My friend and I rented this property for a 2 night stay in Joshua Tree and really loved the house. From the beautiful garden with the sauna, cold plunger, cowboy pool and hot tub to the charmingly decorated home, I would recommend this property to anyone seeking a cozy and comfy base for exploring Joshua Tree. The kitchen also had all the things you might need, including multiple ways to make coffee! We really enjoyed the home.

Everything was beautiful and as described. The space is very open, quiet, and relaxing. A perfect weekend respite spot to relax in the cowboy pool, sauna, and cold plunge. (We didn’t use the hot tub). The place is fully fenced for dogs to enjoy. Communication was great aside from an email issue with VRBO but Patricia was quick to respond. Would definitely recommend this place!

There are no words to describe how fantastic & peaceful our stay was at Casa Coyote! The attention to detail was not ignored, so many spots to take gorgeous photos. We never had to leave as everything you need is right there on the property. We absolutely loved the sauna, massage table, seating options, & gorgeous kitchen. Starting our day off with yoga in front of the big mirror & ending our day cozy in bed looking at the stars will be a core memory for years to come. We are so thankful for the opportunity!

Beautiful property with great amenities, ambience, and views. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing and stargazing at night. The bed was extremely comfortable. I only wish that the record player worked. Was looking forward to listening to some of the albums in the home. I would definitely stay at this property again!PS: Patricia is so responsive and helpful and the eggs from her hens are exquisite! Do buy some if you have the opportunity.

Dawn, thank you so much for the 10/10 review and for sharing such thoughtful details about your stay at Casa Coyote. We’re thrilled you enjoyed the amenities, ambience, beautiful views, and especially those relaxing hot tub evenings spent stargazing. We also love hearing that the bed was exceptionally comfortable and that the fresh eggs added a special touch to your stay. We’re sorry you missed out on enjoying the record player. We wish you had reached out during your stay so that we could have assisted you with how to operate the record player. Thank you again for staying with us and for your kind words about communication—we’d love to welcome you back for another desert escape anytime.

About the host

Hosted by Melissa Alcantara

Host profile image
I’m Melissa, though many know me as @fitgurlmel. I live in Los Angeles, where I work as a personal trainer, athlete, and fitness coach. My journey started when I lost 40 pounds in 60 days, which led me to bodybuilding competitions and eventually a career helping others find strength and balance. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of training amazing clients, including Kim Kardashian, and sharing real, no-nonsense fitness advice in outlets like Women’s Health, Cosmopolitan, and Vogue.

Health and wellness are not just my career — they’re my lifestyle. That’s why I created Casa Coyote. I wanted a place where people could step away from the busyness of life, breathe in the desert air, and reconnect with themselves. The sauna, cold plunge, and hot tub aren’t just amenities — they’re part of a philosophy of recharging body and mind.

As a host, I love being able to share this retreat with others. My hope is that when you leave Casa Coyote, you feel lighter, clearer, and more energized than when you arrived.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it truly captures what we love most about the desert. Casa Coyote is tucked away in the Joshua Cove area, a quiet pocket that feels private and restorative, yet it’s only minutes from downtown Joshua Tree and the National Park entrance. From the property, you get sweeping views of the park and the surrounding desert — the kind of views that stop you in your tracks at sunrise and make stargazing unforgettable at night.

What we enjoy most is the balance. Being “in the cove” means we’re embraced by the natural landscape, surrounded by the natural landscape of the desert, wide skies, and the stillness that invites you to slow down. It’s a place where you can step outside and instantly feel connected to nature, hear the quiet, and see the horizon stretch endlessly. At the same time, the convenience of town is close enough when you want coffee, a good meal, or to explore local shops.

For us, this neighborhood allows both connection and disconnection — connection to the desert and its rhythms, and disconnection from the noise of everyday life. It’s the perfect setting for focusing on personal wellness, recharging, and experiencing the restorative energy that makes Joshua Tree so special.

What makes this property unique

Casa Coyote isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a purposefully designed desert sanctuary created by a professional fitness trainer with a background in celebrity wellness. What makes it stand out is the way it blends the restorative stillness of Joshua Tree with intentional amenities that promote balance, health, and renewal.

Instead of simply offering a hot tub or firepit, Casa Coyote provides a full spectrum of wellness features rarely found in a vacation rental: a dedicated cold plunge tub with a chiller, a 4-person sauna, a hot tub for evening soaks under the stars, and a yoga/fitness setup complete with mats, resistance bands, and a deep muscle massager. Guests often describe it as having their own private spa in the desert.

Every detail has been chosen to support relaxation and well-being. The primary suite opens directly to a private patio for morning meditation, while indoor living areas include a fireplace, a record player with a vinyl collection, and cozy reading nooks that invite guests to slow down. Outdoors, a cactus garden, wood-burning firepit, and raised stock tank pool deck frame sweeping views of Joshua Tree National Park, encouraging guests to connect with nature.

Sustainability is woven into the experience as well, with live plants for cleaner air, food scrap and recycling bins, and eco-conscious design touches that allow travelers to feel aligned with their values. Fully fenced and pet-friendly, Casa Coyote also makes it easy for guests to bring their four-legged companions along on their wellness journey.

In short, Casa Coyote is unique because it’s more than a rental — it’s a restorative retreat. Guests leave not just with desert memories, but with the sense of having truly recharged body, mind, and spirit.
