Secluded hilltop home with hot tub, cowboy pool, & amazing views

An amazing location near Joshua Tree awaits at Desert Noir! Boasting 2.5 beautiful acres, this charming house hosts views so exceptional that you'll feel like you're already inside the national park. Hike the stunning trails behind the house or drive 16 miles to the Joshua Tree West Entrance. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood with a shared gate, this home offers ultimate privacy and the chance to view a dark sky brimming with shimmering stars. You'll also find your own private well, grid-tied electricity, and high-speed internet service.

Inside, large windows in the living area showcase beautiful views and flood the space with natural light. Unwind on the sofa bed and stream your favorite shows on the Roku TV. Prepare tasty meals in the well-equipped kitchen, detailed with stainless steel appliances. A wood stove with floor-to-ceiling stone surround provides a warm ambience in the dining area. When you're ready to eat, gather around the dining table.

Your outdoor haven offers ample space to relax. Refresh with a dip in the stock tank pool (also known as a cowboy pool). Unwind in the hot tub or gather around the gas firepit to swap stories of your day's adventures. An outdoor shower offers a convenient spot to rinse off after hiking, and a covered wraparound patio provides a shaded spot to kick back with a crisp drink. Also on-site, a cozy caravan creates even more living space with cushioned seating inside, a table for two, and a small deck -- perfect for morning meditations.

Great getaway place! Quiet and peaceful! Exactly what I was looking for! Only thought worth mentioning is the dirt road in has some sandy spots and ruts. Still doable with a 2 wheel drive, but recommend a 4 wheel drive if you have one.

5 Star View

We could sit on this porch and stare at this view forever! We did use the hot tub but honestly just sitting on the porch in the swinging chairs was our favorite. As much as this property earned every bit of the 5 Star rating for us, it is not dog friendly. We love cactus but our dog, not so much and pieces of it are everywhere including the dreaded goat head stickers. We would absolutely come back but without the dog. We found the park and town convenient enough for everything we needed.

Gorgeous setting, super private, cute house

My husband and I were there for a little romantic getaway, and the place was wonderful. House is small but very cozy and (mostly) well appointed. Bed was quite firm, but it didn’t bother us too much. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the peace & quiet, and the stunning views. Our favorite part was the hot tub; used it in the morning to get our day started, and in the evening for some incredible stargazing. It is a huge tub, but the cover is heavy & hard to remove completely, so we only used half. Wish there had been a bench there and/or some hooks to put our robes & towels (easy thing to provide). Speaking of towels… bring your own if you want a decent sized one for the spa (or shower). Also, no kitchen towels to dry the dishes (no dishwasher).All minor things though. The most challenging/frustrating part of our stay was dealing with Vacasa. Lots of automated messages, but contradicting information about check in. There was another issue we needed to communicate with them about and it was very frustrating. Over all poor communication. We will try to avoid properties managed by Vacasa in the future; much easier & nicer to deal with a homeowner or single manager directly.

Beautiful property and views! But...

We'll start with the positives: The house itself and surrounding property were beautiful and as advertised, the space in the house worked perfectly for work/vacation. The road in is certainly off the beaten path, but I knew that beforehand and the views and seclusion were well worth it!The negative: More often than not, there was a foul, stagnant water smell coming from the bathroom. That being said, if that issue was remedied, this house is absolutely perfect for my work and family needs in the future and I would no doubt stay again next year!

Serene and beautiful

We stayed with our dog for 5 nights. The stars were beautiful and the valley had far clear views. Secluded is correct, it was a very private location. The directions were clear to get to, and we arrived at midnight. The code we were given didn’t work but we quickly were able to contact the host and get another. The house was well equipped, there are many places to hang out, outside. The hanging swings, the lawn chairs by the fireplace, the patio, and the trailer with deck was a nice place to go in the afternoon. We didn’t use the cowboy pool because we should have swept out the red dust before we started and decided to stop filling it. The hot tub worked well. The only thing to be cautious of are the many cholla cactus around, the spines stick to your shoes then can track in the house. We got them stuck in our feet before realizing where they came from. Our dog got them in her paw and then her tongue when she tried to remove them. Be careful! The laundry room had a funny odd smell but you only spend a few minutes in there anyway. Kitchen could use more dishrags, mixing bowls, but I cook more than most people. Bed was comfortable, nice long table, comfortable couch. Limited storage for clothes and places to put stuff. Overall a beautiful property and we have lots of great memories. I would go back.

Relaxing Spot

We went up for a short vacation before having to go back to work after the holidays. We had a little trouble getting into the house with the codes and all but everyone was quick to pick up our calls and worked to figure out our issues. The views are beautiful, especially at night. It's quick, remote and just what we wanted. Be sure to read their instructions on how to get there. Your GPS will probably mess up the first time.

A Picturesque Oasis with Room for Improvement

Our stay at Desert Noir was a memorable experience filled with breathtaking beauty and a sense of remote tranquility. Nestled in a picturesque location, the property offers stunning views that make waking up each morning feel like a dream. The house itself exudes a professionally decorated charm, with thoughtful touches that add to its allure. The seclusion of this place is a true gem; you'll feel like you're in your own private paradise. The landscape and surroundings add to the feeling of being somewhere truly special. However, while the property has its high points, it's clear that it's in need of some maintenance. Many of the potted plants were dead, some decorations and outdoor lights were broken, and some amenities required attention. The pool had a leak and was completely drained after a day at the park, the pool filter was out of order. The outdoor shower was also non-functional. We were informed that the hot tub had a leak but after refilling it, it seemed to hold up. One aspect that raised concerns was the outdoor camper, which had "danger" and "keep out" signs on it. Check-In was unclear, the emails say meet face to face, but after four calls to figure out where to go I found out they just call you at check-in time with the lock code In summary, Desert Noir has the potential to be a truly stunning property with a little TLC. While there were some misses during our stay, they were not show stoppers, and we would definitely consider returning for another visit

Peaceful place in Joshua tree

Me and my partner enjoyed our stay at the property. It was secluded and peaceful while being close to Joshua tree national park. The cleanness was a little below our expectations but it is understandable since the house is in rural area and it’s easy to get some dust. Overall we enjoyed our stay over there.

You have to see sunsets from Desert Noir!

Desert Noir is a dream! The house itself is cute and clean and very comfortable. Everything listed in the description was accurate. We truly felt like we were at home here and enjoyed our stay. The best part of our experience was the view! No words or pictures could ever describe the beauty of the area surrounding the house. Sunsets were magical! The house is far enough off the beaten path to enjoy the solitude of nature, yet close enough that getting to town and Joshua Tree National Park were easy. The check in / check out processes were simple and straight forward. I’d highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a cozy desert retreat!
