Stargazing around the firepit. Cooling off in the rock-carved plunge pool. Hiking through the dramatic scenery of this private estate. Here’s where all your desert dreams come true. Every corner of this home has been designed to showcase its spectacular surroundings – see the floor-to-ceiling windows and the expansive terraces. And no luxurious detail has been overlooked, from the spa-style bathrooms to the plush kitchen that’s made for entertaining. You have everything you could possibly want from a desert retreat here. Plus Pioneertown is just down the road (where you'll find Pappy & Harriet's famous barbecue restaurant), and Joshua Tree National Park is a thirty-minute drive away.

• Two well-behaved dogs are welcome to join you for an additional $100 each per stay, with prior approval from your host. You'll need to bring your own sheets to protect the furniture and keep dogs on a lead outside as coyotes are common here.
