Summary:

Welcome to Hillside Desert House, a serene three bedroom Yucca Valley hideaway ideal for up to six guests. Nestled in a quiet hillside neighborhood, this spacious home balances modern comfort with authentic desert relaxation. Guests enjoy fast Wi-Fi, cozy indoor living spaces, and an expansive outdoor yard equipped with a hot tub, fire pit, and cowboy pool. It serves as the ultimate base for exploring nearby Joshua Tree or unwinding in peace.



The Space:

The home opens into a bright, beautifully organized layout designed for effortless living and group comfort. Each of the three private bedrooms features a plush queen bed, offering a relaxing space to recharge after full days of travel. The primary suite stands out with its exceptionally generous bathroom, complete with a deep soaking tub perfect for long bubble baths. Cooking is a breeze in the fully equipped kitchen, while a dedicated workspace and high speed internet make remote work seamless if duty calls during your stay.



Outside, the backyard transforms into a true private oasis surrounded by scenic hillsides. You can soak in the hot tub under a covered gazebo, cool off during warmer months in the classic cowboy soaking pool, or lay back in swinging hammocks to watch the evening stars. Gather around the propane fire pit when night falls to swap stories, or cook dinner outdoors using the barbecue grill and dining setup. Combining a tranquil neighborhood atmosphere with convenient access to town dining and the national park, this listing provides everything needed for a memorable desert getaway.

LOCAL ADD-ON EXPERIENCES

From sound baths and in-home massages to stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Southern California, we've handpicked local vendors to match whatever mood you're in. Book a personal chef for a lazy night in, saddle up for a horseback ride, or take a guided hike through the National Park or other local trails. However you want to spend your time here, relaxing or adventuring, the desert (and our favorite locals) has you covered. Once your reservation is confirmed, let us know you are interested and we will connect you!



Guest Access:

The property and house is yours to roam and relax.



Getting Around:

We recommend traveling by car to explore Joshua Tree for maximum flexibility, as ride sharing services are unreliable. If you prefer not to drive, the local taxi service Lucky 777 is a dependable option. Our property offers free parking for up to four vehicles to ensure your car is kept secure during your stay.



Other Things to Note:

3:00PM Check-In: We'd love for you to check in before 8pm so you have plenty of daylight to settle in and get comfortable before dark.



HVAC: Central heating and air conditioning are provided throughout the home to keep guests comfortable in every season.



Pets Allowed: We welcome dogs for a fee of $60 per dog, with a maximum of 2 dogs per stay. Please note that no other pets are permitted at this property.



Cowboy Pool: Only available during the May, June, July, August and September.



Guest Policy: We only allow the number of guests listed as the maximum occupancy for this property, so any additional day guests must be requested and approved in advance. No extra overnight guests are permitted beyond those included in your reservation.



Watch your Step: This desert land holds onto bits of its past, so you may spot the occasional rusty object or piece of glass in the yard, please wear shoes anytime you're outside. You'll also be sharing the landscape with local snakes and scorpions. They want nothing to do with you, so if you see one, just back away calmly and quietly



Wood Burning Fires: We do not permit wood-burning fires anywhere on the property at any time, including in fire pits or fireplaces, due to the high risk of wildfire in our area. This policy is strictly enforced for the safety of our guests, neighbors, and the surrounding landscape,.



Desert Critters: Please keep doors closed while entering and exiting, curious critters will let themselves in given the chance. Desert wildlife is part of what makes this area special, expect sightings of jackrabbits, tortoises, roadrunners, quail, and lizards. You may also spot coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, or occasionally a bobcat or mountain lion. Most just want their space, so it's best to give them yours.



Camera/ Decibel Monitor: This property has forward-facing exterior security cameras, but there are no cameras anywhere inside the home. We also use noise decibel monitors indoors to help avoid disturbing neighbors. These only measure sound levels and never record audio.
