Off-grid living is personified in this home. Nestled in the middle of Wonder Valley in Southern California, this home truly embraces its place in the desert. If you're looking to escape the hustle of everyday life or seeking some time to connect with the natural world, then you'll be glad to know peace and tranquility is exactly what you'll get here. We love the outdoor lounge area, as well as the private granite geothermal hot springs tub. It’s a beautifully zen space for you to take in the surroundings and unwind to the sounds of nature. Make sure to stay out late on the porch at night and marvel at the incredible stargazing opportunities the clear desert skies offer. If you'd rather relax inside, then the cast iron clawfoot bathtub with mineral-rich waters is going to be your new best friend. If you do feel like leaving this haven to do some exploring, the town of Joshua Tree is only a thirty-minute drive away with a good selection of restaurants and shops. Twentynine Palms, while a bit smaller, is a fifteen-minute commute. For the adventurers, Joshua Tree National Park can also be reached in a fifteen-minute drive and offers ample hiking opportunities to see stunning boulder formations – an absolute must for breathtaking views.

Home truths

    The home is off the water grid, and all water comes from the hot springs, so you might experience a pressure drop from time to time

    All linens and decor are sustainably sourced and eco-friendly whenever possible, and all decor is vegan and cruelty-free. No animal products are used

    Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – although it's worth noting there is Uber in the area

    The host recommends bringing groceries as there are limited options in the vicinity

    The wifi is the best available in the area, but as it’s quite remote, it might be slower than you’d expect in cities
