Here is a recommended place to stay in the Joshua Tree desert.
If you are road-tripping along the West Coast like we did, it is definitely worth setting aside a day for this.
Our itinerary went from Antelope Canyon to Las Vegas, then included a stopover in Joshua Tree before heading back to LA.

Joshua Tree is absolutely stunning—it’s well worth the visit! 🤩
The accommodation features a four-person layout (two bedrooms) with an additional sofa bed available.
It comes equipped with essentials like a swimming pool, kitchen, and washing machine.
We bought groceries at Walmart and cooked our own meals there. 🥘
❗️❗️ You really must bring your own food, as the area is quite remote—basically the middle of nowhere.
At night, you can see a sky full of stars; with no light pollution in the desert, the vast, starry expanse is truly breathtaking! 🏜️🌠

On the drive back to LA from Joshua Tree, you’ll also pass by
Desert Hills Premium Outlets.
I highly recommend stopping there; it’s a huge outlet mall. It’s best to plan a full day for it after checking out, as it’s only about a 45-minute drive from Joshua Tree.

Finally got to visit the Stahl House after more than a month. This iconic residence built in 1960 sits atop the Hollywood Hills, quietly overlooking the entire city. The structure barely has defined boundaries, seamlessly blending into California’s sunlight and breeze. I never knew living could feel this unbound and free.
Members of the Stahl family personally give tours, sharing fun stories about their lives here, which lends the Stahl House a warm, human touch. It is both a work of art and a vessel holding precious memories 🩵
