The Joshua Tree House Living Room

The Joshua Tree House

Our namesake property, The Joshua Tree House, is a 1949 two bedroom, two bathroom hacienda located centrally in Joshua Tree, California. Surrounded by over 100 Joshua Trees, you’ll find both privacy and convenience to the center of town and its offerings: locally owned restaurants and shops, and the weekend farmer’s market. It is available to rent and was designed by Sara Combs and Rich Combs.

About The Joshua Tree House

In 2015 we found and fell in love with this charming historical home, and spent the rest of the year renovating the space to honor its history and warm energy. Before we began renovations, the house already had incredible bones—in fact we fell in love with the space before we ever stepped foot inside originally having had found it through a pixelated Craigslist ad: for sale by owner. If you’re interested in the renovation process, you can see some before and after photos here.

After we completed renovations, we listed the house on Airbnb to share with others who also craved time to reflect, reset, and create. We found there was so much of a desire for this experience that soon we were unable to stay at the house ourselves (without carving out time months in advance). Long story short, we ended up moving to Joshua Tree full-time into a separate home to focus on creating experiences for others to enjoy in the desert (read more about our ideal day in joshua tree). We have since also designed the Casita, and the Hacienda available for stays and photoshoots.

The Joshua Tree House is available to rent on Airbnb year-round, and sleeps up to six guests. Located just ten minutes from Joshua Tree national park’s west entrance, this is a place for dreamers to reflect, reset, and create.

Joshua Tree, California

Located in the high desert of southern California, the town is easily recognizable by its namesake tree. Bordering Joshua Tree national park, the town of Joshua Tree is a small community made up of artists, musicians, and explorers. Upon entering town you’ll be greeted with a laid back energy and small locally owned businesses such as Joshua Tree Health Foods, the Joshua Tree Saloon, Crossroads Cafe, Country Kitchen, Bkb Ceramics, Joshua Tree Coffee Company, and Instant Karma Yoga.

Just outside of Joshua Tree we’d also recommend visiting Shop on the Mesa, Pappy & Harriet’s, la Copine, the Integratron, and Cedar and Sage yoga studio.
