A little bit mid-century, a little bit boho and a whole lot of modern, this home in the Yucca Valley is truly a knockout. It oozes high-desert living – think outdoor bathtubs, a stock tank pool, a vintage airstream in the backyard and a cinema projector screen. There's no better place to escape the grind of daily life than here, surrounded by five acres of Joshua Tree desert, with jagged mountains in the distance. Just grab a drink, pop a log on the fire pit and take a front-row seat for unforgettable sunsets. Even inside, you won't miss the view, thanks to bright windows and patio doors that flood each room with natural light. When you want a bit of adventure, hop in the car and head to Joshua Tree National Park or Pioneertown, both just twenty minutes away. Back at your hidden oasis, whip up dinner in one of the two contemporary kitchens – fully equipped with everything you need – and dine under the endless night sky. It doesn’t get much better.


Wild Skies

Safe

Set in two acres of private desert landscape, this bijou cabin is a place to unwind and let the rush of modern life slip away. In the rugged landscape surrounding this home, you’ve got a hot tub and macrame hammocks sitting beneath the big desert sky. Out favourite spot to watch the sunset is the ‘moon bench’ and once the sky has speckled with stars its time to get a fire crackling in the white-plaster fire pit and look for shooting stars.

Inside, you can feel that the hosts have poured their heart and soul into the decor, where crisp walls are adorned with object d’art in every desert hue. Furniture is vintage and hand-picked, and there’s a record player to curate the perfect soundtrack to your desert escape. The kitchen has all the essentials, and the selection of ceramic crockery feels as though each mug and plate has been considered.

If you want to get out and explore, Joshua Tree town is a twenty-minute drive and the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is just beyond for endless desert and mountain hiking trails.

Built in the 1960s, in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, this home is endlessly cool and boasts some outstanding features. As well as games like croquet and corn hole, there are two outdoor tubs, and even an outdoor movie screen. You'll spot healing crystals set into the walls at carefully considered intervals. There’s everything from aventurine for emotional calm to smoky quartz for grounding and cleansing. And the location is hard to beat. You'll be right in the heart of the breathtaking landscape but it's still easy to experience the nearby restaurants, bars and boutique shops. La Copine is just round the corner, while the famous Pappy & Harriet’s is about fifteen minutes away. You can reach Joshua Tree National Park in about twenty-five minutes by car.

An architect's eye has been turned to this Yucca Valley getaway, which pops out of the desert in clean lines, stamped textiles, and potted plants. The home, which belongs to a local activist and artist, is an oasis of cool; white walls, hanging lights, and reclaimed wooden furniture are the name of the game here, while a monochrome, metro-tiled bathroom is perfect for soaking or scrolling up your Instagram feed. The real draw here, however, is the incredible location. When we say you're out in nature, we really mean it. Reached by a sandy dirt track, it feels as wild as the desert landscape that surrounds it. Relax in the cowboy-style tub during the day or explore the two acres of Joshua Tree forest or Joshua Tree National Park (a twenty-five-minute drive away), before setting up camp for the night. With little light pollution, the starry sky is clearer out here than ever – whether you're gathered around the fire pit, sat under the fairy light-strewn canopy or ogling constellations through the telescope, it's a sanctuary of peace, solitude and natural beauty. 

Palo Verde's Bloom

A spot of quirky, camp cowboy fun in the desert, this 1940s cabin was redesigned in 2020 by TV-stylist and interior design guru Doug Wiand. The frontier-style home has mixed kitsch wild west with luxury modernity: think chequered curtains, planked ceilings and pine stable doors contrasting against a jade green tiled kitchen and reclaimed artwork. When you're not sheltering from the heat on one of the velvet sofas or soaking in the free-standing bath, the backyard offers a taste of the desert life. During the day, shelter from the Californian sunshine on the patio or nab the shaded hammock - though Joshua Tree National Park is only a 25-minute drive from here, if adventure comes calling. As the sun starts to set over the rugged plains, the outdoor hot tub is on hand to unwind, while one of your party lights up the BBQ. As the stars come out, huddle around the firepit to keep warm, with the lack of light pollution perfect for meteor spotting - or was it another potential sighting of a UFO that this area is famous for?

Rain Shower

Sauna

Set on 2.5 acres of stunning desert wilds, this home off the beaten path is the perfect place to unwind and relax. It offers everything you'd expect from a desert oasis, from the stunning star views to the extensive spa-like relaxation options.

Start your day with a refreshing visit to the steam sauna, before taking off to the wilds for a hike. Around midday, cool off in the plunge pool and play some psychedelic tunes on the vinyl player. Treat yourself to lunch underneath the cosy covered cabana – we particularly love the outdoor lighting.

At night, gather around the gas fire pit while you rustle up some treats on the charcoal grill. Finish off your day by settling into the hot tub and stargazing – this area is incredible for cosmic views. When you’re settled in for the evening, you can languish by the indoor fireplace and immerse yourself in a good book.

Despite the remote location, the town of Yucca Valley is only a twenty-minute drive away and is excellent for supplies, dining, and bars. Meanwhile, the otherworldly landscapes of Joshua Tree National Park are a twenty-five-minute drive away, and you can amp up your relaxation even more with sound baths at the iconic Integratron, just ten minutes away by car.






Eight Miles High

Welcome Hamper

Nice to haves

This fun desert home conjures up a mix of vintage hippy culture and the modern Boho chic style. Renovated and enlarged from a late-1950s villa, this place has a history. It was built when Landers and its Mojave Desert setting first became a place of pilgrimage for the original hippies. Inside, there's a welcoming, open-plan feel with an eclectic collection of decorative odds and ends. This is desert living, so outside there's the firepit table with distant mountain views, a barbecue grill and a traditional cowboy tub for getting clean in the open air. For a town of just 2,000 people, there’s plenty of things to do nearby. Try sonic healing sessions at the circular Integratron or marvel at the Giant Rock – a seven-storey-high boulder. Drink local brews from the Landers Brewing Company, explore Joshua Tree National Park and do some next-level stargazing.

Combining the architectural works of Ben Uyeda with a modern, minimalist design right in the heart of the desert is always going to be a winner with us. This desert retreat is made up of a cluster of containers, offering couples or friends complete peace and privacy. 

Glass-panel doors blur the line between inside and outside, with this home’s nearly nine acres of land providing a constant awe-inspiring backdrop. Decorated in calming, earthy tones, with locally inspired artisan pieces providing decorative flair and a sense of place, your oasis of modern design sits atop its own mini hilltop. From one of the numerous seating areas – choose from elegant wooden loungers or take a seat around the glowing firepit. If you need to keep one eye on work during your stay, the third container offers a dedicated workspace, as well as a 65” Smart TV for a spot of relaxation after an explorative day out. 

Getting your hiking fix here is easy, with the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park just a half–hour drive away. Return home for a soothing soak in the hot tub, which is ready to take your night to the next level – get in party mode with multicoloured lights and a waterfall. If you like your evenings a bit more competitive, prepare for a ping pong tournament – just don’t get distracted by the striking desert surrounds. Come dinner time, grill up a storm on the barbecue, before sipping drinks around the fire pit or simply taking in the splendour of the night sky.

Desert Alchemy

Get off-grid at this boho chic home in the middle of the desert, built with eco friendly principles in mind and powered by the sun. The interior has been designed to let the natural breeze keep things cool, and thick stone walls give it a Spanish feel. Potted cacti are dotted around the living room, where a rustic wood-burning stove keeps the desert chill away at night. A stunning, white stone breakfast bar creates plenty of prep space in the kitchen, where you can rustle up meals after days exploring the desert. After dining from the beautiful earthenware crockery, head outside to do some stargazing from the sofas. There's also a hammock strung up on the shaded porch, where you can look out over endless sky and rugged landscapes from morning until night. You'll feel perfectly at peace here, but if you'd like to add a little excitement into the mix, then the live music bars and shops of historic Pioneertown are only a ten minute drive away.

Can words do justice to this incredible location? Surrounded by desert, you'll feel like you're in your own Western here. With an abundance of outdoor spaces, you've got plenty of vantage points to enjoy the view – especially from the hot tub. The single-bedroom annexe is a nice touch, ideally suited for couples looking for privacy. Despite appearances, you're not far from civilization here – a twenty-minute walk will bring you to a coffee shop, and you'll find a supermarket just a five-minute drive away. And with a free pass into Joshua Tree National Park (a fifteen-minute drive), you can explore to your heart's content.

Nestled among large boulders and desert sands, this home is a true Joshua Tree getaway with a private saltwater pool/spa and outdoor shower. With no neighbours around, it's an escape from civilisation that's at one with nature and design. The floor-to-ceiling moving glass walls blur the lines between the indoors/outdoors, allowing you to take advantage of the surroundings at all times. Inside, works by local artists and famous designers merge, while the kitchen sets the scene for great meals. We could go on and on about this home – but you should really check it out for yourself!

Desert Skies

This small but perfectly formed cabin can be found in the heart of Yucca Valley on 2.5 acres of wilderness. The perfect base for a small family or two couples, it’s been thoughtfully decorated with a mid-century design meets boho vibe. We love the funky geometric tiles in the kitchen and the colourful rugs scattered throughout the home. Drive down the unmade dirt track to Pioneertown for a taste of the Wild West or head to Joshua Tree National Park for wild landscapes and stellar hiking opportunities. We can see ourselves relaxing on the canopied sun lounger with a glass of something cold in hand as the sun goes down. The stargazing in the hi-desert is something to write home about so after supper, just lie back and enjoy.

Surrounded by ten acres of stunning desert landscape in the Yucca Valley, this remarkable net-zero energy home really is the epitome of a secluded getaway. It’s been profiled in Dwell Magazine as well as on countless high-end websites, and you can immediately see why. With glass sliding doors in each room inviting you to step out into the wild beauty outside, there’s a seamless flow between indoors and outdoors making this home feel completely at one with the Mojave Desert. We love the balcony equipped with a sun chair – accessed via the master bedroom and living room – and the outdoor shower that will get any morning off to a refreshing start. Spend the day hiking around your sun-drenched house, taking in the majesty of the ancient junipers, weathered boulders, desert oaks and piñon pines, or hop in your car to visit Joshua Tree National Park, just a twenty-minute drive away. After a day of adventuring, come back home for drinks around the fire pit before firing up the barbecue for an alfresco feast. Then end the night with a soak in the hot tub while you watch the night sky turn into a blanket of shimmering stars. 

The Graham Residence

A hilltop cabin in a unique area of the desert, this place is nestled on its own between Pioneertown and Yucca Valley on what feels like the scenic drive through Joshua Tree National Park. The trees, rocks, and landscape just outside the doors are just as breathtaking as anything you would see in the park, except you have them all to yourself. 

There’s a wood-burning stove to keep you warm on those chill nights, while one of your musically talented friends can play a tune on the grand piano (though there’s also a Bluetooth sound system, for convenience). On the walls, you’ll find original art by the late Gerald Zeldin, and an interior so impressive it was featured in the NY Times fashion section. You can feel the history of this old mining cabin in the wood-beamed ceiling and clapboard (yet modern)  bathroom. Picture-frame windows let the sunlight stream into this boho-chic interior and let you gaze out over the endless desert before you.

This place is totally off-grid and once you’ve experienced the unique feeling of heating the outdoor hot tub with firewood as you gaze at the stars, there’s no going back.

Ranch Of The Rising Sun

Outdoor Kitchen

Escapes to this Yucca Valley home are guaranteed to be unforgettable. With endless views of the Mojave Desert, guests can spend hours watching pink sunsets from the hot tub, dining alfresco against the serrated silhouette, picking out constellations from a sky full of stars and toasting marshmallows over the fire pit. Inside, designer furniture and poured concrete floors feel extra stylish, and the bedrooms with luxury mattresses, percale cotton bedding and original artwork demand long lie-ins. Put an album on the record player as made-from-scratch meals cook away in the up-to-the-minute kitchen, and when dinner’s demolished, clear the plates ready for an evening of board games. After practising yoga on the patio with the sunrise, mornings are to be spent exploring; pull on your hiking boots and make your way to the Joshua Tree National Park, a twenty-minute drive from the property. Stop off in Yucca Valley’s Old Town on your way back for a bite to eat and a well-earned, ice-cold drink.

Desert Willow

There are cacti, desert and mountain views aplenty in this fabulous home in the heart of the Yucca Valley. Just over six kilometres from the Joshua Tree Visitor Centres and nearby cafes, and even closer to the nearest desert museum, you get the full Joshua Tree experience without being completely cut off from civilisation. The house is set on a five-acre plot and decorated in the laid-back and comfortable style you'd expect. While the home is equipped with all the usual mod cons, it's retained plenty of quaint charm with wood-panelled walls, a record player and retro games console sitting alongside a lightning-fast internet connection and various streaming options. There's also a separate casita ideal for couples. We loved the wicker mirrors, wall hangings, hammock-style hanging seats and the peaceful, minimalist bedroom interiors. Outside you'll find a wood-fired hot tub ideal for chilly evenings and a pink stucco in-ground pool for afternoons. When you're not neck-deep in water, the wooden seating area and firepit is a perfect place to admire the pink and red sunset skies.

Cactus Sunshine

Step-Free Access

Resting on two acres of land with impressive views of the Joshua Tree Park mountains, this unique C-shaped home invites you to enjoy a relaxing break with luxurious amenities. Designed to combine indoor and outdoor living, you'll find "La Cantina" door walls in every room – so you can create the coolest indoor/outdoor bar in the desert. In the centre, you'll find a wind-buffered patio with a rustic dining table and retractable canopy, so you can seek shade from the sun by day and reveal the spectacular starry skies by night. Soak in the hot tub or cowboy bath, gather around the fire pit to share stories, or doze off in the hammock. Inside, the home is equally impressive, with a desert chic vibe and plenty of room to dance and socialise while enjoying this joyful space. 

Ventana Cove

Wine Cooler

Named the coolest stay in California by Condé Nast, there’s an otherworldly quality to this secluded desert home. Set on ten acres of wilderness in the Mojave Desert, the enchantment begins the moment you turn on to the five kilometre private dirt road. Maybe it’s the mystical theatre of boulders that surround the all-white structure, or perhaps it’s the clear blue of the vast sky overhead, but either way, it’s the kind of place you can never forget. We’d describe it as high design in the wild desert. There are floor-to-ceiling sliders in every room (apart from the bathrooms) framing magical views, and furniture by iconic designers like Christian Liagre as well as one-of-a-kind artworks and Moroccan rugs. While you’re just a short drive from the bars and shops of Pioneertown, we’ll wager that once this sanctuary has cast its spell, you’ll never want to leave. Wake up early for an incredible sunrise, walk through the boulders seeking serenity, take a dip in the outdoor tin bath, and stay up late counting stars in the hot tub or round the fire pit. During Milky Way season (March to September), the sky is filled with fire and light and it can almost feel like the cosmos has dropped in for a conversation – and in a place like this, who’s to say it hasn’t?

Desert Soul

Security System

Mid-century modern meets boho chic at this cabin in the heart of the Yucca Valley. From the tile backsplash and terrazzo worktops in the kitchen to the concrete flooring and exposed brick around the Franklin stove, we love how the design honours the home’s retro roots in a modern way. We like all the personal touches, too — such as the vinyl record player and Public Goods toiletries. Our favourite bit, though, has to be the backyard. It's essentially a second living space, with a large sectional sofa, six-seater dining table, and cosy fire pit to enjoy. We can just imagine whiling away the evenings out there, watching the unforgettable desert sunset, chatting around the fire, or dining under the stars. Joshua Tree National Park is just a 15-minute drive away and is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts wanting to hike, cycle, or even horseback ride. Culture vultures will love the area's selection of art galleries and vineyards, too. No matter how you spend your day, we know you'll love coming home and unwinding at this unique desert hideaway.

Desert Rose

Set in acres and acres of untamed desert landscape, it doesn’t get much more serene than this palatial Joshua Tree villa. The surreal landscape of boulders and cacti is illuminated with custom lighting at night so you can admire it during a moonlight soak in the hot tub, or an evening dip in the sunken cowboy tub as the desert sky is speckled with stars. Get a fire crackling in the fire pit to keep the desert chill at bay, and spend days sprawled out in the sun on the wooden deck overlooking the miles and miles of rugged terrain. Our favourite part of this home has to be the round chill-out room where a curved sofa sits in the sunshine of a towering glass atrium and a wet bar awaits for drinks by the fire. Picture frame windows in the dine-in kitchen keep that desert view coming and bedrooms are decked out in boho-chic with macrame wall art and raw wood furnishings. Find inner peace in the yoga room where a curved wall of windows lets the desert light stream in. When it comes to exploring the great outdoors, Joshua Tree National Park entrance is a twenty-minute drive away, and downtown Joshua Tree and Pioneertown are both twelve minutes away.  

Mountain Pose

Looking for somewhere secluded to unplug and unwind? Look no further than this sleek two-bedroom oasis, set on its own 2.5-acre plot and just a 25-minute drive from the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. You’re also only a 15-minute ride from all the shops and restaurants of Pioneertown, while there are walking trails within walking distance. After a day discovering the Hidden Valley Nature Trail, visiting mesmerising Skull Rock or exploring Pioneertown Wildlands Reserve Park (five minutes away from the house by car), head home to stargaze from your private terrace, cook up a feast in the state-of-the-art kitchen, or soothe aching muscles with a soak in the tub. High ceilings, huge bay windows and an open floor plan ensure this desert escape is flooded with invigorating sunlight, with the surrounding landscape providing awe-inspiring views on every side.

Pioneer Place

A group of friends seeking a little bit of magic will fall in love with this whimsical home, set in five acres of desert land. It's a truly unique setup, compromised of the main cabin, a yurt, three trailers and a safari tent – this is guaranteed to be a glamping experience you'll never forget. Ease yourself into the rugged landscape with lunch under the linen canopy, before taking an alfresco bath as you wash away your stresses in perfect peace. On piercing-cold desert nights, cosy up around the crackling fire pit to toast marshmallows and tell stories, or hunker down under the boho-chic blankets in your trailer. The sunrises and sunsets here are spectacular but don't miss the opportunity to do some stargazing away from the bright city lights too. Joshua Tree National Park and Yucca Valley are less than a twenty-minute drive away for those looking for adventure, but we don't blame you if you never want to leave this desert sanctuary.

Wild Rocks is one of those homes that always appears effortlessly chic. Designed by Oller & Pejic, it’s an architectural gem set against Yucca Valley’s rugged desert terrain. The sliding glass doors blur the lines between the inside and outside, allowing you to enjoy home-cooked meals on the terrace, gaze at the stars, and relax in the hot tub. We also loved the enormous record collection, which features some of the host Joann’s all-time favourite tunes. Found just a short drive from Joshua Tree National Park, there are plenty of exciting adventures waiting for you.

Wild Rocks

There's something special about desert light, and this captivating Joshua Tree retreat is the perfect place to observe it. The sunsets are visible from the outdoor Jacuzzi or cooling cowboy tub, while the mirrored dome in the garden was designed with stargazing in mind. It's clear as soon as you arrive that your hosts, Cherish and Ramon, have put a lot of effort into the interiors of the home, and they've bestowed it with a certain rustic desert charm that's hard to pinpoint. Of course, it doesn't hurt that you can step directly out onto the deck in the cool of the morning and watch the desert critters scurrying around before they're forced to retreat from the heat of the day. If you want to head off for the day, the west entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is only two miles away, your gateway to almost 800,000 acres of mystic desert. Your hosts also provide two eclectic bikes that you can use to pedal your way across the desert.

Visiting Joshua Tree is one thing, but seeing a big portion from the comfort of your bath is another. If the latter sounds like a bucket list goal, then Zenith Valley is for you. With absolute privacy and stunning views, this home is a great getaway for those who want to kick their feet up and relax — for a few days at least. A typical day here starts with a sunny breakfast and an optional yoga routine, for which there's plenty of space. Then head outside on the terrace to lounge and read, before dipping into a hot bath. When it comes to socialising, you've got plenty of activities to try out, like ping pong, pool, as well as your own poker table. In the evenings, retreat to the luxurious bedrooms for some rest and enjoy the sounds of Yucca Valley far away from the buzzing city traffic. 

Zenith Valley

Blissfully detached from reality, this home springs up in the wild Californian desert like a mirage. The interior of this pueblo-style home has been rehauled with a discerning eye. Enjoy the wood-burning fireplace, plush designer sofa, and sleek outfitted kitchen. Large French doors open the living area onto the desert landscape, where you can admire the mountains and cacti from your shady perch on the couch. In the mornings, make a luxurious pour-over coffee and enjoy it on the front patio in the early desert air. 

If you’re bold enough, stretch out on a lounger and work on your tan before cooling off in the outdoor shower. Secluded yet conveniently located, you’re just a twenty-minute drive from the splendour of Joshua Tree National Park and its many hikes and rock formations. You’re even closer to the action of Pioneertown and Yucca Valley – drive under ten minutes to catch live music and down a few drinks at the legendary Pappy & Harriet’s. Return home and spend some time on the loungers, underneath some of the most magnificent stars in all of California. 

Off-Grid Comfort

Nestled in 2.5 acres, this haven welcomes you to rest, recharge and experience the magic of desert living. Inside, the rooms are styled with art and furnishings collected from travels across the world, plus the owners have taken care to ensure maximum comfort with memory foam mattresses, toiletries and a range of extra services – including a private chef and massage treatments. There’s also a swimming pool, hot tub and yoga studio – perfect for those in search of a meditative retreat. And when you’re looking to spread your wings, it’s just a short seven-minute drive into downtown Joshua Tree.

You’ll feel wonderfully secluded at this homestead in Joshua Tree, surrounded by the Mojave Desert and arresting views of the rolling mountains. Open, bright and instantly welcoming, the home’s interiors are colourful and cheerful, matching its vibrant pops of oranges, reds and blues with the natural hues found in the arid landscape that surrounds you. We love the huge windows that allow the light to pour in and the open-plan kitchen with its bar stools inviting casual breakfasts before a day of exploring. Head out to visit Joshua Tree National Park – an eight-minute drive away – or walk ten minutes to explore downtown Joshua Tree with its eco-markets, saloons, restaurants and wine bars. After a day of adventuring, come back home to mix yourself a margarita and pop a record on to dance to, or head out to the shaded deck to watch the sunset over the desert with a cold beer. As night closes in, light the fire pit and watch the sky turn into a dazzling show of stars before retreating to your cool bedrooms for a serene night’s sleep. 


The Roadrunner

Natural environments don’t come much more impressive than Joshua Tree National Park. And this unique, mid-century, artistic home is nestled among the incredible desert scenery of Yucca Valley. If you’re an artist yourself, this is perfect for inspiring isolation. Or if you simply enjoy wonderfully eccentric, one-off houses, you'll feel very at home. Behind concrete bricked walls, we love the surprise of retro decor such as a vintage pink bathtub, psychedelic patterned armchairs, and colourful woven rugs. The rustic ranch-style fittings make the bedrooms feel at one with the American west. Step out onto the star-lit back patio of the garden to cook on the barbecue or firepit – whoever wins at table tennis is in charge of dinner that evening. You could spend all night gazing up at countless stars, with a margarita in hand and the hot tub bubbling away. After everyone wanders back inside, keep the night going with the built-in bar, games, and a record player. Leaf through the host's vinyl collection and hit play for an authentic experience of 1960s California. Wake up and head to a nearby trendy coffee shop for breakfast, then continue the artsy vibe with a day at the outrageously quirky Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum. Painter or poet, hiker or yoga practitioner, there’s something to help you reset and express yourself at this desert abode.  

Desert Revelation

Projector

Breakfast Included

As soon as you step through the door of this renovated 1960s house, you know you’ve found something pretty special. With a dazzling desert setting and an interior that could grace the cover of a glossy magazine, it’s not your average home. The vibe is mid-century meets cowgirl, with macrame wall hangings, folky raffia, battered leather and buffalo horns. The living space is centred around a vast sheepskin that’s like walking on a cloud, and the full width glass doors pull back completely, blurring the line between inside and out. And you’ll definitely want to spend lots of time outside – the views are spectacular. Days here pass by like a dream, hiking through the rugged landscapes of Joshua Tree National Park, or exploring the artsy town, before coming back to your oasis for a soak in the saltwater hot tub. There’s also an outdoor rain shower if you want to wash the desert dust away. As the sun dips below the horizon, sip a sundowner in the retro hanging chair before gathering round the firepit to toast s’mores as the stars pop out one by one.
