About this space

Nestled on a hilltop in the exclusive Hidden River neighborhood of Joshua Tree, this secluded sanctuary beckons you to experience the wonders of the desert. This brand-new home is on 10 private acres and features floor-to-ceiling windows that bring the beauty of the desert landscape indoors. From sunrise to sunset, bask in the awe-inspiring vistas of Joshua Tree National Park, the San Jacinto Mountains, and the iconic peak of Mount San Gorgonio, while soaking in the pool or hot tub.

-Living Area-
The living area is a perfect blend of comfort and elegance, with 16-foot accordion sliding glass doors that open up to the pool area, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Cozy up by the gas fireplace and enjoy the serene ambiance. A large smart TV mounted over the fireplace and fresh popcorn from the popcorn machine makes for the perfect movie night. A large vinyl collection for the record player, surround sound music and Sonos Move portable speakers gives you a variety of ways to set the mood. The open-plan design connects the living room to the fully stocked kitchen, making it ideal for socializing and relaxation. If you're really feeling yourself, we have a karaoke setup that you just might have to pull out and showcase your entertainment skills.

-Kitchen & Dining-
The kitchen is truly the heart of the home, and our kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare delicious meals. Modern appliances, ample counter space, tons of spices and cooking oils and a variety of cooking utensils are at your disposal. Enjoy your meals indoors or step outside to the outdoor dining area. Here, you'll find Flypaper Sal's Saloon, an outdoor bar adorned with charming bistro lights. This special space is a tribute to the owners' late wife and mother, adding a touch of heartfelt warmth to your stay.

Should you wish to have the pool heated to 85 degrees, please notify us in advance of your arrival as there will be a supplemental charge per day for this service due to high fuel costs in this area.

► October & April - $150/night

*No fee to heat the hot tub!*

Pool Heating:
Please note that we will need at least 24 hours' notice to heat the pool. Only one of the pool or hot tub can heat at once. If you wish to use the hot tub while the pool is heating, just note that the pool heating will turn off while the hot tub heats, so it will take a bit longer for the pool to get to 85 degrees. Once the hot tub is turned back off, the pool heating will resume.

Hot Tub Heating:
Please note that because the hot tub is an in-ground hot tub, it is not heated 24/7 to conserve energy. It will take around 15-30 minutes to heat to 104 degrees from ambient temperature.

Pool and Hot Tub Service:
The pool and hot tub are serviced Tuesday, approximately between 11am and 4pm. Please note that these times are estimates and may change slightly due to our technician's busy schedule. He will not approach the house but will go directly through to the backyard.

Dogs:
We welcome your dogs! Please note that there is a $100 per dog per stay fee, limit of 2 dogs maximum. Please note on your reservation if you are bringing dog(s) and how many, and we will adjust the price accordingly. There is an unauthorized pet fee of $500. Please use the provided dog sheets before allowing your dogs on any furniture. Cats and other pets are not allowed.

Firewood:
Please note that we do not provide firewood. If you'd like to enjoy the outdoor wood burning fireplace, we suggest picking up a few bundles of wood before arriving to the house.
