Ancient boulders press right up against the glass walls of this steel-and-glass house in Yucca Valley, blurring the line between inside and out in a way that's genuinely hard to describe until you're sitting on the wraparound deck watching the desert sky shift at dusk. Published in Dwell, Sunset, and Forbes, the architecture earns its reputation – polished concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling glass, and a hot tub tucked into a private boulder cove with open desert views. Joshua Tree National Park is twenty minutes away, and Pioneertown's Pappy & Harriets is a fifteen-minute drive for live music and cold drinks.

Home truths
This home is set in genuine high desert – wildlife is part of the environment here. Keep doors and screens closed during your stay to avoid unwanted visitors making their way inside.
You'll need a car to make the most of this location. The nearest town, Yucca Valley, is a ten-minute drive, with Joshua Tree and Pioneertown around fifteen minutes away – there's no walkable option for groceries or dining.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can arrange a high chair.

Local guide
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.
