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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Get off-grid at this boho chic home in the middle of the desert, built with eco friendly principles in mind and powered by the sun. The interior has been designed to let the natural breeze keep things cool, and thick stone walls give it a Spanish feel. Potted cacti are dotted around the living room, where a rustic wood-burning stove keeps the desert chill away at night. A stunning, white stone breakfast bar creates plenty of prep space in the kitchen, where you can rustle up meals after days exploring the desert. After dining from the beautiful earthenware crockery, head outside to do some stargazing from the sofas. There's also a hammock strung up on the shaded porch, where you can look out over endless sky and rugged landscapes from morning until night. You'll feel perfectly at peace here, but if you'd like to add a little excitement into the mix, then the live music bars and shops of historic Pioneertown are only a ten minute drive away. 

Under The Rocks

Games Room

Ideal for families and groups of friends seeking tranquillity, this is a truly unique home which will enchant you from the moment you arrive. 

Step inside to be greeted by a huge open space, with tall ceilings, stylish furnishings and plenty of unique features. Open the glass sliding doors and let yourself be transported to an outdoor sanctuary, where the spectacular views are complemented by the infinity pool, a hot tub, and a generous space for relaxation and those magical alfresco meals under the stars. 

Indoors you’ll also be able to enjoy communal evenings of entertainment by the fireplace, with a grand dining area inviting you to share delicious meals with your loved ones. With multiple patios and a game room, there’s ample space to get together with friends, as well as find a cosy nook for some alone time. You can also do some yoga on the mats provided  –  what could be more tranquil than a yoga session with a desert view and the Milky Way above? 

Nighttime brings the promise of restful sleep which will find you in one of the plush bedrooms, each featuring a luxurious king-sized bed and elegant furnishings. 

When you’re in the mood for exploring you’ll find picturesque hiking trails right on your doorstep, while the entrance to the Joshua Tree National Park is a fifteen-minute drive away.

Fenced Garden

Hammock

Soak up the Joshua Tree views at this desert retreat. Come nightfall, the fire pit is the perfect spot to gather for a little stargazing. There's also a heated swimming pool, a hot tub, and cosy hammocks to take advantage of. Inside, the design is bright and tranquil. You'll find everything you need for a peaceful night's sleep, including a sound bath machine and a serenity tea blend made by your host. Another thing's for sure – you'll never be bored here. Hiking trails and golf courses are within walking distance, Pioneertown and Joshua Tree National Park are a twenty-minute drive away, and your host can arrange a bevvy of activities for an extra special stay.

Made of Stardust

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

Are you looking for a private, spa-like retreat in the desert? With a refreshing swimming pool, a yoga room, a heated outdoor jacuzzi and serene views, this remote beauty is sure to keep you both entertained and relaxed. The wrap-around terrace offers gorgeous views of Yucca Valley, and at night, you can admire the starry sky by the propane-filled fire pit. Inside, the modern design is a minimalist treat with colourful wooden details that give the home its relaxed character and let you settle into the slower daily rhythm of desert life. If you tire of poolside lounging, there are plenty of jaw-dropping hiking trails in the nearby Joshua Tree National Park – just a ten-minute drive away – and even a private trail all to yourself on the property that will lead you to a bench with 360-degree views. In the evening, watch the inimitable sunset before retiring to the luxurious bedrooms for a good night's rest. We promise you will wake up recharged and ready for another day of exploration and relaxation.

Fancy yourself a green warrior, then you'll love this completely off-grid desert homestead; it's powered by solar. Switch off from modern-day living when you stay at this home. Originally built in 1954, it has been remodelled with a rustic design that pays homage to the Old West. Large windows allow natural light to fill the open-plan kitchen and living area. Wood finishings add a characterful feel with vintage furnishings and colourful art thoughtfully scattered throughout. The exterior is just as pleasing – stylish rusted walls enclose a private garden, where you'll find an outdoor bathtub and cowboy steel pool. Keep cool in the water or laze in a hammock under the shade of the tree. With the location being just a short drive from Joshua Tree & Palm Springs, this retreat doesn't just offer panoramic views of the desert, it gives you the chance to explore this otherworldly landscape for yourself.

Hey Cowboy

Natural environments don’t come much more impressive than Joshua Tree National Park. And this unique, mid-century, artistic home is nestled among the incredible desert scenery of Yucca Valley. If you’re an artist yourself, this is perfect for inspiring isolation. Or if you simply enjoy wonderfully eccentric, one-off houses, you'll feel very at home. Behind concrete bricked walls, we love the surprise of retro decor such as a vintage pink bathtub, psychedelic patterned armchairs, and colourful woven rugs. The rustic ranch-style fittings make the bedrooms feel at one with the American west. Step out onto the star-lit back patio of the garden to cook on the barbecue or firepit – whoever wins at table tennis is in charge of dinner that evening. You could spend all night gazing up at countless stars, with a margarita in hand and the hot tub bubbling away. After everyone wanders back inside, keep the night going with the built-in bar, games, and a record player. Leaf through the host's vinyl collection and hit play for an authentic experience of 1960s California. Wake up and head to a nearby trendy coffee shop for breakfast, then continue the artsy vibe with a day at the outrageously quirky Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum. Painter or poet, hiker or yoga practitioner, there’s something to help you reset and express yourself at this desert abode.

Resort Access

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.

Cactus Sunshine

Set in acres and acres of untamed desert landscape, it doesn’t get much more serene than this palatial Joshua Tree villa. The surreal landscape of boulders and cacti is illuminated with custom lighting at night so you can admire it during a moonlight soak in the hot tub, or an evening dip in the sunken cowboy tub as the desert sky is speckled with stars. Get a fire crackling in the fire pit to keep the desert chill at bay, and spend days sprawled out in the sun on the wooden deck overlooking the miles and miles of rugged terrain. Our favourite part of this home has to be the round chill-out room where a curved sofa sits in the sunshine of a towering glass atrium and a wet bar awaits for drinks by the fire. Picture frame windows in the dine-in kitchen keep that desert view coming and bedrooms are decked out in boho-chic with macrame wall art and raw wood furnishings. Find inner peace in the yoga room where a curved wall of windows lets the desert light stream in. When it comes to exploring the great outdoors, Joshua Tree National Park entrance is a twenty-minute drive away, and downtown Joshua Tree and Pioneertown are both twelve minutes away.

Named the coolest stay in California by Condé Nast, there’s an otherworldly quality to this secluded desert home. Set on ten acres of wilderness in the Mojave Desert, the enchantment begins the moment you turn on to the five kilometre private dirt road. Maybe it’s the mystical theatre of boulders that surround the all-white structure, or perhaps it’s the clear blue of the vast sky overhead, but either way, it’s the kind of place you can never forget. We’d describe it as high design in the wild desert. There are floor-to-ceiling sliders in every room (apart from the bathrooms) framing magical views, and furniture by iconic designers like Christian Liagre as well as one-of-a-kind artworks and Moroccan rugs. While you’re just a short drive from the bars and shops of Pioneertown, we’ll wager that once this sanctuary has cast its spell, you’ll never want to leave. Wake up early for an incredible sunrise, walk through the boulders seeking serenity, take a dip in the outdoor tin bath, and stay up late counting stars in the hot tub or round the fire pit. During Milky Way season (March to September), the sky is filled with fire and light and it can almost feel like the cosmos has dropped in for a conversation – and in a place like this, who’s to say it hasn’t?

Desert Soul

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

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. 

Ventana Cove

Wheelchair Access

Sometimes pressures of modern living can get overwhelming – there’s nothing like a luxurious desert retreat to feel restored and serene once again. This gem nestled rather majestically on top of a hilltop, overlooking glorious vistas of the Joshua Tree mountains and valley is the perfect place for just such an occasion. Up here you’ll feel awed by the awesome beauty of nature, with starry nights, peace and quiet – and you’ll have all the comforts of a truly exceptional home to make your stay a restful and unforgettable one. 

Arrive to be welcomed by the strikingly designed exterior which hints at all the wonders to be found indoors. Enter to find a large open-plan space with spectacular views to be admired from every corner of the house. This is achieved by the huge windows and sliding glass doors which allow you to manipulate the space in accordance with your mood – whether you fancy an outdoor feast under the stars or a gathering with your friends and family at the indoor dining table. 

The outdoor space offers a gorgeous sanctuary, with a luxurious hot tub, plenty of comfy furnishings for those evening get-togethers, a fire pit, and, of course, those views to be marvelled at. Fire up the grill and savour a delicious alfresco supper, as the moon begins to come up over the mountains. 

Back inside you can keep the entire party entertained with cosy movie nights in the snuggly lounge area or enjoy a round of pool in the game room – there’s even a bar area for mixing delicious cocktails. For a night of blissful sleep head to the plush bedrooms, each offering a soft king-size bed. Wake up refreshed and enjoy your breakfast while gazing at the ever-changing landscape and spectacular light.

Moonlight in the Desert 

Looking for somewhere secluded to unplug and unwind? Look no further than this sleek two-bedroom oasis, set on its own 2.5-acre plot and just a 25-minute drive from the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. You’re also only a 15-minute ride from all the shops and restaurants of Pioneertown, while there are walking trails within walking distance. After a day discovering the Hidden Valley Nature Trail, visiting mesmerising Skull Rock or exploring Pioneertown Wildlands Reserve Park (five minutes away from the house by car), head home to stargaze from your private terrace, cook up a feast in the state-of-the-art kitchen, or soothe aching muscles with a soak in the tub. High ceilings, huge bay windows and an open floor plan ensure this desert escape is flooded with invigorating sunlight, with the surrounding landscape providing awe-inspiring views on every side.

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.

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.

Cali Notebook

If you’re in search of an inspiring desert retreat, look no further than this home. Set within 2.5 acres of private land of the High Desert, this is a dream destination for nature lovers, artists and creatives. You can enjoy beautiful views while relaxing in the outdoor tub. There’s also a fire pit for magical evenings under the stars and you’ll find plenty to explore in this incredible location. From here it’s a short drive to Pioneertown, Pappy & Harriet’s as well as Joshua Tree.

Desert Wonder

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.

Streamliner

This mid-century architectural project turned desert hideaway has us longing to create. Set high above the desert floor, with breathtaking vistas, reaching as far as the San Joaquin Mountains, it’s the sort of place where writers and artists retreat to find their flow. 

The original design prototype had a pioneering metal canopy system, with canvas curtains which used to completely close around the house – which explains the oversized roof. It’s still a totally unique space today, with huge windows flooding the rooms with warm light. The interior has been carefully curated to spark inspiration, with a bohemian mix of canvases, ceramics and macramé artworks. But with all the arty vibes, there is still plenty of space to snuggle up and enjoy relaxing, comfy evenings and movie nights. Should the chill of the desert night catch you by surprise, there is a fireplace for extra cosiness. 

Staying here, you’ll be able to indulge in blissful seclusion, with just one other, similarly stylish house, in the neighbourhood. With the awe-inspiring landscapes spreading out in every direction, and with the Joshua Tree National Park just twenty minutes away, this is an ideal location for a truly inspirational Western experience. In the evening, why not step outside and gaze up into the starry sky – or better still, do so while soaking in the hot tub, with a glass of something cold and delicious. 


Chase The Muse

If you want a getaway in the wilderness without being completely away from civilisation, this home is a match. Less than a ten-minute drive from Pioneertown, it's found in Pipes Canyon and is surrounded by three-and-a-half acres of private land with wild jackrabbits, quail and roadrunner. 

Just next door is the Pioneertown Mountains Preserve and Joshua Tree National Park takes less than half an hour by car, so it's fair to say you're covered for hiking options. After a rewarding day of exploring, you'll be happy to return to this peaceful home. As stylish and unique as the 'desert chic' aesthetic requires, it's a beautiful, uncluttered home. 

As the sun sets, light the barbecue and serve up some big flavours on the covered terrace, or just sit back and listen to the crackling fire pit. When the night rolls in and the stars come out, you'll really feel like you're a million miles away from anybody else.

Mid-century modern meets boho chic at this cabin in the heart of the Yucca Valley. From the tile backsplash and terrazzo worktops in the kitchen to the concrete flooring and exposed brick around the Franklin stove, we love how the design honours the home’s retro roots in a modern way. We like all the personal touches, too — such as the vinyl record player and Public Goods toiletries. Our favourite bit, though, has to be the backyard. It's essentially a second living space, with a large sectional sofa, six-seater dining table, and cosy fire pit to enjoy. We can just imagine whiling away the evenings out there, watching the unforgettable desert sunset, chatting around the fire, or dining under the stars. Joshua Tree National Park is just a 15-minute drive away and is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts wanting to hike, cycle, or even horseback ride. Culture vultures will love the area's selection of art galleries and vineyards, too. No matter how you spend your day, we know you'll love coming home and unwinding at this unique desert hideaway.

Rewild your life amidst the extraordinary desert wilderness of Yucca Valley with a stay at this mid-century modern retreat.

This is a home that beats to the rhythm of its magnificent canyon setting. Spend lazy, hazy days hopping between the hot tub and cowboy-style tub for post-hike soaks before losing yourself to a good book in the swinging hammocks. You can always break up the day with yard parlour games or beat the heat with a round of billiards or table tennis in the indoor games room. At sunset, turn up the heat with barbecues before an evening of stargazing beside the firepit – if you're lucky, you might even spot the Milky Way.

Inside, the home effortlessly fuses cool boho interiors alongside all those creature comforts. Expect open-plan living that's bright and breezy by day and cosy by night for movie evenings or board game marathons curled up in the living area. The quiet office area tucked away in one of the bedrooms will be handy for those planning to work or study during their stay. And you can keep on top of your fitness easily with the dedicated gym area.

In such a tranquil setting, you might think you're miles away from civilisation here, but you're just a fifteen-minute drive from Joshua Tree National Park for guided hikes and rock-climbing lessons. And even closer, Yucca Valley Town, for antique browsing and lunches in its one-of-a-kind restaurants.

Go Wilder

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.

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.
