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.

Pause House was incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It was peaceful and quiet. The house was gorgeous and the property had beautiful views. The stars were outstanding! Be careful on the drive in, the dirt road is a bit bumpy :) nothing my 4Runner TRD off road couldn’t handle. Will stay again!

The space was lovely and exactly what I needed. Everything was extremely clean. Not much privacy from the road but the beautiful desert lets you forget that quick. Had a quick issue with a broken shower head. Messaged and they immediately sent maintenance over and he replaced it right away and even bought me a case of beer for the trouble. Completely unnecessary but greatly appreciated.
- Review Date: 1/15/2025
We apologize for the shower head issue, but we're happy we could resolve it quickly for you. We truly appreciate your understanding, and we're glad the extra touch of beer made up for it. We'd love to welcome you back for another great stay!

Fantastic location, beautiful property, and a truly private escape. Easy access to Joshua Tree National Park and plenty of restaurants and stores close enough to feel at hand, but far enough to feel a bit off the grid. And hard to beat stargazing from a hot tub!

Wonderful stay and location can’t be beat! Enjoyed the hot tub on the cold nights looking at the stars. Especially loved the outdoor shower and bonus points for the EV charger with our Rivian! The host was very proactive and clear/easy instructions. Appreciated the little details including ground coffee ready to make in the morning. Will be booking again for our next trip to Joshua Tree.

Great stay! My partner and I chose this place to relax and unwind, and we got that. We never had an issue with power or Wifi and we enjoyed using the hot tub in the cooler evenings. We also tried the outdoor shower, though definitely seems more a plus in the hotter months.

The house is absolutely beautiful and the views are so stunning - you can see a couple houses around but it really feels very private. It's the perfect place to unwind for a few days. The hot tub and outdoor shower are amazing, like everyone says, and the whole experience felt closer to staying in a hotel for how clean and well-managed it was. We brought our own supplies for our dog, but management provided extras as well which was very kind. A note for dog people traveling around here for the first time - many of the restaurants in the area have dog-friendly patios, but almost NO restaurants offer take out or delivery. Our dog isn't great with other pets so we ended up just cooking during our stay which was very easy - the kitchen is well-equipped and there are multiple grocery stores within a 20 minute drive.
- Review Date: 12/9/2024
It's wonderful to hear the house felt like a well-managed retreat for you and your dog. We appreciate the tip about local dining options for future guests and are glad the kitchen made cooking easy. We hope to welcome you back again soon!

A good place to take a pause and enjoy the view and peace. Such a beautiful home to stay at to disconnect from everyday lives. Also A good place to reconnect with yourself or with someone special. It’s far enough to feel like it’s in the middle of no where but close enough to drive to get groceries.

If you’re looking for a relaxing desert getaway, this property is perfect. The aesthetic is gorgeous and relaxing, while the surroundings are beautiful. You’re close enough to town (10 mins to Joshua Tree, 15 to Yucca Valley) that you don’t feel like you’re in the middle of no where, but the property also feels private enough where you can comfortably relax outside. Would definitely recommend for your next Joshua Tree getaway.

Will definitely come again, the most beautiful and peaceful place to stay with beautiful views and a very clean house, we loved the most the outdoor shower, which you can take a shower outside in the middle of the night while stargazing it is just something out of this world definitely recommended worth every penny and the attention for the small details is just out of this world they even had long and pointy sticks for us to roast the marshmallows on the gas fire pit. I wish I could’ve stayed there longer but i gotta go back to work.lol

I am beyond satisfied with my stay here. It was everything I was looking for and more. When I was browsing places to stay, my mind kept coming back to this place so I decided to go with my intuition and I'm so glad I did! I really enjoyed the patio and the outdoor spaces to just sit and observe the landscape. I used almost all of the amenities during my stay and they each offered a unique and enjoyable experience. Since I visited during the heat of summer, the cowboy tub and outdoor shower were my personal favorites! I can't wait to come back here someday and recommend this place to others. Book your stay here, you won't regret it.

Pause house PM was a beautiful stay. Serene, private, and a great way to reset after a stressful few months of work in the LA bustle. We enjoyed Joshua Tree overall but our favorite part of our stay was our time at the house itself, just relaxing and spending time as a couple with our two dogs. I recommend making great use of the grill and just eating outside as much as possible. It is so quiet and a great feeling to sit out there for hours at a time. Hot tub was awesome too!!! Would love to come back some time.

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.

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!!

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.

My husband and I booked the Pause House PM for a 2 night getaway, a break between the holidays. It was a perfect place to disconnect from the busyness of the world and reconnect as a couple. The house was modern but cozy and had everything we needed for our short stay. There were board games available, which were an added perk, and the jacuzzi was a great amenity to have in the desert during the winter!

We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced at our desert home. We take guest feedback seriously and offered to correct any cleanliness issues, however upon arrival it was the dust in the outdoor areas that was of concern to you. We work very hard with our cleaning partners to keep our homes clean as well as seeping patios, but it is pretty hard to control dust and sand in the outdoor areas of the desert. We hope you understand we did whatever we could to rectify this with you and we are thrilled you had a great experience otherwise. Our aim is to provide a clean and welcoming environment for all our guests, and your comments will help us improve oversight of patios when we are able to control the desert winds! We hope you'll give us another opportunity to host you in the future.

This beautiful home had everything I could ask for and exceed my expectations. Here's what I loved - Cozy - Level 2 EV charger! - Outdoor shower was exceptional - Hot tub - They are truly pet-friendly (vs pet tolerable). - Very comfortable bed with Parachute bedding - Place is furnished with high quality furniture and kitchenware. Suffice to say that this will be my place to stay when I am back in Joshua Tree.

Excellent tiny home for a private escape from the rest of the world. Really enjoyed making use of the outdoor amenities including the cowboy tub, hot tub, and firepit. Just a few miles down the road from the West Entrance of Joshua Tree National Park so it's a good basecamp for hiking and climbing but I also enjoyed just hanging out and enjoying the home.

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.
