About this property

Stargaze from the hot tub! A boho desert retreat

Come to Sahara Madre for a complete desert experience. This private, fully fenced mission-style sanctuary offers a quiet and elegant get away. The location is one of the most loved things about this property. Enjoy the stillness of the desert and marvel at the expansive mountain views.

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.

A blow up queen-size mattress adds flexibility for extra guests.

The kitchen is fully equipped to make your evenings in a breeze to cook.

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.

Remote oasis in comfort

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.

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.

wonderfully relaxing

My boyfriend and I loved Sati's place since we opened the doors. This was the perfect spot to get away and enjoy the quiet. The space is beautiful. We enjoyed the fireplace every night, while cooking in the spacious kitchen. Eating breakfast at the table next to the bay window gave us the most refreshing morning light. We enjoyed the spa bath, the hot-tub, the grill and the starry night. Very quiet and secluded. We will be booking again. Thank you!

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.
