Summary:
Nestled among boulders and within walking distance of the national park, The Landing House is a sustainable architectural gem in Joshua Tree's Monument Manor area. Featured in T List, The New York Times, this home offers a heated plunge pool/spa, 5 private acres to explore, and a unique design that blends with the natural landscape.
The Space:
"The desert has long been a place of both retreat and revelation, where words like “oasis” and “mirage” blur reality and fantasy. In Joshua Tree, Calif., the high desert community some 130 miles east of Los Angeles, a new rental property called Landing House leans into this mythos." - T List, The New York Times
The Landing House is a warm and thoughtful mix of natural materials and modernity that supports a luxurious stay while fully respecting and reflecting the untouched native landscape. Designed by the team behind Industry of All Nations, the inspiration for the house came from observing and feeling the magical natural surroundings.

The Neighborhood:
Monument Manor is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in the Joshua Tree area given its immediate proximity to the park and breathtaking vistas of the area’s signature Craggy Mountains and desert plants.
When you’re ready for some outdoor adventure, Joshua Tree National Park’s West Entrance is just 2 minutes away by car.
Searching for great eats, drinks, shops, and things to do? Here are a few recommendations in Joshua Tree Village, a 5-minute drive away:
• Start your day at The Dez, known for their espresso, baked goods, and delicious take-aways
• Marvel at the handiwork at the World Famous Crochet Museum
• Pick up lunch or a souvenir from the Joshua Tree Certified Farmers' Market, open Saturdays
• Perhaps close your day with the food, drinks and music offered at the rustic Joshua Tree Saloon
Up for a day trip? Don’t miss these area highlights - they’re worth the drive.
• Noah Purifoy Outdoor Desert Art Museum (15-minute drive) - As far from a stuffy gallery as you can imagine, this outdoor sculpture garden contains a unique collection of folk-art.

Getting Around:
While we are off a paved road, many roads in the high desert are dirt, so please take it slow. While a car is required to get around, a four wheel drive car is not, but note that roads will often have ruts, particularly after a rain.
Other Things to Note:
• POOL AND HOT TUB HEATING:
- Your rental includes heating for the in-ground pool in May and September.
- The hot tub is always free to heat.
- However, during the cooler months, there are extra charges for pool heating.

No jumping, diving, running or rough play near the pool and hot tub area. No glass can be around the pool and hot tub, there are metal cups in the kitchen to be used outside.
