It doesn’t get much more idyllic than this slice of desert heaven, set on the border of Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree. Just a 15-minute drive to the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, this charming three-bedroom home is the ideal base for hiking trips and for generally getting away from it all. After a day discovering the Hidden Valley Nature Trail and visiting awe-inspiring Skull Rock, check out some of the best local eateries (we love Kasa Taqueria and Crossroads Cafe), before simply taking in the night air and stargazing from your serene terrace. Inside, an abundance of modern art lends this home a vibrant, fun feel, while the gas fireplace and large television (complete with Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video access) in the living room provide an appealing alternative for cooler evenings.
