Quail's End

Holiday Rental Description

A mid-century masterpiece with personality to spare, this home hidden away in the desert is a spectacular stay. Every room here has been curated as if it were a museum, and many of the vintage trinkets and treasures belong to the home's owner, celebrated designer Julia Chasman. The living room is the heart of the buzz, warm and rich thanks to the striking orange-red woodburner, old piano, Art Deco lampshades and ikat rugs. The delightful bedrooms have a Western country feel with large, plush beds, framed storybook illustrations and patchwork quilts, while the en-suite bathrooms feature magnificent free-standing roll-top bathtubs and patterned-tiled walk-in showers. And the outside is just as much as a masterpiece as the inside. On the deck take in those uninterrupted views of the Joshua Tree desert, before jumping into the hot tub - best enjoyed at nightfall where you might lucky enough to spot a shooting star.

Home truths:
* Keep an eye on children as this home is not child-proofed and full of many beautiful objects
* You will need a car for your stay to explore the beauty of Joshua Tree
