The house is a comfortable 3 bedroom and 2 baths with large kitchen and open floorpan. Gorgeous furniture, books and artwork are everywhere you turn.

5 acres featuring breathtaking sunrises and magical sunsets. 2 of the 5 acres are fully fenced.

The interior is a meticulously designed space that features comfort and luxury everywhere you turn. This gathering spot accommodates your group or family while allowing plenty of privacy to retreat to your own space. A large flat screen TV in the living room is great for movie night.

The fully stocked kitchen has all the cooking supplies you need. The owner is a chef, so, you're in good company. Pots, pans, blender, coffee maker, sheet pans, cooking tools... everything you need is here. We also provide oil and vinegar and a full slate of spices. We supply coffee from a local favorite, Joshua Tree Coffee Company.

Spacious and impeccably clean, open floor plan– three bedrooms have very comfortable mattresses. Individual AC/Heating units are in each room. Bathrooms have shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, moisturizing lotion, towels and wash cloths.

Please note: This is a secluded stay so pack the necessities!

Wonder Valley - the best kept secret in the high desert. A scenic 20-minute drive from Joshua Tree's less-crowded North entrance, you'll be surrounded by mountains and a stillness which can only be described as magical. All this, but close enough to town for your essentials or in-town dining.

The high desert... it comes to life with it's own special magic. Fantastic sunrises and sunsets, desert critters including jack rabbits, tortoise, road runners and others call this place home.

You get total privacy and seclusion yet only a short drive to the Joshua Tree National Park entrance. So many other things to explore and do... rock climbing, mountain biking, dirt biking and ATV... killer vintage shops and great little restaurants. This is the spot where pioneers laid claims to a hotbed of gold mining and other Wild West ranch action.

We love dogs and welcome them at our home. Please note, however, we do have a limit of 2 dogs and we charge a fee of $50 for the first pet and $25 for the second for the additional cleaning, wear and tear.

Great escape in the desert

We had a great stay at this property which offered great privacy and amazing star gazing at night by the fire. The location is close to the Joshua Tree National Park which remains a hidden gem among our national parks. We have enjoyed exploring the park, hiking beautiful and unique trails, dinner at Kitchen in the Desert (29 Palms) and Joshua Tree Saloon (excellent tacos!! and relaxed atmosphere) and amazing coffee at Joshua Tree Coffee nearby. Special thanks to the host, Brian, for his excellent communications and being a great host!

Disappointed

The house was nice, if your vacation is staying inside and cooking, this house is for you. Nice kitchen with all utensils and appliances you could want. The house was clean. I was not happy with outdoor furniture, it was shoddy and in bad shape, cushions were ripped and stuffing coming out. Didn't feel safe sitting on outdoor furniture. Looks nice in the photos, not reality. Owner made a big deal of "saying" the spa would be ready for us on our arrival when we booked 2-months out... and it was not. It was cold and we had to reset breaker to get it to work (so wait to day to use). Disappointing when we travelled 12 hours and looked forward to relaxing in spa. Also, lots of sand in spa, the cover was broken and bricks were holding it in place. Owner told me lots of sand blows in the desert. Understood, maybe purchase a better cover? One that is not broken so the sand CAN'T get in? They have to truck in water to this house, so you'll need to conserve. Not mentioned upfront, but not a big deal, we try not to be wasteful and conserve anyway. I did not check the listing closely, (my fault) there is NO washer and dryer available at this house. Again, I understand, its the desert, but I feel like we paid a LOT of money for this house, I wished we picked another house.

A beautiful stay, wonderful stargazing

Had a chance to come out here for a weekend to watch a meteor shower, and we didn't have to leave the property to stargaze. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and we had a wonderful time relaxing by the fire pit.

Quiet respite with killer views in the desert

This house is very well appointed, and off the main road or any beaten path. It has stunning views of the desert and mountains, wonderful sunsets, a great hot tub and lots of space to spread out and yet come together for meals or conversation. It is a relaxing environment after a long day of hiking. We really enjoyed ourselves and the host is fantastic.

Nice, peaceful getaway

Everything was exactly as described. The house is updated and modern and it's just like being at home with all the amenities. You can see a million stars, it was really quiet, and you're a short 20 minute drive from JTNP. As I type that I'm not even sure it was 20 minutes, it might be shorter.

Way off the Grid and Adorable

We were looking for some time away with our medium pups and our adult son. Maravilla is a great “getaway” in thr middle of the desert and you’d think you were in the hills of Los Angeles with its modern and well appointed look. The temperature and the amenities are just right. The space is beautiful and easy to access ( as kind as the road is dry). The host was very responsive and easy to work with.

Great place, little far out of town but we knew that and it made for better star gazing. Everything worked well and plenty of space for 6 adults. Great communication with property manager a little trouble with the gate on arrival and he answered right away and stayed on the line to make sure we got in and everything was ok. Highly recommended

Great Place

We enjoyed our stay there. Great feel to the place great décor. The things I would like to see improve Cleaning of the dusty cabinets (witch I understand might be tricky since the sandstorms bring in a lot of dust inside) And I would have loved if the place provided with blankets that could be used outside while sitting around the fire. Honestly everything else was great. The beds were very comfortable and the whole things felt great.

Great proximity to Joshua Tree! Love the all modern house and amenities! Love everything about this place, from the decor to the cups and bowls to the comfy beds! As travelers, a comfy bed is so important! The hosts were great with providing great info and recommendations. The only downside to this location is the wind is non stop. We were able to enjoy the fire pit a couple nights and the hot tub one night. Thank you for sharing this beautiful gem in the desert!
