We always dreamed of owning a vacation home, and when we finally had the time and money to do it, we chose Joshua Tree. We love rock climbing and we are always happier after a visit to the National Park. We looked all over the High Desert because we wanted a true escape from the city, a place to relax and rejuvenate. The first time we saw this house, we had a good feeling & immediately felt the desert vibe. The views sold us and the potential to make this into a fun, family vacation home unfolded. We came regularly to fix it up and add all the things we have enjoyed at other Airbnb’s. No expense was spared making this house as comfortable as possible. We did our best to think of everything you’ll need. Please save our house as a favorite on Airbnb, as we plan to add a pool & detached game room / movie theater next year! We hope Desert Heart will be a family favorite destination for Joshua Tree National Park! Be cool please. 💕

Everything was perfect for our 5 day stay. We had our son and daughter in law and two teenage girls with us. All had a great time and the property was equipped to keep everyone entertained. The pool, hot tub, firepit and game room were all utilized!The interior space was lovely and clean and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Thank you!
Great spot close to the park and town if you want to get something out to eat (Sky High Pizza is great!). The pool, hot tub, dome lounge and game room garage make for fun entertaining. My kids loved that the house was stocked with lots of games. Beds were super comfortable and kitchen was well stocked for cooking at the house. The owners are super responsive and helped me trouble shoot our hot tub difficulties right away. And the firepit makes for a perfect s’more spot. Overall great place for a family to stay
The home was just as described. And it was so well stocked! The layout of this home is really nice, easy for us to all be together. My Grandson had fun with the pool table. We enjoyed the hot tub and made smores on the outside fireplace. Centrally located to everything in Joshua Tree. Many good restaurants there. We also enjoyed hiking the park. Owners were very helpful and responsive.
