About this property

DILIM - Designer Desert Retreat

Welcome to Dilim | Designer Desert Retreat

Escape to Dilim, a thoughtfully designed modern desert retreat in Landers, California, where bold architecture, peaceful seclusion, and unforgettable nights beneath the stars come together to create a one-of-a-kind Mojave experience.

Inspired by the Filipino word for "night," Dilim celebrates the beauty of dark skies, intentional design, and the quiet moments that make travel memorable. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a weekend with friends, or a peaceful escape to recharge, Dilim offers a boutique stay unlike any other.

Sleeps Up to 4 — No Additional Guest Fees

Your reservation comfortably accommodates up to four guests with no additional guest fees. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with family, or with friends, you'll enjoy the entire retreat without surprise charges for additional guests.

Pet Friendly — No Upfront Pet Fee

We know pets are part of the family, so there is currently no upfront pet fee for well-behaved furry companions.

We simply ask that pets are supervised and that any accidents or excessive mess are cleaned up promptly. If our cleaning team determines that additional cleaning is required due to pet-related accidents or excessive mess, a $50 post-checkout cleaning fee may be assessed. Any such charge will be supported by photos for complete transparency.

Luxury mirror steam shower

This little house had all the perfect little thoughtful touches everywhere from the beautifully mirrored bathroom, antique indoor tub, to the chosen book collection, and items like binoculars and blankets. The hot tub was perfect for relaxing and taking in the amazing desert landscape and mountains, and it is in a remote location (be prepared for the unpaved roads) to be able to see millions of gorgeous stars at nighttime. Ben was very quick with helpful communication. As a solo female traveler, I was comfortable and would love to stay here again!

This place is amazing. One of the things I really appreciated was how well-kept the kitchen was. It had everything you would need to cook an amazing dish, along with 2 fun cookbooks. The hot tub was a great temp and easy to use, and the TV had all the best apps already loaded so you didn't have to sign into your acct. ( I hate that).I wish there was a soccer ball to kick around because there is so much open space on the property lol I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Legit an amazing place.
