As you approach the space you will be greeted by a giant weeping Joshua Tree that directs visitors toward the on site Tesla Charger. Upon entering you'll find a fully stocked kitchen and ample living space. A retractable 8x20 foot wall of glass offers sweeping views of the valley below and surrounding desert flora. To the northwest you have 45+ acres of undeveloped desert which gives you a sense of being "out there" while still only being 5 minutes from town. Inside you will find a space that was meticulously designed with comfort in mind from the king size Tuft and Needle bed to the vintage chesterfield couch in the living room. Unwind after a long day of hiking in the 6 person hot tub and marvel at the elusive sight of the Milky Way. When it finally comes time to retire, premium down pillows and parachute bedding will have you sleeping in and late for any excursions you may have the next day. \*Please inquire about our Edge Theory Cold Plunge system if you would like to add a cold plunge tank to your stay. The Location: Close to town for essentials and exploration but secluded enough to experience complete serenity. 7 minutes to the Joshua Tree Farmers Market 15 minutes to Joshua Tree National Park 15 minutes to Pappy and Harriets 20 minutes to The Integratron ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Up to 23 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Electric car charging station ## Similar properties ![Lobby sitting area](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/2000000/1890000/1889300/1889269/6c3ca685.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spark by Hilton Yucca Valley Joshua Tree Yucca Valley - Pool - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 8.6 Excellent 235 reviews £106 includes taxes & fees 1 Apr - 2 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-01&endDate=2026-04-02&selected=1889269&PinnedHotelID=1889269&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/76000000/75280000/75276100/75276021/ae3f2541.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Bungalows by Homestead Modern at The Joshua Tree Retreat Center Joshua Tree - Pool - Spa - Pet-friendly - Parking included 9.4 Exceptional 402 reviews £203 includes taxes & fees 3 Mar - 4 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-03&endDate=2026-03-04&selected=75276021&PinnedHotelID=75276021&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Apartment (1 Bedroom) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98550000/98549800/98549770/a3c03322.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### California Vacation Rental With Hot Tub & Patio!
