About this property

Minimalist desert retreat

Night Moves is a 4 bed 3 bath house in the desirable Joshua Tree Highlands area with epic 100 mile views. The house sits on an elevated, ecologically diverse 5-acre lot that backs up to boulders and mountains, adjacent to the National Park. The minimal aesthetic and large windows throughout integrate the house into its natural setting, drawing ones attention outside, to the expansive desert landscape and shifting light. The house offers many areas to hang out solo or in a group.

Other things to note

4 Car Maximum - We are trying to preserve and restore the fragile desert landscape at Night Moves which means our driveway space is limited. For this reason guest groups must have a maximum of four (4) vehicles unless prior arrangements are made with us in advance.

The gate on the driveway is sometimes locked when guests arrive. The code for it is in the welcome letter. You are welcome to lock it during your stay or just leave it open.

Additionally we have outdoor security cameras to monitor exterior areas around Night Moves including the driveway, patio and outdoor areas.

Great location, amenities, and host!
The property is in a great semi-secluded location which is perfect if you want to unplug from devices and city-life. You're not too far from town in case you need to pick up anything which is convenient. All listed amenities were in good working condition, and everything was clean and tidy. We didn't have to reach out to the host during our stay to report any issues with the property. The host was very attentive, communicative, and overall great! Patty checked-in on us on our arrival date to ensure that we got in without issues which was very considerate given that finding the property does require driving on unpaved roads for a short stretch. Our group highly recommends Night Moves!

About the host

Hosted by Patty Hume

Host profile image
Night Moves is the creative project of three friends from Los Angeles. We love working on the house and spending quality time together in the desert.

Why they chose this property

Conveniently located between Joshua Tree village (3 miles) and Joshua Tree National Park west gate (4 miles). This is a unique property in Joshua Tree in that it is at a higher elevation than many of the houses in the neighborhood. You can see for 100 miles to the north from the front deck. Our 5 acre lots butts right up against the boulders so you can go for a hike without leaving the property!

What makes this property unique

Seclusion, spectacular views and ability to hike out into desert from the backyard!
