Perched on two-and-a-half acres of open desert, this house earns its keep the moment you step onto the elevated deck – hot tub to one side, cowboy pool to the other, mountain views stretching out ahead. A detached casita gives groups room to spread out without losing the sense of being together, and when the sun drops, the string-lit patio and dedicated stargazing deck take over. Joshua Tree National Park's West Entrance is a ten-minute drive, with downtown Joshua Tree even closer – so the desert is both your backyard and your playground.

Home truths
The main house and two-bedroom casita are entirely separate buildings, so groups using both will be stepping outside to move between them – handy for privacy, but worth factoring in if you're hoping to feel like one connected home.
You'll need a car to make the most of your stay. The national park entrance is a ten-minute drive, downtown Joshua Tree is five minutes away, and the nearest town of Yucca Valley is ten minutes in the other direction.
The fireplaces you'll see in the listing photos are non-operable, so if you're picturing a crackling fire on a cool desert evening, plan to use the outdoor fire pit instead.
If you're travelling with a baby, your host can provide a full-size cot and bedding. It's worth requesting this in advance to make sure everything is ready on arrival.

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.
