Moms and dads will love this thoughtfully designed desert escape. The fun-filled backyard features a NEW saltwater pool (optional heating available for a fee), hot tub heated year-round, ping-pong table, and plenty of space for kids to play.
Inside, you`ll find board games, TVs in every room, and two modern bathrooms stocked with Public Goods natural soaps.
The newly remodeled kitchen is both beautiful and functional, fully equipped with non-toxic cookware and seating for 8 indoors and out. Fire up the Weber griddle for outdoor cooking in complete privacy, or sip your morning coffee while listening to desert birds and soaking in the stillness.
Perfect for extended stays and remote work with a dedicated cozy workspace and high-speed WiFi.
We love kids and dogs! The fully fenced backyard and side walking trail make it easy and safe for furry friends to stretch their legs.
EV drivers: Charge your Tesla or other electric vehicle with our Universal Charger in the covered driveway.
Relax in multiple outdoor seating areas with sweeping National Park mountain views and total privacy—yet you`re still close to all Joshua Tree destinations.

We always dreamed of owning a vacation home, and when we finally had the time and money to do it, we chose Joshua Tree. We love rock climbing and we are always happier after a visit to the National Park. We looked all over the High Desert because we wanted a true escape from the city, a place to relax and rejuvenate. The first time we saw this house, we had a good feeling & immediately felt the desert vibe. The views sold us and the potential to make this into a fun, family vacation home unfolded. We came regularly to fix it up and add all the things we have enjoyed at other Airbnb’s. No expense was spared making this house as comfortable as possible. We did our best to think of everything you’ll need. Please save our house as a favorite on Airbnb, as we plan to add a pool & detached game room / movie theater next year! We hope Desert Heart will be a family favorite destination for Joshua Tree National Park! Be cool please. 💕
