House of Kuna is secluded at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Yucca Valley hills, on 2.5 acres of boulders. Lit paths lead to the hot tub, the cowboy tub, a deck in the rocks and a hammock for sunset. Inside: three bedrooms (a king, a queen, and two queens), 2.5 baths, a fireplace, a full kitchen and a yoga studio.

It is built for a group: friends on a long weekend, a family trip, a birthday or an anniversary. Bring the dog too. Joshua Tree National Park is 20 minutes away, and Pioneertown and Pappy & Harriet's are 15. For a retreat or a shoot, ask us first; parties and events are not allowed.

What guests say

“I can’t express enough how special this place is. The photos don’t do it justice. Yes, the house is beautiful but what is breathtaking are the views! We were blown away within seconds of stepping foot inside.”
Nicole, stayed Dec 2025
“The proximity to Joshua Tree National Park is key, but the house is a destination all its own. It is bigger than it looks in the pictures, and it's decorated in a rustic but sophisticated desert style.”
Jeffrey, stayed Dec 2025
“Where this property really shines is the outside area. Set amongst beautiful boulder formations with a large property to explore. Walk the lighted paths to find multiple sitting areas and a hammock perfect to watch the sunset or gaze at the stars.”
Steve, stayed Aug 2025
“The house is absolutely beautiful, we felt at home straight away and didn’t want to leave. The hosts thought of absolutely everything - from coffee pods, make up remover, first aid kits to laundry detergent - this made our trip super easy.”
Amy, stayed Apr 2026

How far is Joshua Tree National Park?

About 20 minutes to the West Entrance, and Pioneertown is 15. Black Rock Canyon, with the Warren Peak hike, is even closer. Our free desert guide has the rest.

Is it good for families and kids?

Yes. Kids and babies are welcome, and the house sleeps 8 across three bedrooms. The boulders are a natural playground, and the Discovery Trail in the park is made for kids.

Can we host a retreat, shoot or celebration?

Yoga retreats and creative groups love Kuna, but parties and events are not allowed. For a retreat or a shoot, tell us what you have in mind.

Is the hot tub heated? What is the cowboy tub?

The hot tub is heated and ready when you arrive. The cowboy tub is a big galvanized soaking tub on the deck, best at sunset.

Is there Wi-Fi and cell signal?

There's fast Wi-Fi in the house. Cell signal is good in Yucca Valley but drops to nothing inside the national park, so download maps before you go.
