Spacious, clean, and solid views. Nice location, just a short drive to JTNP. Awesome amenities and absolutely loved the quiet in the evenings while in the hammock or on the swing. Enjoyed the World Series on the 100” screen. Tim was responsive and all instructions were very well communicated. Would recommend!
The view is phenomenal, the home is perfect, the location is convenient, and the hosts super helpful. This home has everything you need to stay and is near the park when you want to go.
My best friend and I stayed in May the house is decorated impeccably and the views are beautiful. Perfect place to unwind and take in the serenity of the desert. We will be back!

Night lights beautiful!!
Home has everything you need .

Gorgeous home with every amenity and super comfortable beds. Beautifully designed with a swell-stocked kitchen. Clean, comfortable, and very zen. Loved the hot tub, the sauna, the movie screen, and the view of sunrise from master bed.
Family Spring Break in the Mojave Desert and Joshua Tree NP
For the last 3 years we've spent spring break at VRBOs outside national parks. This one might be our favorite thus far. The location is easy to get to and has a great town to find food and drink but the views steal the show. Snow capped mountains to the left, desert sunrise to the right, and a view of the town below from the front porch. The rooms and beds were very comfortable and fit the 5 of us very well. The exterior had many fun features that made us wish we scheduled more time during the day to relax and enjoy. Most of our time was spent in Joshua Tree NP which was an easy drive in; We highly recommend this property and hope to visit again in the future.
Spent a week here with a friend. It was cold our entire stay but we were so comfortable at this house - we used the sauna everyday. The views are spectacular. The house is right on the edge of BLM land, so it really feels like you're in the desert. LOTS of birds. Location is ideal because it's about halfway between Palm Springs and Joshua Tree.
The house itself has everything. Excellent, large kitchen and dining area. Working record player. Projector and pull down screen. Fireplace. Comfortable beds. Speedy wifi.
Highly recommend.
Absolutely loved this property! I almost don't want to review it because it's a gem I want to keep secret. The property itself is beautifully and artfully decorated with a full rustic desert vibe. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you may need, we made a fire in the fireplace, and watched the sunset behind the Joshua trees from the hot tub every night-- pure magic! Communication with Timothy was easy and speedy as the hot tub had issues one day, but don't worry we fixed it! Our favorite part aside from having dance parties with the disco ball, was the accessibility to trails right from the driveway. It isn't as grand as the park, but it was SO PERFECT to be able to stroll through the desert at any point without driving anywhere. 100% recommend and will 100% be back, please don't ruin this diamond for me!
This was hands-down the best interior-designed place I've ever stayed at. Beautifully done, no detail overlooked, everything great-looking and also cozy and super usable. We had great communication with the hosts and they were very quickly responsive. Highly recommend this gorgeous place.
My family and I had a great stay at this property. The owners were very thoughtful in their amenities (how nice it was to have laundry detergent and dishwasher soap available). The place was clean and nicely decorated. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the views were beautiful. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to visit Joshua Tree or just relax in the desert.
The house is located with panoramic views of Yucca Valley and way beyond. It‘s spacious, beautifully decorated with love and attention to thoughtful and stylish details. Well equipped kitchen… actually, everything in and around this house simply works well.
Outside you can see passing mountain quails, desert owls, bunnies and the resident jack rabbit that nests just outside the master bedroom window.
Of course the western entrance to Joshua Tree National Park is just 15-20 minutes away. More perfection, so bring hiking boots, lots of water and a camera.
Big thank you to Laura and Tim for letting us stay in their beautiful house, and for responding to all our questions within minutes. We will be back.

Our jaws literally dropped when we entered this property. The interior was stunning and spacious. It was clean with many places to sit and gather. Our favorite feature was the record player with amazing disco, bossa nova and our favorite: Cosmos soundtrack. We enjoyed cooking outside on the grill and even had pizza delivered. It is about 20-30 minute drive to Joshua Tree National Park. We were able to stretch ourselves on the yoga mats before our long day hike. The cowboy tub was warm and refreshing after our dusty adventure in the park. We definitely utilized the outside shower to rinse off. At night, my close friend played guitar and we roasted s'mores by the fire pit while the ladies lounged in the hot tub. After all of the fun activities, we cuddled on the couch and watched some fun alien movies. Would definitely stay again!
We immensely enjoyed everything about this house and its surroundings. It's peaceful and the views are stunning day and night. There's everything you need and more. We will need to return to experience more at the house and in Yucca Valley. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
After the long drive from the Bay Area, the house was an amazing landing pad. The pictures (as great as they are) don’t do justice to how welcoming and thoughtful the house is. The kitchen is well stocked, the house was spotless, the beds comfortable, and the outside space was incredible. From eating on the patio to playing cornhole to soaking in the tub - it was a perfect respite from normal life. My teenage daughters especially loved the dance party (complete with disco ball) we had every night. I especially loved the yoga mats and highly recommend a morning session on the sundeck. We didn’t have any issues, but the communication was great and I knew I would be able to reach someone if we did have a problem. We would definitely come back!
We loved staying at this fantastic getaway in the desert. We loved the design and styling of the house because it felt like our favorite hotel in Palm Springs, so we felt at home right away. Everything from the ease of checking in, to the instructions for all the amenities was so effortless and well thought out, it’s easy to see the hosts take immense pride in the space they’ve created. The bed was super comfortable, the showers had great pressure everything felt so clean and well thought out.
Next time we stay here we will probably bring our own food to cook. We wanted to stay and relax but when we got hungry, leaving to find a restaurant always required a drive into town.
Overall, we loved the vibe and comfort. The sunset views from the patio are incredible and it’s a super quiet neighborhood to enjoy a few days off in.
Even lovelier and larger looking in person than it appears in the photos. The master suite is huge and on the opposite side of the house from the other two bedrooms which makes it perfect for a couple traveling with friends. The house is situated at the edge of open space and at the end of a very quiet street so there was almost no noise. Everything in the house was well cared for. The hosts were very responsive and easy to work with.

About the host
Hosted by Timothy Wheeler
As a documentary filmmaker and travel Physical Therapist Timothy and Lora have been fortunate to travel the world for the last 15 years and collect ideas staying at unique and beautiful vacation rentals. Now we have joined forces as life and creative partners to pursue our longtime dream of being short term rental hosts. We look forward to sharing the beauty and inspiration of our desert wildlife retreat in Yucca Valley with our guests. We now split our time between our live aboard boat in Marina del Rey and the desert amidst adventures to all corners of the globe.
Why they chose this property
After meeting on the dance floor of the Ace Hotel in nearby Palm Springs, we instantly bonded over our love for nature, hiking, and the desert. We fell in love with this property because of its expansive 360 views and unique privacy nestled into the side of a mountain amidst Joshua Tree groves. After a 6-month non-stop renovation, we were able to put our artistic stamp on this home to create our vision of the perfect hosting pad with modern desert artistic flare, spa amenities, fire pit, an updated kitchen fit for holidays, 100" projector, and the ability to enjoy the breath taking views from every room and every bed. We hope you enjoy our high desert home as much as we do!
