Designed by architect Ron Radziner and featured on the cover of the LA Times, this cabin sits on five private acres of boulder-strewn terrain right on the edge of Joshua Tree National Park – so the hiking starts at your front door. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls mean the desert never feels far, even from inside. An outdoor soaking bathtub, a covered living room with a vintage gas fireplace, and an alfresco dining area among the boulders make the outdoors feel just as liveable as in. The National Park itself is a fourteen-minute drive.

Home truths
This is a studio apartment, so you'll be living and sleeping in one space.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair at no additional cost. You'll need to request them in advance.
Cell phone reception in this part of the high desert can be unreliable and varies by network provider. We recommend enabling wi-fi calling or downloading a VOIP app before you arrive.
A driveway-facing security camera monitors guest occupancy as required by local ordinance – it's trained on the driveway, not the interior or outdoor living spaces.
Many of the local roads are unpaved dirt tracks with ruts, particularly after rain. A four-wheel-drive vehicle isn't required, but taking it slowly is strongly advised.
The lead guest must be at least 21 years old.
