My husband and I stayed one night but wish we booked for the weekend. As first timers to Yucca Valley we wanted star gazing and tranquility, this property was perfect! It also had a beautiful decor, comfortable beds and a well appointed backyard. Will definitely stay again!

This place is amazing. The decor is wonderful, and the space was very comfortable for three older ladies. Open and bright…but rooms for privacy. Spotless. Comfy beds. The best setup kitchen I’ve ever seen in a rental. Absolutely everything you can possibly need.We were there for bucket list stargazing, which was incredible! Loved the hot tub. Toured (in the air conditioned car) Joshua Tree National Park (too hot for hiking)…loved it! We didn’t expect it to be so beautiful! Lora is a great hostess and was very responsive.If you stay here, (and you definitely should!) pay attention to the directions she carefully gives you to find the place. Don’t plan to arrive after dark! This place exceeded my expectations. Wonderful!!!

Wonderful stay in the desert

Great property out in the desert conveniently located not far from Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley. Great base to explore JTNP and surrounding area. House is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all you need. Stargazing from the hot tub during the evening is a must! Lots of wildlife nearby is an added bonus. Highly recommended!

Secluded Getaway

Octotillo was a great place to getaway. Lara's instructions were clear and concise. The house is tucked away north of Joshua Tree National Park and was everything you could ask for in a vacation destination. The property has great views of the night sky and we were able to see a few meteors. House was fairly clean and the beds comfortable. The firepit was welcoming and Literally off the beaten path and away far from the maddening crowds. Getting there requires navigating unpaved roads but it's manageable in a tiny sedan in the day time. Their is a neighboring house that we didn't see anyone at. It's a quiet place to get your mind away from work and enjoy the outdoors. Would definitely come back.

Fantastic stay - 10/10 recommend!

We absolutely loved this desert getaway. The dirt road drive-up is a bit daunting, but once you get there, you'll be grateful for how remote it feels. Just you, the house and the silent desert! Plus loads of amenities -- we sat in the hot tub every night, made s'mores by the outdoor fire, cozied up to the indoor fire. We cooked in the beautiful kitchen and were surprised by how well stocked it was! We had our choice of cooking utensils, spices and pans. And we loved eating outside at the big backyard table. The beds/linens are super luxe and comfortable, too. Every detail is immaculately designed and well taken care of, you can tell. Seriously one of the best rental houses we’ve seen. We only wish we could've stayed longer! Thanks to Lara for an excellent stay.

Great place and very rustic

We had a great stay here. 10/10 - everything was clean, lots of kitchen items, and your basic amenities. The road getting there was a bit rough, but this was communicated by the host. The property was large, and the house itself was very open and clean. Very great for pictures and to feel solitude. With all thay said, it wasn't our cup of tea. Most outside windows in the common areas dont have blinds/curtains so during the day, it let in lots of beautiful natural light which we loved, but we preferred more privacy at night. The bedrooms however DO have blinds so it was nice and dark when we slept. Again- nothing wrong with the propery and I understand why this place is rated so highly. This was just our preference. We would still recommend it other friends of ours because it is a really cool place.

Unique secluded desert home experience

The home is very unique and we thought it very cool that it is often used as an artists retreat. Make sure you check spam for the detailed check in information. We are glad we arrived in the daylight as you must take an unmarked dirt road to get there. The home is very open with window coverings only in the bedrooms so prepare for that. Usually when I travel to new places I like to close myself in at night so that felt a bit uncomfortable for me to not be able to draw any blinds/curtains etc especially as the property is very isolated save a neighbor separated by chain link fence. We tried the hot tub but unfortunately the water was set at too chilly a temperature to enjoy. I imagine if you came during the hot time of year, it would feel great, but there was still snow in the mountains and it only got up to the mid 50’s while we were there. The location had great access to Joshua Tree and that’s what we came for. Additionally it was a quick few minute drive to town for shopping dining etc. Make sure to hit the snake bite for a burger and beverage while in town. Very cool unique open large peaceful spot! Very comfy beds and linens.

We celebrated my spouse’s birthday with this stay at Lara’s property and it was exactly the type of serene and beautiful experience we were looking forward to. The house is indeed quite remote, but there a couple of neighbors nearby which made us feel more at ease. The house itself sits on an incredibly spacious plot of land and we really enjoyed taking strolls around the property every day. We were disappointed not to have seen more wildlife during our stay, but we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of one of the resident owl’s swooping down from a telephone pole right in front of us!We really appreciated the variety of spaces throughout the house and took the most advantage of the den, the record player, and the dining area with its expansive windows facing the backyard. I would’ve loved to have used the outdoor amenities more, but we did manage to enjoy the hot tub and fire pit on one of ours nights.

This home is a perfect desert retreat! We booked it as the last leg of a 2 week journey and it was the best way to unwind and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Very spacious, with comfortable beds, and the kitchen has all the amenities of home. Although the bed was super cozy and comfortable, I wish the other blankets and towels were more plush. I appreciate how they match the aesthetic of the house, but the throw blankets we found weren’t very cozy. That said, the rustic decor and feel of the house is very appropriate for the desert landscape. (Our friends stayed nearby in a very modern home with a bubble tent outside and we thought The Ocotillo was more true to the overall vibe and gave the experience we were looking for).Getting to the property is a little tricky, even with the provided maps. Definitely heed the advice and arrive in the daytime, as the “markers” are difficult to distinguish in the pitch black of night, especially since we didn’t know what the markers looked like. Turning on the satellite view on our GPS was a life saver. I’d recommend driving an SUV or something with a higher suspension.The property is large enough where it doesn’t even feel like you have a neighbor. The sky was so clear and so many stars visible with the naked eye. A fancy telescope is provided, but we didn’t use it. The link provided to instructions for it didn’t work so we found a YouTube video for it and it was overwhelming for us. The onsite art gallery was inspiring and beautiful.

Our stay was very enjoyable! Looks just like the photos. The hot tub and star gazing was amazing after a long day hiking in the park. We arrived at night due to timing of our trip and it was very challenging to navigate the road leading up to the house, so agree that it’s best to arrive during the during the sunlight hours if you can. Definitely recommend a car with four wheel drive. I would recommend others to stay here!

Check-in was seamless and the house looks just like the photos inside and out. One thing the photos can’t capture is the expanse of the land surrounding the property. There a house next door on the driveway side (which is nice actually so you’re not 100% alone) but no direct views so it still feels very private and remote. The back and other sides of the house look out onto open land. On the property and into the horizon you’ll find palo verde, mesquite, and Joshua trees, and creosote bushes (often associated with petrichor - think the aroma of desert rain). We brought groceries and the kitchen is fully-equipped so we were able to make all of our meals. We had such a good time cooking and dunking in the cowboy pool during the sunlight hours and watching the Perseids meteor shower at night. The office is a great place to focus (good Wi-Fi access) and to keep any necessary work things separate from vacation things. Lots of good books and records, comfy beds, and everywhere you look is a little vignette of art and nature. Which leads to the gallery - such a cool addition to a vacation space. The exhibition right now focuses on photography and natural elements, really beautiful work. Love this place!

Get away no tv no people

How star skies show on painting and television was a dream of ours and this location made it come true!It feel like its in the middle of no where with lots of bumpy dirty riads which will make you question about having a four wheeler or a big truck or suv. DOUBLE CHECK EMAIL & MESSAGES FOR PROPER ROUTE! If not given contact host.Once you make it with the code that they tell you before you get in you will instantly feel at ease. The floors and cool concrete which is perfect for the summer. Empty yet full of good energy with random pieces of art and funture near by. There is one restroom on the side and two comfortable bedrooms separate. The kitchen is in the middle and living room right there is the back with comfortable seats table and a record player with lots of records to choose from!Sliding the glass door to the back there is a beautiful view with jacuzzi, metal tub, outdoor table, bbq grill and seats and a fire pit. You want firewood? No problem! They have a little convenience store not too far where you can buy firewood, charcoal and other things you typically find in a liquor store ot 7-ELEVEN[but! no fresh hot food! Remember that you are staying in a dessert stay. There are wild plants and animals(including bugs) so do NOT be surprised to see little critters around when you turn on the light to the restroom or wake up in the morning to find a little uninvited guest in the kitchen.Jacuzzi? Amazing! Looking at the stars outside? Out of this world!Lovely stay.

Wonderful desert hideaway

The Ocotillo was exactly what we were looking for when we visited Joshua Tree. It's a lovely, relaxing property very near the park. We enjoyed hiking the isolated desert around the house and never saw a single person. We all enjoyed the Jacuzzi and cowboy pool. Nights were especially lovely on the back porch. Highly recommend!

Desert getaway

Had an amazing stay! Went with my husband and infant (6months). The pool was fantastic and super clean, the rooms were cozy and well done and the kitchen had everything we needed. Wouldn’t recommend if you have a small child who is mobile as the floors are concrete and uneven in places but for us it was perfect. Great added touch of the art gallery in the back, was super cool to see art from the park and then hike in the park seeing all the formations from the gallery. Directions for entry and how to find the place were easy and great communication from host

Perfect Hi Desert Experience

The Ocotillo exceeded my expectations and offered everything I had hoped for and then some. Loved that it is quiet and secluded, but still easy to get to Joshua Tree. The house itself is beautifully designed and felled very cozy. Communication with Lara was easy and she responded quickly to questions. I will definitely be back!

Qui vous reçoit ?

Vous êtes reçu par Lara Hoad

Hello, I'm Lara. I'm an architect originally from London but have lived in Los Angeles, California for many years and also own The Ocotillo llocated in Joshua Tree. My favorite thing to do is to escape to the desert to immerse myself in nature away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I have traveled the world many times over and can honestly say that Joshua Tree National Park and surrounding area is one of the most magical places on the planet. I absolutely love spending time there and it brings me so much joy to be able to open the house for others to enjoy too.

Pourquoi avoir choisi cet hébergement ?

The neighborhood is tucked away up on the mesa and although it feels remote it is only a short drive into town and centrally located for all best desert attractions. Being a mile on a dirt road, it is very peaceful with an abundance of wildlife. The evenings are filled with hooting owls, bats and the occasional distant pack of howling coyotes. There are a handful of neighbors to one side of the property and the other side is vast open desert with hiking trails that stretch for miles and distant mountain views.

Quels sont les atouts de cet hébergement ?

The Ocotillo is a cherished desert retreat and I have put so much love into it by filling it with unique objects and furniture that have been collected over the years. The main house is open plan and spacious with views from each room and it continues to be used as a place of inspiration for those that vacation there as well as the artists who take part in the annual residency program. In the adjacent building you will find the art gallery which guests will have private access to during their stay. The next show will open in May 2025. The house and gallery sits on a 2.5 acre perimeter fenced property filled with Joshua Trees, Mesquite and Palo Verde trees and is surrounded on three sides by vast open areas of government land. Nature is abundant with a variety of birds and animals that live on and around the property including, chipmunks, jackrabbits, owls, road runners and woodpeckers. Centrally located for access to all the high desert attractions including Joshua Tree National Park, Pappy and Harriets, Pioneer Town, La Copine and The Integratron. All communication will be directly with Lara Hoad the owner and designer of The Ocotillo house and gallery to ensure a personal experience. There are no remote management companies or third party hosts.
