Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, so the desert landscape becomes as much a part of the living space as anything within it. Come dusk, the terrace and the elevated cowboy soaking pool – positioned squarely for valley views – make it hard to go back in at all. On quieter evenings, a projector and a vinyl turntable with a curated record collection give you plenty of reasons to stay put. Joshua Tree National Park is a five-minute drive, and the village's restaurants and shops are closer still.

Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can arrange a cot and high chair. You'll need to request these in advance.
Mobile signal varies depending on your network provider here, so don't rely on your phone as your only means of navigation or communication.
The cowboy pool is seasonal, so it may not be available depending on when you visit – worth checking with your host before you arrive if that's a priority.
You can enjoy complimentary access to a nearby swimming pool complex during your stay – this is available from May to September and is located 4.7 miles away.
You'll need a car to get around – there's no public transport in this part of the high desert, and everything from groceries to the national park requires a drive. You can park up to two vehicles here.
The access roads to this home are unpaved dirt tracks that can develop ruts after rain. A standard car is fine – four-wheel drive isn't required – but take it steady if the weather has been wet.
