Marlene and Justin’s house may make you want to laze around indoors, but it’s also perfectly located for high-desert adventure. Fuel up with a stack of hotcakes from the Crossroads Cafe before a day of exploring the national park next door—or your own 15 acres of Joshua Trees and jackrabbits. Photo: @stateissued

Superhost Rebecca’s big house above the ocean has so many cozy corners that it can be tough to get out. But the beach is only a short walk away. After a day of hiking or whale-watching, head to Spud Point Crab Company for the catch of the day, straight off the owner’s boat. Photo: @earthtoandrea

Superhost Michelle’s high-desert retreat offers an unbeatable sunrise/sunset double feature with an occasional guest appearance by a blanket of snow. In between showtimes, head to nearby Joshua Tree National Park and hike among the massive boulders of the Hidden Valley Nature Trail. Photo: @bighorn_homestead

Superhosts Sara and Eric’s midcentury chalet is equally well suited for hitting the slopes or hanging out by the fire (or in a sunny spot on the floor). A shuttle to Big Bear Mountain Resort is a short walk away. If you ever want a break from the ski/après-ski cycle, check out Big Bear Alpine Zoo, which rehabilitates and releases injured native wildlife. Photo: @treehauschalet

Superhost Robin’s treehouse is cradled by Douglas Firs high above a vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The view has a way of making guests linger, but the beach is only a half-hour away. If you do venture out, here’s some pretty good advice: start your day with a Good Morning Sandwich at Pretty Good Advice, a produce-driven takeout spot just down the mountain. Photo: @prachi9
Our #10 home for the holidays is Superhost Emily’s creative cabin-and-igloo combo in the high desert
Our #10 home for the holidays is Superhost Emily’s creative cabin-and-igloo combo in the high desert. It might not be this snowy when you’re here, but that’s probably a good thing, since you won’t want anything blocking your view of the night sky or slowing down your explorations of Joshua Tree National Park or your neighbor’s front yard. (That neighbor happens to be the sprawling, wildly inventive Noah Purifoy Desert Art Museum.) Link in bio. : @thejoshuatreehangout
When all your walls are windows, there’s no need to let the light in
When all your walls are windows, there’s no need to let the light in. Charlotte’s remote cabin makes you feel cozy and safe and totally at one with the high desert. Once you’ve soaked up all 360 degrees of the view, get out and explore the trails leading right from the property—or head out for a day of rambling or scrambling at Joshua Tree National Park.

Superhost Kelly’s A-frame has a big fenced yard that lets your little ones (whether two- or four-legged) run wild, plus a cozy bedroom just right for sleeping it off. The surrounding pines make you feel like you’re way out in the forest, but live local music and food are only a short walk away at Idyology. Photo: @chrisroams & @idyllcove
