Six minutes from the West entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. Close enough to town for coffee, dinner, a gallery afternoon. And private enough that none of it matters once you're back on the property.

Not a rental you're just passing through. A few days where you actually get to disappear.

A real escape, not just a getaway.

About the hosts

We looked at more than twenty houses out here before this one. None of them were the Joshua Tree we had in our heads.

We wanted a place we could bring friends and family to, where the drive out ends and everything gets quiet and nobody has to be anywhere. That version of the desert didn't exist yet, so we built it.

We passed on this house twice. No electricity, broken windows, no drywall. It was a shell with a roof. The third time we came back, standing in the middle of it, we finally saw it.
