Set north of Joshua Tree near the quiet community of Landers, this desert cabin is a truly magical escape. Built on the bones of a 1964 homestead cabin, the contemporary home is calm and welcoming, with stunning views from all corners. We love the open-plan living area, where you can read books on the cosy sofas, create meals in the modern kitchen or simply sit and soak up the desert wilderness. The exteriors are equally spectacular, with a private pool and a fire pit for roasting s'mores or evening drinks. But it's the landscape itself that really steals the show. That and the spellbinding night skies.

About Pioneertown
Drive a couple of hours east of Los Angeles, and you’re in a different world. Nowhere is that more apparent than Joshua Tree with its many artist residences, rugged rock formations, and stark desert landscapes. Named after the twisted, bristled Joshua Tree, a stay in this little Mojave desert community is synonymous with art exhibitions, beautiful night skies, hikes, delicious food, and plenty of hours lounging about in aesthetically pleasing surroundings.
