Desert Alchemy isn’t your typical container home and unlike any other vacation property. It’s the perfect stay for the modern nomad, whether you’re stopping through on a California road trip, working remotely or on a romantic weekend away, you’re not going to want to leave. It’s 5 star luxury that melds seamlessly into its high desert landscape
Desert Alchemy has been featured in articles about architecture, design and DIY because of its famous architect/builder, Ben Uyeda.

This secluded cluster of modern containers sits perched up on its own little mini hill with amazing hikes leading up to your personal magical hilltop overlooking much of Joshua Tree, including the National Park. Each container, with carefully curated colors and textures boasts endless views of the high desert. It also has all new and top of the line Mitsubishi mini split AC/ heating, Haier stainless steel refrigerator, stove and microwave and a brand new tankless water heater. The bedrooms and bathrooms in separate containers offer couples or groups of friends complete privacy.

Desert Alchemy is perfect for guests who relish a truly indoor/outdoor experience and appreciate modern design. The large glass panel doors open completely, bringing almost 9 acres to play, work, create or simply relax by the fire pit directly to your doorstep. The outdoor area has ample seating areas, a new propane BBQ and prep space as well as one of the coolest ping pong tables around. Have a drink and soak up the sun in the cowboy tubs - there’s 2 6’ tubs so there’s plenty of room for everyone. Soak up the moonlight next to the propane fire pit, super easy to shut on and off. The brand new Jacuzzi J335 hot tub is the perfect way to melt the stress away, and perfect for stargazing.
**Please do note that the cowboy tubs will be closed October- March but depends on weather and drought status.

Stay up late or book during the New Moon for the best views of the endless blanket of stars above.

Although Desert Alchemy is isolated, downtown Joshua Tree is a mere 15 minutes away and the West Park Entrance is only 30 minutes away.

Because our house doesn’t really fit into all the boxes on here, below is a better description of the property. It consists of 3 containers (2 for guests) in a little cluster over 8 acres.

Container 1 “The Sun”: sleeps 2, has a full bathroom, full kitchen, dining room/living room. It’s the center of the action.

Container 2 “Mercury” sleeps 2 and has full bathroom including a bathtub. Views are amazing. Has a back door so guests in that space can come and go without disturbing anyone.

The third container is a private art studio with no guest access that is not occupied during your stay.
Desert Alchemy sits on nearly 9 acres of beautiful desert landscape to explore including our very own trail up to the hilltop where you can see views of the park. We have provided multiple
Seating arrangements to enjoy the outdoors to eat, chill, and stargaze.
