Good to know
Mars Landing is made for easy group trips where everyone gets their own space. With four ensuite bedrooms, you’ll have comfort and privacy built in, plus a layout that still feels connected. The main living area is open, bright, and designed for hanging out, cooking, and slow mornings. A 30-foot glass door slides completely open, so the whole house flows right out to the pool deck and desert beyond. Views are everywhere. Outdoor Living This is the good stuff: swim in the sun, soak in the spa at sunset, then move to the fire pit when the temperature drops. The boulders, Joshua trees, and mountain backdrop make it feel cinematic, but still calm and private. Entertainment + Amenities A separate recreation area keeps the group entertained with ping pong and foosball, and Starlink makes it easy to work, stream, or stay connected without drama. Great Location 5 mins ➔ Grocery stores 8 mins ➔ La Copine 9 mins ➔ Joshua Tree Saloon 10 mins ➔ Pappy & Harriet’s 15 mins ➔ Joshua Tree National Park Quick Note on Road Noise Please note the home is located just off a busier road, so you may hear some road noise when outside. It can be more noticeable on weekdays and just before and after holidays. For most guests it hasn’t been an issue. The upside is the convenience. You’re close to shops, restaurants, and everything you’ll want to explore, which makes getting around easy. 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 Private 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.

No pups on the furniture and no pups left alone in the house (unless crated) or in the yard and please dispose of any pet waste. Pool Heat: Spa heat is included in your reservation but if you'd like to have the pool heated, please notify us in advance of your arrival as there will be a supplemental charge of $225/day for this service due to high fuel costs in this area.
