Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

When we say this home is remote, we really mean it. Set in five acres of wilderness, surrounded by the mountains of Johnson Valley, this is the kind of place where you fall back in love with nature. Breathtaking sandy scenery fills every window, bringing the calm of the Hi-Desert inside. We love how the neutral colour scheme and polished floors are warmed by handmade cushions, blankets and local art. Days here begin with a coffee on the patio (prepared in the modern, chef's kitchen), while watching cottontails hop by, or with a spot of yoga in the meditation corner. Take the dirt road to Yucca Valley to stock up on supplies or drive half an hour to the dramatic landscapes of Joshua Tree National Park. As nighttime draws in, gather your ensemble around the fire pit for a few toasted s’mores as the desert turns to night. The sunsets are magical and the stars are brighter here than anywhere else in California thanks to the elevation. So, sit back and gaze in wonder at this enchanting natural landscape.

About Pioneertown

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.
