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!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fenced private yard.

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.

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!

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

Desert Getaway

We wanted to get away for the weekend and booked last minute. This place was amazing; great location, great food nearby, easy access to Joshua Tree. The bonus room is separate from the house, so 2 bedrooms in the home. We visited in July and we kept cool with the pool, and the air-conditioning. Parking provided is covered, which was great. The critters came to play at night, but bug repellent helped. There are red ants in the sand/dirt part of the backyard, but nothing to obsess over. The view at night is amazing, can definitely see all of the stars. The rooms were relaxing, the beds were soft and comfortable. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend.

Perfect friendly family stay

I booked this place for Mother’s Day weekend for my kids, my partner and myself. It was a perfect place with plenty to do. From the mini putting green, to the cowboy pool and just being able to lounge outside and soak in the sun during the day and star gaze at night, WE HAD A GREAT TIME! Also the sauna was amazing!!! Was able to Bluetooth my phone and listen to music while relaxing in the sauna; much needed for this hard working mom! We will definitely be coming back for future trips to the desert! The host have a very lovely, place decorated to a tee. The swings outside was a favorite of my preteen in her words “it’s giving desert girl aesthetic”. Great location! Close to food, grocery store as well! We can’t wait to book this place again!!!

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!

Great Location and Well Kept Home

Central to Joshua Tree, the house is about 15 minutes from the west entrance to the park and 35 minutes tot he north entrance. The Cowboy tub is a big bonus for the kids (and adults) on the hot days. The property is very private with nice views, and panoramic windows to make early evenings really nice indoors. There are a lot of restaurants close by, but the market is in Yucca about ten minutes from the home. There is no microwave and no toaster, but the kitchen has everything else you will need to feed a family of 4. There are a lot of blankets, pillows and towels. Sauna is good for one person comfortably, and the workout area is comfortable.
