Summary:
At Ishan, the best part of a group getaway might be staying in. This striking modern home in Yucca Valley centers the experience around an open-air courtyard, where hot tub afternoons turn into outdoor dinners and fireside evenings with mountain views. Four ensuite bedrooms, including one in a separate casita, give everyone room to enjoy time together and space to unwind on their own.
The Space:
Bold architecture meets easygoing desert living at Ishan. Crisp white and charcoal walls, high ceilings, and expansive glass doors create a bright, open atmosphere, while warm wood furnishings, rich red accents, and playful artwork bring personality to the modern interiors. The home's thoughtful layout makes gathering feel effortless, whether everyone is cooking together, settling in for a movie, or moving between the indoor living spaces and the courtyard. There's plenty of room to spread out, but the design has a way of bringing everyone back together.

-Outdoor Amenities-
The courtyard is the heart of Ishan, designed for the kind of days when there's no reason to rush anywhere. Stretch out on a lounger beneath a striped umbrella, enjoy a soak in the hot tub, or gather around the outdoor dining table for a leisurely meal with friends.
A covered passage connects the home's outdoor gathering areas, creating a comfortable place to sit around the fire pit as the evening cools. Contemporary concrete finishes and contrasting black-and-white architecture give the space a distinctive look, while the surrounding mountains provide a beautiful desert backdrop.
With a fully fenced yard and several places to lounge, dine, and relax, it's easy for everyone to find their favorite spot without leaving the property.
-Living Area-
Inside, the living room feels as comfortable as it is stylish. Generous cream-colored sofas, rust-red pillows, warm wood accents, and whimsical black-and-white artwork soften the home's clean architectural lines.
The spacious seating area is an inviting place to reconnect after a day exploring Joshua Tree, catch up over drinks, or settle in for a movie on the large smart TV. Natural light fills the room, and the open layout keeps the atmosphere relaxed and welcoming.
-Kitchen and Dining-
The kitchen makes cooking together part of the fun. A dramatic red accent wall, sculptural pendant lights, and a large dark island give the space a bold, contemporary character. Four barstools offer a natural perch for morning coffee, casual breakfasts, or keeping the cook company.
The fully equipped kitchen features a substantial stainless steel range, generous counter space, and the essentials for preparing meals at home. Whether you're making a quick breakfast before heading out or putting together dinner for the whole group, there's room to work comfortably.
For a change of scenery, take your meal outside to the courtyard dining table, where mountain views and fresh desert air make even a simple dinner feel like an occasion.
-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-
Ishan offers four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, making it especially well suited to families, couples traveling together, and groups of friends who appreciate having their own space.
Three bedrooms feature king beds, while the fourth has two single beds. One of the four bedrooms is located in a separate casita, offering additional separation from the main living areas while remaining part of the group's shared experience.
The bedrooms continue the home's contemporary style with comfortable furnishings, warm accents, and a calming atmosphere. With a private bathroom for every bedroom, mornings are easier, and guests can enjoy their own routines without competing for space.
-Garage Game Space-
When it's time for a little friendly competition, head to the garage for a game of pool. It's a fun alternative to another afternoon in the hot tub and an easy way to bring everyone together.
Yoga mats are also available for stretching, a morning practice, or simply taking a little time for yourself before the day's adventures. Whether the group is feeling playful or looking to recharge, this bonus space adds another dimension to the stay.
