Secluded and Sexy, Big Swimming Pool, Garden and Cave on Boundary of JT. Park

Photographers and lovers will love the solitude and landscape beauty, surrounded by trees, flowers, boulders, and caves. Imagine that you are in the Mediterranean and simultaneously on the Joshua Tree National Park. Chill out in a grove of fragrant cypresses and pines surrounded by giant outcroppings of stone. Plunge into a 36 ft. x 20 ft. x 6 ft deep saltwater pool with scents of jasmine, rosemary, and cypress. Cut roses, rosemary, Desert Bird of Paradise, Wisteria, Arizona Blue cypress, and French lavender to take home with you. The garden has heavenly scents unlike any other place in the desert. Hike directly in the national park to see bobcats, hawks, owls, foxes, lizards, and Gambels quail. There are three bedrooms and a sofa sleeper in the living room which is good for one person, or a child. There are many cushions to make an additional pallet bed in the library. The kitchen is furnished for chefs. Cozy up on a carpet in our three-chamber cave over a wood fire. We provide a carpet to make the cave cozy. We like to host children who adore animals and explore caves.

Explore our Valley of the Moon caves and canyons immediately behind the house where you'll not see other hikers. Absolute privacy. Explore dramatic rock formations of the National Park without getting into your car. Ideas for hiking trails from the house directly into the park are provided during our tour upon your arrival. Villa dei Fiori is the home of a filmmaker and author who has created a haven for solitude and serenity. Bighorn sheep are often seen on the boulders over the house. Bring your your camera and binoculars. We provide pruners to cut fragrant rosemary, French lavender, Carolina jasmine, and Arizona Blue cypress to take home.. Pruning shears are by the kitchen door and we have many vases for making bouquets. Rejuvenate at Villa dei Fiori with aroma therapy and tranquility.

The pool is open 12 months of the year but the best swimming time begins in April and May and lasts through mid-October, after which time it begins to cool down due to falling night time temperatures. Joshua Tree is often 12 degrees cooler than Palm Springs. The hot spa heats to 104 degrees. The propane barbecue is on the kitchen terrace just 12 feet from the kitchen adjacent to the laundry room. Two dining terraces overlook the boulders and a Joshua Tree. You surrounded by the heavenly scent of Arizona Blue cypress, Desert Bird of Paradise, Tuscan rosemary and French lavender.

Relaxing stay
My family had the best time at the Villa. My adult kids pretty much spent the entire week in the pool. We hiked the 49 palms hike, which was so pretty and saw so much wildlife in the area. Dale was an excellent host and we enjoyed hearing about his plans and the new Villa.

Beautiful, Unique Oasis in the dessert
The villa was beautiful, spacious and unique. I wished we could have stayed longer than 1 full day because we didn’t even get to lounging poolside. We did enjoy exploring the caves, the wonderful hot tub under the stars, and even meeting the resident roadrunner who greeted us at breakfast. Dale is a spry young man who has lived a full life and is full of stories! He’s built something amazing here.

Profound property!
Life becomes rich when you stay in beautiful places and meet interesting people. If you’re a creative family and would like an experience that is not cookie cutter, you will enjoy this property! The location of the home situated adjacent to huge boulders was truly profound. Our seven-year-old daughter’s highlight was climbing the boulders and exploring the cave and of course swimming in the salt water pool. She said she wanted to stay and build a tiny home on the cliff overlooking the pool! We will cherish our experience in Joshua Tree. Dale was a kind and interesting host, his passion and creativity was a true inspiration.

Desert Sanctuary
This was our third time at Dale's place, we love the solitude and the desert landscape. The rocks behind the house are a wonderful playground. Dale has done a great job of creating outdoor spaces for relaxing and socializing. The pool area is one of the most beautiful I have seen.

Great Getaway from the City
The property is nestled against Joshua Tree National Park. It feels secluded but it is only a 10-minute drive to civilization. There are plenty of grocery stores, dining options and shops nearby. That said, you are far enough from the main highway to hear silence and enjoy the serenity of the night sky. The property is well kept, and the owner is very hospitable. He met us at the property and gave us a tour highlighting all the available amenities including showing us nearby hiking trails and how to access the on-property cave. He is available for questions and easy to get along with. I would definitely stay there again.

Comfortable getaway
We had a great time in Joshua Tree and felt very comfortable at Dale’s home. We built a fire several evenings and sat in the jacuzzi… wonderful! The house is a bit old fashioned and lovely with the art and books all around. Very private. The pool area is beautiful but it was too chilly for us to swim. Dale is a great guy!

Great Stay!
This phenomenal rental came in clutch when our group decided to scrap the camping plans last minute due to the heat. Dale’s place was perfect. It accommodated our group and sits right up against the park. Great jump off for adventures and the salt water pool welcomed us on our return. Looking forward to another stay at this location when the summer heat simmers down.

Nestled in the rocks...
Nestled in the rocks of Joshua Tree, this home provides an expansive view of the valley below. The property is secluded and very quiet. Filled with original art, colorful interiors, 4 patios, a spa and a pool it is a perfect weekend getaway.

Magic Under the Stars!
Panorama Heights was a magical get away! Floating in the beautiful pool tucked into the rocks and under the stars was an absolutely dreamy way to experience Julian! The home was charming and Dale was very helpful. Our entire family of 6 had a delightful time. Thank you, Dale!

Artscape Experience
Absolutely stunning property providing artful tranquility in every detail. Romantic book lined rooms, the artwork, the sumptuous paint colors, the landscaping, the lighting, the hot tub, and the reflective pool all made this the perfect sanctuary to return to after the Integratron and hiking in Jumbo Rocks.

Relaxing Joshua Tree Oasis
Property is in a beautiful location against the boulders of Joshua Tree. The pool and hot tub are set into the rocks as shown in the pictures. The house has all the amenities necessary for a trouble free and serene stay and the beds were very comfortable. Grocery stores and shops are a few minutes away, however, the property is far enough away to provide a tranquil, relaxing experience. Dale is a very interesting host and is available a short distance away to answer any questions. This was the perfect location for a family weekend.

Amazing hiking getaway
Dale has an amazing property with great history. We loved the personal tour he gave upon arrival. Ask him about his career in the movies. We booked for 4 nights and went hiking 3 days including a hike right out the back of the property on the first day. This house is an obvious labor of love, well equipped, and a short drive from the amenities of town. Also, a short drive to one of the national park entrances. If hiking, check out Arch Rock and Eagle Cliff Mine (if your'e feeling adventurous). There is plenty to explore on the property as well as Rocky View LoopTrail that can be accessed from the back of the property in the park. We recommend this secluded unique home to anyone that wants to visit Joshua Tree National Park.

Awesome Place to Stay!
Dales place in Joshua Tree is in a beautiful setting. We stayed there with our family of four. The house is very well stocked, the grounds and plants were desert perfect and the pool was great. The hiking and exploring in the rocks and caves out the back was our favorite activity. Dale was responsive if we had questions and is very knowledgable about the area. We would highly recommend this place for a quiet desert getaway. Sarah
