CURATED STAYS
A meticulously chosen shortlist of our favorite stays in the High Desert and beyond. Because an exhaustive list is, well, exhausting.
Our focus is simple: design and nature. Every stay we feature—whether a boutique inn or a short-term rental—is selected for its design integrity, its dialogue with the landscape, and its ability to offer guests more than a bed for the night.
These are spaces where architecture frames the horizon, courtyards open to desert skies, and interiors balance refinement with raw textures. They are homes and hotels that reflect the desert’s ethos: minimal yet warm, timeless yet contemporary, grounded yet elevated.
We begin here, in Joshua Tree and the neighboring desert towns, but our lens will widen over time. Wherever we go, the principle remains the same: high design, rooted in place.

Why us?
We’ve spent years telling the story of Joshua Tree, through conservation, design, photography, and digital media. We live here, know the landscape, and approach each project with the same care we bring to In Joshua Tree itself.
That means:
• Thoughtful composition and art direction
• A seamless, low-stress process
• Visuals that capture the feeling of the desert, not just the scene
