The Land In The Sky Retreat

Two homes on 5 beautiful acres at the edge of the earth. Indoor and outdoor spaces designed for gathering, feasting and creating in connection with each other.

Enjoy a grand piano, classic vinyl and an oversized bathtub. Then venture outside to explore a stone labyrinth, hot tub, hammock and fire pit in a vast and stunning landscape.

These two beautiful homes have 6 bedrooms spaced out across big open floor plans that match the expanse of the surrounding Mojave Desert.

The main living spaces are designed to be cleared out and repurposed for workshops, retreats, meditations and creative projects.

The bedrooms and living spaces are filled with windows that let natural light and beauty pour in during bright sunny days. At night a million stars fill the sky and paint the milky way like a water color against the great dark expanse.

The main house has a kitchen that is properly outfitted for cooking and feasting. The giant dining table, built from a retired bowling lane, easily sits 16. A gas range is accompanied by quality knives, pots, pans, crock pot, blender and all the right tools to cook and share big family style meals.

A grand piano holds court in the living room alongside a sound system with built in speakers and a curated collection of new and classic vinyl. An oversized bath tub sits perched on a cedar pedestal in the master bedroom looking out across an endless landscape.

The second home boasts two more small bedrooms, another master and a second bathroom with a gorgeous marble shower. Giant windows present unobstructed views of the surrounding mountains from every bed. With french doors opening to patios facing both north and south, the main space becomes a portal to the outside.

Established trees create shade and privacy and an abundance of birds. Covered patios, lots of outside furniture and tables offer places to rest, watch and connect. A stone labyrinth provides ritual for quiet contemplation. Soaking in the hot tub on a cool winter night is the perfect end to every day.

These homes were designed with family, community and gathering in mind. They are beautiful structures in an immense and stunning landscape that we are so happy to share with you.

You have access to the entire fenced 5 acre lot and both homes. There is only 1 neighbor nearby. You have both houses, the hot tub, wifi and kitchen.

You will have the place to yourself. We will send you everything you need digitally to check in, enjoy and check yourself out.

Most of our neighbors are plants and animals. There is one house nearby though it is mostly out of view. We are located 20 minutes from either park entrance. This peaceful oasis rests in a seemingly endless landscape and offers truly incredible views of the mountains and desert.

One of the great things about this house is it’s quiet secluded location. It also means getting here is a bit of a journey. The house is located between the towns of Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms about 8 miles north of Hwy 62. The last 1.7 miles are dirt but you will not need a 4 wheel drive vehicle.

Really nice spot, great desert views. Great stargazing. My friends and I enjoyed our stay here.I personally really liked the little stone labyrinth, and the sense of intention and meditativeness that came with it.I like that these houses really feel livable and lived in. Many other rental houses just feel like an empty space that someone threw some furniture in. This one feels more like a home. The kitchen and dining spaces in particular feel very practical and usable, including a full spice drawer.The beds are standard ikea fare and a bit on the firm side, so be prepared for that. But still comfortable.(The piano was, unfortunately, disastrously out of tune, and probably needs a bit of care and attention. But it wasn't a big deal. I'm guessing we just visited during the off-season.)The nearby roads are not just dirt roads, they're washboard roads, be ready for some rattling! It's worth the trip though.

The location is great if you're looking for remote desert skies and proximity to Joshua Tree National Park and the Integratron. We enjoyed the off-road experience a lot!We were a group of 11 people, 6 adults and 5 kids. We brought a bunch of outdoor games for the kids and they had a blast with plenty of runaround space.The two homes are in pretty good condition, though the beds are very uncomfortable, and one of the two showers was unusable (quick to flood). Definitely bring extra paper towels and other paper products with you for a large group.

Private, cozy and supremely relaxing

Our stay was great and the process of getting in and getting out couldn’t be easier. We loved how spacious the houses and property was and we really loved the sense of isolation it came with. Plenty of opportunity for fireside chats and stargazing, would happily stay again!

Peaceful Getaway

A group of nine friends gathered for a meditative communion in the desert. The houses were lovely and open, and the property was quiet and spacious. Beautiful views. We especially enjoyed the labyrinth, outdoor fire pit, jacuzzi under the stars, giant kitchen table, piano...! A truly fantastic rental!

Perfect getaway

This property is exactly what you would expect from the listing. It’s a really nice secluded desert property with gorgeous views and super comfy spaces. The hot tub was amazing and the rooms were fully accommodating for my friends and I. We had some issues with internet and various small appliance use, but the host was super on top of responses and was able to help us with everything. Could not have asked for a better weekend :)

Great place for a family getaway

Our families had a great stay! The 2 houses are super nice and open. One of my favorite things was the little deck- it was a great spot to sky watch. Would definitely stay again
