A group of friends seeking a little bit of magic will fall in love with this whimsical home, set in five acres of desert land. It's a truly unique setup, compromised of the main cabin, a yurt, three trailers and a safari tent – this is guaranteed to be a glamping experience you'll never forget. Ease yourself into the rugged landscape with lunch under the linen canopy, before taking an alfresco bath as you wash away your stresses in perfect peace. On piercing-cold desert nights, cosy up around the crackling fire pit to toast marshmallows and tell stories, or hunker down under the boho-chic blankets in your trailer. The sunrises and sunsets here are spectacular but don't miss the opportunity to do some stargazing away from the bright city lights too. Joshua Tree National Park and Yucca Valley are less than a twenty-minute drive away for those looking for adventure, but we don't blame you if you never want to leave this desert sanctuary.
