About this property
Rustic Modern Desert Retreat, Gateway to Joshua Tree
Your Private Desert Sanctuary Above Palm Springs
Escape to La Choza, a stunning desert modern retreat perched on 2 private acres in the hills above Palm Springs. This thoughtfully designed seasonal rental seamlessly blends rustic charm with contemporary luxury, offering an unparalleled desert experience just 10 minutes from downtown Palm Springs.
The Experience
Wake each morning to breathtaking sunrises painting the Chocolate Mountains in golden hues. Spend your days exploring nearby Joshua Tree National Park or the vibrant town of Palm Springs. As evening falls, slip into the spa hot tub and watch the desert cities sparkle like scattered diamonds below while the iconic Palm Springs glows below the dramatic backdrop of Mt. San Jacinto.
Your Desert Home
La Choza features two comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms, completely furnished and ready for your extended stay. The fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher makes entertaining effortless, while modern amenities like high-speed Starlink WiFi and in-unit laundry ensure you have everything needed for comfortable desert living.
The Setting
Positioned perfectly as your gateway to Joshua Tree, La Choza offers commanding 360-degree views that stretch from the Salton Sea corridor to the east, across the desert cities skyline, north to the Chocolate Mountains, and west to the majestic San Jacinto range. This elevated perch provides complete privacy while keeping you just 10 minutes from Palm Springs' world-class dining, shopping, and nightlife.
While the desert hills can experience occasional winds, La Choza is uniquely sheltered—nestled behind a natural rock entrance that creates a protected microclimate where you'll enjoy peaceful, calm conditions even when breezes stir the surrounding desert.
Seasonal Living at Its Finest
Available October through April, La Choza is designed for those seeking an extended desert escape. Whether you're a snowbird fleeing winter's chill, a remote worker craving inspiration, or simply someone who understands that the desert's magic is best experienced over months rather than days, this is your sanctuary.
All utilities included. Pets welcome. Turnkey furnished with linens and essentials provided.

About the host
Your host

La Choza is owned and lovingly maintained by a local desert builder who has created this retreat as a passion project. The owner maintains a separate unit on the property and may be present approximately three weekdays, for property maintenance and improvements. This ensures La Choza is always in pristine condition while respecting your privacy and peaceful enjoyment of the space. When on-site, your host is available to answer questions about the area, recommend local gems, or assist with any needs—but always discreetly and by invitation only.
