About this property

Alana House-Hot Tub, Pool, Fire Pit & Near Trails

Summary:

Welcome to The Alana House, a serene desert oasis near Joshua Tree Village. This four bedroom retreat features a private pool, hot tub, and fire pit. Enjoy expansive desert views from your hammock, explore nearby rock climbing, or stargaze under the clear night sky. Perfect for families or groups, this home offers the ideal blend of adventure and tranquility for an unforgettable California getaway.



The Space:

Step inside, kick off your shoes, and make yourself at home. Whether you're whipping up a group feast in the fully equipped kitchen, racking up a friendly game of pool, or curling up by the gas fireplace with a glass of wine, this open living space was built for bringing people together. When it’s time to eat, gather everyone around the spacious eight-person dining table to share a great meal and plan the next day's adventures. Need to knock out a few emails before heading out to explore? A quiet, dedicated workspace gives you a comfortable spot to focus.



As welcoming as the interior is, the backyard completely steals the show. Think of it as your own private outdoor resort. Take a refreshing dip in the pool to wade, play, or just spend hours floating under the sun. As the desert air cools down in the evening, slip into the steaming hot tub to soak under the stars, or gather around the fire pit to dry off, roast s'mores, and swap stories late into the night. If you want a little quiet time, four hammocks are tucked into peaceful corners across the fully fenced, completely private yard, giving everyone their own shaded sanctuary for a mid-afternoon nap or a quiet chapter of a good book.



PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:

• 4 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms, sleeps 8 (primary king suite with its own en suite bathroom, plus a second king and two queens)

• Private pool and large hot tub

• Gas fire pit and gas grill

• Pool table and indoor gas fireplace

• 4 hammocks in the fully enclosed backyard

• Central AC and heat for comfort all year

• Strong Reliable Wifi

LOCAL ADD-ON EXPERIENCES

From sound baths and in-home massages to stargazing under some of the darkest skies in Southern California, we've handpicked local vendors to match whatever mood you're in. Book a personal chef for a lazy night in, saddle up for a horseback ride, or take a guided hike through the National Park or other local trails. However you want to spend your time here, relaxing or adventuring, the desert (and our favorite locals) has you covered. Once your reservation is confirmed, let us know you are interested and we will connect you!



Guest Access:

The property and house is yours to roam and relax.



Getting Around:

We recommend traveling by car to explore Joshua Tree for maximum flexibility, as ride sharing services are unreliable. If you prefer not to drive, the local taxi service Lucky 777 is a dependable option. Our property offers free parking for up to four vehicles to ensure your car is kept secure during your stay.



Other Things to Note:

Heating & Cooling: Central heating and air conditioning are provided throughout the home to keep guests comfortable in every season.



No Pets: This property does not allow any pets. Any evidence of an undisclosed pet will result in a $750 deep cleaning fee. Please note that documented service dogs are exempt from this policy.



Pool: The pool is NOT heated and only serviced for use in summer months, May-September.



Guest Policy: We only allow the number of guests listed as the maximum occupancy for this property, so any additional day guests must be requested and approved in advance. No extra overnight guests are permitted beyond those included in your reservation.



Watch your Step: This desert land holds onto bits of its past, so you may spot the occasional rusty object or piece of glass in the yard, please wear shoes anytime you're outside. You'll also be sharing the landscape with local snakes and scorpions. They want nothing to do with you, so if you see one, just back away calmly and quietly



Wood Burning Fires: We do not permit wood-burning fires anywhere on the property at any time, including in fire pits or fireplaces, due to the high risk of wildfire in our area. This policy is strictly enforced for the safety of our guests, neighbors, and the surrounding landscape,.



Desert Critters: Please keep doors closed while entering and exiting, curious critters will let themselves in given the chance. Desert wildlife is part of what makes this area special, expect sightings of jackrabbits, tortoises, roadrunners, quail, and lizards. You may also spot coyotes, rattlesnakes, scorpions, or occasionally a bobcat or mountain lion. Most just want their space, so it's best to give them yours.



Camera/Decibel Monitor: This property has forward-facing exterior security cameras, but there are no cameras anywhere inside the home. We also use noise decibel monitors indoors to help avoid disturbing neighbors. These only measure sound levels and never record audio.



Interaction with Guests:

We like to respect our guest’s privacy, so you won’t see too much of us - unless you need us to come by. We will be available to answer any questions you may have and to help make your stay more enjoyable.

It’s a great place. We loved the pool table. The hot tub and tank pool were great and spotless. There is a massive picnic table on the porch where everyone spent time painting Watercolor Joshua trees. The oven wouldn’t turn on which was an inconvenience but not major. The beds were immaculate. A great location to get to the park.
