A personal vehicle is necessary to get around in this area - rideshare apps are not guaranteed.

Pool Heating Fee:
Should you wish to have the pool heated to 85 degrees, please notify us in advance of your arrival as there will be a supplemental charge per day for this service due to high fuel costs in this area. If you'd like the pool heated for multiple days, we ask that days be consecutive to conserve energy, thank you! Pool heating is not usually necessary May through September.

► May through September - $150/night if needed
► October & April - $200/night
► November through March - $250/night

No fee to heat the hot tub!

Pool Heating:
Please note that we will need at least 24 hours' notice to heat the pool. Only one of the pool or hot tub can heat at once. If you wish to use the hot tub while the pool is heating, just note that the pool heating will turn off while the hot tub heats, so it will take a bit longer for the pool to get to 85 degrees. Once the hot tub is turned back off, the pool heating will resume.

Hot Tub Heating:
Please note that because the hot tub is an in-ground hot tub, it is not heated 24/7 to conserve energy. It will take around 30 minutes to an hour to heat to 104 degrees from ambient temperature.

Pool and Hot Tub Service:
The pool and hot tub are serviced Monday & Thursday, approximately between 11am and 4pm. Please note that these times are estimates and may change slightly due to our technician's busy schedule. He will not approach the house but will go directly through to the backyard.

Local Experiences: Relax, Adventure, Connect:
We’ve handpicked an incredible selection of local vendors to enhance your Joshua Tree stay, offering a mix of relaxation, adventure, and everything in between. Whether you’re seeking relaxation with sound baths, yoga sessions, meditation guides, in-home massages, facials, aromatherapy or the convenience of a personal chef of caterer, you'll find options to elevate your experience. For thrill-seekers, explore rock climbing adventures, dune buggy rides, or horseback riding. Other unique experiences include guided stargazing tours under the breathtaking desert sky or guided hikes accompanied by mini donkeys!

All vendor details are available in our guidebook upon booking, making it easy to craft your ideal getaway. Many services can come directly to the house, ensuring a seamless and unforgettable stay!

Desert Wildlife & Safety Tips:
The desert landscape is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, offering a unique connection to nature, but it’s important to be mindful of the creatures and plants that call this area home. Guests may encounter a variety of wildlife during their stay, and while direct encounters with dangerous animals like coyotes, snakes, scorpions, bobcats, mountain lions and other desert dwellers are rare, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to keep a safe distance from these creatures when spotted. Additionally, the desert is dotted with sharp cacti and other spiky plants. For your safety, always supervise children, ESAs, and service animals while outdoors. ESAs/service animals should remain on a leash at all times and be watched closely while outdoors, as they can wander into potentially unsafe situations with wildlife or plants. By booking this property, guests acknowledge the potential for wildlife encounters and assume responsibility for their safety and the safety of their group. By respecting the local environment and staying aware, you can fully enjoy the magic of the desert.

Cleaning Fee:
100% of the cleaning fee goes directly to our hardworking cleaners.

Damage Waiver Policy
Each reservation requires either a refundable security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver

Late Check Out
Any unauthorized late check-out beyond the 15-minute grace period will incur a $100 fee for the first hour, with an additional $100 charged for every hour thereafter.

We live locally in Joshua Tree and are available when needed - we are just a message away at any time!

This was the most relaxing stay I've had at an Airbnb. The beautiful salt water pool and hot tub with amazing desert views were a highlight, along with the very private location of the house. With virtually no neighbors in site, it's the retreat of your dreams. And, while the house feels very remote, it's actually perfectly located for short drives to Joshua Tree National Park, Pioneer Town, and lots of great restaurants and bars. The house is simple and sleek with a lovely kitchen and air conditioning that keeps you comfortable. I'm already planning my return...you won't regret booking this house for your next trip.

The Refuge exceeded my expectation's. It is a beautiful house in the desert with the best views. The pool and jacuzzi were nice and private. There is also bbq grill and fireplace outside. It’s so much to do you won’t want to leave to do anything else during your stay. It’s definitely the perfect get away. I can honestly go on and on about this place. The host provided plenty of helpful information and was always available when needed. I would highly recommend this host and place to anyone. I can’t wait to book again. It is a nice peaceful get away with everything you need!

We had an amazing, peaceful stay about 15 minutes from Joshua Tree, resturants and stores. It was close to everything we wanted, yet somehow felt like we were in the middle of nowhere in the best possible way. The home is beautifully appointed with comfortable beds, quality linens, and a clean, modern design. The high ceilings and large windows throughout bring in so much natural light, and the full wall of sliders opening to the backyard and pool area really elevates the space. Communication was excellent. Anytime we had a question, the response was immediate and helpful. Ending each day in the pool and spa was the perfect way to unwind. The property is incredibly quiet and serene, with only a few distant homes scattered far enough away to maintain a true sense of privacy. If you're looking for a relaxing desert escape, this place absolutely delivers. If visiting the area, we would love to stay again.
