Escape to the Desert, Unwind Under the Stars

Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, family retreat, or a friends’ desert escape, La Mirada is designed for relaxation and connection.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn and Paul

Host profile image
We are Lynn and Paul, an artist and a physicist who live mostly in Encinitas, CA. We have come to love Joshua Tree and have a great respect for the desert. We want to share this sentiment and, with that intention, have created this vacation home for you to enjoy. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Recently my sister Sati has started managing the property for us. She shares the same love of Joshua Tree and has a flare for details to keep you informed.

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood and a residential quality yet feels very secluded and private. We chose a paved street, which is rare for the area, but find that it keeps things simple for arrival especially if you haven't been before.

What makes this property unique

The house really feels like a home rather than a hotel. We have added and continue to add touches to bring out its charm. We love that the property actually has a Joshua Tree on it!
