About This Home

As of August 2023

The "Pink Haüs" is a hidden desert gem nestled between ethereal Joshua Trees and a captivating landscape. This magical 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom house features a modern Mediterranean aesthetic and eye-grabbing features that are sure to captivate Airbnb guests and homesteaders alike!

Step inside and be mesmerized by the highly unique pink micro-cement finish which flows throughout the home. The Mediterranean-inspired arches add a touch of elegance, while the built-in furniture creates a seamless flow between each space. Relax and unwind in the swinging egg chairs, the perfect spot to enjoy a good book or bask in the desert breeze.

One of the highlights of this enchanting home is the HUGE "swing" window that effortlessly transforms the kitchen/bar into an indoor/outdoor space. Prepare delicious meals with ease in the fully equipped kitchen featuring built-in appliances, while savoring the picturesque views of the surrounding natural beauty.

The bathrooms are adorned with luxury Moroccan tile to add a touch of opulence to your daily routine. The master bathroom also features a walled garden with our favorite cactus; a microcosm of desert serenity. The front patio, adorned with a bamboo roof, offers a shaded retreat where you can enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening cocktail, all while gazing upon the expansive mountain landscape.

Gently sway in one of the four hammocks while taking in the awe-inspiring desert vistas. As the sun sets (or rises), gather around either of the two outdoor firepits which beckon you to tell stories and create lasting memories under the starlit sky.

This is more than just a house; it's an experience that combines elegance, comfort, and the natural beauty of Joshua Tree. It is a journey of style and serenity, where every detail has been carefully curated to ensure an unforgettable experience. Designed by Vander Designs (known for the "Spirit of Sofia" hotel in Palm Springs) together with seasoned STR operators. Make this your next great adventure!
