Summary:
Boulders tumble all around Bolder House, in a private, boulder-filled corner of Joshua Tree 2 minutes from the village and 5 from the park's West Entrance. Spend the afternoon on the Cabo deck of the saltwater pool, half in the water and half in the sun. When the light fades, you light one of three propane fire pits, slip into the built-in hot tub and watch the stars over the rocks from this design-led home, two bedrooms plus a detached casita with the primary suite.
The Space:
Bolder House sits in a private, boulder-filled setting just outside Joshua Tree Village, designed by Wolfgang and Connie Pichler. Outside, a saltwater pool with a Cabo deck, a built-in hot tub, three propane fire pits and generous seating make the most of the rocks and views. Two bedrooms in the main house and a primary suite in a detached casita work well for couples traveling together or a small family who want to be minutes from the park.
