Three private acres of High Desert landscape, floor-to-ceiling windows framing mountain vistas, and a hot tub ringed by Joshua trees – this house in Yucca Valley is built around the landscape rather than merely placed in it. As the sun drops, the fire pit pulls you outside under skies wide enough to make stargazing feel inevitable. Inside, vintage leather furniture and natural wood give the space warmth without competing with the views. For larger groups, it can be combined with a sister home nearby, adding a pool and sauna to the mix.

Home truths
At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
The only bathroom here is an en-suite off the main bedroom – at full occupancy, privacy may be limited.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can arrange a cot and high chair.
Cell service in the High Desert varies by provider, so don't count on reliable mobile signal – Starlink wi-fi in the home should keep you connected when you need it.
This home sits adjacent to a larger villa with a pool and sauna – both can be booked together if you're travelling as a bigger group. Speak to your host for more details.
You'll need a car to get around here – the area has dirt roads, and shops, cafes, and attractions all require a drive. The roads can develop ruts after rain, so take it steady if you're arriving after a storm. There's parking for up to four vehicles in the private driveway.
