Welcome to Masseria Morongo, a private desert retreat on five acres between Joshua Tree and Palm Springs featuring two distinct homes, Solara and Sylvestre. Two full kitchens make shared cooking easy, and a 16 foot indoor dining table seats everyone at once. Booked together, the properties create a spacious six-bedroom, six-bathroom compound with multiple outdoor gathering areas, two private pools, and sweeping mountain views. Perfect for family reunions, retreats, or intentional getaways, the combined homes balance modern design with sustainable building practices for a grounding, luxurious desert stay. Large sliders open to shaded patios and multiple outdoor lounges arranged for morning sun and evening shade. The compound layout balances connection and privacy, with long mountain views setting the backdrop for meals and slow evenings under the stars.

Other Details to Note

Pet Friendly: We're pet friendly! Two well-behaved pups allowed. There is a $125 pet fee, paid at time of booking. No pups on the furniture and no pups left alone in the house or in the yard and please dispose of any pet waste. Check in/Check out: Check in time is 4 pm and check out time is 11 am. Roads: The roads are all paved until the last short section to the house, which is dirt/sand with some rocks. It's accessible to all types of cars, although cars that are very low to the ground can have an issue. Wildlife: The desert is a wild place and probably different from what you're used to. If you are very sensitive to insects (including bees), mice and other desert creatures - it may not be for you. If you leave a door open, animals, flies, bugs and more might run in. We love the nature that surrounds us and so do most of our guests, but just a friendly reminder that we are indeed in the desert. Please review our cancellation policy closely. If you’re worried about the possibility that you may need to cancel after the refund period is closed we highly recommend adding travel insurance to your booking.

Beautiful location, stunning stars at night, gorgeous sunsets and sunrises, and having two houses was incredible so some friends could stay up late and could laugh and be loud while others could get sleep in quiet. The outdoor spaces with grills, showers, bathrooms, and loads of space were perfect for our big group and our pictures outside look fantastic. The private location allowed us to feel separate from the world, which was also perfect. We loved our stay here!
