Shadow · Pool, Whirlpool, Pickleball, Boulder-Blick

Summary:

Shadow is a black modern house set against the boulders of Joshua Tree, sleek on the outside and easygoing within. Everything opens to a private courtyard, so the day moves without effort: pickleball and a few shots at the hoop, a swim, a long stretch in the hot tub. When the sun drops, the fire pit faces the boulder views. Three bedrooms, three full baths and an EV charger for arrival day. Dark lines, bright days.



The Space:

Shadow is a bold, black modern home in Joshua Tree with an indoor-outdoor open concept built around a private courtyard. Sleek lines and a laid-back feel run throughout, and the yard looks out to boulder views. Three bedrooms, two with king beds and one with an ensuite, share three full bathrooms, and a chef's kitchen anchors the house. With a pool, hot tub and a pickleball court with a basketball hoop, it is made for active groups and families who want to spend the day outside, with paved-road access and an EV charger for easy arrivals. Bring your paddle and your best serve.

-Wildlife & Safety-

The desert landscape is teeming with wildlife and natural beauty, offering a unique connection to nature, but it's important to be mindful of the creatures and plants that call this area home. Guests may encounter a variety of wildlife during their stay, and while direct encounters with dangerous animals like coyotes, snakes, scorpions, bobcats, mountain lions and other desert dwellers are rare, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and to keep a safe distance from these creatures when spotted. Additionally, the desert is dotted with sharp cacti and other spiky plants. For your safety, always supervise children, pets, ESAs, and service animals while outdoors. Dogs should remain on a leash at all times and be watched closely while outdoors, as they can wander into potentially unsafe situations with wildlife or plants. By booking this property, guests acknowledge the potential for wildlife encounters and assume responsibility for their safety and the safety of their group. By respecting the local environment and staying aware, you can fully enjoy the magic of the desert.
