Home in Joshua Tree, CA

Welcome to The Joshua Tree Resort (aka “The Lazy River House”), an exclusive retreat that combines the serenity of nature with the indulgence of a private amenity-filled resort. Nestled in the heart of Joshua Tree, this four-bedroom residence stands apart as one of the only homes in the high desert with its own private lazy river - a fluid centerpiece designed for total relaxation. The property offers panoramic mountain views, a complete wellness circuit, and immersive indoor-outdoor living.

Flowing seamlessly through the home's architecture, 20-foot fold-away glass doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out. Mornings begin with sunlight pouring into the open-concept great room, where desert-inspired interiors meet modern comfort. The chef's kitchen is appointed with professional Thor appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a refined espresso bar for slow mornings or group entertaining.

Outside, the property unfolds into a series of private experiences. Drift through the lazy river, relax in the hot tub, or complete the rejuvenating cycle of sauna and cold plunge. A yoga deck and zen garden offer space for quiet reflection, while multiple fire pits and lounge areas invite long evenings beneath a canopy of stars. For playful moments, the garage game room includes a pool table, darts, arcade games, and an 86” Smart TV, while the three-hole putting green and outdoor theater create effortless spaces for gathering and fun.

Each of the four bedrooms has been designed with a sense of minimal luxury - clean lines, soft textures, and restful tones inspired by the desert landscape. The primary suite features a Cal king bed and ensuite bath, while three additional bedrooms with queen beds provide comfort and privacy for families or groups. Find a full size convertible couch & twin air mattress in the game room for additional sleeping options.
