Desert Dusk

Desert Dusk is a private retreat of a scientist and a writer who created a colorful, eclectic, peaceful home where you can forget the stresses of city life. Sitting on 2.5 acres in the highly desirable neighborhood of Joshua Tree Highlands, this home is surrounded by a beautiful garden, breathtaking views of the hills, and plenty of local wildlife. This bright and breezy home is the perfect place to recharge your creative juices, enjoy the hottub, watch the sun go down or look up at the stars.
This colorful & eclectic retreat is the perfect place to relax and recoup. Take in the stunning mountain views and the vast desert floors. It features a king-size bed in the master bedroom, a steam shower and a soaker tub in the master bathroom, a queen-size bed in the second bedroom that is right next to the second bathroom which features a tub/shower combo, a perfectly located hot tub, an amazing outdoor shower, a gas outdoor firepit and an indoor wood burning stove. All rooms have their own private exits to the stunning desert gardens. Very private, but with neighboring houses within sight so that you don't feel dangerously remote. Energy-saving evaporative coolers and gas heating to create a cool oasis when needed and keeps it toasty when there's a nip in the air.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Loved it.

Lovely house with great attention to detail. Kitchen is small but well stocked with everything you need to actually cook. Interesting artwork throughout. Great light, beautiful landscaping and outdoor space. Nice, quiet neighborhood.

Great Getaway

We ended up at Sarah's place after Vrbo cancelled a reservation elsewhere in town. This house is great as a base of operations for JTNP, as well as for a brief retreat with high comfort yet outdoor pleasures. Sarah was quickly responsive to questions. It was an easy good time.

Wonderful location and house!

Great house, comfy bed and plenty of space. About time for an upgrade in the bathroom but other than that everything was excellent.

Joshua Tree Retreat

Loved this place. Beautiful views inside and outside the house, secluded desert location, and nice home layout made this such a relaxing place to getaway. Mountain biked the local trails, enjoyed the sunset dinners, and loved the hot tub under the desert skies. Sarah was very accommodating as a host, and we will be sure to return. Many thanks, Ross

Should be called Desert Dusty.

Location, landscaping and property in general was very good.. Outside very charging, inside highly funtional with good sized rooms and lots of windows, kitchen plenty of utensils, dishes, etc... What was really a dissapointment was how dusty the place was. The blinds, corners of floor, hair, pet dander,ceiling fans all had many layer of built up dust, spider webs and dead bugs. There also looked like there was mold or fungus in the bathrooms in the showers and on the sink tiles. Now I realized these are rentals and not to expect too much (even when the photos look spotless)... but this was on the owner and thier lack of consistent housekeeping. I did mention this to Sarah and did not get a reply other than "its been windy lately" - I do I did not know that wind blower in spider website and hair. Oh and the fire pit didnt work. So if you arent that pick about dust, bugs or spider webs or dont have allergies, then this place is perfect.
