Late for the Sky · Walk to JT Park, Hot Tub

Summary:

Trails run from the backyard of Late for the Sky straight into Joshua Tree National Park, and an official walking entrance waits farther down the street. Hike from the door at first light, rinse off in the outdoor shower, grill on the wrap-around deck, then take the hot tub as the sky runs through its colors. Inside this modern steel house, glass sliders open every bedroom to the deck and a fireplace waits for cool nights. Don't be late for sunset.



The Space:

Late for the Sky is a modern steel home set against Joshua Tree National Park, with trails from the backyard into the park and an official walking entrance farther down the street. Walls of glass and a warm cedar ceiling make the whole house feel like a lookout, and sliding doors open the living spaces to a private wrap-around deck with cable railings and desert views. Inside, an aqua sectional, a leather lounger and a white fireplace add a playful retro note to the clean lines. Three bedrooms, two California kings and a king, share two bathrooms and sleep up to six. Sleep with the bedroom slider open and wake up to the desert.

-Outdoor Amenities-

The wrap-around deck is the heart of the house. Lace up early and follow the trails from the backyard into Joshua Tree National Park, or walk down the street to the official walking entrance, across from the front of the home. Come back to a rinse in the outdoor shower, tucked behind its wood screen. Pour tea at the little table on the side deck, then claim a teal-cushioned chair and a pair of binoculars for the afternoon.

As the light softens, fire up the propane BBQ and set the long outdoor table with the mountains in view. Save the hot tub for when the sky starts changing color. A Tesla charger is available.



-Living Area-

Sun pours through floor-to-ceiling glass under the cedar ceiling. Stretch out on the aqua sectional, settle into the leather lounger beside the fireplace with a book, and light the fire as the evening cools. High-speed Wi-Fi and a dedicated workspace are there when you need them.



-Kitchen and Dining-

White cabinetry, an island facing the desert and a tea station with a kettle make the kitchen bright and easy to use. Cook on the induction stove, with a dishwasher, toaster, cookware and dinnerware on hand, and gather at the round dining table beneath its pendant light. On warm nights, grill on the propane BBQ and eat out on the deck instead.



-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-

Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2 each have a California king bed, and Bedroom 3 has a king bed. Bedrooms open directly onto the deck, so you can slide the door open and step straight outside. The primary bedroom has floor-to-ceiling windows facing the desert and a built-in desk with floating shelves, a nice spot for writing a postcard while the house sleeps. There are two bathrooms, one with a glass shower.

-Wildlife & Safety-

The desert landscape is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, offering a unique connection to nature, but it's important to be mindful of the creatures and plants that call this area home. Guests may encounter a variety of wildlife during their stay, and while direct encounters with dangerous animals like coyotes, snakes, scorpions, bobcats, mountain lions and other desert dwellers are rare, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to keep a safe distance from these creatures when spotted. Additionally, the desert is dotted with sharp cacti and other spiky plants. For your safety, always supervise children, pets, ESAs, and service animals while outdoors. Dogs should remain on a leash at all times and be watched closely while outdoors, as they can wander into potentially unsafe situations with wildlife or plants. By booking this property, guests acknowledge the potential for wildlife encounters and assume responsibility for their safety and the safety of their group. By respecting the local environment and staying aware, you can fully enjoy the magic of the desert.
