Description Among Joshua Trees: Yucca Valley

Eight private acres of high-desert land, a heated saltwater pool with an integrated spa, and a custom barrel sauna tucked among Joshua Trees – this house is instantly impressive. Each bedroom opens onto its own private patio with an outdoor shower, and when the sun goes down, the barbecue terrace is the place to be. A detached casita gives groups flexible space across two buildings, each with its own kitchen. Joshua Tree National Park is a twenty-five-minute drive, with Pioneertown and Pappy & Harriet's twenty minutes away.

Home truths:
* The main house and one-bedroom casita are separate buildings with no internal connection, so you'll be stepping outside to move between them.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair.
* Due to this home's remote location, you might find that the phone signal is patchy from time to time.
* You're deep in the desert down dirt roads – a car is essential for getting around, whether you're heading to Joshua Tree Village ten minutes away or stocking up on groceries in Yucca Valley. Parking is available for up to five cars.
