About this property

Gorgeous Views, 5 Acres, Sleeps 8, Hot Tub, WiFi, Close to Park!

Nestled high on a boulder-filled hillside surrounded by five peaceful acres, Zen House offers breathtaking vistas of the entire basin leading into Joshua Tree National Park.

A unique mid-century modern, open floor plan 3 bed/2.5 bath house features panoramic views in all directions, multiple private outdoor spaces and entrances, covered patios, a shady courtyard with BBQ and outdoor dining table, hot tub, outdoor shower, master bath with 6' soaking tub, high speed internet, streaming-enabled TV, DVD library and LP record collection.

Zen House is light-filled and spacious, featuring three bedrooms with queen beds, three newly remodeled baths, and a large, recently remodeled kitchen with all new appliances and cookware. Newly created upper and lower patios offer great outdoor areas to relax and enjoy sunsets, sunrises and shady afternoons in the desert breeze. Enjoy the outdoor shower, soaking tub and hot tub to view star-filled night skies.

Zen House is a ten minute drive to Joshua Tree National Park entrance, and eight minutes to the little eclectic village of Joshua Tree, offering galleries, shops, and restaurants.

Zen House has a 2-night minimum + longer stays are welcome at discounted rates!

Unless otherwise noted, prices are as follows:
1-2 guests:
Nightly -$300
Weekly- $1800

*Guests should note that both the county road to the house and the driveway are part of the natural landscape and are therefore rocky and uneven, and require slowing down and driving with care. We maintain the driveway regularly and have never had a problem getting to the house in a Prius, but some guests have suggested offering a warning about the bumpy roads.

Spring Break Retreat
What an amazing experience! So many seating options created outside. Go out to the lower patio seating to look at the stars. Honestly, a great experience.

Awesome property, great views, quiet, the stars at night!
Lovely property, mid century but new kitchen with everything we needed and new bathrooms, hot tub was perfect with the outdoor shower! Binders and small notes made everything easy. Very comfy beds! And plenty of room for 5 adults and our dog. It’s desert but very few chollas on the property to worry about with our dog. Night sky was awesome! 2 miles from the JTP entrance so that was great! Property manager wanted to know when we arrived and left- unnecessary, since we had her number if we needed anything. Would highly recommend as one of the best houses we have stayed at!!!

Beautiful
We loved this house! This is our 2nd visit to Joshua Tree and this was better than the first time. The house is beautiful and nicely updated. The kitchen has everything. The windows and the views are amazing! We loved the record player and being able to cook on the grill. The hot tub was absolutely awesome under the stars. We were there during a new moon and it was magical sitting in the hot tub looking at the Milky Way.

Truly Zen - Third visit and looking forward to fourth
Our THIRD stay at the Zen house and could not have been better! The house deserves 5 star ratings for everything - and Vera is one of the best hosts you will ever find! My wife and I are looking forward to coming back next year as we have made staying at the Zen house an annual tradition!

I came to the desert just to see the wildflowers, stumbled across a property for sale with gorgeous views, and fell in love with Joshua Tree. I'm still in love, with my views, and with the wonderful critters, the starry night skies, the bike rides and hikes in the Park, the incredible sunsets and moonrise, the Mojave Desert Land Trust, the smell when it rains, and with this whole amazing community here.

And all the wonderful desert detritus lying around has influenced my photography in a fun, eclectic, and recyclable way…

I look forward to meeting you when you visit (if I can) and sharing my love of Joshua Tree.
