Good to know

The house offers endless views from the double glass doors in the living room with a panorama of jutting hills in the national park. The master bedroom, boasting a king-size bed, lets you witness both sunrise and sunset from its vantage points – a true retreat. Experience luxury in this modern master bathroom, featuring a deep soaking tub and a refreshing rain shower. The spacious great room is the perfect spot for cooking, dining, and entertaining, equipped with an HDTV, DVDs, board games, puzzles, and cards. (A blow up queen-size mattress adds flexibility for extra guests.) The kitchen is fully equipped which invites your culinary creativity. Soft bedding and plush towels are provided for your convenience. Step out to the covered outdoor patio with a BBQ and dining area – perfect for enjoying crisp evening desert air. The hot tub is such a pleasure either day or night, though star gazing here is my favorite. As you revel in your desert escape, please honor the neighbors, respecting the tranquility of this community.

Other Details to Note

Escape to desert living in this comfortably cozy home, where you can experience the unique charm of the desert environment. While the home provides comfort, remember you're in the desert – expect bugs, and temperatures can be extreme. The location means only satellite WiFi is available, so plan accordingly. Respect the tranquility of the neighborhood, as the residents of Joshua Tree open their homes to thousands of visitors seeking the beauty of the park and clean desert air. Keep in mind, noise travels easily in the desert, and your neighbors can hear you. Note that the cooling unit is an evaporative cooler rather than central air, ensuring a refreshing desert breeze. Also, I prioritize fair wages for my cleaners, and the cleaning fee you pay is just a portion – let's support living wages together! Sahara Madre is located just behind the Noah Purifory Outdoor Art Museum. The sculptures of this 10 acre museum can be seen from the living room. This neighborhood is one of my favorites. Each surrounding property is unique and artistic.

Had a great time out enjoying the stars in the desert. Loved everything! Especially the hot tub! Just wish the A/C vent wasn’t blowing right on top of the couch area. But otherwise absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for hosting us!

The home was clean and quiet. The air conditioning worked very well in the desert heat. This is a great place to stay if you have dogs, as the property is fully fenced in. The host was very helpful with finding the location and checking in.

This was a perfect getaway. I wanted a place to read, write, create, relax, sit in silence and enjoy. 🍽 Cooked everymeal x 3 nights. Great kitchen. 🌵Secluded desert property. 🪟 Big window views of mountains. ☀️ Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. 🪑 Outdoor patios, seating and privacy. ✨️ Hottub with night sky view. 🛀 Great soaking tub with skylight. 🧹 Clean, comfy. Had everything we needed. 🐇 Saw roadrunners, bunnies, chipmunks. 🐕 Fully fenced and safe yard for my lil dog. 🚶‍♂️Nice walking trails. Felt safe. 🥸 No upclose neighbors. Off the beaten path. 🏜 Loved the Noah Purifoy outdoor art sculptures. Definitely a wonderful home.

This place was absolutely perfect for two! The location is great for Joshua Tree National Park and the surrounding attractions. It is close enough to the highway that you can easily hop-on and go, yet secluded enough that you feel relaxed and ease. I would absolutely stay here again!

This is an amazing place to escape the city and enjoy the sights and sounds of the desert and the night sky. We had a great time. The place was super cute and super clean and not too far from downtown Joshua Tree or the park. We highly recommend. Thanks for a great weekend.

I had no idea what to expect with this Joshua Tree area. While Sati’s place was comfortable and clean, it was the surroundings that made it memorable. An early evening walk to the Outdoor Art Museum was an unexpected treat and the hot tub was a great way to end the evening.

We had a great weekend at Sati’s place, was just what we wanted for a getaway to Joshua Tree. Cute, roomy house, great surroundings and the hot tub after long day of exploring was perfect. Sati was super responsive and very helpful. Highly recommended!

A great weekend getaway that was just as described. Very quiet and a great spot to stargaze and enjoy the natural surroundings. Our Dorky Bella loved the fenced in yard and had plenty of room to explore. Very responsive host and the home is beautifully laid out with a kitchen that has everything. We will definitely return. We spent time in Joshua Tree Park, Yucca Valley and Pioneer Town which are all close buy. Highly recommend this home! Don't miss brunch at La Copine on the way out of town. It was amazing!

We loved Stargaze! It was such a peaceful retreat with a perfect yard for our pup. Location is close to everything you want to experience in Joshua Tree. Highly recommend waking up early to watch the sunrise. Absolutely gorgeous views from the property. Can’t wait to go back.
