SkyRanch Joshua Tree - 4500sf Film Exec Retreat

SkyRanch was created by a well-known (and, yes, edgy...) film producer and a prominent screenwriter. This innovative couple used this dramatic setting for film maker retreats. American Psycho was not written here, but a number of their other films were. Renowned actors and directors have all enjoyed the creative vibes and monumental skylines of this comfortable and expansive 5-bed, 4500 square foot desert house.

The space:
SkyRanch is an art lover’s paradise. Each room is a different experience of color and style. The giant one-way mirrored windows throughout ensure you are connected to the desert yet invisible from the outside. Not that you’d need to worry however, the expansive 5 acre property offers unobstructed sweeping views of the horizon and peace and quiet.

The exterior boasts plenty of parking and a wrap around patio complete with massive covered area perfect for yoga, meditation or just getting reprive from the hot desert sun while still enjoying the outdoors. A stand alone outdoor vintage wood burning fire place is a sublime place for s’mores or keeping warm while you watch the stars.

Amenities:
- Multi-zone wireless Sonos audio throughout the home and outdoor patios
-Nobilia / Leitch / German Kitchen
-Miele Cooktop & Oven
-Bosch Dishwasher & Refrigerator
-3 King Sized Beds
-2 Queen Sized Beds
-3 full bathrooms with high end fixtures, rain shower and a stand alone massive bathtub
Guest access
Guests enjoy full access to the 4500 square foot house and 5 acre property.

Other things to note:
The pool area features a modern in-ground pool with an integrated hot tub. Heating for the hot tub is included in your rental. Should you wish to have the pool heated during the cooler season, please notify us in advance of your arrival as there will be a supplemental charge of $180 per day for this service due to excessively high fuel costs in this area. (If you are arriving in the warmer months, there is obviously no need to heat the pool!)

Please note that beds 3 & 4 in the images are in a unique Double Bedroom layout that is one large room divided by an enclosed full bathroom. Please see the photo of the floorplan in our listing for details.

Upon booking, you will receive a link with a request to sign and agree to our house rules, verify your identity, pay our refundable security deposit, and schedule a phone call with our manager. Please note that these steps are required for all guests. All steps must be completed in full prior to check-in.

Fantastic Stay
My husband and I stayed for four days at this spot in Joshua Tree. We were really impressed with the communication from Foxden Hospitality. They were very communicative and we appreciated that we had such a thorough manual detailing just about everything for the house. It was a great spot for stargazing! We enjoyed the gorgeous pool and spa. The scale of the house was fun to experience. Super comfy bed and pillows. The location of the house was amazing- you feel you are in the middle of nowhere, but within 15 minutes find yourself downtown Joshua tree. Would recommend to anyone who enjoys open skies and solitude.

Great Weekend in the Desert!
What a desert oasis! Everything about the Sky Ranch was excellent from the well-equipped kitchen to the pool and hot tub area. The setup of the house flows great and the shaded back patio was a great addition to the hot desert sun. The Sky Ranch is perfect for getaways with friends, family, or work events. We all felt like we had plenty of space. The drive into town is very easy and takes about 20min. We really enjoyed being out in the middle of nowhere but still close enough to town. Great weekend! If you are looking for a unique place to stay near Jtree, this is it!

very nice
rate is for 3 guests which is a little misleading because the listing also states that it can hold up to 10 guests. Be prepared to pay an additional $35 per guest per night for additional (above 3 guests) Overall clean and pleasant, nice amenities

Excellent Management
I had some bad luck with the pool heater, and part of it was likely a result of the weather because it was colder than normal when I was there. But, the managers of the property were superb. Everyone I spoke to were very polite, helpful, and tried to do everything they could to make sure it was a good stay (and it was). The maintenance and cleanliness of the home was great, and I would absolutely stay here again, or any of the Foxden Hospitality properties.

Incredible Experience
Such a wonderful property. The isolation and beauty of this spot and surrounding land was incredible. I fully recommend this property - not only for the gorgeous environment, but the crew was always available to answer any questions and made sure to ensure a pleasurable experience for all.

Super Cool House
This is a unique and cool property, perched on the edge of the desert with an amazing pool/hot tub. We spent 3 night with 2 other families; lots of room, and a quick drive to the Park entrance. Would recommend for a gathering with family/friends.

Birthday in the Desert
My adult kids joined us at SkyRanch to help me celebrate my birthday and kick off a 12 day National Park driving tour beginning with Joshua Tree. SkyRanch had the Joshua Tree vibe that we were looking for as well as the space for all of us (7 total) to spread out. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool as well as the sound system and fully stocked kitchen. The property manager was very responsive, which I really appreciated. There are a couple of things that would be helpful to know about the property. The last four miles are on a bumpy, sandy, unlit road which is 'interesting' to navigate if you arrive after sundown. I was glad to be driving a car with high clearance. Also, there is an additional fee per person, per night for more than three people. A large grocery store is about 15-20 minutes away. We opted to cook both nights to avoid having to drive 30-40 minutes for dinner, which ended up being one of the most fun things about the weekend. SkyRanch was definitely a memorable place to spend my birthday with my family!

Great Spot, Great Host, Great Stay
This spot is perfect for anyone wanting to get away. Very private, very peaceful and near the National Park entrance. We had our grandchildren with us even and it was a VERY easy spot to have even young children in. Pool and spa were great especially after hiking. We will be back at the first opportunity. LOVED the people we connected to to arrange entry. Instructions on everything were well done and spot on accurate. Could not be more positive about the entire experience. Put Sky Ranch at the top of your list.
