Hotel California • Pool, Spa, Sauna, Yoga, Views

Summary:

Welcome to Hotel California by The Cohost Company, a secluded five-bedroom desert retreat on 2.5 fully fenced acres above Morongo Valley. Surrounded by breathtaking 360-degree mountain views, this private oasis features a pool and spa, sauna, outdoor bathing area, yoga deck and fire pit. Perfectly positioned between Palm Springs and Joshua Tree (great location to do both!), it is a place to escape, reconnect and settle into the stillness of the desert.



The Space:

Hotel California is a colorful, thoughtfully designed desert retreat surrounded by mountains and open sky. Modern furnishings, playful accents and a relaxed layout make the home feel welcoming, while the secluded setting creates a genuine sense of escape.



The main house offers four bedrooms, comfortable gathering spaces, a fully equipped kitchen and three smart TVs for relaxed evenings at home. A detached guest suite adds a fifth bedroom, private bathroom, loft and game room with a pool table.



Outside, the property unfolds across 2.5 fully fenced acres with a private pool, built-in spa, sauna, yoga deck, outdoor bathtub and shower, fire pit and sweeping views in every direction. With plenty of room to gather and plenty of quiet corners to retreat to, Hotel California is ideal for friends and families seeking the best of both Palm Springs and Joshua Tree.

-Outdoor Amenities-

The expansive outdoor space is the soul of Hotel California. Surrounded by uninterrupted mountain views, the fully fenced 2.5-acre property feels peaceful, private and far removed from everyday life. The private in-ground pool is approximately four feet deep and can be heated during the cooler months for an additional fee. Beside it, the built-in spa provides a warm place to unwind at the end of the day, with complimentary heating available upon request.



A private sauna, outdoor bathtub, outdoor shower and elevated yoga deck create a serene wellness experience in the middle of the desert. Spend the afternoon lounging beside the pool, practice yoga with a mountain view, then gather around the propane fire pit as the sun disappears behind the surrounding ridgelines. The property also includes a propane BBQ and generous outdoor space for relaxing beneath the wide-open sky. Because Morongo Valley can experience strong winds, pool umbrellas are not provided.



-Living Area-

The inviting living area blends modern desert style with comfortable furnishings and thoughtful pops of color. It is an easy place to gather after a day in Palm Springs or Joshua Tree, whether you are settling in for a movie, sharing drinks or planning the next day’s adventure. Three smart TVs provide access to streaming apps such as Netflix and Hulu using your own accounts. A dedicated workspace and satellite Wi-Fi are also available, although connection speeds may vary because of the home’s remote mountain setting. The detached guest suite offers another space to relax and play, complete with a pool table, loft and private bathroom.



-Kitchen & Dining-

The full kitchen is equipped with modern Café appliances, including a refrigerator, oven, stove and microwave. Cookware, pots, pans, dishes, cups and utensils are provided for preparing everything from a quick breakfast to a relaxed group dinner. The kitchen’s open, welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to cook together and enjoy slow mornings before heading out to explore. Coffee and basic starter supplies are provided.



A propane BBQ is available outside for grilling with the mountains as your backdrop. Please note that the former outdoor mini refrigerator has been removed, but the full-size indoor refrigerator remains available.



-Bedrooms & Bathrooms-

Hotel California accommodates up to 10 guests across five bedrooms and seven beds.

► Bedroom 1 features one king bed

► Bedroom 2 features one king bed

► Bedroom 3 features one queen bed

► Bedroom 4 features two queen beds

► Bedroom 5 is located in the detached guest suite and features two queen beds in the loft, a private bathroom and a separate entrance.



The property includes four bathrooms, giving larger groups plenty of space and privacy throughout their stay.



-Surrounding Area-

Hotel California is tucked into the mountains above Morongo Valley, offering a secluded home base between two of Southern California’s most iconic desert destinations.



Head down the Morongo Grade for restaurants, galleries, architecture and poolside culture in Palm Springs, or travel into the High Desert for vintage shopping in Yucca Valley, live music in Pioneertown and the creative energy of Joshua Tree Village. Joshua Tree National Park offers unforgettable hiking, rock climbing, scenic drives and stargazing among its namesake trees and monumental rock formations. After a day of exploring, return to the stillness of the property for a soak, a sauna session or sunset from the yoga deck.



Guest Access:

The entire house and property are yours to enjoy! Please note that there is a locked supply closet that houses supplies for the rental.



The large gated driveway can accommodate up to 10 vehicles, but all vehicles must only be parked inside the property gates.



The Neighborhood:

Hotel California sits on a secluded 2.5-acre mountainside property in Morongo Valley.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The general take away was everything is either a bit or on its way to being very run down. It was all clean enough, floors, kitchen, linens, and bathrooms. But even then, visible wear and tear (visibly dirty couch, grimey tiles, and hard to close kitchen cabinets). The hot water heater, we found, was initially turned off, but even when we turned it back on, the water never really got hot in the showers. The pool, while I understand we are in the desert and exposed, seemed dirtier than we would expect. The casita had similar wear and tear (the pool sticks were missing the tips and therefore were not functional, and the shelves seems seconds away from falling) but did have hot water. The only saving grace was the responsiveness of the host.
