The garden here is the main event – a pool and spa at the centre, two shaded cabanas, a covered dining area with a built-in gas barbecue, a putting green, a bocce court, and a gas fire pit for when the desert temperature drops after dark. Inside, five bedrooms and a generous living room give large groups plenty of room to decompress between adventures. The location is just as strong: minutes from the West Entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, with Hidden Valley and Keys View close at hand, and the village's cafes and restaurants a short drive away.

Home truths
Due to this home's location, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. There's free parking for up to eight cars on the driveway.
Being out in the desert means the local wildlife comes with the territory – scorpions, snakes, and insects can make an appearance inside and around the home, so it's worth keeping doors and windows closed when you're not actively using them.
The remote desert setting means power outages can happen without warning, so it's worth keeping a torch handy and not relying entirely on electric appliances for time-sensitive plans.
The lead guest must be at least 21 years old.

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.
