The space Desert House /ˈdezərt haʊs/: A modern refuge designed to immerse guests in the vast beauty and quiet of the high desert while offering refined comfort and luxury.
Milky Way Retreat is a distinctive luxury desert house set on 10 private acres overlooking sweeping open desert, Joshua Tree National Park mountains, boulder formations, and expansive valley views. Designed with an earthy, ultra-modern aesthetic, the home blends natural materials and architectural simplicity to create a calm, elevated desert experience.
The single-story home features a bright open floor plan with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the surrounding desert landscape. Luxury limewash walls, designer finishes, and carefully curated furnishings create a space that feels both grounded in nature and effortlessly modern.
The fully equipped chef’s kitchen includes premium appliances and everything needed for cooking and entertaining, while the living space centers around a large 82” 4K smart TV and comfortable lounge seating. Starlink high-speed internet and a dedicated workspace make the home equally suited for remote work escapes.
Two thoughtfully designed bedrooms provide restful retreats: • King master suite with a spa-style bathroom and soaking tub • Queen guest bedroom with nearby full bath • Queen pull-out sofa in the living room for additional guests
The home comfortably sleeps up to 6 guests.
Outdoor living
The outdoor experience is where Milky Way Retreat truly shines.
An expansive elevated deck with built-in suspended floor hammock extends from the home, designed for relaxation, gathering, and soaking in the high-desert landscape.

• Private hot tub under the stars • Barrel sauna with panoramic glass viewing window • Large deck with built-in hammock suspended into the deck • Fire pit lounge area with seating • Outdoor dining table and lounge recliners • BBQ grill for outdoor cooking • Unobstructed stargazing and Milky Way views
With 10 private acres, the property offers rare privacy and open space rarely found in Joshua Tree rentals. Guests can explore the surrounding desert landscape and even hike directly toward the Joshua Tree National Park border within a 15-minute walk.
