The Land In The Sky Retreat
Two homes on 5 beautiful acres at the edge of the earth. Indoor and outdoor spaces designed for gathering, feasting and creating. Enjoy a grand piano, classic vinyl and an oversized bathtub. Then venture outside to explore the hot tub, hammock, stone labyrinth, BBQ and fire pit in a vast, stunning environment.
The two beautiful homes have 6 bedrooms spaced out across big open floor plans that match the expanse of the surrounding Mojave Desert.
The main "living" spaces are designed to be cleared out and repurposed for workshops, retreats, meditations and creative projects.
The bedrooms and living spaces are filled with windows that let natural light and beauty pour in during bright sunny days. At night a million stars fill the sky and paint the milky way like a water color against the great dark expanse.
The main house has a kitchen that is properly outfitted for cooking and feasting. The giant dining table, built from a retired bowling lane, easily sits 16. A gas range is accompanied by quality knives, pots, pans, crock pot, blender and all the right tools to cook and share big family style meals.
A grand piano holds court in the living room alongside a sound system with built in speakers and a quality collection of old and new vinyl. An oversized bath tub sits perched on a cedar pedestal in the master bedroom looking out across an endless landscape.
The second home boasts two more small bedrooms, another master and a second bathroom with a gorgeous marble shower. Giant windows present unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains from every bed. With french doors opening to patios facing both north and south, the main space becomes a literal portal to the outside.
Established trees create shade and privacy and an abundance of birds. Covered patios, lots of outside furniture and tables offer places to rest, watch and connect. A stone labyrinth provides ritual for quiet contemplation. Soaking in the hot tub on a cool winter night is the perfect end to every day.
These homes were designed with family, community and gathering in mind. They are beautiful structures in an immense and stunning landscape that we are so happy to share with you.
You have access to the entire fenced 5 acre lot and both homes. There is only 1 neighbor nearby. You have both houses, the hot tub, wifi and kitchen.
You will have the place to yourself. We will send you everything you need digitally to check in, enjoy and check yourself out.
Most of our neighbors are plants and animals. There is one house nearby though it is mostly out of view. We are located 20 minutes from either park entrance. This peaceful oasis rests in a seemingly endless landscape and offers truly incredible views of the mountains and desert.
One of the great things about this house is it’s quiet secluded location. It also means getting here is a bit of a journey. The house is located between the towns of Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms about 8 miles north of Hwy 62. The last 1.7 miles are dirt but you will not need a 4 wheel drive vehicle.
The villa is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Private, cozy and supremely relaxing
Our stay was great and the process of getting in and getting out couldn’t be easier. We loved how spacious the houses and property was and we really loved the sense of isolation it came with. Plenty of opportunity for fireside chats and stargazing, would happily stay again!

Peaceful Getaway
A group of nine friends gathered for a meditative communion in the desert. The houses were lovely and open, and the property was quiet and spacious. Beautiful views. We especially enjoyed the labyrinth, outdoor fire pit, jacuzzi under the stars, giant kitchen table, piano...! A truly fantastic rental!

Perfect getaway
This property is exactly what you would expect from the listing. It’s a really nice secluded desert property with gorgeous views and super comfy spaces. The hot tub was amazing and the rooms were fully accommodating for my friends and I. We had some issues with internet and various small appliance use, but the host was super on top of responses and was able to help us with everything. Could not have asked for a better weekend :)

Great place for a family getaway
Our families had a great stay! The 2 houses are super nice and open. One of my favorite things was the little deck- it was a great spot to sky watch. Would definitely stay again
