Formerly a cabin built in the 1950s, this home has recently been transformed into a modern, desert sanctuary, but your hosts have gone above and beyond to retain its original mid-century characteristics. From its clean and sleek lines to the minimalist and uncluttered interiors, it is a pleasure to stay here. Positioned on a five-acre lot, guests can enjoy total privacy in this vast desert landscape. Boasting views of Goat Mountain to the north, this is an incredible position from which to enjoy breathtaking sunsets, sunrises, and starry nights. In fact, why not wind down with your favourite tipple in the outdoor hot tub or gather around the fire pit to experience the views. Come morning, step outside for a stretch at sunrise, before enjoying a hearty breakfast around the contemporary, chef's kitchen. Map out the day's route, and take the half-hour drive to Joshua Tree National Park for an incredible hike, adventure and unforgettable memories. Welcoming four guests, it's the perfect escape for a few friends or a family in need of some desert downtime.
