The eponymous Geodesic Dome is of course the star and the most unique feature of the property, but it also features a stylish main house that’s straight out of a contemporary design magazine. The moment you walk in, you’ll feel at home thanks to the subtle sophistication of minimalist modern flair. Tasteful pops of earth tone hues, luxury finishes and materials, geometric patterns and natural fibers add texture and personality throughout. Panoramic windows and dual skylights provide plenty of natural light into the open concept floor plan which includes plenty of places to gather inside or out without ever feeling separated.
OUTDOORS:
The private outdoor oasis consists of a Pergola with misters for hot afternoons and Edison lights for cool desert nights. Take in some rays on the chaise lounge chairs & hammock, enjoy a sunset dinner and gather around the sunken fire pit to share stories and laughs. Then take it to the polyhedron dome to recenter and recharge! It's perfect at any time of day or night for a quiet conversation or meditation thanks to the included climate control. Comfy poufs and pillows allow you to easily configure the lounge space how you want for an energizing yoga session or a peaceful meditation.
Don't forget to fire up the hot tub with two motors, massaging lounge chair, foot massage jets, and waterfall to relax your tired muscles after a vigorous hike up Ryan Mountain or through Lost Palms Oasis in the National Park (5 minutes away!). Then curl up in the dreamcatcher chair.
SLEEPING:
The bedrooms feature luxurious linens, memory foam mattresses, dramatic accent walls and art inspired by the surrounding area. All bedrooms are located on the West wing of the home down the hallway with the enclosed glass Cactus Museum, allowing for the early sleepers to rest while the rest of the group convenes in the common areas.
Primary Bedroom — California King size bed with Apple TV and en-suite bathroom.
Middle Bedroom — Queen size bed.
Back Bedroom — Queen size bed with Apple TV.
Music Room — Pull-out sofa (Full size).
ENTERTAINMENT:
Sing along to the Best Songs Ever with the keyboard and guitar in the Music Room or take a closer look at the beauty of Cassiopeia through the telescope. Call stripes at the Billiard Table in the Arcade Room and have a showdown to 8 ball corner pocket or kick it old school on the vintage arcade with multiple game options including Ms. Pacman, Frogger, and more! Nothing’s too Taboo (the game, that is) in Joshua Tree. Turn the LED disco ball on while streaming your favorite music video from the Apple TV above the electric wall-mounted fireplace for a groovy ambience. With a bar table and lounge seating, there's room for everyone in the gang!
FEATURES:
This is a Smart Home equipped with e-locks for self check-in, 4 HDTV's with Apple TV, and hi-speed wifi (150 mbps). Our modern, open-concept kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, wine cooler fridge, cocktail bar, new counter-tops and cabinets equipped with condiments, spices, and all of your cooking & travel necessities.

You will notice that cell service is hard to come by in our secluded desert setting. Don't worry—consider it an invitation to unplug and fully immerse yourself in the natural beauty around you. We recommend planning ahead to make the most of this serene escape from the digital world.
