This modern family-style home is perfect for the sophisticated traveler looking for a unique desert getaway without sacrificing any of the refinements or comforts of 5-star living. The property is centrally located near downtown and Joshua Tree Saloon, and just a 5-minute drive to the National Park Entrance. The eponymous Geodesic Dome is the star and most unique feature of the property. However, it also features a stylish main house that's straight out of a contemporary design magazine. Tasteful pops of earth tone hues, luxury finishes and materials, geometric patterns and natural fibers add texture and personality throughout. The private outdoor oasis consists of a Pergola with misters for hot afternoons and Edison lights for cool desert nights. Take in some rays on the chaise lounge chairs, enjoy a sunset dinner and gather around the sunken fire pit to share stories and laughs. Then take it to the polyhedron dome to recenter and recharge! It's perfect at any time of day or night for a quiet conversation or meditation thanks to the included climate control.

Local guide
About Joshua Tree
Drive a couple of hours east of Los Angeles, and you’re in a different world. Nowhere is that more apparent than Joshua Tree with its many artist residences, rugged rock formations, and stark desert landscapes. 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.
