We love the High Desert for a lot of reasons - including the open spaces, lack of crowds, and dry weather that we believe make it a safe place to visit.

Dramatic views of the nearby craggy mountains create a profound sense that you’ve arrived at a private lodge inside the park. “This place was absolutely perfect. The space, the location, the views, and the amenities exceeded our expectations at every possible turn—hands down our best ever experience at an Airbnb.” -Recent Review -BEDS & BATHS- The Desert Hideaway can comfortably accommodate up to four guests in two bedrooms, making it ideal for couples or friends.

The smaller suite’s kitchenette has a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and microwave - just enough to prepare breakfast or an afternoon snack. We understand everyone has a unique coffee ritual, so the property comes equipped with a Keurig, a drip coffee maker, and a French press. -LIVING SPACE- The larger suite contains a lovely living area complete with two comfortable armchairs, a TV with a Roku, and exquisite views. Why not enjoy your morning coffee right here? “This place was amazing. The location is perfect, extremely close to the park yet feels secluded. The landscaping and parcel of land is beautiful and gives you a little room to explore while at the house. There are two hot tubs which allows for variation (I found one was nice for the mornings and one was nice for the evenings).” -Recent Review -OUTDOOR SPACE- The larger suite offers a fabulous private patio with a propane barbecue, a two-person hot tub, and outdoor furniture — including a unique outdoor bed suspended on chains from overhead beams. It’s the perfect spot for a shaded afternoon nap! From the smaller suite, you can step out through the sliding glass door to a separate private patio that also features its own two-person hot tub and comfortable outdoor seating, including another “swing” bed. The property is surrounded by a landscape of native vegetation, including numerous Joshua trees. Enjoy the magical vistas of the towering, rocky mountains rising up dramatically nearby in the park. Sit quietly outside and watch for desert birds — maybe a roadrunner will make an appearance! -ESSENTIALS- Parking is available for two vehicles in the driveway The Desert Hideaway includes WiFi, heating, and air conditioning.
