Three middle aged friends came for a stay for hiking at JTree and time together. House was a great fit for us - it is well designed to be both comfortable and pretty!

Thanks so much for your review. Glad you enjoyed your stay at Mojave Ghost.
After a conference in awful Vegas, we stayed two wonderful days at this puuuuurfect property. Everything is on spot. We loved the silence, all features that house comes with and the rough desert nature around.
We spent two nights at The Mojave Ghost while visiting Joshua Tree and Palm springs in March. Our stay was excellent. We were welcomed extremely warmly with consideration for us and our kids. The house is amazing with great amenities; everything we needed was available. The outdoor space was great too, we loved swimming in the pool, hiking around the property, watching the stars and enjoyed the breathtaking views. We are already looking forward to the chance to come back for a longer stay.

Thank you so much for your kind and warm review, Lawerence. We hope to host you and the family again very soon!
We were so happy to book this great house the interior design and ambience took our breath away. I wish we were here longer — the amenities in the house and the area are wonderful. Lisa was very accommodating and easy to book with. We fully recharged and got our heads together by hiking and swimming and relaxing. This is a VERY special place in a gorgeous setting. Peaceful, tranquil and private. My guests were very pleased with my choice.

Thanks Linda, so happy you and your guests enjoyed your stay. Please come back again for a longer stay. Safe travels.
My husband and I stayed at Mojave Ghost on our way to LA. We were blown away by the home and the surrounding property. Impeccably decorated, yet surprisingly comfortable, the house is thoughtfully appointed and everything we needed or wanted was waiting for us.
Lisa was a gracious host. She made sure we felt taken care of without hovering, and she thought of everything to make us feel pampered, relaxed, and welcomed.
The grounds surrounding the home are glorious - the pool and hot tub are a great amenity of course, but the fact that they are situated in a way that made us feel like we could melt into the dessert and skyline made the experience truly special.
Just magical.

Thanks so much for staying with us and for your lovely review. We hope you and Ken come back for a longer stay. Safe travels, Lisa
This home is absolutely stunning and perfect in every single way! This was a surprise birthday trip for my husband and we were both in awe! Like something out of a dream. The decor of this home is so pleasing and comforting & everything was exceptionally clean! The hot tub and pool were our favorite part of our stay! The location is secluded and very private. The outdoor shower and soaking tub are amazing! This home has every amenity you could ever want or dream of. My husband and I grilled steaks on the outdoor grill and used the pizza oven to make a homemade pizza. We cooked for the entirety of our stay and everything from plates and silverware to pots, cooking utensils and spices were all available. We even enjoyed the Joshua Tree coffee and smores kit provided by the host. We never left the home and never ran out of things to do. The hammocks and yoga circle are such stunning additions! Lisa is a top tier host! We have never had a host be so responsive, helpful, and sweet! She provided us with so many details including locations to grocery shop or pick up food. She even went out of her way to provide links and store hours for us! To top it all off, she ordered and picked up my husband's favorite birthday cake, candles, and champagne. We even reached out on Christmas night with a question and she responded within minutes. Lisa is what makes this place such an incredible place to stay! Dreaming of the day we get to return.
Highly, highly recommend this property. It is without doubt the best experience I have had at a short term rental. Felt like high end spa/hotel. Extremely private. The grounds were absolutely amazing. No detail overlooked. High end sheets, towels, furnishings etc. I did’t want to leave. And Lisa was attentive but not overbearing. Perfection all the way. Will definitely return for at least a weeks stay.
Eric was an excellent guest. He cared for the property and adhered to all rules. He is welcome back anytime.
About the host
Hosted by Lisa
Retired Interior Designer with businessman Hubby moved to desert from Chicago. Love living surrounded by natural beauty and wildlife everyday - magical.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the area for its quiet beauty, endless sunsets and the feeling of being completely immersed in nature. Wildlife sightings, Encounters with Owls, Bobcats, Coyotes, Bunnies, an abundance of singing birds and the like occur frequently; whilst being bathed in golden light daily. Feels remote but is still very close to Joshua Tree park, shops, restaurants and Palm Springs with it's International Airport and outrageous nightlife - just a skip away.
What makes this property unique
Guest often say Mojave Ghost is far more beautiful in person -deeply private, peaceful adn expansive. Designed with quiet luxury sensibility inspired by Aman and Paradero, the property offers a rare blend of silence, unforgettable sunsets, unparalleled star gazing and thoughtfully curated design. The Spa and pool are simply icing on this desert escape.
