Wander Joshua Tree Spellbound

Cell service availability varies in the high desert. We recommend taking note of the directions to the home, WiFi password, and access codes beforehand. Cell network strength can vary by topology, time of day, weather, and whether you’re located inside or outside of a vehicle or house. Please be prepared by enabling wifi calling or downloading a VOIP program.

The desert is home to a variety of amazing creatures, including coyotes, insects, mice, snakes, and other wildlife. It is incredible for those who love to nature-watch from afar, but may not be for everyone. Use caution and do not touch wildlife. Avoid leaving food outside (including residue in grills or fires), secure all garbage, and keep doors and windows closed. 

Quiet hours are from 10 PM to 7 AM. We kindly ask that you refrain from hosting parties or creating excessive noise during your stay, as we strive to maintain a peaceful environment for both our guests and neighbors. Amplified outdoor sounds are strictly prohibited.

This Wander is a single-level home with no stairs.

This home follows a strict maximum occupancy rule. Please make sure that the total number of guests accompanying you (including both children and adults) doesn’t exceed the indicated maximum occupancy above to avoid cancellation of your stay and additional fees.

Many roads in the high desert are dirt roads. Although a four-wheel-drive vehicle is not required, drive slowly and watch out for ruts on the road, especially after rain.

The pool outdoors is open for heating at an additional fee of $150 per night from May to September, $200 per night on October and April, and $300 per night on November, December, and March. Please note that the pool cannot be heated on January and February.

Please contact the Concierge team at least 72 hours before your arrival if you would like the pool heated during your stay. The heater may only be powered on once during your trip, and the maximum temperature would be around 85 °F.
