Relax in the spa and enjoy a jet massage. The pool and deck seemingly float high above the desert with incredible sunset views over the Sand to Snow National Monument and black lava buttes.

With huge triple glazed viewing windows and the temperature controlled split system heat/AC in each room, the house remains nice and cool in the summer and warm through the winter months.

Where I went to school: Australia and Germany
My work: Automotive Design
I first visited Joshua Tree in 2005 and was totally amazed by its uniqueness and beauty. Deciding to buy a house in the high desert came about quite naturally after years of escaping to Joshua Tree for the weekends. I wanted a house out of the way, away from the noisy roads, preferably no houses in sight with a wide expanse of nothing but nature at the front door. Flamingo Rocks was just the place. As time goes by, I realize the magic of the high desert is drawing me in more and more every day. It's such a special and exciting place that I really want to share it through Airbnb and I hope that others too will embrace all the weird and wonderful things that Joshua Tree has to offer. I like to be as responsive and as informative as I can be with my guests so that they have a great and comfortable experience, while remaining discreet and maintaining their privacy. My personal backgrounds are from Australia and Germany.
