“Savour 360-degree desert views from the other-worldly comfort of an off-grid space-age retreat, ‘hovering’ above California’s Joshua Tree.” hostunusual.com
Refreshingly off-grid, and flooded with daylight from those round windows, up to four lucky guests can reconnect in comfort, with no annoying TV distractions (though the Bluetooth sound system helps you set the perfect background mood…how about the Star Wars soundtrack for a little authenticity?)
Styled with retro décor, accessories, and furnishings throughout, you’ll have plenty of solar power for those essentials, such as phone charging, and firing up the in-house coffee maker each morning! There are board games to keep competitive spirits up, and a downy queen bed for curling up in at night, after a stargazing session quite unlike any other.
Facilities-wise, everything has been thoughtfully covered. There’s plenty of fresh water for invigorating outdoor showers, with a toilet privately housed in an outdoor trailer. Meanwhile, the gorgeous covered outdoor kitchen area is equipped with a propane grill island, for you to whip up your favourite feasts amongst the calming sounds of nature, and a beautiful, sunset-drenched desert backdrop.
Enjoy your meals outside – Area 55 itself boasts five luxurious acres, so there’s more than enough room to stretch out! – before lighting the fire pit for that stargazing session, maybe helped along by a few toasted marshmallows.
