Nestled five minutes from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, yet only five minutes from town, this home serves up the best of both worlds. Ideal for a family on a Californian adventure, there’s plenty of space to spread out here and you’ll find everything needed for a relaxing stay. But the cherry on the cake for us? It has to be the outdoor space. Hammocks to relax in, alfresco dining areas, a cowboy tub and a hot tub, all with desert and mountain views – what’s not to love?

Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
The fireplace in this home is for decorative purposes only.
The hot tub is serviced Tuesdays and Fridays between 11am - 3pm. This usually only takes around ten minutes.
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There is a J1772 (j-plug) level 2 charger for electric vehicles here – if you have a Tesla, you'll need to bring a j-plug adapter.
There are security cameras here, but they only view the driveway and perimeter of the home.

About Joshua Tree
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.
