About this property

Get away. Be inspired. This beautiful artist loft will light up your creative soul. Find inspiration in a truly unique desert loft space. Plenty of space to create as well to play and chill. Including an outdoor deck with new hot tub, cactus garden, fire pit and extraordinary nest 'wave' sculpture day bed. Just 2 minutes from the boutiques and cafes of 'downtown' Joshua Tree and 15 minutes to the national park entrance. Many hiking trails nearby. The loft sits up on the hill looking south towards Joshua Tree National Park. IG @ArtLoftJoshuaTree

Joshua Tree Done Right

Perfection. This is exactly how it’s posted in the pictures. Every single thing is labeled with custom signage or notes. Clever use of space, the artistic nature of the property is just like living in a piece of art. Will definitely come here again!

Retreat

John‘s place was exactly as he explained on the app. Plenty of space to relax after experiencing Joshua tree national park. Great little touches everywhere, loved all of the art and books and puzzles and art supplies and record player. Bring your own Travel coffee mugs and pizza cutter. Beautiful property well thought out.

10/10 - No Notes :)

We couldn’t have had a better experience in Joshua Tree! The space is just as pictured and is one of the best appointed rentals we’ve stayed in. They have thought through everything you need and have incorporated fun elements into the experience (we loved the provided art supplies and games). The hosts are communicative and want to ensure your trip is a great one. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by John Davis

I love traveling and sharing my home with other travelers. I'm also an artists and designer and strive to create magical spaces with thought and attention to every single detail. A vacation stay isn't just a place to stay the night - it should feel like experience.

Why they chose this property

ArtLoft was created out of the vision to get away, reset and surround oneself in a vacation experience that inspires, relaxes and invites play. The feeling is to invite you, the visitor into a space to reconnect with your inner child. Sit in the hot tub under the milky way after a day of hiking, play games inside or bocce ball outside, get inspired, paint, draw, write, reflect, journal, relax, find your inner 'foodie' with a chef's kitchen supplied with everything you might need to spark up a wonderful meal.

What makes this property unique

Art supplies including paints and canvas, vintage typewriter, record player, custom designed 'Nest' day bed sculpture, bubble hair chair, art loft vibe, well-stocked kitchen, BBQ, landscaped outdoor deck and yard area, front cactus garden, 2 minutes to 'downtown' Joshua Tree, sliding doors to open or close off spaces, lounge media area, tons of art books, 22 feet of workspace and chairs, rolls of paper for creative project, chalk board walls... a playground of creative things to do!
