Amidst Joshua Tree’s Monument Manor stands The Landing House, a retreat where architecture and desert become one. Surrounded by a theater of stone, it offers sweeping views of the National Park and star-filled skies. Five untamed acres serve as a private escape, with a heated plunge pool for moments of stillness. Recognized by The New York Times, this is more than a retreat; it's a meticulously crafted atelier of nature and design.
The space
"The desert has long been a place of both retreat and revelation, where words like “oasis” and “mirage” blur reality and fantasy. In Joshua Tree, Calif., the high desert community some 130 miles east of Los Angeles, a new rental property called Landing House leans into this mythos." - T List, The New York Times

Here Are a Few Kind Words From Our Recent Guests:
-”This home was everything we could’ve asked for and more! Architecturally the home is beautiful, the decor is spot on and the surrounding landscape is impeccable! Every detail was thought of ahead of time and that made our stay extra special, we did not want to leave!” -Dylan

The Landing House is a warm & thoughtful mix of natural materials + modernity that supports a luxurious stay while fully-respecting and reflecting the untouched native landscape. Designed by the team behind Industry of All Nations, the inspiration for the house came from observing and feeling the magical natural surroundings…
The imposing rock formations and the biblical Joshua Trees, observing you as the gatekeepers of this sacred ecosystem.
To respect this unique landscape, the original architectural motivation took form as a fallen wooden branch that will weather with nature. The project eventually materialized out of poured concrete, cedar and glass - natural materials that will weather with time, requiring minimal maintenance or the use of non-organic materials.
Set on a five-acre parcel, The Landing House blurs the boundaries between inside and out with floor to ceiling sliding doors opening onto the Mojave Desert from each space. Offering maximum privacy for its occupants, one suite resides in the main structure and the second is accessed from the intimate courtyard.
The living room, dining room, and kitchen in the main structure overlook the plunge pool - a monolithic & geometric concrete form that extends into nature forming a perfectly round pool as if the geological forces of erosion had shaped it.
Burrowed in boulders overlooking the house is a sculptural landing pad (for you to decide whether UFOs land) overlooking endless Joshua Trees and the varied hiking and biking paths accessible to guests during a stay.
Every room is clad in cedar wall paneling, with custom white oak furniture pieces and organic cotton drapes in each space. There are ample books and games provided.
The modern kitchen is stocked with every baking and cooking essential, a sub-zero fridge, stainless steel counters, Wolf oven & induction cooktop, and multiple coffee brewing and grinding options.
The boulder suite – with a king size bed and bathroom– is surrounded by organic curtains, custom art and one-of-a-kind round windows.
The pool suite includes a private entrance, similar king size bed and bathroom, clothes nook and courtyard access.
