Tucked away in a quiet corner of Joshua Tree, just minutes away from the entrance of its eponymous National Park, this laid-back desert escape has everything you need to relax, recharge, and reconnect. The fully-fenced backyard is a sun-drenched haven, with comfortable outdoor furniture, a firepit and a hot tub – all perfect for unwinding after a day of hiking. Inside, you’ll find two king bedrooms and a dreamy zen room with starry lighting and a trundle bed. With plenty of cozy nooks, desert greenery, and mountain views, this is the kind of place that invites you to slow your pace and soak up the magic of the desert.
