​​​​​​​Our Property has been recognized by Desert Magazine (based in Palm Springs, California) and awarded the honor of being named one of the Top 3 Best Airbnbs. We are also the only Airbnb listing to have graced the cover of Desert Magazine as a special featured property of the year — an achievement we're extremely proud of.

The space
The entire home has been thoughtfully remodeled to blend modern comforts with the vintage charm of the 1950s. Enjoy the timeless beauty of exposed beams and midcentury-inspired design, tastefully complemented by modern vintage furnishings and artwork sourced from our artist friends living in Asia and Africa. The unique combination of old and new creates a welcoming, stylish atmosphere perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Three bedrooms - including a primary king suite with workspace - provide the perfect balance of privacy and comfort.

The kitchen boasts a large window overlooking the majestic boulder mountains, and is equipped with new appliances including a gas stove, double-door refrigerator, microwave, and coffee machine. The dining table expands to seat eight, making it ideal for family meals or group gatherings. Large windows across the back offer panoramic views of the large pool and surrounding desert.

Outdoors, the energy shifts to resort-style relaxation. A large private pool anchors the backyard, set against dramatic boulder mountain views. Spend the day soaking up the desert sun, gather at the dining patio for shared meals, or stargaze under vast night skies. Whether as a creative escape, a family retreat, or a launchpad for exploring Joshua Tree, Desert Muse is a home designed to inspire.
