Make yourself at home in the wilds of the Yucca Mesa with this stylish three-bedroom desert bungalow. Within a fifteen-minute drive of the Joshua Tree National Park, this is a great base for hikers or explorers looking to escape to the starry skies and silence of the desert. Indoors, the home's interiors offer a quirky, vintage-inspired take on desert chic that'll look great in the background of Instagram snaps, and there's a host of activities to keep you occupied on rest days. Of course, you could spend an afternoon happily lazing in the living space with a record playing, lounging in the shady porch area outside, or playing one of the many board games provided. And there's nothing quite like ending the day by the fire pit, watching as the first stars appear in the night sky.
