Here Are a Few Kind Words From Our Recent Guests:

-”This amazing house, which sits on five (5!) acres, fully enfolds you in the warm arms of the desert. The house looks like a mid-century you would find in Palm Springs and is completely contemporary inside-the rooms were elegantly furnished and the amenities were beyond what I expected.” -Mary

-”We loved this property! Beautiful view, easy access to the park entrance, and extremely clean, comfortable, well designed, and stocked with basics.” -Laura

-”I've stayed in Airbnbs all over the world and this one is by far one of my favorites. From the beautiful Floor Plan and decor to the luxurious sheets this place is literally an oasis!” -Jayne

*Saltwater pools are gentler on the eyes, hair, and clothing. The chlorine in saltwater pools is created naturally rather in a man-made fashion, you won’t have the same harsh chlorine smell. Salt-chlorinated pool water is silkier and leaves your skin feeling less dried out than traditionally chlorinated pool water does.

-ACTIVITIES/ATTRACTIONS-
Visitors come to the High Desert for its unique landscape, culture, and recreational opportunities, as well as for the weather - hot and dry summers and mild winters at our high altitude. Joshua Tree and the communities surrounding the Joshua Tree National Park include Flamingo Heights, Pioneertown, Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley, and Landers. You’ll be close to all the action at Highlands Retreat. Some of our favorite options available to you:

–Joshua Tree National Park: 800,000 acres of mystical beauty - Joshua Tree National Park is one of the world’s most incredible natural desert treasures. Sweeping, grand in scale and populated by granite monoliths and voluptuous rock and boulder formations. This quiet land, conducive to meditation and roaming, was carved by extremes in climate - wind, rain and an ever-present, relentless sun. Diverse forms of plant life are found everywhere, but none as unique or prevalent as the park’s namesake: the Joshua tree, standing majestically across the vast topography.

–Pioneertown: Step back in time to thus rustic Old West-style village. Wander through the historic buildings, visit unique shops, catch a live music performance at Pappy & Harriets, and experience the Wild West charm.

• The Integratron: New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.

Guest Access:
You will have the entire house and property to yourself.

The Neighborhood:
Joshua Tree Highlands is considered one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the area given its close proximity to the national park as well as its forever northerly vistas of the Mojave Desert. Though you’ll feel like you’re far from civilization, this area sits just a few minutes’ drive from shops and restaurants in Joshua Tree Village and Yucca Valley. Joshua Tree BLM stretches (South) behind the house providing an escapers dream with the natural desert landscape, native flora and active wildlife. The Highlands community have beautiful vistas, quiet days and dark star-filled nights. In short, a contemplative alternative to the noise, bustle, and visual clutter of urban life.

Getting Around:
This is a remote location down dirt roads, so please take it slow. While a car is required to get around, a four wheel drive car is not, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain.

Interaction with Guests:
Our property manager, Homestead Modern, is local and has staff available from 9am-9pm.

Looking for a quiet rest in J Tree
The house itself was ok. Concrete floors def warrant slippers inside. They do make coffee makers that allow to to pour a cup before it's done...maybe splurge. The pool and spa area was tiny...pics are def done with clever drone angles. The road to the property is riddled with potholes and ruts. Our SUV bottomed out twice...mildly disturbing at night without help. And there's a huge military training site close by that was running drills the entire time we were there. Heard shelling all night and while hiking in J Tree. The sounds of freedom, I guess, but not those of a restful sleep.

Spectacular location
I would give this home the highest recommendation. Absolutely gorgeous location. This home is located between the visitor center and park entrance. It feels like you are staying in the park. The location is so peaceful, we enjoyed the quiet nights and amazing star filled skies. The home was spotless. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Everything you need, just bring clothes and groceries. Property management was easy to reach before and during our stay. Thank you for an amazing vacation!

60th Birthday Celebration
The pictures do not do this place justice. We had an incredible 3 day stay. Sad to leave. The house is amazing. Location couldn’t be better easy access to the park. Infinity pool was awesome! One of the best stocked houses I have ever rented. Joshua Tree National Park is spectacular. Will definitely be back. Host left a lovely bottle of wine for my 60th! Thank you for making my 60th birthday celebration a truly memorable experience.
