A five-minute drive from downtown Yucca, this renovated mid-century ranch is a secluded oasis found among the Joshua trees. It may have been built in the fifties, but the interior is modern and stylish, with the cast iron fireplace and stone surround hinting at its origins. If you’re anything like us, you’ll be spending most of your time taking in the incredible mountain views from the hot tub (a work of art itself, sunk into an octagonal wooden deck). Hike through the unique Yucca Valley landscape on your two and a half acres of land or take the ten-minute drive to Pioneertown – or just twenty minutes into Joshua Tree National Park. When night falls, sit out on the back patio and admire the star-filled sky before drifting off to sleep in one of your chic, boho-style bedrooms.

Named after the twisted, bristled Joshua Tree, a stay in this little Mojave desert community is synonymous with art exhibitions, beautiful night skies, hikes, delicious food, and plenty of hours lounging about in aesthetically pleasing surroundings.
