Unplug from everyday life and get back to nature in this cabin perched just two miles away from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. Start the day with a coffee as you admire the view from the giant windows and plan out your day. Perhaps you'll don your hiking boots and venture into the desert – your hosts can introduce you to a local guide who will show you the best trails away from the crowds. Or maybe you'll downward dog your way to happiness followed by an at-home massage, sound bath or meditation session – your hosts know all the best wellness gurus in this corner of California. As the day draws to a close, pour some ice cold drinks and gather your tribe on the stone terrace to watch the sunset over the wild landscape. Turn the artificial lights right down and you'll be rewarded with an epic stargazing experience, with clear skies giving you an excellent view of the heavens night after night.
