About this property

Hi Desert Yucca Valley Retreat | Pool, Hot Tub, Fire Pit Near Joshua Tree

The Luxe Hi Desert is a striking mid-century modern retreat in Yucca Valley, CA, minutes from the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park. Wide sliders open the living room straight onto the back patio, where hammocks sway, a cowboy pool cools the afternoon and Joshua trees frame the view in every direction.

INDOOR-OUTDOOR LIVING
The living room is built for it - oversized sliders draw the desert in and a large-screen TV keeps evenings easy. Step outside for a game of bocce or chess, or head to the game room for billiards and table tennis.

THE LOCATION
Black Rock Canyon Campground is a few minutes away, with hiking trails open to the public and separate from Joshua Tree National Park itself. The park's west entrance is under 15 minutes by car, opening onto rock climbing and the Joshua tree-studded landscape the park is known for. Restaurants and shops line Twentynine Palms Highway, five minutes from the door.

KITCHEN & DINING
Cook in a fully equipped kitchen stocked with a spice collection or grill on the Weber gas grill outside. An indoor dining table and an outdoor table both seat the group, whichever the evening calls for.

EVENINGS OUTSIDE
As the sky fills with stars, settle into the hot tub before turning in for the night.

SLEEPING
Two king beds anchor the master and guest bedrooms. The master suite adds an office nook, an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in closet with its own TV, weights and a yoga mat. Every bedroom has a large-screen TV, with Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ included.

Permit: STVR 52-21. A signed rental agreement is required to confirm booking.

The host was very welcoming and helpful! The house was as described, clean, and well supplied. The wifi speed was sufficient and entertainment in the house was plentiful. We initially did have some security concerns due to the front door handles being loose, but it wasn’t anything serious and overall we had a great time. I’d have no problem recommending this house in the future!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for sharing such positive feedback. We truly appreciate your kind words about the home being clean and comfortable, as well as the reliable Wi-Fi and plentiful entertainment options. It’s always great to hear that guests felt welcomed and had an enjoyable stay from start to finish. Regarding the door, we did want to note that after inspection there were no issues found with the door handles, and the front door is equipped with a secure deadbolt to ensure the safety and peace of mind of our guests. We were not informed of your concerns and would have been more than happy to address any questions. Guest comfort and security are always a top priority for us. Thank you again for staying with us and for recommending our home. We’d be delighted to host you again in the future.

Perfect place to come back to after a long day at the park

This property was outstanding. It was a short drive to the park and a pleasure to come back to you every night after a full day of hiking. The hot tub worked great, the beds were very comfortable and the game room was a lot of fun. I would highly recommend if you want a great and easy experience while visiting Joshua Tree to stay here.

Convenient Joshua Tree stay

Property was better than advertised and had plenty of space for 2 couples(+1 infant) to spread out. We really enjoyed being close to Joshua Tree and restaurants/groceries. Hot tub was very relaxing after a long day of hiking. House was in great shape and even had little touches like extra remote batteries that so many other locations don't. Would 100% stay here again or recommend the property to anyone looking to visit Joshua Tree National Park.

This property was immaculate and extremely well-maintained. The home was modern and stylish. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and the backyard area. Samantha was very generous and responsive and made the process easy and non-stressful. The location was super convenient to the national park and shopping area. We would definitely come back next time we go to Joshua Tree!

Great Home!

Spacious Joshua Tree getaway

My family of 3 needed a place to stay, close to the Black Rock Canyon Campground where I was working, that would be clean and comfortable. We were very pleasantly surprised by the large rooms (and huge closet!). The large kitchen was easy to cook in and the large bedrooms let us spread out after a long day at the park. Everything was clean and as advertised, and we especially enjoyed the pool table and table tennis games in the garage. The bed was extremely comfortable and welcoming after all the hiking. We would certainly stay here again.

The game room was a plus

The rooms were clean upon arrival, and the jacuzzi was bubbling and ready to go. There were ample towels except in the kitchen, where there was only one. Coffee was provided...thank you! The games and game rooms were great. The location was really close to the park. We brought our dog and it was nice that the backyard was gated. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash was provided. We had a great time here and would come back again. Thank you!

A Gorgeous Night w/the Stars

We were so excited when we found out there was a rental property in the neighborhood I grew up in. We wanted to surprise my Mom for Mother's Day and she was! It was so nice to be able to walk to and from their house, visit with family all while having our own time in the rental away from the chaos of family lol. Every night we'd sit out back and just stare at the sky. The stars are the #1 thing I miss about Yucca Valley. The house itself was very clean, beautiful and had tons of amenities. We had daily pingpong battles. The property manager was the MOST responsive pm I have ever dealt with. I look forward to staying there again and again. Thank you!

Comfortable stay while visiting Joshua Tree with kids. Nice games in the garage. The patio was nice, but the furniture was a little worn. The hammock broke the first day and the hot tub is a little old. But it worked and was nice after hiking. The living room could have more seating for the size. Overall it was a nice stay.

About the host

Hosted by Samantha

Host profile image
Our family loves to travel and explore, whether it be locally or internationally. We discovered Joshua Tree National Park on one of our first RV trips and fell in love with the beautiful desert landscape immediately.

Why they chose this property

We love the fact that we are close to both Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree National Park and the restaurants and conveniences that both towns have to offer. This was our first vacation home and we love enjoying the outdoors from our own spacious backyard, playing outdoor games, or swinging on the hammock but especially gazing at the stars over the firepit or from the hot tub.
