Discover a Desert Sanctuary: Welcome to Sage & Stardust Retreat, where mystical Joshua Tree nights meet modern comfort. Tucked among giant boulders and whispering Joshua Trees in Monument Manor, our newly remodeled hideaway is less than 1 mile from Joshua Tree National Park’s west entrance (about a 2-minute drive) – meaning adventure is at your doorstep. By day, soak in panoramic desert vistas from every window; by night, unwind in the hot tub under a canopy of stars so clear you might trace the Milky Way. This secluded 2-bedroom oasis blends poetic desert charm with all the amenities for a rejuvenating stay.
Highlights you’ll love:
Hot Tub & Stargazing: A private hot tub for relaxing under crystal-clear night skies (virtually no light pollution for epic starry views). Sip wine as countless stars emerge – a truly magical desert experience.
Next to Joshua Tree National Park: Walk or drive just minutes to the Park entrance. Beat the crowds for sunrise hikes, and pop back home easily for lunch or a rest—the ultimate convenience for explorers.
Yoga Studio & Game Room: A full-size yoga studio in the converted garage invites your morning meditation or yoga practice (mats and blocks provided). The separate game room features ping-pong and lounge space – great for family fun or unwinding after a day of hiking.
Spacious, Stylish Interior: The bright, open living area with an indoor fireplace (pellet stove) and boho decor creates a serene vibe. Polished floors and large windows bring the outdoors in. Central A/C and heat keep you comfortable in any season. Starlink internet and a smart TV are available when you need to reconnect.
Sleeping Arrangements (Up to 6 Guests): 2 private bedrooms – a King bed in the master and a Queen bed in the second – plus a comfy pull-out. Sleeps up to 6 guests with fresh linens and plush pillows for all. Two full bathrooms provide convenience (one is a detached bath in the casita, handy for extra guests or post-yoga refresh).
Outdoor Living & Views: Multiple patios and seating areas for every mood. Enjoy your morning coffee on the front porch, watching a pastel sunrise paint the boulders. In the evening, grill dinner on the BBQ and dine at the outdoor table as the sky turns fiery orange. A large fire pit with plenty of seating is perfect for swapping stories and toasting s’mores under the stars. Hammocks and loungers invite you to relax and cloud-gaze by day or stargaze by night.
Family & Pet Friendly: Sage & Stardust welcomes families, couples, friends, and spiritual seekers alike. The layout offers space and privacy for groups, and the yard is great for kids and approved pets (yes, we’re pet-friendly!). Board games, ping-pong, and nature to explore will keep everyone entertained. For remote workers, a cozy dining table or patio makes an inspiring workspace (Starlink internet is provided to keep you as connected as you need).
Experience the Magic: Wake up to sunbeams and birdsong in the serene desert hills. After brewing coffee in the fully-equipped kitchen, step outside to witness the sunrise over iconic Joshua Tree landscapes – you have a front-row seat. Spend the day however you choose: wander hiking trails just beyond your door, drive 5 minutes into town for lunch and art galleries, or unroll a yoga mat in your private studio for a blissful practice. Come afternoon, challenge your friends or kids to a ping-pong tournament in the game room, or curl up with a book in one of the shaded outdoor nooks as the scent of sagebrush drifts by.
Come nightfall, the real show begins. As darkness falls, string lights twinkle on the covered patio and the desert sky explodes with stars. Fire up the hot tub and slip in for a soak – the water is warm, the air is cool, and above you the cosmic spectacle of the Milky Way unfolds. The spacious yard, free of city lights, offers an unobstructed view of the heavens – perfect for mindful stargazing or even some astrophotography. In the distance, you might hear the call of a desert owl, the howl of coyotes, or simply the profound silence of Joshua Tree’s wild expanse. It’s a moment of peace and awe you won’t forget.
After a dreamy soak or late-night stargazing session, retreat indoors to your cozy bedrooms. Sink into the king bed topped with a plush duvet, or the queen bed adorned with high-quality cotton linens – each room a calm haven with warm lighting and desert-chic accents. Two bathrooms mean no waiting in the morning; enjoy a hot shower with our complimentary organic bath products, refreshed and ready for another day of adventure.
