About this property

Stargaze from the hot tub! A boho desert retreat

The house offers endless views from the double glass doors in the living room with a panorama of jutting hills in the national park. The master bedroom, boasting a king-size bed, lets you witness both sunrise and sunset from its vantage points – a true retreat.

Experience luxury in this modern master bathroom, featuring a deep soaking tub and a refreshing rain shower. The spacious great room is the perfect spot for cooking, dining, and entertaining, equipped with an HDTV, DVDs, board games, puzzles, and cards. (A blow up queen-size mattress adds flexibility for extra guests.)

The kitchen is fully equipped which invites your culinary creativity.

Soft bedding and plush towels are provided for your convenience.

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.

Perseids Meteor shower put on a show
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.

Joshua Tree Getaway
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!!

This place is a gem. It was utterly and absolutely relaxing. Clean when we arrived, easy check-in, the owner was very communicative. The house is comfortable--has a great kitchen, tons of natural light, and a hot tub outside that's perfect for chilling out. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful Home in the Desert!
We had an amazing time here!! Everything was beautiful and clean, with positive energy and good vibes. Easy to find, felt safe and secure, lovely decor, gorgeous floor to ceiling windows for night time star gazing. Best environment to come back to after a long day in Joshua Tree National Park. We will absolutely stay again!!!

A Great Couple of Nights in J-Tree
The place was perfect for our couple of nights hiking in Joshua Tree. It's nicely secluded and quiet outside of town, with great views during the day. It was quite chilly while we were there, but the heaters kept us nice and warm along with the hottub. Plenty of towels and kitchen was well stocked for cooking. You're also just a short drive into town or getting into the park.

Wonder full
The house was lovely, with good size rooms and well appointed. We loved watching the sunset and seeing the milky way at night; it was so quiet. The proximity to the Noah Purofoy outdoor museum was great. His work is remarkable. I would love to return to Sahare Madre.

About the host

Hosted by Sati

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Sati. I originate from the east coast, Philadelphia is my home town.

I've been in love with Joshua Tree since back when I first moved to CA in the 90's. I used to come and camp in the park and rock climb with friends.

Since then I have been fortunate enough to purchase a few properties. I enjoy creating a lovely space for others to come experience all the the Joshua Tree area has to offer.

Why they chose this property

When I saw this property I was struck by the uniqueness of the design. The fact the it is on a large lot which keeps the neighbors at bay and that it is situated around the corner from the Noah Purifory Outdoor Artsite were the clinchers for me.

What makes this property unique

Sahara Madre, a beautiful mission style house, is far enough out of town to feel the seclusion of the desert yet close enough to still get to things when needed.
