Desert living at its best – this house in Yucca Valley puts you squarely in Joshua tree country. Evenings revolve around the fire pit, set among the Joshua trees, or the hot tub where the stars are hard to ignore. The living and kitchen area has a warm, earthy California feel that makes it easy to settle in, and outside there's a barbecue, yard space for games like cornhole, and room for pets to roam. Joshua Tree National Park and Palm Springs are all within driving distance.

Home truths
We recommend hiring a car for ease of getting around. There's free parking for up to four cars on the driveway.
Due to the remote location of this home, guests may experience unannounced power outages.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.
Desert wildlife can make their way indoors, so it's worth keeping doors and windows closed when you're not actively using them.
Air conditioning here runs on mini-split units in individual rooms rather than a central system, so cooling is room by room rather than whole-home.
Road construction work is ongoing in the area around the home. Be prepared to experience some noise disturbance during your stay.

Local guide
About Yucca Valley
Drive a couple of hours east of Los Angeles, and you’re in a different world. Nowhere is that more apparent than Joshua Tree with its many artist residences, rugged rock formations, and stark desert landscapes. 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.
