Desert Escape, Sweeping Views, 2.5 Fenced Acres, Hot Tub · Golden Hour House

Summary:
Relax and unwind at The Golden Hour House! Surrounded by iconic Joshua Trees and rolling mountains, enjoy nights by the fire pit, dine outdoors under the bistro lights and stars, and enjoy gorgeous sunrises and sunsets on the covered patio. A true desert escape, this newly remodeled home is situated on 2.5 fully fenced private acres and is just a short 7-minute drive to downtown Joshua Tree, and 15-minute drive to the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park.

The Space:
Nestled on 2.5 acres of fully fenced land, the Golden Hour House offers a serene and secluded escape amidst the beauty of the desert landscape. As you step onto the property, you'll be greeted by sweeping views of the desert and mountains. The expansive outdoor space provides plenty of room to roam and explore, whether you're soaking in the hot tub, lounging by the cowboy tub soaking pool, or stargazing around the fire pit under the vast desert sky. Best suited for a romantic couple's trip or a small family retreat, the Golden Hour House has 1 bedroom, with an office space with a futon that would work for 1 additional adult or 2 kids.

-Outdoors-
The outside areas are where the Golden Hour House shines and earns its namesake. Step outside and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the desert surroundings. Start your day off with a cup of coffee on the side patio - the perfect place to enjoy the sunrises. After a day of exploring, cool off in the cowboy tub soaking pool. Lounge in the hot tub and enjoy Joshua Tree's famous starry night skies surrounded by the tranquility of the desert landscape. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit for a cozy evening of storytelling, or simply relax and unwind as you gaze up at the star-filled desert sky. The mature landscaping is adorned with fairy lighting in mason jars, creating a magical atmosphere that enhances the desert experience.

-Living Area-
Step inside the cozy sunken living area, where midcentury modern and bohemian design elements come together to create a welcoming and stylish space. Sink into the plush seating and unwind with your favorite movie or records playing on the record player. Large picture windows allow natural light to flood the room, offering views of the surrounding desert landscape and inviting the outdoors in.

-Kitchen and Dining-
The fully stocked kitchen features handmade Moroccan backsplash tiles and modern appliances. Whip up a delicious meal using fresh ingredients from the local farmer's market (on Saturday mornings!) and gather around the dining table to enjoy. In the evening, take your dining experience outside to the charming outdoor dining table, where bistro lights twinkle overhead, creating a magical ambiance under the desert stars.

-Bedroom & Bathroom-
Retreat to the inviting sunken bedroom for a restful night's sleep in the comfort of high-quality linens and plush bedding. Wake up refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to start your day with a cup of coffee on the side covered patio. The bathroom is equipped with all the essentials to pamper yourself during your desert retreat including a rain shower and all shower products you'll need.

-Office-
For those who need to stay connected during their desert escape, the office space provides a space to catch up on work. The small desk offers workspace perfect for laptop. The bookshelves are also stocked with a large variety of my favorite books and trinkets from my travels. Please note that the office space is not a private room, it is situated between the bedroom and kitchen.

-Joshua Tree National Park-
Just a short drive away lies Joshua Tree National Park, a desert paradise waiting to be explored. Spend your days hiking among the iconic Joshua trees, marveling at the unique rock formations, and immersing yourself in the natural beauty of this breathtaking landscape. Whether you're seeking adventure or simply looking to reconnect with nature, the Golden Hour House offers the perfect base for your Joshua Tree getaway.
