About this property
Hot Tub Stargazing with Amazing Desert Views
Come to Sahara Madre for a complete desert experience. This private, fully fenced mission-style sanctuary offers a quiet and elegant get away. The location is one of the most loved things about this property. Enjoy the stillness of the desert and marvel at the expansive mountain views.
It's the perfect refuge after a day of exploring. Book today for a perfect desert experience.
The house offers endless views from the double glass doors in the living room with a panorama of the surrounding mountains. The master bedroom, has a comfy king-size bed, lets you witness both sunrise and sunset from its vantage points – a true retreat.
Experience the luxury of our deep soaking tub and a refreshing rain shower. The spacious great room is the perfect spot for cooking, dining, and relaxing. Equipped with an smart TV, and be sure to look in the cup boards to find DVDs, board games, puzzles, and cards.
A blow up queen-size mattress adds flexibility for extra guests.
The kitchen is fully equipped to make your evenings in a breeze to cook.
Soft bedding and plush towels are provided for your convenience.
Step out to the covered outdoor patio with a BBQ and dining area – perfect for enjoying crisp evening desert air. The hot tub is such a pleasure either day or night, though star gazing here is my favorite.
We are on 2 acres, you will have access to the full property. The house will be yours for the time of your booking.
Your privacy is important. Feel free to communicate through messaging and phone calls, and rest assured that personal contact will only be initiated as needed or requested by you, the guest. Your comfort and preferences are a priority, and I'm here to ensure your stay aligns with your preferences.
Escape to desert living in this comfortably cozy home, where you can experience the unique charm of the desert environment. While the home provides comfort, remember you're in the desert – expect bugs, and temperatures can be extreme. The location means only satellite WiFi is available, so plan accordingly.
Note that the cooling unit is an evaporative cooler rather than central air, ensuring a refreshing desert breeze. Also, I prioritize fair wages for my cleaners, and the cleaning fee you pay is just a portion – let's support living wages together!
Respect the tranquility of the neighborhood, as the residents of Joshua Tree open their homes to thousands of visitors seeking the beauty of the park and clean desert air. Keep in mind, noise travels easily in the desert, and your neighbors can hear you.
Sahara Madre is located just behind the Noah Purifory Outdoor Art Museum. The sculptures of this 10 acre museum can be seen from the living room. This neighborhood is one of my favorites. Each surrounding property is unique and artistic.

Great place to stay for a relaxing get away. Very conveniently located and a quick drive to joshua tree park. The home was very clean and comfortable had all the basics we needed. We really enjoyed the Star gazing at night and getting in the hot tub. Sati is a wonderful host and was extremely helpful. Thanks so much for a great stay!
The place is perfect for everything J Tree has to offer from stargazing to hot tubs and a house that is not too hot, not too cold and incredible comfortable.We will come back, no doubt.

Lucas, I am happy that you found Sahara Madre to be just right! I would be happy to host you again on your next desert adventure. Thanks for the review!
This was a very lovely property. Quiet and relaxing, excellent kitchen, lovely outdoor seating and beautiful views. Sati was very responsive to my questions. Its location is both private and not too far from town. We enjoyed breakfast out and beautiful sunset dinners in. The decor is lovely and the deep tub in the bathroom is lovely. We are going to be back again!

Linda it was really wonderful hosting you. It makes me so happy when people can really appreciate all the house and the area has to offer. Thank you for your kind words and I look forward to hosting you again.
Sati was an incredibly personable host who made every effort to ensure our stay was perfect! The house is nestled away and feels like you're getting away off the grid, but shopping is only 15 minutes away. It was quiet, beautiful inside, and we enjoyed our evenings by the fire while sipping on delicious orange tea provided by Sati (seriously, how awesome is Sati?!), and looking at the clear sky and stars outside. We will definitely be staying here again!

Garrett, I am so happy you enjoyed Sahara Madre and found it not only clean but peaceful, comfortable, and lovely. Please consider staying on your next trip to Joshua Tree!
Lovely place. Beautiful great room & cozy wood burning fireplace. Bring firewood. Dreamy soaking tub, and hot tub. Nice fenced yard with several trees and green bushes. Bring wine glasses, cling wrap or foil. Nothing provided for food storage. Could use a new set of matching silverware. Clogged shower head, but pretty pink tiled shower with gold fixtures. Beautiful tile work throughout. Big bright windows and soothing cross breeze. Comfortable swamp cooler. Good location - a little tricky to find the first time, or in the dark. Definitely arrive in daylight if possible. A really wonderful, peaceful place.
We enjoyed our stay! Everything was clean and kitchen was fully stocked with all tools needed to have a great staycation in Joshua Tree! We enjoyed the fully fenced in property for our pups. We also loved getting to stargaze at night in the hot tub! Close to the national park as well so we were able to go explore. Such a perfect stay and would stay again if we were ever in the area!

Alison,
I am so happy you enjoyed stargazing from the hot tub and the fully stocked kitchen to make you trip to Joshua Tree a true 'staycation". I hope you made lots a sweet memories. Next time you venture to J Tree, you are always welcome!
Our host Sati was the best!! So easy to communicate with. This is probably one of the most comfortable vacation rentals we have ever stayed in. Loved the eclectic artsy decor. The hot tub was fantastic & great for Stargazing. Loved the layout of the home. we kept saying it feels so big yet so cozy. Our little dog loved the property as well.Great proximity to the national Park, dining and outdoor museums. I would highly recommend this vacation rental.

Loretta, thank you for your kind review. It makes me so happy to read it! Especially the part about it being the most comfortable vacation rental you’ve stayed at! Cozy, is one of my ambitions for this house, and glad you found it to be. Thanks again and all the best!
We enjoyed our stay! Sierra Madre is a beautiful property with amazing views, both in the sky and the surrounding landscape. Sati was easy to communicate with and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Our dogs enjoyed the large, fenced in yard. We would love to stay again in the future.

Renai, thank you for you kind words! I am so happy to hear that you loved both the night sky and surrounding landscape. Me too! A fenced yard particularly great for pet owners to let their pets run around! Thanks again.
This house was an extremely pleasant home to relax in. The open concept was wonderful. We loved working in the kitchen and relaxing in the same area on the couch and enjoying our evenings around the fireplace. Oh the bathroom is beautiful and functional. There are several areas outside to enjoy relaxing, reading and conversations. At night we had a good time trying to name the constellations of 1000s of stars. Property is private and quiet. Also perfect for dog owners.There were a few issues with lights not working but nothing of a great problem. Sati tried to explain.Oh the doors are challenging to lock, until Sati gave me better instructions on how they work.We look forward to returning some day.

Betty, I am so happy you found the home pleasant and got to take advantage of the different spots around the property to hang out. The great room really is "great" that you can cook, and enjoy the fireplace! I am working to replace those funky light switches as well as give better directions for those huge german doors! Thanks for the wonderful review and I hope to host you for your next desert adventure!
Such a wonderful stay, Sati is an incredible host! The view of the stars from the hot tub was truly incredible and the home was cozy as could be. Thank you!

Samantha, it makes me so happy to hear you found the home cozy! It truly is my goal to create cozy, comfy spaces for guests to unwind. Star gazing from the hot tub is something else! Thank you for your kind words and I would love to host again!
What a great place for our first time to the desert! We loved the style of the home, the decor, and the location. The bathtub is a bath-lover's dream, and the bed is a bed-lover's dream :) We appreciated the entire property was fenced in for our dogs; we did keep them leashed to be extra cautious of the wildlife. We heard coyotes and owls into the night. Great place for stargazing. Home was well kept and clean. Host was great and communicated everything upfront; would stay here again :)

Just as described, wonderful property, we had such a peaceful weekend.
Close enough to food, stores and National Park but with lots of quiet seclusion.

We had a lovely quiet stay in Joshua Tree. The description and pictures on VRBO were spot on. The interior is very lovely and pleasant, the location is very quiet with good views and the giant bathtub is awesome. Highly recommended.

About the host
Hosted by Sati
Hello, my name is Sati. I originate from the east coast, Philadelphia is my home town.
I've been in love with Joshua Tree since back when I first moved to CA in the 90's. I used to come and camp in the park and rock climb with friends.
Since then I have been fortunate enough to purchase a few properties. I enjoy creating a lovely space for others to come experience all the the Joshua Tree area has to offer.
Why they chose this property
When I saw this property I was struck by the uniqueness of the design. The fact the it is on a large lot which keeps the neighbors at bay and that it is situated around the corner from the Noah Purifory Outdoor Artsite were the clinchers for me.
What makes this property unique
Sahara Madre, a beautiful mission style house, is far enough out of town to feel the seclusion of the desert yet close enough to still get to things when needed.
