It's the perfect refuge after a day of exploring. Book today for a perfect desert experience.
The house offers endless views from the double glass doors in the living room with a panorama of the surrounding mountains. The master bedroom, has a comfy king-size bed, lets you witness both sunrise and sunset from its vantage points – a true retreat.
Experience the luxury of our deep soaking tub and a refreshing rain shower. The spacious great room is the perfect spot for cooking, dining, and relaxing. Equipped with an smart TV, and be sure to look in the cup boards to find DVDs, board games, puzzles, and cards.

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.

The place is perfect for everything J Tree has to offer from stargazing to hot tubs and a house that is not too hot, not too cold and incredible comfortable.We will come back, no doubt.
Sati was an incredibly personable host who made every effort to ensure our stay was perfect! The house is nestled away and feels like you're getting away off the grid, but shopping is only 15 minutes away. It was quiet, beautiful inside, and we enjoyed our evenings by the fire while sipping on delicious orange tea provided by Sati (seriously, how awesome is Sati?!), and looking at the clear sky and stars outside. We will definitely be staying here again!
We enjoyed our stay! Sierra Madre is a beautiful property with amazing views, both in the sky and the surrounding landscape. Sati was easy to communicate with and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Our dogs enjoyed the large, fenced in yard. We would love to stay again in the future.
This house was an extremely pleasant home to relax in. The open concept was wonderful. We loved working in the kitchen and relaxing in the same area on the couch and enjoying our evenings around the fireplace. Oh the bathroom is beautiful and functional. There are several areas outside to enjoy relaxing, reading and conversations. At night we had a good time trying to name the constellations of 1000s of stars. Property is private and quiet. Also perfect for dog owners.There were a few issues with lights not working but nothing of a great problem. Sati tried to explain.Oh the doors are challenging to lock, until Sati gave me better instructions on how they work.We look forward to returning some day.
What a great place for our first time to the desert! We loved the style of the home, the decor, and the location. The bathtub is a bath-lover's dream, and the bed is a bed-lover's dream :) We appreciated the entire property was fenced in for our dogs; we did keep them leashed to be extra cautious of the wildlife. We heard coyotes and owls into the night. Great place for stargazing. Home was well kept and clean. Host was great and communicated everything upfront; would stay here again :)
Just as described, wonderful property, we had such a peaceful weekend.
Close enough to food, stores and National Park but with lots of quiet seclusion.
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.
Driving up the drive our first impression was arriving at a small mission. Once inside, the rooms were large and well appointed. Lots of lighting and outlets and several places to sit both inside and out. The kitchen was very well stocked. Everything was functional. The hot tub was such a bonus.
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!!

Such a cool little house that doesn’t feel little at all…the great room is huge and the bedroom is really spacious and comfy. we loved the hot tub AND the soaking tub and our dog loved running around on the fenced acre lot. If you like art or culture there’s a really cool outdoor…gallery? Exhibit? I’m not sure how to classify it but it’s a short walk away. A perfect little break for me, my husband and our pup.
This bathtub is an experience of a lifetime. Indulging in the grounds plants, stars followed by the softness of the bed and the whole vibe of this home truly feels like a retreat. One of my favorite homes in the WORLD! Thank you, Sati!!🌹🌵
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.
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…
This was a very lovely property. Quiet and relaxing, excellent kitchen, lovely outdoor seating and beautiful views. Sati was very responsive to my questions. Its location is both private and not too far from town. We enjoyed breakfast out and beautiful sunset dinners in. The decor is lovely and the deep tub in the bathroom is lovely. We are going to be back again!
The host was so thorough with everything before during and after the trip. The home was peaceful, clean, comfortable, and lovely. We had a great stay and will definitely consider booking again on a return trip to JT.
We enjoyed our stay! Everything was clean and kitchen was fully stocked with all tools needed to have a great staycation in Joshua Tree! We enjoyed the fully fenced in property for our pups. We also loved getting to stargaze at night in the hot tub! Close to the national park as well so we were able to go explore. Such a perfect stay and would stay again if we were ever in the area!
Our host Sati was the best!! So easy to communicate with. This is probably one of the most comfortable vacation rentals we have ever stayed in. Loved the eclectic artsy decor. The hot tub was fantastic & great for Stargazing. Loved the layout of the home. we kept saying it feels so big yet so cozy. Our little dog loved the property as well.Great proximity to the national Park, dining and outdoor museums. I would highly recommend this vacation rental.
