Located an eight-minute drive from the mystical, boulder-strewn landscape of Joshua Tree National Park, this low-slung home offers unbridled relaxation in the heart of the High Desert. Inside, it’s laidback and uncluttered without being too minimal or cold. Begin relaxed mornings in the living space – get comfortable on the sofa with a freshly brewed coffee as a record plays on the turntable. Head out into the garden for a game of bocce or soak up the sunshine from a lounger. When you’re ready to expend some energy, the Maze Loop Trail is a fifteen-minute drive away. But if you’d prefer to go steady, take the bicycles provided by your host for a ride through downtown Joshua Tree, just two minutes away. Check out the rustic saloons and cool cafes before digging in at a family-run eatery. At sundown, head back home to ease tired muscles in the hot tub, followed by a glass of wine and marshmallow toasting by the fire pit.
