Private guest house on the grounds
The Casita
A two-bedroom guest house with its own kitchen and accordion doors that open straight onto the lazy river.

Size
Private desert lot
The whole resort, to yourselves
One booking at a time. No shared walls, no neighbours, no other guests.
Sleep that actually resets you
Blackout quiet, real beds, a hot tub under trees instead of a parking lot.
Your real total in two minutes
Live nightly pricing, itemised. Hold your dates free for 24 hours, no card.
Private, but still in the middle of it
The Casita sits on the same grounds as the Main House with its own front door, its own kitchen and its own living room. Accordion doors open directly onto the lazy river, so stepping out of bed and into the water takes about ten seconds.
Two proper bedrooms
A queen primary with an ensuite bathroom and a second queen guest room with access to a full bathroom. It suits the couple who wants a quieter corner, grandparents who go to bed earlier, or a facilitator who needs a room away from the group.
How it books
The Casita is offered as an add-on when you book the Main House, which is what takes the property from eight comfortable sleepers to twelve. Ask about it during planning and we will price the two together.

Before you ask
Questions guests ask first
Do we ever share the property with another booking?
No. One booking at a time. The 3 private acres, the trails, the fire pits and the yoga deck are yours for the length of your stay.
What does it cost to hold dates?
Nothing. We hold your dates free for 24 hours while you check with everyone else, and no card is needed to ask.
Can we add breathwork, sound baths or a chef dinner?
Yes, and it is the reason most guests book direct. You add sessions while booking and they appear on one itemised total, no vendor chasing.
Is it really adults only?
Yes, by intention. Maximum 18 overnight adults across the whole property, which is what keeps it quiet enough for the wildlife to behave normally.
How far is it from the parks and from Los Angeles?
Ten minutes to downtown Joshua Tree, fifteen to the west entrance of the National Park, and about an hour from Palm Springs.
