House Details
With 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, this contemporary Joshua Tree home offers plenty of space for you and fellow book lovers to unwind. Picture yourself relaxing by the sparkling pool or soaking in the jacuzzi with a novel in hand, surrounded by peaceful desert views. There's even a mini golf course and bocce ball court for a fun break between chapters!
The open living spaces and sleek modern design create a welcoming environment, making it easy to curl up and get lost in a good book beside the electric fireplace (with a fire pit outside as well). Plus, you’re just a short drive away from Joshua Tree National Park, if you’re craving some inspiration from the great outdoors.

Retreat Book Pick
Lost and Lassoed by Lyla Sage
While this is the 3rd book in the Rebel Blue Ranch Series, it can absolutely be read as a standalone. However, we highly recommend reading the first two as they’re fun, lighthearted, and sexy reads. These books take place in a small-town with those cowboy vibes that will certainly get you excited for our retreat location in Joshua Tree.
The release date for Lost and Lassoed is November 5, 2024, and if you haven’t already pre-ordered, we will send you a copy the week it’s released!
