Moonstone Bungalow · Pool, Hot Tub, Sauna, 2 Homes

Summary:

At Moonstone Bungalow, the house is as much of a draw as Joshua Tree itself. Two beautifully styled homes share 2.3 fully fenced acres designed for group getaways, with poolside afternoons, friendly competition on the courts, and outdoor movies you can watch right from the hot tub. With seven bedrooms, plenty of room to spread out, and activities around every corner, it's the kind of place where staying in becomes the best part of the trip.



The Space:

The beauty of Moonstone Bungalow is that a big group never has to follow the same schedule. Some can spend the afternoon playing basketball or pickleball, while others settle into the sunroom with a book or enjoy a little downtime in the casita. Inside, generous gathering spaces, soft archways, natural wood, and thoughtfully chosen furnishings give the homes a relaxed, design-forward feel. Large windows bring in the desert light and mountain views, while the spacious layout makes it easy to be together without feeling on top of one another.

-Outdoor Amenities-

There's enough happening outside at Moonstone Bungalow to fill an entire vacation. Start with a friendly pickleball match or a game on the full-court basketball court, then cool off in the pool while the rest of the group claims the loungers. The pool even has its own bathroom and shower nearby, making it easy to spend the better part of the day outdoors.



For a slower pace, alternate between the sauna and cold plunge, stretch out in one of the hammocks, or relax in a hanging chair beneath the pergola. The cold plunge is cleaned and left empty before each stay, with a hose available for filling. Guests who want an icy plunge should plan to bring their own ice.



As evening arrives, the outdoor spaces take on an entirely different personality. Gather around the custom fire pit, share dinner beneath the covered patio, or settle into the beanbag chairs for a movie under the desert sky. The hot tub faces the outdoor screen, so you can enjoy the movie without ever leaving the warm water.



With 2.3 fully fenced acres, expansive mountain views, and several distinct places to gather, the backyard feels like a destination of its own.



-Living Area-

The sunroom is one of the home's most inviting spaces, with a wall of windows that fills the room with natural light and opens up views of the surrounding desert. A deep sage-green sofa, sculptural woven chairs, warm wood accents, and carefully curated artwork create a space that feels stylish without sacrificing comfort. It's an easy place to linger over morning coffee, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a quieter moment away from the action.



When the group is ready to settle in together, the second lounge offers an entirely different atmosphere. An oversized sectional wraps around a generous coffee table, with a large TV for movie nights and plenty of seating for everyone to get comfortable. With multiple living spaces, guests can enjoy different activities without competing for the same room.



-Kitchen and Dining-

The spacious kitchen makes cooking for a crowd feel like part of the vacation rather than a chore. A large custom concrete island anchors the room, providing plenty of room for preparing meals, laying out appetizers, or keeping the conversation going while dinner comes together.



Warm wood cabinetry, woven pendant lighting, and clean contemporary finishes give the space an inviting, understated character. The kitchen comes fully equipped for preparing meals, with a stove, oven, refrigerator, and the essentials for everyday cooking.



An adjoining dining area makes gathering around the table easy, whether it's a relaxed breakfast before exploring Joshua Tree or a home-cooked dinner after a full day outside. For meals in the fresh air, the covered outdoor dining area offers another welcoming place to bring everyone together.



-Bedrooms and Bathrooms-

With seven bedrooms spread across two separate homes, Moonstone Bungalow gives larger groups the flexibility to vacation together while maintaining a little personal space.



The main house features five bedrooms and three bathrooms, while the casita has two additional bedrooms and its own bathroom. Across the two homes, five bedrooms feature king beds, one bedroom has two queen beds, and another has a double bed.



The primary bedroom also includes a dedicated workspace for anyone who needs to catch up on a little work during their stay.



The bathrooms are thoughtfully finished, with contemporary fixtures and clean, comfortable interiors. One features a freestanding soaking tub, a spacious glass-enclosed shower, double vanities, and beautiful patterned tile flooring. A fifth bathroom with a shower is conveniently located in the pool area.



-The Casita-

One of the property's greatest advantages for group travel is its separate 1,100-square-foot casita. With two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a dedicated workspace, it provides a comfortable second home base for guests who appreciate having their own space.



It's particularly well suited to extended families, couples traveling together, or anyone who prefers a quieter place to retreat while still sharing the larger vacation experience. Everyone can come together for meals, games, and time outdoors, then enjoy a little independence at the end of the day.



-Game Room-

For groups who love a little friendly competition, the entertainment doesn't stop at the outdoor courts. The game room features an 8-ball pool table and shuffleboard, offering another place for everyone to gather, challenge each other to a game, and keep the evening going.



Whether your group spends the day exploring Joshua Tree or decides there's simply too much to enjoy at home, Moonstone Bungalow makes it easy to fill the days with activity, relaxation, and plenty of time together.



-Surrounding Area-

Joshua Tree National Park is the draw for hiking, climbing, scenic drives and sunsets among the boulders. Downtown Joshua Tree has shops, restaurants, galleries and a golf course. The wider area offers live music in Pioneertown, sound baths at the Integratron and wide-open desert under dark, starry skies.
