Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This home, located down a dirt road in the wilderness, is a truly great hangout spot. The spacious living and dining rooms are just waiting to be filled with laughter and chatter as you catch up with family and friends. Alternatively, you might find yourself in the yoga studio, stretching away life's stresses, or reclining on one of the comfy loungers with a great book. But we think the crowning glory of this home is the pair of outdoor hot springs tubs, complete with epic views across the rugged landscape. With four cosy and comfortable bedrooms, everyone has their own space, and the minimalist, desert-inspired decor will make you feel right at home. The gates of Joshua Tree National Park are just a fifteen-minute drive away, where you join one of the walking trails and get close to nature. And, after an invigorating hike, this oasis is the perfect spot to come back to – mix your favourite cocktail and spend an evening gazing up at the stars.
