Set on a private 2.5-acre property, the home rests in a quiet stretch of open desert where mountains frame the horizon and Joshua Trees dot the landscape. A stroll around the fenced acreage offers an easy morning walk, and the surrounding dirt roads stretch for miles and are perfect for exploring the high desert at a gentle pace. Guests can also access OHV trails directly from the house—park on-site and ride out to Giant Rock and Johnson Valley without ever loading up a trailer.
Guests enjoy easy access to both Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree town within 10 miles, with the national park entrance just 16 miles away. A scenic drive through Pipes Canyon leads to Pioneertown and its charming Old West ambiance. The neighborhood is rural, serene, and spacious—yet only a short drive from local restaurants, bars, and shops.
Guests will have access to the whole house, the 2.5 acres of fenced in property and miles of surrounding landscape. There is a pool and hot tub, please be safe around the water. There is a storage shed that is not accessible.
The home is located down a flat half-mile dirt road. Any vehicle can access it, but AWD is helpful for exploring remote attractions like Giant Rock and Johnson Valley.
Bring groceries & essentials - once you arrive, you won’t want to leave.

What our guests are saying:
"Barb’s place was everything we hoped for and more - a perfect blend of modern style and peaceful desert serenity. The home is beautifully designed, incredibly comfortable, and set on a private 2.5-acre property that feels completely secluded while still being close to Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, and Pioneertown. We loved the quiet mornings, walking the property, and ending each day in the hot tub under an unbelievably star-filled sky (the telescope was such a thoughtful touch). The house was spotless and well equipped, with a great kitchen, comfortable beds, a fun game room, and a separate casita that worked perfectly for our group, plus the vintage jukebox added so much charm and character. The outdoor space truly steals the show — the pool, hammocks, fire pit, and lounge areas made it hard to leave at all. Barb was a fantastic host: responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. If you’re looking for a stylish, peaceful desert retreat with incredible views and privacy, this place is a total gem and we would absolutely stay here again." -Sara H.
"We loved staying at this very welcoming retreat. The coffee bar and juicer were so well stocked. The fresh squeezed orange juice in the morning, the yummy iced coffees in the afternoon. Bright , open and airy feeling. So many options for relaxing. The new comfy lounge chairs by the pool were my favourite . In the evening we relaxed in the new hot tub and gazed at the stars. My sisters and I created so many wonderful memories together. Can’t wait to go back again…" -Ruby P.
"We had a wonderful stay—thank you so much! The home was spotless, beautifully styled, and exactly as described. Check-in was seamless with clear, thoughtful instructions, and communication was warm and responsive throughout our stay. It was the perfect place to relax after hiking in Joshua Tree National Park. We loved unwinding by the pool, stargazing from the spa, and taking in the sweeping desert views. The coffee and juice bar was a delightful touch each morning, and every detail felt intentional, making the space both comfortable and effortless to enjoy.Overall, it was a peaceful, relaxing stay, and we’d love to return again." - Travers H.

We supply a full spice collection, quality cookware and bakeware, plenty of dishes and silverware, cooking utensils, and small appliances, so everything you need is right at your fingertips.

As evening settles in, fire up the gas grill by the pool for relaxed, poolside dinners and unhurried conversation.
COFFEE & JUICE BAR
Start your morning at our thoughtfully stocked coffee and juice bar, designed for slow, satisfying mornings. Enjoy freshly roasted beans with elevated brew options—Moccamaster, Chemex, or French Press—plus a scale, grinder, gourmet syrups, and creamer for a café-worthy cup. For something fresh, our citrus juicer makes it easy to press local oranges and try our curated juice recipes. Tea is also provided, along with a Fellow kettle for the perfect pour.
LOUNGE SPACES
Relax in the thoughtfully decorated open-concept living area featuring vintage touches, vibrant textiles & expansive views. Whether you're reading, playing board games or simply soaking in the quiet, this space delivers style & comfort.
OUTSIDE SPACE
The outdoor spaces are where this home truly shines. Cool off in the large private pool—warmed by solar heating panels—stretch out on comfortable loungers or the oversized couch by the pool, and let the spa melt the day away beneath a sky full of stars, all with no added cost for pool or hot tub use. Nap in a hammock, gather around the fire pit for s'mores as stories unfold, and when the night grows quiet, turn the telescope toward the dark desert sky and trace the Milky Way overhead. Surrounded by Joshua Trees and wide-open desert, this is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and truly connect.
GAME ROOM
Step into your own cozy desert clubhouse — a space made for laughter, connection, and a little friendly competition. Challenge each other on the arcade games, rack up a round of pool, or settle in on the lounge couch for a movie night on the 65" TV.
There’s a piano for slow evening melodies, shelves of board games for unplugged fun, and plenty of room to gather after a day exploring Joshua Tree. Whether it’s family game night or a relaxed evening indoors, this space invites you to linger a little longer.
LAUNDRY ROOM
There is a laundry room accessed from the primary bedroom. Laundry detergent, broom and dust pan, vacuum and basic cleaning supplies are provided.
WILDLIFE IN THE DESERT
Our home sits in the open high desert — beautiful, peaceful, and naturally wild.
On occasion, you may see insects or small desert critters, especially if doors are left open. Rare sightings of ants, spiders, mice, or even a snake can happen — this is their landscape, too.
Most guests embrace this as part of the desert experience. If anything ever feels concerning, please reach out. We’re always happy to help ensure you feel comfortable and at ease.
PETS
We love welcoming well-behaved dogs. Due to allergies, we’re only able to host dogs at this time. A $75 pet fee, per stay applies (maximum of two), and they must be disclosed prior to booking.
We kindly ask that you clean up after your dog and help us care for the home and grounds. Dogs are not permitted in the pool or spa, as fur can affect the filtration system.
The desert is beautiful and naturally wild. Please keep dogs leashed and supervised outdoors, as native plants (including cactus) and wildlife can pose a risk. Guests are fully responsible for their dogs and their safety throughout their stay.
