Unplug and recharge at Back Haus, a stylishly renovated loft-style retreat nestled in the heart of Joshua Tree. Located just minutes from town and the National Park entrance, this peaceful getaway blends sleek modern design with panoramic desert vistas. Spend your days exploring the park, and your evenings gathering around the propane fire pit under dark, starry skies. Featuring a full kitchen, a walk-in rain shower, blackout blinds, and a record player for setting the vibe, it’s the ultimate high-desert escape for two.

Designed with comfort and simplicity in mind, the open-concept layout feels light, airy, and inviting.

When it's time to rest, sink into the queen bed fitted with blackout blinds nearby to ensure a deep, uninterrupted sleep after a long day of hiking.
Unobstructed, endless views stretch across the landscape, giving you a front-row seat to spectacular desert sunsets.

Book a personal chef for a lazy night in, saddle up for a horseback ride, or take a guided hike through the National Park or other local trails. However you want to spend your time here, relaxing or adventuring, the desert (and our favorite locals) has you covered. Once your reservation is confirmed, let us know you are interested and we will connect you!
Guest Access:
The property and house is yours to roam and relax.
Getting Around:
We recommend traveling by car to explore Joshua Tree for maximum flexibility, as ride sharing services are unreliable. If you prefer not to drive, the local taxi service Lucky 777 is a dependable option. Our property offers free parking for up to four vehicles to ensure your car is kept secure during your stay.
Other Things to Note:
3:00PM Check-In: We'd love for you to check in before 8pm so you have plenty of daylight to settle in and get comfortable before dark.
Location: This house is an ADU on our personal property with its own space and land. It is a studio (bedroom without walls or doors) and the house has its own driveway for privacy.
HVAC: Central heating and air conditioning are provided throughout the home to keep guests comfortable in every season.
Daylight: The house has skylights that do not have any coverings. That means that when the sun rises, it can be bright in the house. We do have blackout blinds that cover the entire length of the glass wall for privacy.
No Pets: This property does not allow any pets. Any evidence of an undisclosed pet will result in a $750 deep cleaning fee. Please note that documented service dogs are exempt from this policy.
Guest Policy: We only allow the number of guests listed as the maximum occupancy for this property, so any additional day guests must be requested and approved in advance. No extra overnight guests are permitted beyond those included in your reservation.
Watch your Step: This desert land holds onto bits of its past, so you may spot the occasional rusty object or piece of glass in the yard, please wear shoes anytime you're outside. You'll also be sharing the landscape with local snakes and scorpions. They want nothing to do with you, so if you see one, just back away calmly and quietly
Wood Burning Fires: We do not permit wood-burning fires anywhere on the property at any time, including in fire pits or fireplaces, due to the high risk of wildfire in our area. This policy is strictly enforced for the safety of our guests, neighbors, and the surrounding landscape,.
Desert Critters: Please keep doors closed while entering and exiting, curious critters will let themselves in given the chance. Desert wildlife is part of what makes this area special, expect sightings of jackrabbits, tortoises, roadrunners, quail, and lizards. You may also spot coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, or occasionally a bobcat or mountain lion. Most just want their space, so it's best to give them yours.
Camera/ Decible Monitor: This property has forward-facing exterior security cameras, but there are no cameras anywhere inside the home. We also use noise decibel monitors indoors to help avoid disturbing neighbors. These only measure sound levels and never record audio.
