Desert Noir Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

An amazing location near Joshua Tree awaits at Desert Noir! Boasting 2.5 beautiful acres, this charming house hosts views so exceptional that you'll feel like you're already inside the national park. Hike the stunning trails behind the house or drive 16 miles to the Joshua Tree West Entrance. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood with a shared gate, this home offers ultimate privacy and the chance to view a dark sky brimming with shimmering stars. You'll also find your own private well, grid-tied electricity, and high-speed internet service.

Inside, large windows in the living area showcase beautiful views and flood the space with natural light. Unwind on the sofa bed and stream your favorite shows on the Roku TV. Prepare tasty meals in the well-equipped kitchen, detailed with stainless steel appliances. A wood stove with floor-to-ceiling stone surround provides a warm ambience in the dining area. When you're ready to eat, gather around the dining table.

Your outdoor haven offers ample space to relax. Refresh with a dip in the stock tank pool (also known as a cowboy pool). Unwind in the hot tub or gather around the gas firepit to swap stories of your day's adventures. An outdoor shower offers a convenient spot to rinse off after hiking, and a covered wraparound patio provides a shaded spot to kick back with a crisp drink. Also on-site, a cozy caravan creates even more living space with cushioned seating inside, a table for two, and a small deck -- perfect for morning meditations.

A Picturesque Oasis with Room for Improvement
Our stay at Desert Noir was a memorable experience filled with breathtaking beauty and a sense of remote tranquility. Nestled in a picturesque location, the property offers stunning views that make waking up each morning feel like a dream. The house itself exudes a professionally decorated charm, with thoughtful touches that add to its allure. The seclusion of this place is a true gem; you'll feel like you're in your own private paradise. The landscape and surroundings add to the feeling of being somewhere truly special. However, while the property has its high points, it's clear that it's in need of some maintenance. Many of the potted plants were dead, some decorations and outdoor lights were broken, and some amenities required attention. The pool had a leak and was completely drained after a day at the park, the pool filter was out of order. The outdoor shower was also non-functional. We were informed that the hot tub had a leak but after refilling it, it seemed to hold up. One aspect that raised concerns was the outdoor camper, which had "danger" and "keep out" signs on it. Check-In was unclear, the emails say meet face to face, but after four calls to figure out where to go I found out they just call you at check-in time with the lock code In summary, Desert Noir has the potential to be a truly stunning property with a little TLC. While there were some misses during our stay, they were not show stoppers, and we would definitely consider returning for another visit

Peaceful place in Joshua tree
Me and my partner enjoyed our stay at the property. It was secluded and peaceful while being close to Joshua tree national park. The cleanness was a little below our expectations but it is understandable since the house is in rural area and it’s easy to get some dust. Overall we enjoyed our stay over there.

You have to see sunsets from Desert Noir!
Desert Noir is a dream! The house itself is cute and clean and very comfortable. Everything listed in the description was accurate. We truly felt like we were at home here and enjoyed our stay. The best part of our experience was the view! No words or pictures could ever describe the beauty of the area surrounding the house. Sunsets were magical! The house is far enough off the beaten path to enjoy the solitude of nature, yet close enough that getting to town and Joshua Tree National Park were easy. The check in / check out processes were simple and straight forward. I’d highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a cozy desert retreat!

The best
The location is the best- it’s surrounded by Joshua Trees, even more than you’d see in the park. The rental itself is very cute and comfortable. We enjoyed star gazing from the hot tub every night.

Joshua Tree Black House
The views are spectacular and location private. The house was clean and had quality clean linens. Having an outdoor fire pit was perfect for star gazing. We enjoyed walking the road every morning with our dog and our Tesla Model Y made it easily uo the 1+ mile sandy road.
