Finch Cabin Whitewater, California

Property Description

With a five-acre stretch of property at your disposal, this stunning A-frame cabin near the world-famous Joshua Tree National Park takes peace and tranquillity very seriously. Wake up in the four-poster bed every morning before making your way downstairs to get the coffee brewing. Take a seat on the porch, breathing in the fresh air as you admire the beauty of the desert in the morning sun.

There are plenty of cosy spots for you to curl up in with a good book – think a sofa and footstool next to the window or a cushy rattan chair in the bedroom – our favourite remains the hammock right next to the plunge pool. Bask in the sun, enjoy a cold brew, and listen to the sound of the birds. Feel the soft breeze on your skin, smell the desert in the air – what bliss.

Couples can take a dip in the pool together at sundown, but first, treat yourself to a picnic out on the deck. Grab a throw and cover your knees as you sit down around the firepit for s’mores after sunset. Enjoy a cup of steaming cocoa as you stargaze, content with this secluded patch of land that really feels like a private paradise.

After a luxurious soak in the clawfoot tub, you can snuggle up on the sofa and enjoy a movie as you wind down after a wonderful day. If you’re in the mood for a little more activity the next day, head to Joshua Tree National Park or hike some of the more local trails on offer.
