The Palo Santo | Cowboy Pool, Sauna, Putting Green

Nestled in the peaceful center of Joshua tree, The Palo Santo House offers ultimate relaxation, convenience, and modern amenities. Arrive to the National Park entrance in a quick 8 minute drive, or walk to the eclectic downtown in less than 10! Alternate between days in the refreshing cowboy pool and nights in the rehydrating sauna. The brand new deck and putting green provide plenty of zen outdoor space for all.

- Ditch your alarm clock and rise with the sun while sipping your fresh ground coffee in the front yard lounge, boasting unobstructed views of the eastern horizon. Meditate or sink your toes in the sand knowing you are exactly where you're meant to be.

- Pick up a healthy breakfast at The Dez before exploring the park. After filling your lungs with fresh air, come home to a well deserved dip in your private pool or a nap in one of the three cozy queen beds.

- Knock out some tasks with high-speed internet and a Marshall speaker for your focus playlist.

- Take in the western dusk views from the pair of hanging egg chairs. Joshua Tree’s colorful sunsets are one of a kind!

- Your post-hike evening provides unlimited options: fresh mixed cocktails while barbecuing, a golf putt tournament between friends, card games in the shady breezeway featuring a mural of Arch Rock , fire pit s’mores under string lights, or star gazing on the deck.

- During your stay you can take a walk up the road to Joshua Tree Coffee Roasters, Natural Sister’s Cafe, Joshua Tree Saloon, Country Kitchen, and many unique shops to explore.

Yucca Valley is an easy 8 minutes down the road where you’ll find a Walmart, additional restaurants, and shopping. North of Yucca, you can explore Pioneertown and visit our favorite bar, Red Dog Saloon, or the Induction for a sound bath. Twenty Nine Palms and Palm Springs are less than an hour away for a lovely date night or additional exploring.

Enjoy a healthy lifestyle with modern amenities. Comfort and relaxation for all, with space for endless fun and activities. Come see for yourself!

A perfect high desert oasis

A bright, warm, and comfortable home, brautifully decorated, fully equipped, and ideally located for exploring Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, and more. The hosts are thoughtful and attentive, and the vibe is relaxing: southwestern with a modern flair. A great spot.

Great Place near Joshua Tree

We had a wonderful stay here for our trip to Joshua Tree. The location is great with close proximity to restaurants/stores and the entrance to the park. Lots of little things that make this place unique. Really enjoyed sitting outside with the fire on and looking at all the stars. Would highly recommend to others!

Fantastic stay

My friends and I stayed for the weekend and really enjoyed all that the property offers! The soaking pool was cold and refreshing, the beds were comfortable, everything was very clean, and the property was close to everything in Joshua tree. The hosts were very responsive when I had a question. I would highly recommend staying here and will definitely be returning whenever I come to Joshua tree again!

Happy guests at the palo santo house

Really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful living space with fireplace. Property managers are very attentive. They came by to ensure the pool was cleaned during our stay as well. The sauna was a nice touch. The beds were a bit rough with the springs, but was good enough for our short stay. Deff recommended this nice spot for its pricing

Short getaway

This property was amazing to stay at for a short weekend trip! The amenities were perfect, it was very spacious, beautiful scenery, and an overall easy check-in and check-out process. We would definitely come stay here again and probably bring more people with us because while it was just the two of us, it could have easily slept six people.

Super cute property!

This is a great house for indoor/outdoor living. Hosts were very communicative. Easy check in and out and nice and clean, with the lights on for our late arrival. Close to the park and downtown Joshua Tree. If it were a teeny bit warmer during our visit we would have enjoyed the back yard. Loved the breezeway and hanging chairs. Wonderful stay!

Even Better than the Pictures

We absolutely loved this house! It was cozy and comfortable, with everything we needed for making meals and keeping ourselves entertained when we weren’t in the Park. Mattresses are very firm, so bring extra padding if that’s not your thing. The hosts were great communicators, with a helpful welcome guide. WiFi was great too!

Property was super clean, inviting, loved the bottle of champagne and snacks waiting for us on arrival. The property has everything you’d need!! It was our first time in the area, very good location, close to downtown and entrance to the National park. Would definitely recommend this tranquil house. Hosts were very communicative throughout the stay. If you’re thinking about a trip to Joshua Tree, hit this place up!!

Great Stay in Joshua Tree

Thank you for allowing us to stay at this beautiful property. Our stay was a working holiday where we worked during the day then explored the park in the afternoon. The WiFi was fast and the location to the small town of Joshua Tree and the park were ideal. We used many of the hosts recommended restaurants and bars and really liked them all. The house is beautifully decorated and the kitchen had almost everything we needed. I’d stay again! Plus looking forward to a stay with warmer weather to enjoy more of the outside amenities.

The Palo Santo house was wonderful! You can stargaze in the front or backyard at night, warm up in the sauna, and the entrance to the park is just a few minutes down the road. We loved the area - it is very safe and friendly. There is a camera at the front gate for added security, and the amenities inside are all updated and beautiful! We especially loved the modern design shower. Air conditioning in each room works really well, so escaping the heat in warmer months is no problem. The cowboy pool is refreshing and perfect for dipping in during the daytime. There are shops and convenience stores close by, and the house has everything you could need. All 3 bedrooms have soft bedding, clean atmosphere and their own climate control. Lucas and Jen are amazing hosts and make themselves available incase any questions arise. THANK YOU!! We can’t wait to stay here again!

Mind blowing!

We needed a quick retreat to relax and unwind from a stressful competition. The house looks perfect, we book and arrive. We show up and the house is nothing close to the pictures it’s WAY BETTER. The amazing minimalist style makes it easier to unwind and enjoy the small things. The small touches this house uses only enhances it’s beauty. It’s not too far away from grocery stores and really close to some sight seeing and specialty shops. The cowboy tub in the back was the highlight very clean and perfect temperature in the 100 degree weather. The putting area and cornhole kept my kids happy and for me the sauna and a quick dumbbell workout circuit is just what I needed to get me back to my happy place. The owners are amazing and have a detailed guide on how to best enjoy the area. If I could I would leave more stars amazing people and an amazing location. We will be back before we know it

The property was safe, clean and as described. The design was cute and very Joshua Tree so we were happy with that. However due to the colder weather we experienced the property was quite cold. It was hard to be warm in the kitchen area or in the bathroom since there was no heater nearby so that was quite uncomfortable. The "bonus room" was beyond freezing upon arrival and smelled very odd. We didn't even use that room as the only bathroom as in the main house. The other disappointing aspect were the bedrooms. The one by the bathroom especially had the worst mattress we've ever experienced in that we could feel the springs beneath us. We hardly slept due to that and also note neither of the bedrooms has actual curtains. It's a sheer sheet hardly covering the windows but no curtain or blinds. Not chance of sleeping in so we were up by 6am each day. Everything else was fine so if you bring a sleep mask and don't mind that one bed, it's sufficient. It was unreasonably cold that weekend but still the desert does get cold at night and for the bathroom to be that ice cold, it was so uncomfortable. The hosts were very responsive so that was nice and very much appreciated. I think this is a great home for one couple or maybe 2-3 friends but it is a small home. It is walkable to town where there are a few restaurants, shops and coffee shops.

Quick Getaway

We took a short trip to do some biking and hiking in Joshua Tree while on vacation in Palm Desert. The home is nicely decorated, has a sauna and cowboy pool, and is close to the park entrance. These happened to be all the things we were looking for in a rental. The owners communicated well and were quick to answer questions. It was nice to be able to spend time in the park and then be back so quickly to a “home base” to cook a meal and enjoy the sauna at the end of the day.
