ACTIVITIES/ATTRACTIONS
Visitors come to the High Desert for its unique landscape, culture, and recreational opportunities, as well as for the weather - hot and dry summers and mild winters at our high altitude. Joshua Tree and the communities surrounding the Joshua Tree National Park include Flamingo Heights, Pioneertown, Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley, and Landers. You’ll be close to all the action at Pause House. Some of our favorite options available to you:

–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 in scale 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.

–Pioneertown: Step back in time to thus rustic Old West-style village. Wander through the historic buildings, visit unique shops, catch a live music performance at Pappy & Harriets, and experience the Wild West charm.

• The Integratron: New age-y healing destination with a sound bath, originally designed by ufologist George Van Tassel with the goal of reversing the aging process.

Loved how beautiful this home is, it truly looks like it belongs in a magazine. Stargazing in the jacuzzi was AMAZING, and definitely one of the highlights of our trip across country from DC. Our only complaint are the dog fur all over the sofa, many of the cups already had stains, and the smell from the septic tank (you could really smell the poo when the wind blew…). Other than that, the host was very responsive and provided an app which was very useful. Stargazing was amazing, the outdoor shower was breathtaking, and seeing wild animals like coyotes was really cool. Would definitely stay again.

This was such an absolutely fantastic getaway! The property is gorgeous, the pool is divine set in the mountains. Pure sunlight throughout the day with beautiful designer linens and black out curtains for privacy. The pool and jacuzzi were bliss. If I could give it 10 stars I would! The team is excellent and went above and beyond to accommodate me and my family & I couldn’t have been more pleased. This is a must stay!!

The Pause House PM is a beautifully designed and thoughtfully crafted getaway with plenty of privacy yet still easy access to conveniences. We loved sitting in the hot tub watching the sunset over the desert. ?? The place was very clean and well cared for, and everything was communicated clearly and proactively. Definitely recommend!

My boyfriend and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary at Pause House -PM. It was a perfect weekend getaway. We loved Pause House. It looked just like the photos and exceeded all of our expectations. Even though there were other houses off in the distance, it felt very secluded and private. We loved sitting out by the fire pit and we loved looking at the full moon and stars in the hot tub. It was a very cozy space and we loved the design. It’s a great romantic spot for couples. Perfect to disconnect from the world and connect with each other. I would highly recommend and would love to stay there again.

Modern, Cozy, Relaxing, Extremely Clean, and a perfect home away from home. I enjoyed everything during the stay. Would say that it is one of my best AirBnb experience yet when it comes to a getaway. The place is very modern, well designed and maintained. Even the outdoor tubs were very well maintained. The host is extremely responsive and friendly despite not meeting. It definitely felt like a home away from home as it is well equipped with all necessities. The view is gorgeous. We were supposed to tour Joshua Tree park but ended up spending all three days in the Airbnb itself. Definitely a lovely stay here.

This place was very sleek yet cozy. It was easy to find and the check in/out process went smooth. We appreciated having a carport to prevent the car from overheating. The amenities were great - really enjoyed the bbq, the cowboy tub, the hot tub, and the fire pit. This place is beautiful to wake up to, perfectly integrated with the landscape. This place reminds me of a hotel studio suite perfect for a couple that wants an elevated stay in the desert and will enjoy using the amenities outside to maximize the property space.

The place is amazing! So serene and beautiful! Stargazing from the hot tub is a must. So many cool places around. Pioneertown is close, good food is just down the road, yet you feel miles away from everyone. The only thing that was not the greatest was the AC, thankfully it was not super hot during the day but at night it stayed pretty warm in the house. Overall loved the place and can’t wait to go back.

The Pause House was a lovely experience. The house itself is design impeccably and feels like a high end hotel. The cowboy tub and hot tub were amazing for a relaxing afternoon and evening. Would definitely stay there again.

The place and view gave great aesthetic pleasure. The whole experience was relaxing, from gazing at the starts to enjoying the hot tub. The outdoor shower was also an experience to want to relive over and over again. If you’re looking for a place to get away from the busy city and just be…this is the place. The host was also excellent at communicating!

Had the most lovely time. It’s like staying in a home featured in architectural digest. So beautifully curated. The wood interior is striking. The patio is so wonderful with a great view out into the distant mountains. And sitting in the hot tub at night looking at the stars is worth every penny. The host is very responsive and answered any question so promptly. Will absolutely be coming back.

My wife and I were looking for a relaxing vacation for our fifth wedding anniversary. There could not have been a more relaxing place than the High-Desert in Joshua Tree! The house was beautiful, the surrounding scenery was remarkable, and the hosts were super attentive and knowledgeable, but they did not overwhelm us either! They reached out to welcome us and to inform us of the area, answered every question via text or email within minutes, and did I mention this place was spectacular?!

Absolutely loved our stay at this place. It was perfectly tucked away from the main road while being very accessible. Felt private and alone the entire time. the house itself had the perfect setup and beautiful aesthetic, combining modern minimal design with rustic furniture and accent pieces. the home appliances were very clutch with full size washer/dryer, fridge, and stove/oven. The kitchen was also fully stoked so we were able to cook every night which was nice. The outdoor shower, fire pit, grill and hot tub were an amazing addition and made for a very memorable stay hanging under the stars. it was also perfect to bring our french bulldog with us. lastly, the golden hour glow we got through the glass doors was absolutely stunning and i highly recommend you be there for that last hour of light before sunset! we really needed a getaway and couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend it. Can’t wait to be back soon.

Could not have had a better stay at this Airbnb. We had plans to hike in the daytime and go out to eat at night, and we ended up never leaving the Airbnb we loved it so much. It’s not quite as isolated as it looks in the pictures, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying every bit of our trip. We will 100% be staying there again, hopefully for years to come.

Besides that we were extremely happy with the space and amenities! Bed and pillows were super comfy.

What a great, peaceful location! The house and property are just perfect for a couple trying to relax for a few days. Hot tub works great, with a quick cool off in the Cowboy tub! Fire feature is perfect for night time relaxing. Close to town, but very private. Very clean overall and a great bed/mattress. AC works hard, and doesn't get it as cool as we would have liked, but not really that warm. It is the desert, in the summer. No issues with critters or bugs, just sprayed a bit outside to calm them down. We will certainly be back some day to enjoy more time away! Thanks!

The Pause house is great. If you are looking for an intimate spot that feels away from it all. Great spot for couples or for a lone trip to rest and reset. My partner and I had a lovely time there. We loved the cowboy tub in the day and star gazing in the hot tub at night. My only note is that if you are someone who likes to cook most meals the supplies are limited to essential kitchen items and a pretty small counter space. So if you think they might not have something you need to cook, bring it.

The studio was a perfect getaway for 2. On location, it was easy to access both into the park entrance as well as Pioneertown (10-15 min), and also had some open land trails at the end of the road, which was ideal for morning walks with our dog. The place itself was situated to feel like you were isolated, waking up to views of just the mountains and the Joshua Trees, was well stocked, and we enjoyed all the amenities of the hot tub and fire pit.
