Desert Wild

We created a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom home with an open floor plan layout. The home includes the kitchen, a living area with a kiva gas fireplace and a projector for movies and a dining area that displays sweeping views of the mountains on both sides. Our main bedroom has a king bed and an ensuite finished in plaster with a huge window to look over our cactus garden while you are showering. We have a guest bedroom with a queen bed where you wake up to beautiful views. The guest bathroom has a large built-in soaking tub and shower.

Out front, we have a spacious, covered patio which contains a day swing and a built-in seating area for morning coffees while watching the wildlife or the vibrant colors at sunset. Our backyard has a refreshing pool, a shaded cabana area, an oversized daybed and sun loungers. We also have a bocce ball court, bbq, and a covered outdoor dining area. For those cool nights, we have a hot tub and outdoor firepit.

Desert Wild has everything you could want for a comfortable stay in Joshua Tree. Inside we have super comfy bedding including memory foam mattresses, Bed Threads linens and Tuft and Needle pillows. We provide Public Goods soaps, shampoos, conditioners and lotions. We have a “top of the line” appointed kitchen. Outside the guests can find a pool, hot tub, BBQ, bocce court, wood-burning fireplace (season permitting), and a level 2 EV charging port. On cool evenings, snuggle up by our gas adobe fireplace and pick a movie from Netflix to watch on our indoor projector screen. We have aircon and heating to keep you comfortable but the design of our house keeps everything at a nice temperature most of the year.

Our pool is 20 feet by 10 feet by 5.5 feet deep with a tanning shelf. It can be heated at an extra cost which we recommend from about October until June because the nights are still chilly.

Joshua Tree is a famous destination for hiking and climbing.  There are hikes for every level of fitness and we can make recommendations during your stay. Joshua Tree is also famous for its dark skies. So, stargazing is an activity that many people love to do when they come to visit and stargazing is especially fun from our hot tub. Also, Desert Wild’s pool is a great way to cool off after a day of hiking. Additionally, you can play a game of bocce ball while having a bbq and eating your meal in our outdoor dining area while enjoying the beauty of our cactus garden.

One highlight is the wildlife. Joshua Tree is a wild place. We have desert tortoises, long-horned sheep, coyotes, jackrabbits, desert quails, eagles, owls and all sorts of reptiles….just to name a few. Most of these can be seen right from Desert Wild, by driving through the National Park or walking the nearby trails.

Second, Joshua Tree and the neighboring towns have a lot of quirky stores for vintage shopping, art or handcrafted items. The Saturday morning farmers market and the Saturday morning flea market are great places to visit. We usually head to the farmer’s market for a coffee and some groceries, and then head to the flea market to try and find something unique or an old record.

People also love heading to the odd and unique places that are all within a 30-minute drive to Joshua Tree. We always recommend looking into a sound bath at the Integratron followed by a drink and a snack at one of our favorite spots that we can recommend if you book with us.
