The bathroom is designed for indulgence, offering a luxury soaking tub that invites you to rejuvenate in a spa-like atmosphere. It also has a shower for a quick rinse after exploring.



-Outdoor Amenities-

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Joshua Tree from our outdoor space. The house is perched on a bluff surrounded by 10 acres of land, with Joshua Tree's best sunset views. The saltwater pool, which can be heated at an additional cost, offers a refreshing escape, while the separate hot tub is built-into a stargazing deck with a fire pit and provides a soothing experience under the starlit sky. Two fire pit areas create perfect settings for cozy evenings and stargazing. Both the pool and hot tub use a salt mineral system to purify the water which reduces chlorine by 80%. The king-size daybed invites you to relax and absorb the sun's warmth, while the refreshing outdoor shower makes rinsing off easy. Enjoy outdoor games like cornhole and tetherball while you fire up the BBQ. The whimsical "mushroom lounge" patio area enhances the eclectic charm of the property. Ernie, our refurbished vintage 1971 VW Bug is parked next to a custom "Follow That Dream" sign installation by Olivia Steele, offering the perfect photo opportunity.



-Surrounding Area-

Joshua Tree Improper is nestled in the serene landscape of Joshua Tree, offering incredible desert views and a tranquil atmosphere. To explore the natural beauty of the area, visit Joshua Tree National Park: 800,000 acres of mystical beauty. Joshua Tree National Park is one of the world’s most incredible natural desert treasures. Sweeping, grand, and populated by granite monoliths and voluptuous rock and boulder formations, this quiet land, conducive to meditation and roaming, was carved by extremes in climate - wind, rain and an ever-present, relentless sun. Diverse forms of plant life are found everywhere, but none as unique or prevalent as the park’s namesake: the Joshua tree, standing majestically across the vast topography.



The charming shops, bars and restaurants of downtown Joshua Tree are just 15 minutes away, and on the way, stop by the jaw-dropping "Transmission" installation, just a 3-minute drive from Joshua Tree Improper.
