, towels, and a pack-and-play are included, so you can skip the extra packing and start enjoying your Santa Barbara stay from day one.

Santa Barbara Oasis

We’re willing to bet that some good-natured individual watched a rainbow materialise in the sky, grabbed a handful of the resulting magic, threw it in a gift box wrapped in serenity and released it into this home. With eye-catching custom murals and generous touches of blue all around, you’ll find yourself in an oasis as exuberant as the outdoors of Palm Springs that Hollywood stars can’t seem to get enough of. 

The home is a mid-century modern delight, and you’ll find a library with a lounge just for reading, a pool terrace dotted with energising palm trees and sensational views of the mountains, and a games room made for indulging in some friendly competition with your fellow guests. You won't want to leave but if you ever decide to, an adventure is always calling out in the Indian Canyons and you’re a five-minute drive from the eclectic mix of shops (everything from candy shops to record stores) in Downtown Palm Springs.

The Blue Ridge

Immerse yourself in the laidback spirit of Palm Springs from your luxurious villa. Blending a futuristic style with classic Palm Springs characteristics, this chic home will feel like your own private resort. With a shimmering pool, jacuzzi, putting green, and bocce ball set, it ticks everything off the Southern Californian wish list. Not to mention the panoramic mountain scenery – the perfect view while you catch the sun from your tanning deck. 

Palm Springs is laced with a tinge of 80s Hollywood nostalgia, and you can certainly feel that here. If not for the opulent interior and luxurious gardens, then for the iconic Pacman machine. Work on beating each other’s high score, when you’re not lounging by the pool, that is. 

After a few drinks around the chic outdoor sofa, fire up the barbecue for a grilled feast. And when day turns to dusk, the best seat in the house to appreciate the sunset is around the atmospheric fire pit. Sip on glasses of Californian wine while the sky dims into the shades of purple and pink.

If you never wanted to leave this slice of heaven, we’d get it. But although you feel secluded, you’re in a great location for exploring Palm Springs, whether that’s by hiking through the canyons, cycling down the valleys, or walking around the palm tree-fringed streets. 

Flamingos & Polka Dots

You'll find classic Palm Springs-style in abundance at this iconic 1965 Alexander home in Oasis Del Sol. The backyard is the main draw. Swim in the pool, fire up the BBQ, or unwind in the spa at sunset in front of mountain views. Inside, the decor won't blow you away, but it's spacious, with two living rooms and two dining areas. At full capacity, two guests will share the Murphy bed in the office, and you’ll be sharing three bathrooms – easy enough for a group or family. You can walk to a few local spots, but it’s worth hiring a car to reach downtown Palm Springs, Palm Canyon Drive, or some of the famous hiking trails nearby.

Desert Iconic

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.
