If there’s one spot on earth you’ve got to experience at least once, it’s here, folks. Set within five acres of extraordinary boulder-strewn landscapes on the edge of the National Park (so close it’s officially the closest rentable cabin to the park), this place is out-of-this-world. Meticulously renovated throughout with a pared-back palette to blend with the rich natural surroundings, it’s all soft whites, warm wooden hues, and lofty gabled ceilings – just like you imagined your Californian desert retreat to be. And if you’re impressed with the living spaces, wait until you see the bedrooms with jaw-dropping views of the National Park through the magnificent floor-to-ceiling picture windows. Outside, take your pick from the nooks to soak up the vistas. Hop between the four-seater hot tub and cowboy-style tub for a post-hike soak. Sneak away to find a shady spot for a yoga session (the home has mats for guests to use). Beat the heat with a rejuvenating outdoor shower.

When you’re ready for some outdoor adventure, you’re just a two-minute drive from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, offering easy access to...Read more trails and natural wonders that feel entirely your own.
