SkyHouse sets a new standard for the high desert. This signature architectural and inspirational hideaway is perched on 8 private acres in the heart of Joshua Tree. Enjoy spectacular views from the heated pool, outdoor shower, and indoor living room, with Joshua Tree National Park literally on your doorstep.

SkyHouse is the collective expression of lifelong friends with a passion for the desert, for art and for living well. We hope our home provides you with the same sense of awe we experience each time we visit Joshua Tree.

A perfect fusion of Wabi Sabi and modern design, SkyHouse features all the comforts of city living while retaining a deep connection to the surrounding desert and all its natural beauty.

Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Previous Guests:

“Gorgeous, peaceful, comfortable house …. We had an amazing time!
We mostly loved the proximity to the park , and spending time outside at night , swimming , enjoying the night sky ….
Will be back for sure .
Thank you for sharing your piece of heaven.” –Raya

“We had a fantastic stay at Skyhouse. This home is so comfortable and the scenery is absolutely amazing. We had a great time walking into the national park as well as walking through the garden and lighted path. This is a home that is so well manicured and taken care of. We had such a great time that we didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend skyhouse for your next trip. It will not disappoint! Thank you for a great stay.” –Devon

“Wow! We were looking for a beautiful secluded, private house and this place did not disappoint! The scenery was outstanding! If you're an early bird, the sunrises are simply surreal. The hiking from the backyard was fabulous, straight in to the national park. We mainly stayed at the house, only venturing out a few times, because we didn't want to leave our serene oasis in the desert. We cooked most meals at the house. I was very impressed that all the extras were provided, baggies, food wrap, chip clips, spices, coffee, olive oil, honey, sugar, teas, etc. They even provided clothes washing detergent, plenty of paper towels and trash bags. The kitchen was well stocked, all we had to do was get the food items. I have stayed at some Airbnb's that only provided a few things, and you had to go buy a whole container of something you only needed two out of the whole box. The town is not the attraction here, the house and setting is! If you need to recharge yourself this is the place!” —Cara

☆☆ AN INSPIRED DESIGN ☆☆
Nestled on 8 secluded acres overlooking Joshua Tree National Park, the award-winning SkyHouse is an architectural delight. Featured in Architectural Digest, this unique home was inspired by the City Library Bruges and Doug Aitken’s “Mirage” art installation and has been featured in movies such as Andy Samberg’s “Palm Springs”, national ad campaigns, fashion shoots, and music videos. The perfect fusion of Wabi Sabi and modern design, SkyHouse epitomizes comfort, elegance, and luxury – a truly magical location for a special getaway for the discerning desert enthusiast.

    This was our second stay at SkyHouse and it was even better the second time. The property is immediately next to a part of the Joshua Tree National Park, so there's only beautiful nature to see when looking out beyond the pool. All nature, everywhere! It's quiet and dark so the stars are everywhere. Enjoy the peacefulness.

    WOW! What a beautiful property and an even more amazing experience. Enjoyed every bit of the pool and hot tub, and the small hike trail behind the pool. The kitchen was fully stocked and enabled us to make delicious meals. The surround sound speakers created a lively ambience for both in and outdoors. The host was very responsive and helpful. Will come back again!

    Love love love SkyHouse. The view toward the pool is spectacular. Just the stark desert with Joshua Trees and rocks. The blue blue sky is a perfect contrast with the terrain. Dale and company are truly interactive and helpful. The three beds are very comfortable; the sitting areas are peaceful and relaxing. The kitchen is well stocked, including actual glass lock storage containers for leftovers (a rarity even in high end homes). The pool and spa are perfect for an afternoon of lounging. Will stay again, for sure!!!

    Perfect. Can’t say enough good things about the property. Close to Joshua Tree State Park entrance but secluded at the same time. Hot tub and pool were very nice. Amazing fire pit. Comfortable beds!
