It's just a five-minute drive to Joshua Tree Village and still, this sleek, modern homestead has all the trappings of a secluded desert retreat. Sleek white, grey, and chrome angles are accented with pops of colourful artwork inside, but it is its floor to ceiling windows that let the wonders of nature do all the talking. Letting in a bounty of bright desert light, the outdoors beckons you into the boundless realm of its nearby national park and along numerous hiking trails. The jaw-dropping landscape is literally reflected all around you, with a modern and thoughtful mirror installation in the grounds. Never miss a moment here, with colour and vibrancy coming at you from every angle. As the sun dips below the horizon, climb into the hot tub and admire the view, or cool off in the steel cowboy tub and catch some shooting stars if you're lucky. Make a wish and maybe you can stay a while longer.
