Mandarin Escape · Rooftop Deck, Hot Tub, Views

Summary:

Sunrise at Mandarin Escape is best watched from the large raised deck, high in Yucca Valley's quiet Western Hills Estates, 10 minutes from downtown Joshua Tree and 15 from Pappy and Harriet's. Grill lunch, sink into the hot tub tucked into the boulders, and gather around the fire pit at sundown, with two seasonal cowboy tubs for warm days, unavailable November through March. Inside this 2,000 sq ft home, sunset colors, a record player, two themed bedrooms and a secret jungle cubby keep it fun.
