Wanderlust Joshua Tree is a private 5-acre desert retreat near Joshua Tree National Park—made for stargazing, soaking, and slowing down. Relax in outdoor soaking tubs, gather around the fire pit, and take in wide-open desert views beneath some of the darkest skies in Southern California, perfect for Milky Way nights. Inside, enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, cozy bedrooms, and thoughtfully designed spaces for rest and connection.
Your privacy is always respected at Wanderlust, but we’re just a message away if you need anything during your stay. Please reach out through the booking platform and we’ll respond promptly with support or local recommendations. For your peace of mind, emergency contact numbers are posted near the laundry closet should you ever need them.
Wonder Valley is a unique desert community located just outside of Twentynine Palms. The area’s history dates back to the early 20th century, when homesteading was encouraged and small cabins were built across the open landscape. Many of these original structures still stand today, offering a glimpse into the rugged pioneer spirit of the past. Over time, some have been restored and repurposed, adding historical charm to the valley.
With 360-degree mountain views and wide-open desert skies, the neighborhood is peaceful, scenic, and ideal for stargazing. It’s a beautiful place to slow down, connect with nature, and experience the magic of the Mojave Desert.
Guest Access
Guests enjoy full, private access to the entire home, including three comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, spacious dining areas, and inviting living spaces. Step outside to five acres of desert beauty with a smokeless firepit, lounge seating, outdoor dining, and seasonal soaking tubs for sun-soaked afternoons or starlit evenings. The laundry closet is also available for your convenience.
Locked Areas
For storage and upkeep, a few areas are reserved for owner use, including the outdoor shed and a closet in the primary bedroom. These spaces will remain locked during your stay — thank you for respecting them so we can keep Wanderlust beautifully stocked and ready for every guest.
