We celebrated my spouse’s birthday with this stay at Lara’s property and it was exactly the type of serene and beautiful experience we were looking forward to. The house is indeed quite remote, but there a couple of neighbors nearby which made us feel more at ease. The house itself sits on an incredibly spacious plot of land and we really enjoyed taking strolls around the property every day. We were disappointed not to have seen more wildlife during our stay, but we were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of one of the resident owl’s swooping down from a telephone pole right in front of us!We really appreciated the variety of spaces throughout the house and took the most advantage of the den, the record player, and the dining area with its expansive windows facing the backyard. I would’ve loved to have used the outdoor amenities more, but we did manage to enjoy the hot tub and fire pit on one of ours nights.

This home is a perfect desert retreat! We booked it as the last leg of a 2 week journey and it was the best way to unwind and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Very spacious, with comfortable beds, and the kitchen has all the amenities of home. Although the bed was super cozy and comfortable, I wish the other blankets and towels were more plush. I appreciate how they match the aesthetic of the house, but the throw blankets we found weren’t very cozy. That said, the rustic decor and feel of the house is very appropriate for the desert landscape. (Our friends stayed nearby in a very modern home with a bubble tent outside and we thought The Ocotillo was more true to the overall vibe and gave the experience we were looking for).Getting to the property is a little tricky, even with the provided maps. Definitely heed the advice and arrive in the daytime, as the “markers” are difficult to distinguish in the pitch black of night, especially since we didn’t know what the markers looked like. Turning on the satellite view on our GPS was a life saver. I’d recommend driving an SUV or something with a higher suspension.The property is large enough where it doesn’t even feel like you have a neighbor. The sky was so clear and so many stars visible with the naked eye. A fancy telescope is provided, but we didn’t use it. The link provided to instructions for it didn’t work so we found a YouTube video for it and it was overwhelming for us. The onsite art gallery was inspiring and beautiful.

Our stay was very enjoyable! Looks just like the photos. The hot tub and star gazing was amazing after a long day hiking in the park. We arrived at night due to timing of our trip and it was very challenging to navigate the road leading up to the house, so agree that it’s best to arrive during the during the sunlight hours if you can. Definitely recommend a car with four wheel drive. I would recommend others to stay here!

This place is amazing. The decor is wonderful, and the space was very comfortable for three older ladies. Open and bright…but rooms for privacy. Spotless. Comfy beds. The best setup kitchen I’ve ever seen in a rental. Absolutely everything you can possibly need.We were there for bucket list stargazing, which was incredible! Loved the hot tub. Toured (in the air conditioned car) Joshua Tree National Park (too hot for hiking)…loved it! We didn’t expect it to be so beautiful! Lora is a great hostess and was very responsive.If you stay here, (and you definitely should!) pay attention to the directions she carefully gives you to find the place. Don’t plan to arrive after dark! This place exceeded my expectations. Wonderful!!!

Check-in was seamless and the house looks just like the photos inside and out. One thing the photos can’t capture is the expanse of the land surrounding the property. There a house next door on the driveway side (which is nice actually so you’re not 100% alone) but no direct views so it still feels very private and remote. The back and other sides of the house look out onto open land. On the property and into the horizon you’ll find palo verde, mesquite, and Joshua trees, and creosote bushes (often associated with petrichor - think the aroma of desert rain). We brought groceries and the kitchen is fully-equipped so we were able to make all of our meals. We had such a good time cooking and dunking in the cowboy pool during the sunlight hours and watching the Perseids meteor shower at night. The office is a great place to focus (good Wi-Fi access) and to keep any necessary work things separate from vacation things. Lots of good books and records, comfy beds, and everywhere you look is a little vignette of art and nature. Which leads to the gallery - such a cool addition to a vacation space. The exhibition right now focuses on photography and natural elements, really beautiful work. Love this place!

Get away no tv no people

How star skies show on painting and television was a dream of ours and this location made it come true!It feel like its in the middle of no where with lots of bumpy dirty riads which will make you question about having a four wheeler or a big truck or suv. DOUBLE CHECK EMAIL & MESSAGES FOR PROPER ROUTE! If not given contact host.Once you make it with the code that they tell you before you get in you will instantly feel at ease. The floors and cool concrete which is perfect for the summer. Empty yet full of good energy with random pieces of art and funture near by. There is one restroom on the side and two comfortable bedrooms separate. The kitchen is in the middle and living room right there is the back with comfortable seats table and a record player with lots of records to choose from!Sliding the glass door to the back there is a beautiful view with jacuzzi, metal tub, outdoor table, bbq grill and seats and a fire pit. You want firewood? No problem! They have a little convenience store not too far where you can buy firewood, charcoal and other things you typically find in a liquor store ot 7-ELEVEN[but! no fresh hot food! Remember that you are staying in a dessert stay. There are wild plants and animals(including bugs) so do NOT be surprised to see little critters around when you turn on the light to the restroom or wake up in the morning to find a little uninvited guest in the kitchen.Jacuzzi? Amazing! Looking at the stars outside? Out of this world!Lovely stay.

Wonderful desert hideaway

The Ocotillo was exactly what we were looking for when we visited Joshua Tree. It's a lovely, relaxing property very near the park. We enjoyed hiking the isolated desert around the house and never saw a single person. We all enjoyed the Jacuzzi and cowboy pool. Nights were especially lovely on the back porch. Highly recommend!

Desert getaway

Had an amazing stay! Went with my husband and infant (6months). The pool was fantastic and super clean, the rooms were cozy and well done and the kitchen had everything we needed. Wouldn’t recommend if you have a small child who is mobile as the floors are concrete and uneven in places but for us it was perfect. Great added touch of the art gallery in the back, was super cool to see art from the park and then hike in the park seeing all the formations from the gallery. Directions for entry and how to find the place were easy and great communication from host

Perfect Girls' Weekend

The property is located a mile down a dirt road (we were able to easily navigate in sedans), which offers the perfect balance of seclusion and access to the park and nightlife of Joshua Tree. The home was thoughtfully furnished and the hot tub overlooking the landscape was perfect. Would re-book in a heartbeat!

Unique secluded desert home experience

The home is very unique and we thought it very cool that it is often used as an artists retreat. Make sure you check spam for the detailed check in information. We are glad we arrived in the daylight as you must take an unmarked dirt road to get there. The home is very open with window coverings only in the bedrooms so prepare for that. Usually when I travel to new places I like to close myself in at night so that felt a bit uncomfortable for me to not be able to draw any blinds/curtains etc especially as the property is very isolated save a neighbor separated by chain link fence. We tried the hot tub but unfortunately the water was set at too chilly a temperature to enjoy. I imagine if you came during the hot time of year, it would feel great, but there was still snow in the mountains and it only got up to the mid 50’s while we were there. The location had great access to Joshua Tree and that’s what we came for. Additionally it was a quick few minute drive to town for shopping dining etc. Make sure to hit the snake bite for a burger and beverage while in town. Very cool unique open large peaceful spot! Very comfy beds and linens.

Artistic stay in the high desert

We really enjoyed our stay at the Ocotillo. Highlights for us were star gazing, sunrises, and the comfortable beds. The Joshua Trees on the property and in the surrounding area are great too. There are washboarded dirt roads required to get to the property, but we didn't have any difficulty with them in an AWD sedan.

Über den Gastgeber

Zu Gast bei Lara Hoad

Bild für Gastgeberprofil
Hello, I'm Lara. I'm an architect originally from London but have lived in Los Angeles, California for many years and also own The Ocotillo House and Gallery, located in Joshua Tree. My favorite thing to do is to escape to the desert to immerse myself in nature away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I have traveled the world many times over and can honestly say that Joshua Tree National Park and surrounding area is one of the most magical places on the planet. I absolutely love spending time there and it brings me so much joy to be able to open the house for others to enjoy too.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

The neighborhood is tucked away up on the mesa and although it feels remote it is only a short drive into town and centrally located for all best desert attractions. Being on a dirt road, it is very peaceful with an abundance of wildlife. The evenings are filled with hooting owls, bats and the occasional distant pack of howling coyotes. There are a handful of neighbors to one side of the property and the other side is vast open desert with hiking trails that stretch for miles with distant mountain views.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

The Ocotillo is a cherished desert retreat and I have put so much love into it by filling it with unique objects and furniture that have been collected over the years. The main house is open plan and spacious with views of the landscape from each room and it continues to be used as a place of inspiration for those that vacation there as well as the artists who take part in the annual residency program. In the adjacent building you will find the art gallery which guests will have private access to during their stay. The current show is ROCKSCAPES and runs till early 2026. The house and gallery sits on a 2.5 acre perimeter fenced property filled with Joshua Trees, Mesquite and Palo Verde trees and is surrounded on three sides by vast open areas of government land. Nature is abundant with a variety of birds and animals that live on and around the property including, chipmunks, jackrabbits, owls, road runners and woodpeckers. Centrally located for access to all the high desert attractions including Joshua Tree National Park, Pappy and Harriets, Pioneer Town, La Copine and The Integratron. All communication will be directly me, Lara Hoad the owner and designer of The Ocotillo house and gallery to ensure a personal experience. There are no remote management companies or third party hosts.
