About Us

The JTH is a place to reflect, reset, and create in awe inspiring natural locations. We currently host guests in individual homes in Joshua Tree, California near Joshua Tree National Park and at a small inn in Tucson, Arizona bordering Saguaro National Park.

The Joshua Tree House began in 2015 while we were living in a city and found ourselves craving a creative space to reset out in nature. When we opened that original house up for others to stay we found that we were not the only ones who were craving a place like this. It booked up so much that we were no longer able to go ourselves... and it got us thinking.

Often as we’ve traveled we found that we had to sacrifice either design or nature in our accommodations, so we set out to create spaces that celebrate both.

The difficulties of the past couple of years in this world have created an even greater need for nature’s power to heal. We’ve never felt more grateful to be able to offer that time and space to reflect and reset for our guests. Our hope is that during a stay with us you'll feel at home, reconnect with nature, and celebrate the ordinary moments as something truly special.
