The Aerie: A Desert Retreat Designed for Connection
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
Set at the edge of Joshua Tree with wide-open desert views and sculptural boulders throughout the property, The Aerie is a fully refreshed three-bedroom, two-bathroom home designed for groups, families, and those “we should all get away” trips.
With Joshua Tree National Park just 15 minutes away, the property offers an easy balance between exploring the desert and settling into a comfortable retreat.
The home was designed around the idea of spreading out, spending time together, and making the most of the outdoor setting.
Inside, the layout is clean, open, and comfortable, connecting the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. Outside is where the property really opens up.
Designed Around Outdoor Living
The surrounding desert and boulders create the backdrop for a collection of outdoor spaces designed for different parts of the day.
Key features of the property include:
-
Pool & Hot Tub: A pool for warm desert days and a hot tub for cooler evenings, with pool heating available for an additional fee.
-
Yoga Patio & Moon Pad: Dedicated spaces for slow mornings, sunset sessions, stargazing, and unwinding under the desert sky.
-
Outdoor Dining: A covered outdoor dining area with a larger table designed for group dinners, long breakfasts, and late-night hangs.
-
Bocce Court & Lounge Areas: Spaces for guests to gather, play, relax, and enjoy the property throughout the day.
-
Fire Pit: A dedicated space for gathering at night and enjoying the desert atmosphere.
-
Desert Setting: Wide-open views, sculptural boulders, and a location just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park create a distinctly Joshua Tree experience.
A Home Designed for Groups
The Aerie sleeps up to eight guests across three bedrooms, with a king bed in the primary bedroom, a king bed in the second bedroom, and a queen bed in the third.
The primary bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom and private patio access, while the second full bathroom is located off the main living area.
The open kitchen, dining, and living layout makes it easy for everyone to be together without feeling crowded.
The fully equipped kitchen supports meals at home, while the covered outdoor dining area provides an additional space for group meals and long evenings outside.

The Outdoor Experience
This is where The Aerie really opens up.
Guests can start the morning with coffee on the patio, move into the pool as the desert warms up, spend the afternoon around the outdoor lounge areas, and end the night in the hot tub or stretched out on the moon pad watching the sky.
The property offers space to gather and space to peel off when guests need a minute.
With a pool, hot tub, yoga patio, moon pad, bocce court, BBQ, covered dining area, lounge seating, and fire pit, the outdoor spaces give guests plenty of ways to enjoy the property without ever needing to leave.
The Joshua Tree Experience
Location is a major part of The Aerie's appeal.
The property is approximately 10 minutes from Joshua Tree Village and 15 minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, with Pappy & Harriet's, Pioneertown, and the Integratron all approximately 30 minutes away.
Surrounded by desert views and iconic boulders, The Aerie gives guests a place to experience Joshua Tree while still having a comfortable retreat to return to.
The Transformation
The Aerie is a fully refreshed desert home designed around the way people actually want to spend time in Joshua Tree.
It's comfortable without feeling overly formal, spacious without feeling disconnected, and built around the outdoor experience.
From pool days and outdoor dinners to bocce games, hot tub evenings, and stargazing from the moon pad, every part of the property encourages guests to slow down, spread out, and enjoy being together.
The result is a welcoming Joshua Tree retreat that makes the most of its setting while giving groups everything they need for a memorable desert getaway.
