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.

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.
