Eight private acres of High Desert terrain set this house apart from the moment you arrive – Joshua Trees stretching to the horizon, hiking trails threading through the landscape, and a silence that's hard to find elsewhere in California. The heated saltwater pool and integrated spa sit at the heart of it all, designed for long afternoons under an open sky. Come evening, the fire pit draws everyone together for stargazing, while the cedar barrel sauna offers a quieter place to wind down. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows keep the desert present even from the retro-inspired living room and the sun-filled kitchen.

Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair on request.
This home sits down dirt roads in a remote part of Yucca Mesa, so a car is essential – for groceries, dining out, and reaching the national park. The nearest shops and cafes in Yucca Valley are a ten-minute drive away.
There's free parking for up to five cars on the driveway.
A separate adjacent casita with its own hot tub and outdoor fireplace can be booked alongside this home if you're travelling as a larger group. Reach out to your host to arrange a combined booking.
