About this property
El Coyote - Infinity Pool, Cedar Spa, Fire pit, Wildlife Watering hole, by town
Wild Desert Luxury Meets Wildlife Sanctuary in Joshua Tree
Welcome to your private high-desert retreat — a luxurious sanctuary on over four pristine acres just three minutes from downtown Joshua Tree and the gateway to the National Park. This is more than a vacation rental — it’s an immersive desert experience.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the quiet magic of the Mojave. Step onto the patio and take in panoramic views of open desert and endless sky. Relax in the cedar spa, float in the infinity-edge pool, or rinse off under the scenic outdoor shower as the sunset paints the mountains in gold and rose.
Now featuring our newest addition — a natural wildlife watering hole, visible right from the master bedroom. Watch coyotes, jackrabbits, quail, and even desert tortoises stop by for a drink as the desert comes alive at dawn and dusk. It’s your own private wildlife observatory, all from the comfort of your bed.
As night falls, gather around the stone fire pit or the stargazing circle for an unforgettable view of the Milky Way. Grill dinner under the stars, dine al fresco, and let the vast quiet of Joshua Tree wash over you.
We’ve also created a special fenced area for your pups to roam safely — a cholla-free zone thoughtfully cleared to protect those precious paws.
Designed for serenity, connection, and inspiration, our home offers the best of Joshua Tree — wild nature, luxurious amenities, and that ineffable desert soul.

This was a very peaceful property to stay at. We had a few minor issues- how to work the spa, but very prompt response. Our group of 5 enjoyed the space thoroughly and loved having all the wildlife to watch!
This was our second time staying at the home and we loved it. Great location, spacious and comfortable. Only wish we could have stayed longer. Already looking forward to coming back.
Great location. Inside of house spacious but starting to show some wear and tear along baseboards, cabinets, doors etc. Kitchen appliances new. Really fabulous pool and outdoor seating. Excellent place to see wildlife, magical sunrises and stars.
So relaxing! Beautiful view, stars were stunning! Very close to JT Nat park. Close to shopping and dinning. Communication was excellent!! Will absolutely be back. Thank you Tim and Carissa!
We could not have had a more wonderful time. The house is spacious and beautiful, with stunning amenities in the primary bedroom especially but all around a thoughtfully put-together home with comfort, warmth, and style. For a short-term vacation rental, this was a perfect little retreat and eight stressed-out adults felt very well taken care of by this perfectly quiet relaxing desert home. I hope to come back again if I’m so lucky!
This place is amazing! We had such a great trip. Everything promised was delivered! Perfect location! Close to the park and close to the restaurants/shops. Highly recommend staying here!
Beautiful, clean, spacious and well maintained home! In great location close to National Park and Walmart and other stores to pick up necessities. Also not far of a drive to Palm Springs and Universal for day trips. Very responsive owner and house manager - enjoyed the hot tub, would stay again!
We very much enjoyed the pool and the hot tub and the fire pit. The layout was great for families and we enjoyed the multiple patio French doors that allow us to feel like we were outside in nature.
Great location for three generation get away. Multiple being together locations in and outside and outside in and out of the sun. Private location accessible to JTNP and Yucca Valley shopping.
El Coyote was a perfect high desert getaway. Great location, close to town but still felt remote and pretty private. Beautiful valley and sunset views, can't wait to come back!
Great house. Well stocked - minus a spatula for cookies but we fixed that. Peaceful and close to the west entrance to the park. Can’t recommend it enough.
Great vacation to Joshua Tree. A nice property, pool, hot tub. Good amenities in general. Pool not warm in winter. Hot tub was nice. Convenient to JTNP. Internet speed was slow and no central TV, but overall great for our party of 8.
This house was perfect for us! From the location, to the cleanliness, to the amenities and ease of check in and communication with the manager and owner. It was a smooth transition the whole way. We couldn't be happier!
this is a perfect house for family get away trip. Owner and host are both very responsive and provide excellent instructions for everything. Check in is super easy and kitchen well stock everything that you might need. Pool and Jacuzzi are in perfect condition. Highly recommend !!!

About the host
Hosted by Tim Brinkman
I’ve always been drawn to places that feel a little removed from the everyday, and Joshua Tree is one of those rare spots where you can truly slow down. I spend a lot of time in the desert, whether it’s hiking, exploring, or just sitting outside at night taking in the quiet and the stars. That’s really what inspired this home.
My goal as a host is simple: create a place where people can disconnect, relax, and have a memorable experience without having to think about the details. I’ve put a lot of thought into how the property is set up so it actually works for how people want to spend their time here, whether that’s a quiet weekend, a special trip, or just a reset from a busy schedule.
I’m not a hands-on host during your stay, but my local manager is and I’m always available if you need anything. I want the experience to feel easy, private, and seamless, like it’s your own place in the desert.
At the end of the day, I enjoy hosting because I know how special this setting is, and it’s rewarding to share that with people who are looking for something a little different than a typical stay.
Why they chose this property
The four acres of desert vegetation are stunning. I fell in love with this property the first time I walked the grounds. The valley views give it a remote feeling, but the home is ideally situated minutes from town and the park. The house is airy with high ceilings. I added six French doors to this sundrenched home so guests can enjoy the beautiful views from every room. The infinity pool, the cedar spa, the firepit, the stargazing pit, the outdoor shower… all add to the transformative experience this property presents.
What makes this property unique
his isn’t just a Joshua Tree rental, it’s a private desert experience. Set on over four acres, the property offers true seclusion and quiet, with no close neighbors and wide-open views, yet it’s still just minutes from town and the park entrance. The outdoor space is what really sets it apart. Instead of a single feature, it’s a fully immersive environment with an infinity-edge pool, cedar hot tub, fire pit, dedicated stargazing area, outdoor shower, multiple lounge spaces, and even a natural wildlife watering hole where you can watch the desert come alive. It feels more like your own private desert retreat than a typical backyard.
The home is designed for how people actually want to spend time here, with slow mornings enjoying the views, afternoons in the pool, and evenings under a sky full of stars. There’s also an authenticity that’s hard to find. The space reflects a true desert sensibility—comfortable, intentional, and relaxed without feeling staged. Perfect for couples, small groups, or longer stays, this is a place where the setting does the work. A stay here isn’t just about where you sleep, it’s about how you experience Joshua Tree.
