About this property

El Coyote - Infinity Pool, Cedar Spa, Fire pit, Wildlife Watering hole, by town

Wild Desert Luxury Meets Wildlife Sanctuary in Joshua Tree

Welcome to your private high-desert retreat — a luxurious sanctuary on over four pristine acres just three minutes from downtown Joshua Tree and the gateway to the National Park. This is more than a vacation rental — it’s an immersive desert experience.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the quiet magic of the Mojave. Step onto the patio and take in panoramic views of open desert and endless sky. Relax in the cedar spa, float in the infinity-edge pool, or rinse off under the scenic outdoor shower as the sunset paints the mountains in gold and rose.

Now featuring our newest addition — a natural wildlife watering hole, visible right from the master bedroom. Watch coyotes, jackrabbits, quail, and even desert tortoises stop by for a drink as the desert comes alive at dawn and dusk. It’s your own private wildlife observatory, all from the comfort of your bed.

As night falls, gather around the stone fire pit or the stargazing circle for an unforgettable view of the Milky Way. Grill dinner under the stars, dine al fresco, and let the vast quiet of Joshua Tree wash over you.

We’ve also created a special fenced area for your pups to roam safely — a cholla-free zone thoughtfully cleared to protect those precious paws.

Designed for serenity, connection, and inspiration, our home offers the best of Joshua Tree — wild nature, luxurious amenities, and that ineffable desert soul.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Incredibly clean and spacious, inside and out. The pool and spa were amazing! The kitchen is well stocked with all of your cookware/serviceware needs. In fact, the whole house is well stocked and everything feels incredibly easy and accessible. Immediately felt comfortable and settled in just a few moments after checking in.Host communication was excellent and prompt to respond to any questions or concerns. If you need a weekend getaway and love quiet, comfy spaces with beautiful scenery, we can't think of a better place to do that than El Coyote. We WILL be back, it was that good!!

We absolutely loved this house. It was beautiful, comfortable, thoughtfully designed, and the perfect setting for our team retreat. We had plenty of space to gather and connect, but also room to spread out and relax. The outdoor space was incredible, everything we needed was there, and we felt at home almost immediately. Most of the nights were clear and we sat out to stargaze during the lunar eclipse. Just this morning I sat outside with coffee and watched around 5-6 jackrabbits fighting. If you’ve never seen that, google it. It’s hilarious. I would absolutely stay here again, and will be back for a personal visit, no question.

A beautiful home with magnificent sunrise and sunsets. Close to everything especially the best sites starting at the west gate of Joshua Tree park; yet still very private. A very clean and well maintained home, all the amenities you could need. Great pool, spa, fire pit and outdoor table and setting - we truly relaxed and enjoyed. Super smooth and responsive communication, check in and check out. Local restaurants also fun and close. We would definitely stay again. Thanks again!!

El Coyote was a perfect high desert getaway. Great location, close to town but still felt remote and pretty private. Beautiful valley and sunset views, can't wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Tim Brinkman

Host profile image

I’ve always been drawn to places that feel a little removed from the everyday, and Joshua Tree is one of those rare spots where you can truly slow down. I spend a lot of time in the desert, whether it’s hiking, exploring, or just sitting outside at night taking in the quiet and the stars. That’s really what inspired this home.

My goal as a host is simple: create a place where people can disconnect, relax, and have a memorable experience without having to think about the details. I’ve put a lot of thought into how the property is set up so it actually works for how people want to spend their time here, whether that’s a quiet weekend, a special trip, or just a reset from a busy schedule.

I’m not a hands-on host during your stay, but my local manager is and I’m always available if you need anything. I want the experience to feel easy, private, and seamless, like it’s your own place in the desert.

At the end of the day, I enjoy hosting because I know how special this setting is, and it’s rewarding to share that with people who are looking for something a little different than a typical stay.

Why they chose this property

The four acres of desert vegetation are stunning. I fell in love with this property the first time I walked the grounds. The valley views give it a remote feeling, but the home is ideally situated minutes from town and the park. The house is airy with high ceilings. I added six French doors to this sundrenched home so guests can enjoy the beautiful views from every room. The infinity pool, the cedar spa, the firepit, the stargazing pit, the outdoor shower… all add to the transformative experience this property presents.

What makes this property unique

his isn’t just a Joshua Tree rental, it’s a private desert experience. Set on over four acres, the property offers true seclusion and quiet, with no close neighbors and wide-open views, yet it’s still just minutes from town and the park entrance. The outdoor space is what really sets it apart. Instead of a single feature, it’s a fully immersive environment with an infinity-edge pool, cedar hot tub, fire pit, dedicated stargazing area, outdoor shower, multiple lounge spaces, and even a natural wildlife watering hole where you can watch the desert come alive. It feels more like your own private desert retreat than a typical backyard.

The home is designed for how people actually want to spend time here, with slow mornings enjoying the views, afternoons in the pool, and evenings under a sky full of stars. There’s also an authenticity that’s hard to find. The space reflects a true desert sensibility—comfortable, intentional, and relaxed without feeling staged. Perfect for couples, small groups, or longer stays, this is a place where the setting does the work. A stay here isn’t just about where you sleep, it’s about how you experience Joshua Tree.
