16 Joshua Tree Airbnbs to Rent for Your Next Desert Retreat - AFAR

"This off-grid desert compound might call to mind the space research facility Matt Damon called home in The Martian, complete with a Quonset hut–like dome house, plenty of solar panels, and a series of shipping containers that have been transformed into a guest house and a lounge. Outside, you’ll find a firepit, a charcoal grill, a pair of hammocks, and lounge chairs that are perfect for watching the sunset. About five miles up the road, you’ll have access to the Covington Flats section of the national park, where a dirt path leads through pinyon, juniper, and—of course—Joshua trees." - Nicholas DeRenzo
