Get a taste of desert life with a stay in your very own re-imagined homestead cabin. This characterful studio retains the original cabin's personality and history, combining rustic features such as wood-panelled ceilings with all the mod-cons. With the west entrance to Joshua Tree National Park just a ten-minute drive away, you’re in prime position to experience some once-in-a-lifetime hiking, safe in the knowledge that you can retreat to your home away from home for a night of relaxation. After hitting the outdoor shower, soothe aching muscles with a dip in the hot tub, or ask your host to arrange a private in-home massage. Clear your mind and connect with your soul with a peaceful outdoor meditation or yoga session (also arranged by your host), then head to the star gazing pad – the ideal spot to sit with a beer or glass of champagne. You don't have to say goodbye to the views when the temperature drops, as you can continue enjoying the stellar desert scenes from every angle indoors, too.
