7. Boulder's Hideaway (from 90 USD)
In the middle of a real desert, you’ll be driving on a windy, dirt road, away from civilisation to get to this outstanding homestead. If you ever wanted to try glamping but wasn’t sure if it’s for you, Boulder’s Hideaway is a perfect place to try something similar, but yet not so adventurous. But that doesn’t mean you won’t have fun there! The tiny, comfy cabin and the outdoor 0.5 of a bathroom gives you a little taste of adventure and desert life. The cabin has two beds and can host 4 people, so grab your friends and go try it out!

8. Glamping in Desert Joshua Tree (from 189 USD)

11. Rock Reach House
The last and the fanciest on our list is Rock Reach House. It’s one of the best Yucca Valley homes for rent. This pretty, modern, steel cabin was published in the April 2010 issue of Dwell Magazine. Surrounded by great boulders and ancient junipers the house makes a desert experience something a little bit different. It also has a lot to offer within it, like a hot tub, an indoor and outdoor shower, a fire pit, grill, washer, dryer and much more.

12. Dream Catcher Ranch
Of course, not everybody is into primitive life; sharing bathrooms, cold water in the shower, etc. Some of us want to have some luxury even while spending time in the desert. There’s no better place for that than Dream Catcher Ranch. The ranch is located in the nice shelter of the rocks, that provide a little bit of shadow on hot days. There’s also a lagoon pool among the rocks and a hot tub, to enjoy under the stars. It’s also a great picture opportunity with some rusty old vehicles on the property. Even though it’s a private place, it’s only 5 minutes away from the town!

14. The Nomad
Maybe you want to experience a little bit of another culture and want your accommodation to take you thousands of miles to Central Asia, to countries like Mongolia or Uzbekistan.

The yurt is equipped with a cooler to store your food and drinks, and there is also a private patio with a fire pit and chairs. The kitchen and bathrooms are shared.
