The Lazy River House - Joshua Tree Resort

Welcome to The Joshua Tree Resort (aka “The Lazy River House”), an exclusive retreat that combines the serenity of nature with the indulgence of a private amenity-filled resort. Nestled in the heart of Joshua Tree, this four-bedroom residence stands apart as one of the only homes in the high desert with its own private lazy river - a fluid centerpiece designed for total relaxation. The property offers panoramic mountain views, a complete wellness circuit, and immersive indoor-outdoor living.

Flowing seamlessly through the home's architecture, 20-foot fold-away glass doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out. Mornings begin with sunlight pouring into the open-concept great room, where desert-inspired interiors meet modern comfort. The chef's kitchen is appointed with professional Thor appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a refined espresso bar for slow mornings or group entertaining.

Outside, the property unfolds into a series of private experiences. Drift through the lazy river, relax in the hot tub, or complete the rejuvenating cycle of sauna and cold plunge. A yoga deck and zen garden offer space for quiet reflection, while multiple fire pits and lounge areas invite long evenings beneath a canopy of stars. For playful moments, the garage game room includes a pool table, darts, arcade games, and an 86” Smart TV, while the three-hole putting green and outdoor theater create effortless spaces for gathering and fun.

Each of the four bedrooms has been designed with a sense of minimal luxury - clean lines, soft textures, and restful tones inspired by the desert landscape. The primary suite features a king bed and ensuite bath, while three additional bedrooms with queen beds provide comfort and privacy for families or groups.

Camera Disclosure:
For the safety and security of our guests and the home, this property is equipped with 16 exterior security cameras. These cameras monitor only outdoor areas such as entrances and common exterior spaces. There are absolutely no cameras or recording devices inside the home, ensuring complete guest privacy indoors at all times.

This place was amazing! It had everything you can possibly need! It had a game room with pool table with arcade games ,yoga area,cold plunge, sauna, lazy river with a pool in the middle and a spa. The place had stocked coffee with things to put in the coffee . There was so much detail and thought put into the house. We will definitely be going back! We created some great memories there.
