Designed for couples, families, and small groups, Wanderlust combines modern comfort with the quiet beauty of Wonder Valley. Relax in outdoor soaking tubs, gather around the fire pit, cook in the fully stocked kitchen, and unwind in thoughtfully designed spaces. On clear nights, step outside to experience some of Southern California's darkest skies and the Milky Way overhead.
We respect your privacy while making sure help is always close by. Self check-in allows you to arrive on your own schedule, and we're available through the booking platform whenever you need recommendations, assistance, or have questions before or during your stay.
Wonder Valley is a unique desert community located just outside of Twentynine Palms. The area’s history dates back to the early 20th century, when homesteading was encouraged and small cabins were built across the open landscape. Many of these original structures still stand today, offering a glimpse into the rugged pioneer spirit of the past. Over time, some have been restored and repurposed, adding historical charm to the valley.
With 360-degree mountain views and wide-open desert skies, the neighborhood is peaceful, scenic, and ideal for stargazing. It’s a beautiful place to slow down, connect with nature, and experience the magic of the Mojave Desert.
Guest Access Guests enjoy full, private access to the entire home, including three comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, spacious dining areas, and inviting living spaces. Step outside to five acres of desert beauty with a smokeless firepit, lounge seating, outdoor dining, and seasonal soaking tubs for sun-soaked afternoons or starlit evenings. The laundry closet is also available for your convenience.
Locked Areas For storage and upkeep, a few areas are reserved for owner use, including the outdoor shed and a closet in the primary bedroom. These spaces will remain locked during your stay — thank you for respecting them so we can keep Wanderlust beautifully stocked and ready for every guest.

This property was truly the entire package! I don’t know where to begin with my review . Extremely thoughtful amenities, beautiful design, great layout and space, beautiful views, comfortable beds, perfect location with privacy, and so much more! I would definitely stay here again.
We absolutely loved our stay at Wanderlust. It was our first time visiting Joshua Tree, and honestly I wish we would have booked one more day! We had two nights at Wanderlust and three days in the park, but it would have been great to add a day and spend some time back at the house enjoying all the amenities. We never had a chance to play the cornhole game, use the telescope to stargaze, or get out and enjoy the fireplace and cozy outdoor furniture.The house itself was absolutely fabulous. Photos are accurate. Our teenage girls were blown away by how beautiful everything was, even the guest bedrooms where they stayed. They loved having their own bathroom. We all loved the homey, cozy brightness, and it was such a treat to stay in a house rather than a hotel during this stretch of our travels. Quiet bedrooms, luxurious bathrooms, laundry, good coffee every morning...it was exactly what we needed after several days of travel.Imelda was lovely-- she was in touch as soon as we texted her, and gave us information on local spots. We used her advice on where to buy groceries, and also on where to eat... Campbell Hill Bakery, Jelly Donut, and Kitchen in the Desert were all top-tier recommendations! Thank you, Imelda!For accessing the park, being closer to the 29 Palms entrance was great. We took the other (busier) entrance one time, because we were closer to that side of the park after the 49 Palms Oasis hike, and we sat in traffic for ages at those park gates.
