About this house rental
Summary:
Spanning ten untamed acres deep in the Joshua Tree wilderness, That Desert House is a striking, sunlit outpost built for those seeking complete privacy and wide-open views. Set completely apart from neighboring homes, this modern desert home offers an uninterrupted front-row seat to sweeping valley panoramas, dramatic mountain backdrops, and the quiet magic of the high desert landscape.
The Space:
The interior pairs high end modern finishes with warm, organic textures to create a light-filled sanctuary. Polished concrete floors, clean lines, and expansive glass frame panoramic views, bringing the desert terrain right into the central living space. A fully equipped custom kitchen makes cooking at home a breeze, while plush sleeping quarters and crisp linens ensure deep, peaceful sleep in total stillness.
Outside, the ten-acre footprint serves as your private stargazing observatory. Watch the colors shift across the mountains from the broad concrete patio, gather with friends around the open-air fire pit as twilight arrives, or melt into the bubbling hot tub for an evening under pitch-black night skies. Whether sipping your morning coffee while watching local wildlife or taking in the brilliant cosmos after dark, every corner of the grounds celebrates high-desert serenity.

LOCAL ADD-ON EXPERIENCES
From sound baths and in-home massages to stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Southern California, we've handpicked local vendors to match whatever mood you're in. Book a personal chef for a lazy night in, saddle up for a horseback ride, or take a guided hike through the National Park or other local trails. However you want to spend your time here, relaxing or adventuring, the desert (and our favorite locals) has you covered. Once your reservation is confirmed, let us know you are interested and we will connect you!
Guest Access:
The property and house is yours to roam and relax.
Getting Around:
We recommend traveling by car to explore Joshua Tree for maximum flexibility, as ride sharing services are unreliable. If you prefer not to drive, the local taxi service Lucky 777 is a dependable option. Our property offers free parking for up to four vehicles to ensure your car is kept secure during your stay.
Other Things to Note:
3:00PM Check-In: We'd love for you to check in before 8pm so you have plenty of daylight to settle in and get comfortable before dark.
HVAC: Central heating and air conditioning are provided throughout the home to keep guests comfortable in every season.
Pets Allowed: We welcome dogs for a fee of $60 per dog, with a maximum of 2 dogs per stay. Please note that no other pets are permitted at this property.
Dirt Roads: The property is located on about 5 miles of dirt roads. We send out specific directions to get to the property, please drive carefully.
No Fireplace : The indoor fireplace is not operational and should not be used.
Guest Policy: We only allow the number of guests listed as the maximum occupancy for this property, so any additional day guests must be requested and approved in advance. No extra overnight guests are permitted beyond those included in your reservation.
Watch your Step: This desert land holds onto bits of its past, so you may spot the occasional rusty object or piece of glass in the yard, please wear shoes anytime you're outside. You'll also be sharing the landscape with local snakes and scorpions. They want nothing to do with you, so if you see one, just back away calmly and quietly
Wood Burning Fires: We do not permit wood-burning fires anywhere on the property at any time, including in fire pits or fireplaces, due to the high risk of wildfire in our area. This policy is strictly enforced for the safety of our guests, neighbors, and the surrounding landscape,.
Desert Critters: Please keep doors closed while entering and exiting, curious critters will let themselves in given the chance. Desert wildlife is part of what makes this area special, expect sightings of jackrabbits, tortoises, roadrunners, quail, and lizards. You may also spot coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, or occasionally a bobcat or mountain lion. Most just want their space, so it's best to give them yours.
Camera/ Decibel Monitor: This property has forward-facing exterior security cameras, but there are no cameras anywhere inside the home. We also use noise decibel monitors indoors to help avoid disturbing neighbors. These only measure sound levels and never record audio.

The whole experience was wonderful. It truly was an escape. You could hear yourself think and breathe. Seeing the night sky, hearing the coyotes in the distance to seeing the humming birds float by. Sitting in the hot tub and soaking up the desert sun.The home was well appointed with all your needs. Just stock up the fridge and forget about your troubles. What can we say but ahh!!!!

We absolutely loved this place! The view of the night sky from the hot tub is breath-taking with no light pollution because of how remote we were. We had plenty of space and everything we needed. The beds were incredibly comfortable, too!

The Desert house is incredibly charming, and the communication and advice from the host made our family's stay all more comforting. The unobstucted mountain view from the living room was like living in a dream. Definitely follow the host's instructions when getting there, the last 2 miles of dirt road are well maintained, don't try to follow google maps which can suggest roads not yet built. Once there, it's a quiet calm paradise away from busy cities.

Cute little secluded place however the pictures are outdated. While the house felt clean, it could definitely use a deep cleaning like washing walls, curtains, etc. there was a very strong odor when we arrived. There are no cleaning supplies available but they do provide soap, sponge, etc. There is only one game for any sort of entertainment so make sure you bring a book, Bluetooth speaker, cards, something to do. As mentioned, there is a lot of rusty metal around the yard so be aware if you have kids. There isn’t much for outdoor furniture and most of what’s there is broken, bring activities for the kids. The porch is great for meals and watching the sunrise!
