Stargaze from the hot tub! A boho desert retreat

The house offers endless views from the double glass doors in the living room with a panorama of jutting hills in the national park. The master bedroom, boasting a king-size bed, lets you witness both sunrise and sunset from its vantage points – a true retreat.

Experience luxury in this modern master bathroom, featuring a deep soaking tub and a refreshing rain shower. The spacious great room is the perfect spot for cooking, dining, and entertaining, equipped with an HDTV, DVDs, board games, puzzles, and cards. (A blow up queen-size mattress adds flexibility for extra guests.)

The kitchen is fully equipped which invites your culinary creativity.

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.

Lovely Quiet Stay in Joshua tree
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.

Perseids Meteor shower put on a show
The property is off the beaten path which is perfect for watching the meteor shower. Sati is an excellent host and very responsive to all requests. The property is fenced off and feels very safe. No neighbors are adjacent to the property giving plenty of privacy. The House is a very cute Spanish Mission style home. Very clean and stocked with essentials. We would love to stay here again the next time we visit JT. Thank you Sati for opening your home to us.

Lovely stay! The hot tub under the stars is the gem of this location! Very clean, spacious, huge bed and bathtub. And seriously, the hot tub is perfect. All dishes and utensils match and are clean — love this rather than the mismatched sets you sometimes find. Very flexible with check in process —allowed us an early check in which was a game changer for us. Thank you so much!!

Beautiful quite and Comfy
I recently stayed at Sahara Madre with my daughter, mother and pup. We came for the weekend to watch the meteor shower. At first we were a little worried how far away from the city we were but it worked in our favor! We were able to view the Meteor shower in the gated front yard instead of sit in traffic at Joshua tree national park! The inside is so pretty, I wish we would have made time to use the jacuzzi but it was just too hot… great communication with the owner. I highly recommend for a peaceful getaway…

Cool house
Cool Spanish style house. Great remodeled bathroom. Just a bit dusty around the edges. But it is JT after all. Outside couch was moldy underneath. Torn shade cloths. Jacuzzi top was shabby. But all in all a great stay. Thank you.

Meditation Paradise
Peaceful retreat conducive to relaxation, introspection, writing, and happiness. Exquisite sunrises and sunsets every single day. Full moon and star watching magnificent as you are away from town lights. Dog friendly with safe fenced in yard and enough bunnies and road runners outside to keep the dog interested... watch for coyotes, but never saw one near the house. Friendly neighbors. Just about everything one could need included. Magnificently newly remodeled bathroom with soaking tub. Next door to Noah Purifoy Assemblage Art is a huge bonus. A few things a little older and in slight insignificant disrepair than indicated in photos... but nothing critical. Comfy bed. Relaxing hot tub. Eclectic and spiritual decor. Lots of places to sit and relax outside. Do not expect good internet or TV reception because of location, that is just the way it is way up in the desert, and one is not there for that anyway. Close enough to town and the park for adventure. Lots of places to go walking with the dog right out the door.

Quiet comfort
This was a very chill solo getaway for me. The owner was very welcoming and gave excellent directions/communication. The place gets exceptional light for a writing retreat and a great outdoor space with views for sun rises in the morning and sunsets in the evening. The hot tub and lounging area outback were lovely to take in. Make sure to bring some firewood. I didn't realize there was a firepit out back or a fireplace inside. Next time I'd defiantly enjoy a small evening fire. I couldn't figure the jacuzzi tub out, but it was still lovely - and honestly, with the hot tub outside, I'm not complaining. The 'limited spices' note is literal. So if you are a foodie looking to cook, bring what you want to make your dish. Not a complaint - just a pro tip. I would come back!

We loved sitting outside watching the setting sun change the view across the mountains. It was very quiet, peaceful, private setting. The house was very comfortable and nicely maintained. Kitchen area was well done and provided basic ammenities, (well except aluminum foil). It was also convenient to have a washer and dryer.

Great place for star gazing.
This was a cute little oasis in the desert and we loved being able to enjoy the night sky out in the hot tub. We also saw a lot of wildlife outside which made our stay even more fun. The only issue we ran into was that the air vents make a loud noise when it's windy outside and we couldn't figure out what it was at first, so it was not ideal for light sleepers. But it was very windy when we were there and I don't think this would be an issue most of the time. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a unique stay out in Joshua Tree. We had a great time!

Great views but needs some TLC
The location of this house was really convenient to the national park and the views were great. It was pretty quiet and we had a decent amount of privacy. However, it needs a deep cleaning and some maintenance items needs to be taken care of. We didn't use the hot tub because the water was cloudy and there was dirt on the bottom. We also did not use the coffee pot because it was crusty with hard water stains and needed to be cleaned, or better yet replaced. When we got there, I noticed the refrigerator door handles were visibly dirty and the kitchen counters and table were sticky and grimy, so I had to clean those myself. I also noticed a garlic clove on the kitchen floor that should have been swept up. Gross. The shower is an accident waiting to happen. The water pools up before going down the drain, so when you rinse off your soap or shampoo, the shower floor gets extremely slippery. The shower door does not stay closed either. I had to wonder if the bathroom was properly sanitized. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were very thin and not comfortable at all. There was something sharp in the bedroom rug that my husband and I both stepped on which was really weird (and painful). Cool house, but definitely needs some care.

Very Cozy
At first I was concerned about it being just a bit too far away, but after driving to and from town a couple times, getting back and forth was a breeze, and the short amount of dirt roads were packed enough it made driving a breeze. The directions given by the host ahead of time were very helpful and much appreciated. Hot tub was ready and house was in order. This was my first VRBO or house rental period, and I’m so happy with the experience. I’ve always gotten hotels, but this has opened my eyes to other places to stay now. The area has changed so much since I was stationed here and it has definitely changed for the better. TLDR: great stay, you won’t be disappointed
