I don’t think I’ve ever gotten so many messages asking about the house we stayed in, but 10/10 can confirm we will be renting Casa Blanca by Fieldtrip again! It’s a gorgeous (and secluded) architect’s dream; the custom-built home features a two-story atrium and let me say…the views from the floor-to-ceiling windows are seriously breathtaking. You can take in the sunset of Joshua Tree or get clear views of the night sky — and maybe even a shooting star (or three!). Because of the open floor plan with a spacious living room and 30-foot curved sofa, it really is a great place for friends and family to gather in comfort. For those who want to soak in the sunshine and immerse themselves in nature, the outdoor deck has an oversized soaking pool, jacuzzi spa, outdoor shower, large fire pit, and dining area — all surrounded by boulders and a cactus garden. We’re talking 2 acres of desert terrain as far as the eye can see. It’s desert meets luxury with high-end design details, appliances, and amenities. And, for those who need to pop onto their laptop to get some work done while on the road (like me!), there are two dedicated workstations. I loved that it came with a fully stocked kitchen and outdoor grill, too. Perfect for slowing down, relaxing, and enjoying an evening in. Did I mention there’s even a terrace perfect for yoga and it comes with yoga mats? Bonus: It’s dog-friendly and so much fun for kiddos!

I have a whole guide on what to do in Joshua Tree. As for the property, the pool, jacuzzi spa, fire pit, and desert trails are all ideal things to partake in for a relaxing desert getaway. Quick Note: A word of caution with anyone with young kids, the pool doesn’t have a gate around it — and the deck doesn’t have a fence, so it’s family-friendly in that it’s huge and has a lot of rooms but there are some safety things to be aware of if you’re there with young kids.
