Good to know

Solara at Masseria Morongo, a deeply personal project set on five acres between Joshua Tree and Palm Springs. Born from a lifelong dream to create spaces that are soulful, grounding, and designed for intentional living, this light-filled home was made for golden-hour meals, open-air rituals, and sweeping desert views. The home itself is a newly built 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath retreat, designed with sustainability and efficiency at its core. Built to blend seamlessly into the desert, it offers both comfort and consciousness, inviting you to slow down and truly arrive. Highlights Include: - 3BR / 3.5BA eco-friendly desert home built in 2025 - Spacious open-plan living with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors that pocket into the wall - Modern kitchen and indoor dining area for shared meals - Three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms for privacy - Primary suite with spa-like bathroom - Seamless indoor-outdoor living design - Private saltwater spool (spa/pool hybrid — heating included) - Outdoor shower - Built-in BBQ and outdoor dining area - Multiple seating areas to relax and gather - Set on 5 private acres between Joshua Tree & Palm Springs Great location: 12 min ➔ Desert Hot Springs 18 min ➔ Pappy & Harriet’s in Pioneertown 24 min ➔ Downtown Palm Springs 24 min ➔ Downtown Joshua Tree Wide-open desert and mountain views Please note: We do not have a TV. There are 3 bedrooms with 3 beds; a Queen air mattress is available for up to 8 guests max. Inside the Home: Step into an open-plan living space where clean lines meet warm textures. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the rooms with natural light and frame endless views of the desert beyond. The living room opens directly to the patio, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors. A modern kitchen with Bosch appliances and a generous dining area makes it easy to gather for meals and conversation. Each of the three bedrooms has its own en-suite bathroom, creating private sanctuaries for rest and retreat. The primary suite features a spa-like bathroom with modern finishes, while the guest suites are designed with the same thoughtful details, comfortable beds, soft linens, and calming desert tones. Outdoor Living: The outdoor spaces are where Masseria Solara truly shines. A saltwater spool, part spa, part pool, offers the perfect spot to cool off during the day or soak under the stars at night. A built-in BBQ and dining area set the stage for outdoor meals surrounded by open desert views. Multiple seating areas invite you to relax, read, or gather as the light shifts across the landscape. The Setting: Set on five private acres of open desert, Masseria Solara offers room to breathe, and unwind with panoramic skies and distant mountain views as your backdrop. Designed for intentional gatherings and quiet rituals alike, the home is a grounding retreat just a short drive from Desert Hot Springs, Joshua Tree National Park, Palm Springs, and local favorites in Yucca Valley, Pioneertown, Flamingo Heights, and 29 Palms. This is more than a stay, it’s an invitation to experience the desert in a way that’s grounding, beautiful, and deeply memorable. Local Experiences: Enhance your stay with thoughtfully curated local experiences. Sound baths at the Integratron or with a local practitioner Massage, bodywork, or energy sessions at the house Guided desert hikes and nature walks Yoga, Pilates, or breathwork under open skies Private chef dinners and in-home dining Stargazing and astronomy tours Horseback rides through desert trails Cold plunges and wellness sessions with local experts We’d love to connect you with our favorite local guides and practitioners. --- Looking for more space? Solara has a sister property, Sylvestre, on the same grounds. Booked together, the two create a six-bedroom retreat perfect for larger groups and gatherings.

The place was fantastic and easily best Airbnb place I have stayed at so far. Only thing I would suggest is having people come through Pioneer to Otis Lane to Marcelle Rd, because the road is too rough to go through Juniper to Marcelle.

We stayed here for a girls trip during week two of Indian Wells and loved every minute of it. We specifically wanted something more remote and closer to Pioneertown, and this house was exactly what we were hoping for. Nothing disappointed. In fact, we ended up canceling our plans to go out on Friday because we were so relaxed and happy just being at the house, enjoying the beautiful pool and the seamless indoor-outdoor living. We took a walk in Joshua Tree at sundown, which was perfect, and appreciated that it felt a little cooler than Palm Springs. The house itself feels truly luxurious. Everything is thoughtfully done, from the flatware and towels to the gorgeous tile throughout. The kitchen was also incredibly well stocked with olive oil, spices, pots, pans, and even Tupperware, which made settling in so easy. We feel lucky to have found this place and would absolutely love to come back next year.

It was our first time staying in Morongo Valley, and we really enjoyed Jenn's property! The house had stunning views on all sides with great landscaping, while still feeling private. The bed was comfortable, the house was clean and well-stocked, and Jenn provided thorough and helpful instructions. Would definitely recommend!

A DESERT ESCAPE; A SLICE OF HEAVEN. This is such a find: it's QUIET (vs. places in Palm Springs); it's expansive both inside and out; incredibly well laid out. 3 bedrooms each with en-suite bathroom and a 4th out by grill. The large classy hot tub was a dream -- unlike most that are blue plastic, this felt lux; size, color and stone...great in day; great at night with stars. Outdoor furniture is super for relaxing. If you're looking for an ELEVATED, sophisticated, desert getaway with easy access to Palm Springs, Yucca Valley/Joshua Tree, this is an ideal location. My high school friend & I could easily drive to Joshua Tree Nat'l Park (30 minutes away); or Palm Springs (also 30 minutes away). I loved the house so much I didn't want to leave. My husband flew out for a few days after so I extended the res with Jenn's help. Jenn, FYI, is a supremely responsive host. I've stayed at MANY Airbnbs and this was one of the best. TAKE NOTE: the driveway is indeed *bumpy*...but worth it!

Awesome place! We really enjoyed relaxing in the house the views are great and hot tub was perfect. Everything is new and good quality they did not cheap out on anything. I would love to come back and recommend anyone (who will take care of it) to book! It’s also a great plus that each bedroom had its own private bathroom. The hist responds very quickly and gives great recommendations. We had the sound bath and facial with Dana and it was amazing. Really great way to start the new year. The bbq had a great set up too with a half bathroom. Its really on the top of the list for places near joshuar tree Can’t wait to be back.

We had an amazing 3 days at Jenn’s place. The place is super clean and had everything we could need. My girls even baked some muffins in the kitchen. It was such a nice relaxing family trip. Thank you Jenn!
