Description
Overlooking Coyote Hole and framed by sweeping boulder and mountain views, this active, fully furnished short-term rental sits just minutes from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance, offering a rare combination of privacy, design, and access. Set on nearly 2 acres, Desert Dawn blends contemporary architecture with the surrounding landscape. Expansive glass doors fill the home with natural light and create an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The thoughtfully designed layout features two private bedroom suites, each with its own en-suite bath. The spacious primary suite includes an oversized soaking tub and direct access to a private gated courtyard, while the second suite offers a separate casita-style entrance for added privacy. The open living, dining, and kitchen areas flow directly onto a large concrete patio surrounded by mature, lush desert landscaping. A beautiful trail of lavender lines the patio, creating a soft, fragrant pathway through the garden and adding color and texture to the cactus and native plantings. The outdoor spaces are designed for the full Joshua Tree experience, with a jacuzzi, fire-pit table, outdoor dining and BBQ area, multiple lounge areas, an EV charger, and a private enclosed dog yard. Fully fenced for privacy, the property offers quiet desert living while remaining close to downtown Joshua Tree, the National Park, and the surrounding protected landscape. Offered fully furnished with interior and exterior furniture, décor, kitchenware, linens, and other turnkey essentials, Desert Dawn is ready to continue as an income-producing short-term rental, serve as a weekend retreat, or become a full-time desert residence.
